(CROWD CHEERS WILDLY)

Host: In a minute we will get to the results, but first a few announcements. We here at Get Out Of Life Alive would like to thank everyone for their votes, it's nice to know that more than 2 people are actually reading the blog!!

Next, I would like to just tell everyone that, even if you didn't win a prize, you should all feel like winners...after all, you did make it this far!!

Ok, now it's time to reveal the winning number in the LP contest, along with our 3 winners!! The actual amount of LP's in Tony's Collection is...

REVEALED AFTER THIS BREAK!!

(CROWD MOANS AND BOOS)


(Shameless Plug of an Item That I Like) I know none of you have probably ever heard of this guy, or of this CD, but it is awesome to the 10th degree, and I highly recommend you go to Amazon.com and buy it right away...it only costs a penny plus 2.49 shipping on Amazon, so you really should just go there and get a copy, and thank me later!!

He was off by 2,999,998,231.

20th Place: Sue M. from Batesville voted 3,000. She was off by 1,231.

19th Place: My cuz Juli voted 769, and was off by 1,000 exactly.

17th Place: Freaky von Teaky voted 2,636. He was off by 867.

16th Place: Jenny from the hilariously contagious Run Jen Run blog voted 967 and was 802 off.

15th Place: Jean, my friend down south voted 1,018, and missed by 751.

14th Place: Kristy from the 'Burg guessed 1,092 and was 677 off.

13th Place: Jaime from Bloomington scientifically voted 1,152...but was off by 617. (Ironic you came in 13th, cause I remember once in 6th grade we had to pick numbers in History or some such class, and you took 13...I remember, because it's always been my lucky number and you took it from me!! I was mad, but I forgive you now...Peace rules!! War drools!!)

12th Place: Boyce voted 1,190. He missed by 579.

11th Place: (and also his volleyball number) Crank 11...Dr Phil's cousin...took on the day with a vote of 2,325. He missed by 556.

10th Place: Deb C. voted 1,243. She was off by 526.

9th Place: Teri from Milan voted 1,298, missing by 471.

8th Place: Deez (of the famous Nutz family) voted 1,335. He missed by 434.

7th Place: Foley (a co-worker of Kirk) answered 1,400. Sorry, Foley, you came in last in your office pool...you missed by 369.

6th Place: Dani (daughter of 9th Place finisher Teri) voted 1,409 and easily defeated her mom's vote, missing by 360.

5th Place: Mike (another co-worker of Kirk's) voted 1,912. He barely missed the prizes with a guess that was 143 off. 2nd in the office pool isn't bad...unless your co-worker wins a prize!!

4th Place: Andi voted 1,890, and was only 121 records off!! Great vote!!


3rd Place...



Kirk was only 100 records off!! Ironically, so was the 2nd place winner, but since the 2nd place winner's entry came in before Kirk's (and because I'm too cheap to buy a second copy of Crossroads), Kirk will be receiving the 3rd place prize. Kirk, if you really had your heart set on a VHS Crossroads, I'll hook you up, brotha!!

2nd Place...



Emily was also 100 records off, but what makes it even more incredible was the fact that she was the first to vote!! Having no other votes to go off of, Em came thisclose to winning the whole thing. If Purdue were only founded a little bit earlier!! Congrats,Emily!!

1st Place...



That's right, my homegirl, Amanda was the only person to vote in the 1,700's and was an incredible, an astonishing, an unbelievable 17 records away from hitting a bulls-eye and getting the in house concert!!

17!!! Take that, suckas!!

Congratulations to all the winners, and better luck next time to all the non-winners. Be sure to check back for more exciting stories and contests at Get Out of Life Alive!! Make sure you buy Josh Clayton Felt's CD, visit Pax Astra and Run Jen Run (by clicking on their names in this post) and have you pets spayed or neutered!!

This was fun! You have inspired me. I am thinking about running a contest on my blog. Could be something like - How long before my kid pukes on Chris again? What do you think? :)

Gillespie said...

Sue: Thanks!!

Jaime: Let me know when your contest is, I'll take Chris being puked on in 45 minutes!!

1786?!?!? Good god, man!

It really didn't look like that many from the photo - was there a false bottom where you were hiding another 800?

Very fun - thanks!
