Laughing Where In The World Is Smuggy?

We have a cool new contest! Grab a camera and the guts to place Smuggy in an outrageous, exotic, or surprising locale and you could score big. Any photography fanatic or globetrotter can compete to win an all-expense paid weekend to Napa Valley or Amazon Gift Certificates

Create your own Smuggy out of found materials, paint, gummi worms... the sky’s the limit and the world’s your stage.

You can even get cool stickers if you want!

All the details, on The Contest Site.

Questions? Ideas? Post 'em here

EDIT: We are allowing any number of entries per person, so have at it!

EDIT: Contest is closed, winners will be announced as soon!

wow, awesome prise potential there! I just wish it had started a couple months ago so the first two ideas I came up with woulda been possible.

1. wipe smuggy into the vernix on my son's back or chest. For a chance at that vacation, I'm pretty sure my wife woulda been game for it.

2. "mow" smuggy into the stalks of corn before they were harvested, crop circle style. I even know a farmer that might have let me try it on his field, but most of them around here have already brought their crops in.


hmm... on second thought... maybe I shouldn't share these ideas....... not like I'm gunna be able to do 'em. Anyone shoot them and wins should share, m'kay?

more prominently so other non-US residents don't get all excited like me

I even sent my email for the stickers before I realised

The entertaining but unofficial version:
  1. You gotta be a U.S. resident and 18 years old to enter (or age of majority in your state). NO PURCHASE IS NECESSARY to enter or win; void where prohibited.
  2. Contest starts 12:01 a.m. (PST) on October 5, 2007 and ends 11:59 p.m. (PST) on December 5, 2007.
  3. No take backs or do overs, so hit us with your best shot. Odds of winning depend on number of eligible entries received.
I believe that rule number 3 indicates 1 shot per person i.e. "HIT US WITH YOUR BEST SHOT" it is not plural "Shots" but singular.

Hey but I could be misinterpreting them....Perhaps we need an "official" to decipher it??

Devbobo didn't seem official enough as The Thing?

You may indeed submit more than one entry.
