UPDATED WITH WINNER!! Nobody Expects The PYTHON 16-Ton Megaset!! Herc’s Monday Complete-Series Giveaway!!

UPDATE!! The winner is @thechadrocks, the first in with the correct answer. After five years cleaning public lavatories, Ken Shabby will be given a brush.

Thanks to all for playing! Look for more Twittery giveaways coming soon!

ORIGINAL POST:

I am – Hercules!!

All you have to do is:

1) “Follow” me on Twitter.

2) Constantly monitor my Twitter account between 6 a.m. and 11 p.m. Pacific Time Monday, Feb. 22, 2010. At some point during this window I will post a contest question on my Twitter account. The first to correctly answer this question via Twitter AFTER I pose it via Twitter will get his or her own copy of the Monty Python 16-Ton Complete Series Megaset.

THE QUESTION HERC WILL POST ON TWITTER: “What kind of promotion can Ken Shabby expect following five years of cleaning out public lavatories?”

IMPORTANT!! Your Twittered answer MUST begin with @hercAICN. Don’t screw this up!

IMPORTANT!! If you answer the question BEFORE I post the question in Twitter you will be automatically disqualified.

IMPORTANT!! This contest is only available to residents of the United States.

IMPORTANT!! If you win, immediately forward Herc your shipping address and phone number: herculesAICN@yahoo.com. If you fail to do so within 24 hours, Herc will assign the prize to another.

Contestants are free to unfollow my Twitter account post-contest, but it might behoove them to remain following for two reasons:

1) I’m not a Twittering fiend. I’ve tweeted fewer than 600 times since I set up the account last April.

2) I’m going to be giving away a lot more supercool prizing via that account in the coming days and weeks. And I may be announcing these contests only on Twitter.

Again, I will update this post after the winner wins.

Namaste.


Follow Herc on Twitter!!


HD Luca Brasi!!


“Farscape: The Complete Series,” $129.49 last year, is momentarily $59.99. That works out to less than $15 per season!!
