Newfie's 1000 Post Contest

**Newfie** · 01-29-2007, 10:02 AM

OK, a contest is in order. Rules are:

You MUST have 100 posts of reasonable quality to qualify. I am the sole judge of this, and will disqualify asshats.
You get one post, and one post only of guesses, and an "Edit" tag will be considered a disqualification.
The contest will end 12:01 AM Friday, February 09th. Any posts with a date/time stamp (on THIS board) after that will not qualify.
ALL the answers can be found on this board somewhere, except for the tie breaker, I don't know the answer to that one yet.. A judge won't be required as if anyone questions anything, I can provide a link to the post.

The prize package will be a fine collection of cigars out of my humidors. There will be no dog rockets in this package, they will all be cigars I enjoy smoking.

Now, the questions:

What date did I buy my first humidor?
What cigar did I do my first review on?
What was my Avtar before today? (Don't look now, it's already changed.)
I had an issue with a cigar at the golf course. What was the issue, and what brand was the cigar?
How much is an Xikar Xi3 Cutter at a B&M on the corner on Crescent & Ste Catherines in Montreal (at the time of the post)?
Who did I herf with in Washington DC?
Who did I herf with in Buffalo?
I've been married how long?
What date is our anniversary?
I had a humi custom made, where did the wood come from?
What's my daughter's name?
We rescued a dog about 2-1/2 years ago. What breed is she?
TIEBREAKER - How much will I weigh on my Weight Watchers weigh-in the week the contest closes? (I will scan my card and post it if the tiebreaker comes into play.)

So, we have questions numbering to the lucky # 13. Like I said, ALL questions are answered here amongst my 1000 posts. Let's see who has the most time on their hands to search.

Let the guessing begin!! Trust me, the prize will be worth it.

Got all of 'em except the Xikar question while I was at work. It was a slow night. Plus it kept me off of cbid and other devil sites.

**Newfie** · 02-01-2007, 11:27 AM

Guys, you going to let WOXOF have this just because he got some right??

Nice guesses so far guys. I won't say who's in the lead, but come on people, there's just over a day and a half left in the contest and only 2 participants so far.

LMAO, I know who's not in the lead.

In my defense, if you call Vasco, the price has gone up.

**Newfie** · 02-08-2007, 08:51 AM

I won't say who's in the lead right now as there are still ~ 15 hours left in the contest, so I need the 3 guys who have guessed so far to PM me their addresses so I can get the package off tomorrow. Otherwise, it'll have to wait 'till next weekend as I'll be in Montreal this weekend. I'm NOT shipping this package from Canada.

Also, to anyone else who guesses, please PM me your addy as well for the same reason.

**Newfie** · 02-09-2007, 06:34 AM

Is FunkyCold5, with all questions right (as did Hefty) but was closer on the weight. Chris, the answer to the Xikar question IS $125. It may be $150 now, but it was at the time of the "Cigar Prices in Montreal" post. However, I am quite impressed that you know the name of the store. Was that another successful search, or do you actually know of the shop?

OK, back on track, so it comes down to the tie-breaker between Funky and Hefty. Hefty guessed 219 lbs and Funky guessed 224. My actual weight standing in my underwear (as of 45 minutes ago) was 226 lbs. Now, I'm weighing in tomorrow in Montreal and will get my card stamped. I'll scan it and post it here on Tuesday when I get back (actual W/W weight will probably be in the vicinity of 228 or 229 as I weigh in fully dressed, jeans, belt, etc).

So, congratulations to Andrew, and a package should be winging it's way to you today via USPS Priority Post. I don't know the DC # as I ran out of tags home so I'll have to get some at the P/O. I won't be having access to a computer this weekend so you'll have the package before I could post the DC # anyway.

Thanks to all for participating, and Andrew, hope you enjoy the package.

Have a great weekend all.

Jim

**slcraiders** · 02-09-2007, 11:46 AM

Nice contest, Jim! Congrats on 1000 posts.

**heftysmokes** · 02-09-2007, 12:02 PM

Damn, Newf, are you saying you can't drop another 10 lbs before tomorrow??

Great contest, Newfie, congrats on the weight loss and the 1000 post milestone as well!

**FunkyCold5** · 02-09-2007, 12:12 PM

Woo HOO!!!! Thanks Newfie. Congratulations on your weight-loss. I kinda figured as you get closing to your desired weight, it'll be harder and harder to lose the pounds. So I factored in the percentage lost last time and reduced it.

Thanks again! I'll be in WV skiing at Canaan Valley, so I can't wait to go home and see a nice package waiting for me.

Just did a little searching. I've never been there.

Congrats FC5 on the win and Newfie on the continued weight loss!

**FunkyCold5** · 02-13-2007, 02:27 PM

WHOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JIM, thanks for the prize! Knocked out practically all of my wish list in my profile! I'm especially drueling over the Anejo and Opus X!

I don't consider any of these yard-gars man! You smoke some good shiz-niz! Congratulations again, and thanks for the package!

Andrew

**Newfie** · 02-13-2007, 02:44 PM

Glad you enjoyed the selection pal!!

My apologies for the packaging though. Hope they were all in good shape. The P/O was out of anything else smaller than a breadbox and I didn't have any packing peanuts or bubble wrap.
