Brad Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 With less than a month until Black Friday (and time running out quickly), I've got to start giving away more of these t-shirts so we're going to have a fun contest for this weekend. There are 2 ways to win: 1. Carve a pumpkin with some kind of GottaDeal and/or Black Friday theme. Post a picture of the pumpkin in this thread. Must be an actual pumpkin, not computer generated or using any other kind of cheating! The first 10 (now 15) people to complete this task (who haven't already won a t-shirt) will each win a Black Friday t-shirt! So if you haven't won a shirt and really want one, hurry up and get a pumpkin and get carving! 2. To go with the Halloween theme, reply to this thread with the answer to this question: if you had to wear a costume while you went shopping on Black Friday, which costume would you choose, and why? Consider weather conditions, crowds, etc... Be funny and creative! I'll accept entries until Sunday night at 10pm ET for both parts and at that point I'll randomly select 10 more winners who will each receive a Black Friday t-shirt. So there you go, 25 t-shirts up for grabs, but only if you are either fast or lucky Good luck to everyone!
amberjobryant Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 ok we have already carved our pumpkins so i cannot do that one.........but if i had to choose a costume it would be military fatigues and combat gear........i always feel like i am on some special tactical mission and the war is defianlty on.
JennG Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 I would be a ninja with one of those black bags on my back! Watch out for the throwing stars!
Jen8112 Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 #2 - Hockey Uniform, for checking people that get in my way! lol Sorry, I'm watching the Bruins game right now. Haha.
sigrist_2000 Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 i would say i would be santa clause so that i can get first dibs and then give toys/items out for kids and adults alike , or even help get thier dreamk items or wants, etc
Mandy25 Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 If I dressed up for Halloween I think I would go as Lady Gaga in a meat dress to distract the other shoppers and then while they were staring at me in that garb my husband could rush in and get the black friday items we needed.
Boilerhoss Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 I would dress up as a police officer so I could make everyone stand back while I run through the doors getting all my deals and no one will even know! LOL
hack2222 Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 If i went in costume, it'd be a police officer's uniform so i could keep the crowds in line, and make my way to the front of the line. And make sure that I got in first and had a few handcuffs around in case needed to settle down the unruly customers. Also being able to assist the store personal keep it calm.
starbeck96 Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 I do not carve pumpkins, too messy..lol and don't have the time..lol But if I had to wear a costume for BF I think I would be the Grinch! Since the Grinch stole presents and I am stealing all the deals!!!
amdskip Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 I would dress up as a dutch man wearing my wooden shoes. Dutch people = cheap and I grew up in a dutch town.
mgreen Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 If I had to wear a costume I would dress up as a really pregnant woman. Maybe I could get some sympathy and the other shoppers would not push and shove me so much! If I pretended to go into labor, or to be having labor pains, the crowd might stand back so my water wouldn't break near them and I could sneak to the front to grab the doorbusters!!!
stephbrent Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 If I had to dress up in a costume on Black Friday, I would dress up as a store employee so that I could go through the store getting all the doorbusters, before everyone else.
lwildey Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 If I were to dress up for Black Friday I would dress up like Sonic the Hedgehog so I could beat everyone to all of the good deals at all of the stores and be done by 6:05 am.
BFAddict716 Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 (edited) Number 1- I am NOT artist at all but I tried haha!

Thanks!* Edited October 29, 2010 by noehlp Link was not working!
IDmom262 Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 I would dress up as pippy longstocking. I could use her unusual strength to carry my black friday goodies and I would use her best friend Mr. Nilsson (her pet monkey) to help grab things before other people in line.
noehlp Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 Btw, for those of you wanting to enter the Pumpkin Carving part of the contest (but have already carved yours), around where I live pumpkins go on sale usually Halloween day, I want to say they are usually $1 then. I'm REALLY looking forward to the carvings folks!

Thanks!* Gotcha covered, and removed your fb link. :) Gotta ask, I see BF, but what's the thing on the right side?
karalot Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 I would dress as a football player, complete with all of the necessary pads, to knock people out of my way LOL. Or maybe a ninja...I'd sneak by them all and grab the deals before anyone knew I was there!
jstluvem Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 I'd dress up as the EASY BUTTON......because a GOTTA-DEALER gets the deals SOOOOO easy
redraccoon Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 Let see.. considering weather and crowd conditions...I think I'd dress up as a little old man. I could wear as many layers and mismatched items as needed to keep warm... nobody would think it was odd.And nobody would suspect the sneaky speed with which I would beat them to the good deals! LOL
connieh Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 (edited) Well here you go! My best Gotta Deal logo interpretation! http://images5a.snapfish.com/232323232%7Ffp63394%3Enu%3D32%3A7%3E386%3E47%3B%3EWSNRCG%3D354%3B6%3A%3C69432%3Cnu0mrj Edited October 29, 2010 by connieh adding text

bigjimslade Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 I would dress up as Col. Harland Sanders. I think it would be funny.
Miss Star Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 I would dress up as a Zombie, it would be weather appropriate, it would throw everybody off, and no one expects a Zombie to move fast so they would be surprised when I took of running for the doorbusters!
nhughes Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 I'd dress up as a dollar bill...Then I can tell everybody I'm ''worth'' something haha
Chewbybell Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 I would dress up as a giant pink bunny. It would be nice and warm, and everyone would stop and stare because who expects to see a giant pink bunny on Black Friday, then I could just go in and get the deals while they all shook their heads and thought I was crazy.
totallyBF Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 I WOULD DRESS UP TO BE A CAT BECAUSE I'M THERE TO POUNCE ON THE DEALS AND SCRATCH SOMEONE IF THEY GET CLOSE TO MY DOOR-BUSTER.
