Comments Lottery

Hi everyone.  This is another double-post day, as I'd just like to take a moment to announce an upcoming prize drawing here at Macabre Republic.  In an effort to draw lurkers out of the Web-work (no shame there--I've been known to lurk myself; took me years to officially join the Shocklines message boards), I'm going to be running a "comments lottery."  The idea is very simple: for each and every comment you leave on any of this month's posts, you'll be entered into a drawing for a $25 (the magic number to qualify for free shipping) gift card from Amazon.com.  A single comment enters you into the lottery, but the more comments you leave, the better the odds that you'll be the person who has his/her name drawn (by the way, it's important that you identify yourself by name when commenting--I won't be able to distinguish your contribution if you just enter under "Anonymous").  The only other caveat is that we're talking actual comments, not spam; there is no minimum length requirement, as long as the comment is legitimate (I reserve the right to discount any comments that do not adhere to the spirit of the contest--e.g. don't just start up a running dialogue with a friend in the comments section of a post).

The lottery's open period starts now and runs up until midnight on August 31st.  The winner will be announced here on September 1st.

So commence commenting, and good luck!

A contest guaranteed to draw in the curious. Clever idea, Joe.
