As fans of my
facebook page know, I lost my favorite coffee mug earlier today in a fatal
crash. My heart broke right along with
the coffee mug. It was colorful and zany
and the shape was perfect and it was just the right size!
Heavy Sigh.
The other mugs were
jealous. They knew this one was my
favorite. And while I would never tell
the other mugs this, there’s not a one among them that can hold a candle to the
one I lost today.
So, I must begin the
search for a new coffee mug. I would
want it to be bright and colorful – like me.
Snicker. I would want it to be
more egg-like shaped (oval?) rather than fat and round.
Not too tall, but tall enough to hold at least 12 oz of coffee.
I’ve decided a way
that might make this replacement mug more meaningful – special – is if it is
inappropriate! Now that I’m famous, uh,
I mean infamous for being inappropriate it would just seem fitting, don’t you
think?
So, I’m on the
hunt. But then I thought -- why should I hunt alone? I have fans!!
They might find
something that is perfect!!
So, I’m going to hold
an ‘Inappropriate Coffee Cup Contest’!
The RULES:
1) Anyone that is a
fan of the facebook page can participate
2) The mug needs to fit the above description: colorful, zany, and egg/oval shaped holding
at least 12 oz.
3) The mug must:
a) be inappropriate or
b) say something inappropriate or
c) say something about
being inappropriate.
4) The mug cannot be
the type of inappropriate that Punky shouldn’t witness. It’s a coffee mug after all, and it’ll be in
my hand a lot!
5) The mug must not
cost more than my car. Seriously, I’m
not willing to spend more than say, $20 for the mug.
6) The winner will be
the person who finds a picture (including a link to the point of purchase location) that I choose as the best ‘fit’ for me!
I, and I alone, will determine what mug is the winner – if there is
in fact one.
It is not enough to find a picture of a great, inappropriate coffee
mug – there must be a point of purchase location (via the internet) where I can
actually procure the mug.
The Procedure:
1) Post to the
Inappropriate Homeschooler’s facebook page a picture of the mug you think would
work AND a link to the point of purchase location.
After I’ve reviewed the picture (for appropriate
inappropriateness), I’ll allow it onto the wall for all to see.
2) Send a Private Message to the Inappropriate Homeschooler on facebook.
3) Email me a link to the inappropriate mug submission: theinappropriatehomeschooler@yahoo.com
(You might want to facebook me a message that you sent your submission to my email, I'm faithfully unfaithful about checking that email!)
The contest will last
until 12:01a.m. January 1, 2013
The winner of the contest will receive:
Public acknowledgement on my facebook page.
(I know, isn’t that a
GREAT prize)
AND
A duplicate mug sent to them by me!!
(Winner must be
willing to Private Message me their mailing address and I won’t be responsible
for broken or lost item).
On a different
note…..yet not unrelated matter, if you would like to donate to the ‘Buy the
Inappropriate Homeschooler a New Coffee Mug’ fund – contact me for an address
to send your donation too! Hee! Hee!
Everybody got it?
Ready……Set……Find me a
MUG!
