I am pleased to announce the winners of the 8th Anniversary “Name this Guy” contest. More after the jump! First of all….Wow! That is the biggest response to a contest I’ve ever gotten, the emails never stopped or failed to make me laugh. I got HUNDREDS of names and I wish I could give everyone […]
I say this every year but in addition to being pleased that I remembered the site’s birthday a whole two days prior, I’m grateful for the entire experience. A new contest and a whole bunch more of my babble after the jump! Again, it’s been eight surprisingly short years since I launched PlaidStallions on a […]
I’m pleased to announce the winners of our 7th Anniversary “Toy Denial” contest winners. Like most of the contests I’ve run here, I’ve really enjoyed reading the input from you all and found it hard to make a decision. You can read the results after the jump. First off I was originally only going to […]
Ok, so I got a little ostentatious in thinking I could juggle school, beer, a six year old’s birthday party, beer, fighting a lifelong inclination to nap and judge a tough contest in a single weekend. As a consolation, I’ve increased the amount of winners: I got PILES of great stuff, here are some of […]
After years of blogging about them, I’m finally giving one away! Thanks to my sponsor (my first sponsor in five years I might add) halloween costumes.com I am giving away either a men’s or woman’s disco outfit in the winner’s size. It’s truly the most appropriate grand prize I’ve ever given. (This prize is only […]
I planned on doing this earlier but happily this was the most kids I’ve ever had to the casa. I was beginning to worry that Halloween was in trouble but I’m glad to be wrong. Above is my Sleestak, built mostly with trash. Most people called it the Creature from the Black Lagoon, I’ll live […]
John sent in this awesome picture circa 1978, I gotta say that Hulk costume is so full of righteousness probably because it’s not a comic book Hulk costume, that’s a Lou Ferrigno costume baby! Still time to enter our Halloween Contest, send your vintage Halloween pics or Monster collections on down to me here and you’re in.
For the month of December, I’m running a contest for submissions to theupcoming book “Christmas in the 1970s” send us your best vintage snapshot/Polaroid of the day along with the date and location and anythingspecial about it (Cool present, you got in a fight with your sister, greatfamily memory etc) and we’ll add it to […]
Yesterday Critical Mass releasing issued a statement over at Frightenstein.com saying that the show’s broadcast rights are set to expire Dec 31 2009 and so far, no one has picked them up for 2010, meaning the show would go off the air completely.Being a fan of this Canadian institution, I don’t want to live in […]
It’s contest time again and instead of trivia, I thought it’d be more fun to share personal stories, namely “What’s the worst BS rumour you heard on the playground as a kid?” I’ll share a couple: In 78, I was that unfortunate kid who didn’t see Star Wars when it came out, my pal Gerry […]
