grub's Journal: Let's up the ante (re: Photo Contest)

Anyone else in FortKnox's very cool Slashdot photo contest can enter this. Be the first person to guess who I am (no ACs) and win a US$20 gift certificate to Amazon! Don't reply here, reply in his JE (linked above) only in the relevent thread. No need to clutter his journal up again.

The (non-negotiable) Rules

One entry per user.

Open to other photo contest players only

The entry must be in the appropriate thread within Fort Knox's journal. Entries not under the right thread are disqualified.

First correct entry wins.

Winner gets $20 Amazon gift certificate!

Feel free to link to this page.

(Remember, I'm Canadian so this will cost me about 17 months pay once you figure in the exchange rate!)

an idea

[Mantorp]

you should disallow multiple guesses

Will you answer a couple of questions?

[bethanie]

1) Is your picture *really* of you? (i.e., not Michael Caine or Kiti?)

2) Is your picture relatively recent, or at least covering a span of years within at least the past 5 years?

Answer these, and I'll play.

....Bethanie....

Re:Will you answer a couple of questions?

[grub]

1) Yes, I took them just for the contest.
2) All taken within ~5 minutes.

Good luck!

Re:Will you answer a couple of questions?

[turg]

5 minutes and 6 seconds, to be specific [slashdot.org]

Re:Will you answer a couple of questions?

[grub]

Hahahah! Brilliant detective work!

Your sig

[turg]

About your sig: A god, eh? So why does the Vatican have lightning rods?

If there's a God, wouldn't that be the one place in the world most in need of lightning rods?

You're it!

[Ethelred Unraed]

You're #95!

Or you're Kevin. Haven't made up my mind yet. The clues are there.

Cheers,

Ethelred

"Don't reply here, reply in his JE (linked above) only in the relevent thread."

You have to wait for the appropriate thread to show up in FK's journal :) This is also incentive to get people posting!

Heh

[M.C. Hampster]

Now I feel the need to go back through all of your journal entries and read everything about you because I'm just that competitive.

Great idea :-)

Oh

[nizo]

so you say your picture is already up then?

Re:Oh

[grub]

My picture is up, I won't say if there has been a thread started yet. If not you have to wait for the thread you think is right. :)

Re:Oh

[nizo]

Oh dammit the one I thought might be you isn't, after I looked at the other pictures.

who wants the $20 gc? details ...

[Triumph The Insult C]

i'm not in the contest, but ...

i remember someone kicking back a few beers and taunting the world with a *video* when a particular cd set showed up ...

Re:who wants the $20 gc? details ...

[grub]

Hush you! ;)

So....

[bethanie]

who wins?

....Bethanie....

Re:So....

[grub]

I have to search all the results for guesses, just to see who guessed what. Then I'll look at my actual thread and see if anyone hit it. Maybe tomorrow morning :)

Re:So....

[turg]

Don't give it away before the contest closes

Re:So....

[grub]

Good point, thanks :)

Re:So....

[grub]

so when are you going to get hold of me for your super-duper deluxe exclusive prize?

G

Re:So....

[bethanie]

I gmailed you -- at both addresses this time.

I did it right away just to your listed one, but then forgot about it. I was wondering a little bit -- but didn't want to be pushy. :-)

....Bethanie....

Am I disqualified?

[FortKnox]

;-)

blahblahblahblahblah

Re:Am I disqualified?

[grub]

Well.. I didn't think of that but in the interest of fairness: YOU ARE DISQUALIFIED :P

Hmmm....

[leonmergen]

Looking at the time you post this journal, you must be within the first 43 contestants....

And you being canadian and all, I will guess.... #10!

Re:Hmmm....

[grub]

Post that in FortKnox's journal under #10... Re-read the rules.
