Yup, that's the one. I think I did win a more 'updated' one a few years back but I lost it. My gray vintage GD t-shirt is still in mint condition and goin' strong since I pretty much only wear it a few times a year. :)

I got mine! Along with a few extra goodies. Thanx, Brad! How'd ya know I needed a new pen and highlighter? I was a lil' afraid the large size would be too big but it turns out it'll be just right. Goes great with my GottaDeal t-shirt from back in '06 (it's a collector's item by now). And yes, it is sad that gettin' a t-shirt in the mail causes us to jump for joy and make a fool outta ourselves in front of our neighbors. But hey, that's what makes bein' a GottaDeal-a-holic all the rave!

Me also.

Why does my mailperson have to come so late? The anxiety of what could be in my mailbox is killin' me!

Soo ... can those of us who bought one still enter a contest to get ANOTHER t-shirt? Just askin'.

Ya don't HAVE to have existing money in your PayPal account. Ya can place your order and have the money deducted directly from either a credit/debit card or from your checking account. If you're worried about internet security just delete the account info from your PayPal account once your payment has been confirmed. And looks like you'll get $1.18 off when ya order one! Talk about a deal! And just FYI: I have a prepaid visa card attached to my PayPal account. I can reload the card with moolah and have PayPal take money out of it for my internet purchases. I consider this tactic safer because the prepaid card's empty until I load it.

+1 Just couldn't wait for the next contest.

Um, better count those syllables again. I'll admit this one was a toughie for some of us. Congrats to all the winners once again!

Hope ya have call waiting on your PM account, Brad. I can just imagine the flash flood of PMs headed your way. I assume it's THIS one? http://www.olsonnet.com/images/bffront.jpghttp://www.olsonnet.com/images/bfback.jpg

Congrats to all the winners! And I leave this contest with ... So many people All these people win t-shirts everyone ... but me!

I think some folks just lost count of their syllables. Some aren't even counting. They need to go back and read the first post, then re-post with a proper haiku before ya get disqualified.

All these people post Hoping to get a t-shirt My chances get small!

Thinking about lines Crashing carts and chasing gifts Glad I shopped online!

Congrats to all the big winners! Good to see the first ad has arrived, even if it's not anywhere near the one I predicted. Well, on to the next contest. Good thing I'm not obsessed with gettin' a t-shirt or this could be depressing. Wait ... am I obsessed?

Let's go Ace Hardware on 10/11/10! Don't let me down! Daddy needs a new set of GD merchandise!

Congrats to all the winners! :) And off to the next contest for the rest of us.

Well, at least I've got about a 1 in 120 shot of getttin' a t-shirt.

I would've thought some of the major chains would (Best Buy, Walmart) but it looks like they don't ever ship overseas. Maybe it depends on what stores we have over here that ya may have over there.

I'll be lookin' for a 14-15" full size mid-range laptop for myself. Hopefully I'll find it online to avoid the BF camp out.

That was gonna be my question.

See if ya have a store in your area called Cartridge World . They recycle/refill old printer cartridges and re-sell 'em. I always get my ink carts from there as they're about half the price. And they give ya a discount if ya turn in your old ones.

See? Doesn't it feel good? If there's any other charts someone wants to see this year, speak up. I know I'll forget a few things if ya don't.

Tablets/eReaders/iPads added to the list. I have a feelin' they're gonna be very popular this year, so we better put 'em on there.

It's 59 days, 8 hours, and 47 minutes. Can ya hear it?! Tick Tock! Tick Tock! ...

Thanks for the heads up, Brad. And for the heart attack! I seriously thought I'd done somethin' wrong when I had about a hundred less posts than I did the other day. G'luck with the server move tomorrow!
