Two year anniversary/400th post/1st giveaway contest

Posts: 827 ✭✭✭✭✭
Today marks two years since I finally signed up after years of lurking. I have met some really good folks through this board, both in real life and via the messages. I have had help from members on my sets that I truly appreciate, and tried to give back when I have something to offer.
So, as tradition dictates, I am holding my first giveaway, there are 6 prizes in this one, so vote early and vote often.
First, the prizes for the main round:
1st place is a new Cadillac Eldorado
2nd place is a set of steak knives
3rd place is you're fired.
The bonus round includes some shiney coins in odd holders.
Bonus 1st Place: ICG 1959-D 1c RPM-10 MS65 RD ( this is a pop 2 coin, none finer as far as I can tell)
Bonus 2nd place: NCG 1955 10c Sample (oddball, usually see 1960's dimes in sample holders)
Bonus 3rd place: PCGS 1952 1c PR64RD Rattler (this is a toughie in rattler livery)
Since it seems that the David Mamet has laid claim to the main round, so all entries will be for the bonus round only.
The rules are simple, traditional Calvinball rules shall apply:
1) Masks must be worn when making your entry. Any entry submitted when not wearing a mask will be immediately invalidated.
2) Music must be involved, either listening to or making music when making your submission is acceptable.
3) The rules are subject to change at any time, by any player for any reason.
Have fun!
The winners shall notify me which coin they won and why they won it in one weeks time.

Wearing my dog mask listening to mrs. Smith at Norms guitars reveling in the knowledge that I won a 1959 D Lincoln RPM.
"A dog breaks your heart only one time and that is when they pass on". Unknown
Aw shucks, half-time and only 8 entries.
And nobody has changed the rules yet!
Best song wins. I'll have Hammer pick up the Caddy for me!
I'll play. Me and my wife are in our Halloween costumes, I'm wearing my Bill Clinton mask and she is dressed like Monica Lewinsky. Listening to Nazareth "This Flight Tonight".
New rule! Everyone who missed out on the bonus prizes would win a pack of tissue as consolation prize!
Please send a self-addressed stamped envelope (S.A.S.E) to KindaNewish along with a money order of $2 to cover packaging and handling fee .
I'm in, and I declare the mask rule null and void.
The music listened to while entering must be by the Grateful Dead, and
I won the NGC sample dime because I declared it first.
Thank You!
I'm going with a theme here....
Wearing the same mask John Paul Jones wore in his 'fantasy sequence' in the Led Zep movie The Song Remains the Same.
To be consistent with the above, I am of course listening to the live version of 'No Quarter' from the aforementioned movie soundtrack (which was the song during said sequence).
There is 'no quarter' amongst the prizes...
The rest of the forum is now competing for 2nd place
Many Thanks to @KindaNewish

I'm in. New rule - masks are a must, but "if there are no pics, it didn't happen."
I'm wearing a Nacho Libre mask. Listening to The Dead South - "In Hell I'll Be in Good Company". Go to YouTube and watch/listen to the official video. Listen to the whole thing.....a few times. It grows on ya!
I won the 1952 OGH PR64 Cent, because I don't currently have a Proof Cent, and because c'mon, who else has a Nacho Libre mask??? And, to quote Nacho himself, "I don't want to get paid to lose. I wanna win!"
Rocking my "shiny-object-syndrome"!!!
The rules have changed because I don't have a mask readily available, my wife is wearing her blue wig while singing like a virgin and I'll take the rattler because I said so. Thanks for playing!
"Another brick in the Wall" by Pink Floyd and wearing my black Masquerade mask (used LY on the Bourbon St)
Rule change! You must also include a number and color in your post.
I’m listening to the Grateful Dead and Tim Minchin’s 15 minutes of fame at the same time while wearing a blue mask because blue is the bes color.
CN eBay
All of my collection is in a safe deposit box!
Oh, if you need to include a number and color, you can see that my mask has 4 holes in the face, and is blue and red.
Rocking my "shiny-object-syndrome"!!!
NEW RULE: you must include a picture of one of your pets, any other rule before mine is void except for the music rule. I am listening to kids bop right now.
NEW RULE: No pics of pets required, if you don't have one. I don't - allergies.
Rocking my "shiny-object-syndrome"!!!

Rule change masks are back. I'm wearing my Jim James mask and listening to Grateful Dead play "Silvio".
Congrats on your anniversary- I like seeing your icon too- it takes me back to good memories of laugh filled Saturday nights.
Crap I knew I was forgetting something- I won the ICG cent.
Black & 7
Newest rule! Winner of self portrait wet t-shirt contest takes all!
New rule: There are no new rules. I won the ICG cent because nobody else followed the rules.
Time to take a closer look at the original prizes:
Results are being tabulated with the transmorgifier in a few minutes.
Any late entries for the steal?
I have just been contacted by the judges, their decision is final.
As noted in the first post, this contest is for the bonus round only.
3rd place (the rattler): there was a three way tie. Normal protocol would have the prize cut into three equal pieces, ( left side, right side and inside), but as a proud member of SPQR (Society for the Preservation of Quality Rattlers), it is against my oath to allow this to happen. So the judges have ruled in favor of @Eric_Babula on the strength of his score in the hammer throw.
Congratulations, PM me to receive your participation trophy.
2nd place (NGC sample) goes to @OKCC , 'cause he's the only one who wants it. Stand proud, my friend. please accept this token for a job well done!
1st place (ICG RPM). Strong competition atop the leaderboard for this badboy. But like the green jacket at the Masters, the prize must remain in the locker room at Augusta (them's the rules, sorry).
This years winner is @jedm. I really don't know why, but, hey, I'm not in charge of this, I just report the judges choice. Probably for his impressive interpretive dance at the opening ceremony.
PM me to receive your well deserved bling.
Wow! That's awesome, @KindaNewish ! Thank you so much for the contest! And, congratulations on your 2 year anniversary and 400th post!!! Great 1st contest, and I love your explanations of the judges' rulings!!!
Rocking my "shiny-object-syndrome"!!!
Gee whiz I'm honored.... that dance was pretty impressive... I just sorta made it up as I went along. Like this gal:

SWEET SOUND! I had never heard this stuff before. Thanks for introducing us.
No rules followed so I guess I am fired.
Well, it only took 2 1/2 months, but the final prize has finally been claimed.
Next years giveaway will be awesome, but the same rules will apply. Be sue to vote early and often.
Remember, Rule number One - there are no rules!
Rule number Two - no outside food.
- from The Simpsons, Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp, rules read by Mick Jagger
