Alicia Keys at the GrammysYes, I’m going to make it as easy as I possibly can for people to try to get win these unclaimed prizes. But before I tell you the details, I’m going to bore you a little bit.

First, I was having a discussion with Jason of Theuniversitykid.com a few days ago and he asked me how the contest went. I told him that a handful of people never claimed their prizes and he mentioned that was going to happen. He even told me that someone was trying to claim a prize from his old contest that was maybe a month or two old.

That just made me realize that some people will simply enter a contest and never come back. So, I figured I should take care of my loyal readers as much as I can. I mean, there was a reason why I made the contestants claim the prizes so if they were going to stop by that one time and never come back, well, I guess they would have never known they won. So, my loyal readers will be able to step up for these great prizes.

Now, here are the unclaimed prizes:

- “Review on Carlocab.com”
- “One month 125×125 Ad spot on Yimto.com”
- “Two Months 125×125 Ad Spot on Etienneteo.com”
- “Footnote Ad on Garryconn.com”
- “One Month 125×125 Ad Spot on Winningtheweb.com”
- “Review on Piggybankpie.com”
- “Review on Blogaboutyourblog.com”
- “Review on Theblogentrepreneur.com”
- Two month text link on all five of my blogs – for two winners
- And still 33 $5 phone cards!

Now, all you have to do for your chance at these unclaimed prizes is leave a comment with a) why you should win one or all of these prizes or b) leave a comment with the funniest thing you can think of (hey, I like funny things, what can I say?). And yes, it can be a mix of both.

From that list of commentators, I will then randomly select winners. So, technically, you’ll probably have a shot to win ALL the unclaimed prizes.

Wait, there must be a catch, right?

Of course there’s a catch! Ha Ha! Since there are technically 43 unclaimed prizes (10 reviews/ads and 33 phone cards), I will need at least 43 different commentators to leave comments. If we don’t reach that number, I will just go back to randomly picking from the original long ass list of over 1,000 entries which in fact will probably lead to even more unclaimed prizes. You don’t want that to happen, do you?! I would suggest spreading the word real quick because look at how easy I made this?

I’m doing this for people who read my blog regularly. And yes, there will be a chance that some random person finds this post and comments and wins but the chances are slimmer than you think.

So, what are you waiting for? Comment on this post already! You have until noon time on Friday June 13th.

    Hmmm, as I sit here typing, hoping something witty travels from my brain to my fingertips, I can’t think of a funny thing to say. Now just watch, as soon as I hit enter, then the funny stuff will come and it will be too late. Gas cards, yeah, how about a gas card? Is this the contest for gas cards? Maybe I’m in the wrong place…is the coffee ready yet? If you give me all of the unclaimed prizes I will find a nice clean home for them.

    Kelly & mxyzplk - Please read the post on how to enter… simply leaving a basic comment does not qualify for an entry.

    Teasa - LOL! Sounds like you need your coffee!

    Wong - LOL! I had to read that like 5 times and had some help, the third son is named John… good one! good one! LOL!

    owh sorry I thought just to leave comment and I try to ask :D so leave comment with funny things?

    uhmm let me try this…

    As you are aware, ships have long been characterized as being female (e.g., “Steady as she goes” or “She’s listing to starboard, Captain!”)

    Recently, a group of computer scientists (all males) announced that computers should also be referred to as being female. Their reasons for drawing this conclusion follow:
    Five reasons to believe computers are female:

    1. No one but the Creator understands their internal logic.
    2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else.
    3. The message “Bad command or file name” is about as informative as, “If you don’t know why I’m mad at you, then I’m certainly not going to tell you.”
    4. Even your smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for later retrieval.
    5. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.

    However, another group of computer scientists, (all female) think that computers should be referred to as if they were male. Their reasons follow:
    Five reasons to believe computers are male:

    1. They have a lot of data, but are still clueless.
    2. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem.
    3. As soon as you commit to one you realize that, if you had waited a little longer, you could have obtained a better model.
    4. In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on.
    5. Big power surges knock them out for the rest of the night.

    Jay, I really like the way you organize the mini contest for those unclaimed prizes. You make it so easy for us to have another chance.

    OK, here’s the reason why I should win any of the those prizes is simply because I am one of your top commentators. On last check, I’m on the top. Don’t you think I deserve some kind of rewards from you, Jay?

    BTW, how many people who previously joined your contest know you by the name of Jay? You got my point, don’t you?

    Thecontestblogger - Make sure you give a reason why you would like to win the prizes or tell me something funny :P

    Laura - LOL! That’s a good one…

    Blog for Beginners - Well, I think ALL my readers deserve some sort of reward. Plus, being a top commentator, you’re getting a link on my blogroll :P Oh, and a bunch of people know me as Jay… but all good points, hey, that was good enough to get counted as an entry!

    Eathan - LOL! Yo, I was dying when I read that… “ok..i’m going to have to pull the race card, I’m black! lol” Man, that one caught me off guard, didn’t expect anyone to do that! LOL!

    Okay, my attempt:
    a) I NEED the prizes. I’m kinda homeless and need more traffic, so that my blog gets more exposure and then I’ll get some adsense impressions and maybe clicks, and then BOOM I’ll be a household name. Okay maybe not, but the rest is true.

    b) Why didn’t Hitler drink whiskey? Because it made him mean. (now that deserves a 125×125 ad if you ask me).

    Take care Jay.

    Wow Great Prizes - Let me at em, Let me at em!

    You want Funny, You get Funny :)

    My first job was working in an orange juice factory, but I got canned because I couldn’t concentrate.
    Then I worked in the woods as a lumberjack, but I just couldn’t hack it, so they gave me the axe.
    After that I tried to be a tailor, but I just wasn’t suited for it.
    The job was only so-so anyhow.
    Next I tried working in a muffler factory, but that was exhausting.
    I wanted to be a barber, but I just couldn’t cut it.
    I attempted to be a deli worker, but any way I sliced it, I couldn’t cut the mustard.
    My best job was being a musician, but eventually I found I wasn’t note worthy.
    I studied a long time to become a doctor, but I didn’t have any patience.
    Next was a job in a shoe factory; I tried, but I just didn’t fit in.
    I became a professional fisherman, but discovered that I couldn’t live on my net income.
    I thought about becoming a witch, so I tried that for a spell.
    I managed to get a good job working for a pool maintenance company, but the work was just too draining.
    My last job was working at Starbucks, but I had to quit, because it was always the same old grind.
    After many years of trying to find steady work, I finally got a job as a historian, until I realized there was no future in it.
