@mac_shinobi

We'll announce the winner on the big draw day...which happens to be halloween...so a great time for sock puppet monsters. Entries close October 30th midnight.

@sparkeh

And you think the misuses lets me slack off to clown around with you jokers when there's DIY to be done?

 

How many missuses have you got??!! Sparkeh the polygamous love guru - what a great name for a comic-strip character.

@VeryPC_Colin_M or @VeryPC - When do the sock tober puppets have to be submitted by as don't want to miss the cut off point for getting this awesome rucksack / backpack !!!

 

By the last day of October I think my man.

Actually the day before that. Get your Sock-Puppet-SOCKtober-Selfies in before midnight on the 30th October and I (yes ME, I'm gunna judge this one) will pick a winner and announce in the final video of SOCKtober on Friday 31st October.

 

I'll be more impressed by real sock-puppets than artwork (unless your artwork is a lot very really big creative/funny/awesome). Remember your selfie must contain your sock-puppet and yourself in either photo or artwork stylee, but as I said, I'm more interested in real hand made puppets and photos, so give yourself the best chance.

Count yourself lucky. I've never been pulled from the chassis... ever! (Although I did once have the privilege of doing the pulling during PADMay.)

SOCKtober DVD Extras!

 

We've added a couple of "hidden" extra footage videos to the YouTube SOCKtober playlist. Me recording the original audio for the YouTube auto caption video and Will and I operating the puppets behind the sofa.

 

Here's a link to the playlist so you can find them if you are interested (they appear just after the relevant main video in the chronology). Subscribe to our YouTube channel to get notifications of future "secret" uploads.

 

 

Enjoy, if that's your thing.

It's okay, the Drobbox link works fine.

 

Excellent work sir!

 

So @mac_shinobi has the only pitch for the cool Intel bag so far. Who's going to challenge him?

 

Send your SOCKtober sock puppet selfies in for a chance to win.
