Purple-Days 420 Contest

"When you smoke herb it reveals you to yourself." -Bob Marley

That's a very profound statement. Seems like the illegality of herb has something to do with the prohibition against knowing who you are.

I really like the way you interpreted the quote, quite similar to my own. I just think most people (people who don't smoke/are against it) don't fully understand the benefits of marijuana and what a life changing substance it can be.

 

[Purple-Days]

A couple more honorable mentions...

 

[CaptainDDL]

Oh man that looks awesome.

 

[Purple-Days]

Two weeks left, and post cards don't travel as quick as envelopes, IMO. Get you post card and send in your guess. Plenty of room for a better guess. The prize unit is pretty cool, lot of figuring.

 

[jeffp]

Tom, when you say "a better guess" are you saying we can resubmit a better guess, or plenty of room for new contestants?

 

[Purple-Days]

New contestants only, one guess per user-name. This is a FC exclusive give-away.

If you haven't entered you can enter, you have two weeks before the cut-off,
the current guess is pretty good , but there is still room to throw your dart
closer to the center.

Enter please. All post cards get stapled to the shop walls. I like them...

 

[jmscliff]

Postcards on the wall, that sounds nice. I did that with sports illustrated covers.

[Purple-Days]

Thanks for sending, lots of friends there.

Pammy just showed me one today, smiles.

The 'prize' is hanging in the shop window like a Christmas Goose.

Please guess, it makes me smile !

[jwpatt]

Tom, I sent mine in about 10 days ago. Just wanted to verify it got there. Thanks.

 

[Flyer]

double x fingers you got mine.

 

[upriver]

Received a nice little treat in the mail today! Thanks guys!

 

[brandonflav]

Just fucking great. I go to my mailbox today and what do I see, the god damn post card I sent out for the contest.

 

[Flyer]

bransonflav, you got time re ship it. today

 

[Domoer]

Hope mine reaches you in time, sent it out a couple days ago.

 

[Purple-Days]

Tomorrow marks 12 weeks. Since folks aren't required to check in, and even when they do they might miss a small post like this (before it was stickyed), I thought this was about the best balance between too long and too short. Last time we ran a quicky and very few entered. This time we had a decent trickle of cards, but in the last couple of days our stack has about doubled (almost ).

I have said there was room for a better dart...
drumroll .... .... .... .... ...................
we have a new King of the Heap with less than 24 hours to go.

Several honorable mentions too, so hang in there you still might have won something.

The winning number and actual numbers will go up at 4:20 on 4-20. There may be a new King tomorrow, but congrats to the current best guess.

 

[Samsquanch]

Wow , it actually got there in time , I am totally amazed

 

[panasonic]

Man, I meant to put a message on the card, but when I wrote all the required info, there was no room. :/

Anyways, thanks for running the contest! The anticipation is the fun part

 

[aromaartist]

Is there a prize for second place?

 

[Purple-Days]

Here it is. The official numbers list.

Thanks to all who sent us a card.
We will enjoy them on the walls of the shop throughout the year.

How about these odds for a contest 1:39 ???
