I won something! But I don't remember why!
Clockwork \| 4:18 PM on 01.10.2009	20 comments

Well, in the mail yesterday I got this here Baseball bat. The thing special about it is that it's a GTA IV baseball
bat...it's pretty cool. The worst part is I don't know what contest I won it from. I vaguely remember entering one,
but don't bother asking for what, or even what the top prize was. Apparently, it was the "Microsoft Xbox Live
GTA IV Official Sweepstakes" according to the letter it came with. Nope, still doesn't ring a bell. Here's some
pics.

Cool huh? Can anyone remind me what I did to get this?

Anyone also know how to eliminate that weird spacing issue you get with Safari on a Mac OS?

Someone else won that and posted a blog awhile back. Like a couple of days. And you cant get rid of it, what i just do is use firefox. Firefox doesnt mess it up.

Apparently it's a 2nd place prize for some contest. 2000 given away.

Was that the one where you downloaded a gamerpic and played GTA IV online during a certain weekend? I wanted the tiny Statue of Happiness myself.

@Mxyzptlk

Uh. It very well could be, but I doubt it. I'm looking at Iron Dragon's link that he posted, and I'm dumbfounded that I entered this contest. It was 10 months ago, apparently. Although I see I would enter a contest such as this as 100 people walked away with an Xbox 360 Elite. 2nd place ain't half bad for someone who forgot they were in the contest in the first place!

Wait. What? I do?

What the fuck? That was supposed to be a Photobucket link, I swear. I'm past whoring my blog.

Let me try again:

You know what to do.

so is it me or does the 2nd to last pic have the bat a bit crooked by the handle?

Clock are you already clockin people with it or did Rockstar use yours before sendin it?

Clockwork says:

I still haven't taken the plastic wrapping off the bat. I don't think I will in case I sell it in 80 years.

You won because you've got the most awesome banner on Dtoid.
Alexander DeLarge approves by giving you a matching avatar.

That very well may turn into my avatar in the future.
