First of all, esteemed ladies and gentleman, thank you so much for your entries. We are privileged to introduce to you the winner of the Borders gift card.
Chloe was the official name-drawer. The winner is:
Zachary Barkman!
(No this was not rigged.)
(Zachary wishes to express his sadness that somebody else didn't win the giveaway. He released a statement saying that, if anyone is angry that he won the giveaway, being Cherie's brother, he will give it to another person. He also gave us permission to make fun of him on this site, which we will defer for now.)
Stay tune for Monica's superb writing. And more giveaways, of course. And have a wonderful day.
My jaw literally dropped just now. Not rigged, my foot. Chlo, what about me, Chlo? I mean, does the boy even LIKE Borders? Let's please think about these things. Why oh why do I even enter contests...
ReplyDeleteSo, to the commenter who harbors envy of epic proportions, i ask meself. I says, self,
ReplyDelete"Who ees dis 'vite les und potry'?She maust be kviyeted. Soon. Or els. Very gud, very gud."
Thank you Chloe.And I most certainly do appreciate Borders.Though I've never been there, and am not likely to rant and rave over books quite as much as my older sister, and other to-remain-unnamed-friends-AND/OR-cousins, I do appreciate great books written by brilliant authors. However, in the event that upon experiencing such a magnificent establishment as a bookstore of this caliber, I am totally unenthused as to the opportunity to purchase literature in great quantity at so wonderful a store...
I will give it to the first person who commented on this most excellently revealing post.
Oh look.
(And Cherie, I do feel some guilt as to the lack of writing I had to do to enter. links are marvelous things, Ervina. And I look forward to reading the writing you submitted to this weblog.(: )

Eloquent, aeeye?
Mr. Zachary,
ReplyDeletePlease do help me to decipher this sentence, as quoted from your comment.
"However, in the event that upon experiencing such a magnificent establishment as a bookstore of this caliber, I am totally unenthused as to the opportunity to purchase literature in great quantity at so wonderful a store..."
You say you appreciate "great books written by brilliant authors." I suspect you to be a fraud. Can one who reads great books, himself be so confusing in his writing? I'm calling you out, Mr. Barkman! Explain yourself!
A very simple case of bad vocabulary, Mrs. Marylou.
ReplyDeleteAllow me to reiterate on that.
"However, IN THE EVENT that upon experiencing such a magnificent establishment as a bookstore of this caliber, if I become totally unenthused as to the opportunity to purchase literature in great quantity at so wonderful a store..."
In the event that I become totally unenthused, that is. If. A very highly unlikely event. As I assume I shall be enthused. Thank you.
