» hey | One Dollar Jackpot - 25 Words or Less Competition

Once again with the great entries! I enjoyed getting 19 20 entries over the weekend for the competition I’m in a bar - hit on me with 25 words or less.

A few new things - thanks to all the visitors from Loquax - it’s their 10th birthday so why not take a squiz at their website? There’s lots of competitions there (especially for UK folk).

Some people too have reported that the email that they should receive when their entry is sent - isn’t getting to them. So if you’re posting an entry and not getting it in your email a few minutes later leave us a little note here!

Anyway on to the winner - *pregnant pause*, but first the runner ups.

I think some of these are well worth writing up as there were quite a few good entries and it was hard to choose a winner:

• Do you work for UPS? cause I could’ve sworn I saw you checking out my package.
• Baby, you can format my hard drive anytime!
• Can I buy you
  a tall cool glass of me?
• Get out the defibrillators, baby… because my heart stops when I C U.
• Roses are red, violets are blue: Let’s have coffee together, just me and you.
• I’m a pirate, baby; let me put my peg-leg in your booty.
• I saw you last week. In the same clothes. You can put them in my washer overnight if you want.
• I’m Chinese… take me out.
• Concrete’s cold,
  Chilling steel bars.
  There’s nobody else.
  Eternity’s ours.
  Your figure’s stunning,
  Your smile’s swell.
  My only love,
  In this cold prison cell.
• I think I like you - you remind me of your mother.
  Wait. That came out wrong…
  You remind me of MY mother?
  (Damnit, not again…)
• Did you hear about Britney Spears’ new single? It’s called ‘Hit On Me Baby One More Time‘. ba doom tish!
• Your legs must be tired because you’ve been running through my mind all night.
• Help the homeless. Take me home with you.
• Spirits low, finances chronic, in a bar would be the perfect tonic.
• I take a polaroid of you, stick the photo over the picture on a ‘Queen of Hearts’ playing card, and hand it to you.

Beautifully done - tacky, some not so appropriate, some just funny and may work. However I challenge anyone this valentine’s day - to go and give someone a ‘roses are red, violets are blue’ poem and seriously think they would get a result from it (result = positive response).

The winner though? Oh the winner - I wanted to give this winner the dollar because I thought that they deserved it from just the sheer fact that it may actually work. Take heed all of you lonely people out there wishing for a date, here is the best advice I can give you.

Hey

Michael - enjoy your dollar! Don’t spend it all at once, maybe you could buy someone a drink with it this Valentine’s day
