Title: The 700 mark
Post by: pepperman42 on November 29, 2012, 12:11:29 AM

I have a copy of The First of the Few by Denis Winter that goes to the person that comes closest to the date we hit 700 forum members. No duplicate dates. One pick each. No changing after you submit. First come first serve. Deadline November 30 midnight Barrie Ontario Canada time. It is currently 912am Nov 28 here. Lots o luck.

I'll go for 27th December 2012- when people are surfing the net and trying to get over too much turkey, alcohol and indigestion.

Thanks Andrew and congratulations on winning the book, I've heard it is a great read.

The next big milestone for the forum will be the 1000 mark, when that day happens it will be cause for celebrations.

Congrats Andrew. Its a used copy but that doesnt change the readability. Its in the mail today. For the 1000 mark I was thinking first place could be a pair of Toronto Maple Leafs tickets. Second place -  seasons tickets. Canadians will understand that........and you western Canadians will laugh and point as well......stoopid Leafs.......actually stoopid NHL....greedy so n so's....all of em'

Congratulations Andrew, good choice of dates! As for the 1000 Prize, let's leave Hockey out of it Steve, it's just too frustrating to deal with! Perhaps one / some of our "Marketers" on the Site could put up a prize or two..............? ;) 8)
