…all of you. You are all winners. Just, you know, not of the Totally Killer/TNB/Facebook contest. There’s only one winner where that is concerned. Actually, there are three.
But before I make that dramatic announcement, I’d like to introduce the president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Mr. Jack Valenti.
[cue:reluctant applause]
Just kidding.
Instead, let’s take a moment to look at the most totally killer — the totally killerest? — photo of the 1991 batch. This is my friend Ruth, who is probably the last person you’d expect to see photographed packing this kind of heat:
A word about my methodology, though. There were 117 official entrants, which means the Grand Prize is a signed copy of the book, plus a $50 iTunes gift card. I was so touched by your incredible response and show of support — how fun has it been to see all those old photographs? — that I’m also sending signed books to two runners-up.
I assigned each entrant a number, 1-117, and, using the “pick random number” function on my iPhone, picked three numbers. (My wife did this, actually, by shaking the phone; it was really fun). The first one picked was the winner; the other two, the runners-up.
Thank you so much for participating. I really appreciate it. As I said, I’m really touched by the response.
And now, without further ado, the envelope please…
The winner is…
GLORIA HARRISON
And the runners-up are…
DENNIS C. LEWIS
&
CAREY ANDERSON
Please drop me a line, you three, with your mailing address at your earliest convenience.
Thanks again,
Greg
PS
It is now OK to change your profile pictures back to their original upright position.
You like me! You really like me! I would like to thank the academy…
I’m stoked. Sending you my email address right now.
😀
Congrats, Gloria!
Yay! Congratulations to Gloria! Woo-hoo!
That photo of your friend Ruth *is* the totally killerest. The gun says, “Get off my porch!” and the smile says, “Please, if you don’t mind, I mean.” 🙂
