Winner announced for my Lunch-Date


lunch-winner

Congratulations to S1l3n7Hawk (I think it’s pronounced Silent Hawk) for winning the lunch-date with me. S1l3n7Hawk is invited to have a lunch date with me (my treat!) at the Beverly Hills Hotel, if he is interested in attending! I will contact him to see if he’s interested and find out if and when we can do it. If he can’t make it, I will offer it to one of the 10 followup winners.

The 10 followup winners are:  sitepointmatt, dcnoye, Truismfinest, spygirlguide, OneG, thedrcarl, Brad_lol, JohnFletch, jd_makubex, Moose53.

You will each receive a personalized signed pic from me and are eligible for winning the lunch if S1l3n7Hawk  can’t make it.

Again, congrats to S1l3n7Hawk!  I am looking forward to the lunch!  He can get me up to speed (pun intended) on Nascar racing!

    You are envied by students across the land and throughout the world.

    Hey great, a car guy! I’ll have to go check him out on twitter.
    When I run my contest for “win a lunch date with BillyB” :cool: I’ll include all the GoDaddy girls, even if they don’t follow me on twitter… But their name’ll have to fit the criteria of filling in the blanks with vowells D_n_c_ P_tr_ck I want to check out the Tissot time piece… so cool.

    Well, I suppose Nascar is a start but F1 is what she should be aiming for.
    Where Nicole leads, Marina could overtake. (or take over)

  • http://sostire.ca/ BillyB

    Wow he only had two followers on twitter & you were one of ‘em… just increased his follower count. I’ll try not to spam him.
    Sounds like he can make it… (as long as it doesn’t interfere with racing schedule).
    You’ll save a little money on airtravel too, so take him for a ride in your convertible & try’n scare him (no roll cage).

  • http://sostire.ca/ BillyB

    IRL should keep her, I’ve always liked the Indy car series. Too bad they had that division the last few years. Hope they can build it up again. I’ve been to the Long Beach race, fantastic weekend show. Also went to a few of the Indycar race weekends in Vancouver. Six different classes of racing on the track (streets) all weekend, lots to see & do. They killed that venue a few years back though :sad:
    F1 is a little too hot politically right now, & I’m afraid “stuck up”… kinda like an “old boys” club mentality, so it seems.

    I wish you would come to England sometime soon Marina! Either that or I will have to go to the states, but I don’t know if I will be allowed in.

    The winners name is Anthony Martin of Southern California. He is so over joyed he can’t contain himself. :mrgreen:

    Congrats S1l3n7Hawk!

  • quiggles

    Congratulations to the winners! That’s so great! :smile:

    News flash – I heard on the BBC that the Oxford Press will soon release the most comprehensive thesaurus ever complied. It’s vastly more comprehensive than a conventional thesaurus with 600,000 word histories and origins and took 44 years (!!!) to produce. It will be pre-released to academics and universities this week and I surely hope Marina gets the chance to review it. I heard it will also be available in electronic form. Look out Kindle!

    Cheers, Q

    Congratulations to Silent Hawk better him than me I’d order the Black Caviar appetizer and Marina’s wallet would cringe. Who needs Oxford press I use http://www.dictionary.com. :grin:

    I am ALL over that! Already ordered but bummed that it doesn’t come out until October! :x

  • seesixcm6

    To the winners a :idea: nd runners-up: Congratulations and treat Marina very nicely. Since you represent over 200,000 subscribers, I suggest, even urge, that you bring Marina some nice presents. Marina Likes Lady Godiva chocolates, and some flowers would be nice. :razz:
    I hope you enjoy a nice time and take some photos!

  • originalistrick

    Congratulations to all of you, especially Anthony. It is utterly impossible for me to be any more envious of you than I am right now as I write these words.
    Ah, that’s not true-wait until I see the inevitable images.

    Seriously, congrats.

  • niteowl

    Yes. Congrats to all.

    Don’t cry too hard. Remember that the winner will owe the IRS income tax on the value of the airplane ticket, meal and whatever else is received. If there is a state income tax, they will be owed, too.

    I’m just full of good news! :lol:

  • CampKohler – Sacramento CA

    Have a few stiff drinks and you will get tighter. :roll:

    There should be a “#!” in the end. That gives the spirit :razz: . £@%$#! Yeah, that’s the one I was looking for. :lol:

  • originalistrick

    I don’t think Marina’s behind is falling one bit.

    44 years seems to be pretty fast. The Grimm Brothers started their German dictionary in 1838 and it was completed after more than 120 years in 1961.

  • s1l3n7hawk

    Lucky Guys!

    Hope everybody has fun! I watched Marina’s lesson on how to get a date (as I understood it, teacher’s advice was to make a woman feel inadequate…commenting on her hair, whatever…weird to imagine, maybe it’s a Russian thing) so I’ve tried EVERY way I could think of to make Marina feel insecure and inadequate- no date! Duh! Oh well, guess I’ll go fly fishing instead.

  • beevee14

    Ok, Hawk, here is the strategy. During the early part of the meal, be aloof and above it all. Imagine you’re riding the thermals. Then, just after the entree but just before you get your iced tea refilled, swoop down on her and pummel(pummle :?: ) her with a flurry of verbal anecdotes and compliments designed to keep her off balance. ‘Your eyes are pretty, they don’t make your head look so small’ and ‘I love LA. Where else will you see a green sunset?’ are good ones. When shes woozy, back off again and act uninterested until her limo pulls up. When she puts on the glad-to-meet-ya deal with her hand out, parry that down with your left, step through it, and encircle her with your right arm around her waist. Dip her back deep, look her in the eye, and(before her security pummels{pummles :?: }you) say, “Thanks for the chow, babe”. Stand her back up and step. DO NOT look back. Always leave’em wantin’ more.

    It WILL work. M just lo-o-oves me :!: ;-)

    Ahhh, The good ol’ USDA. Definately workers inaction. If you wanna get promoted, stand in line and wait for someone to die. But I’m not bitter. Why? Am I acting bitter… :twisted:

  • beevee14

    Oh, yeah, you’re into cars. if you bring up cars, say something like, “I noticed in your pics you were looking at Mercedes. Do you like?” not, “I just put a new, longer duration cam in my Stroker to improve top-end performance.” She might look at you funny(or not) :!: Don’t use those lines that car-guys use like,’I'm real good with my hands’ or ‘you give me enough time under the hood, I can make that engine purr.’

    Good luck, good hunting, and fall out! :mrgreen:

  • leonard
