iPod Giveaway status report
Wednesday, August 30th, 2006Emmys, Schmemmys. What about the iPod?
No, we don’t have an iPod Giveaway winner yet.
I don’t even have my list of favorites done. I read entries all last night, and I feel like I’m only a fraction of the way through.
I think James is almost finished compiling his list, though. Normally I wouldn’t get so behind on a task like this, but James recently introduced me to 24, and I’ve been spending every possible moment catching up on old episodes. Starting from Season 1. As in, five seasons ago. Curse James and that irresistible Jack Bauer!
Nevertheless, I just wanted to pop in here and say, we have some damn funny people who hang out at OfficeTally and at Northern Attack. I’ve laughed out loud many times while reading the entries, and one thing has become clear: you guys are witty, inventive, and often times, twisted. It’s an honor to read you.
We will hopefully have a winner (or in Emmy speak, “award the iPod to …”) by the end of the long weekend. Take a chill pill ’til then …
HYP3R6IR1, never doubted it for a second. :)
Nick, now is the perfect time to get into 24 — the Season 6 premier doesn’t happen until January, and you’ll need plenty of time to catch up!
You noticed, J? ;)
GT, I think I would pick Michael. I’m a sucker for guys who know origami.

Hey, we just started watching 24, too! Some friends turned us on to Season 5, so we watched that first but didn’t know much of the back story. We just finished Season 1 and I just won Season 2 on eBay. I’ve got a lot of catching up to do. Looks like Jack Bauer and I aren’t gonna get much sleep…
18 | Brad Thu. Aug. 31, 2006 at 7:25amSo….who would you do…Jack, Jim or Michael (Prison Break)? A rhetorical question, really…just something I like to ponder before I go to sleep.
17 | gatbagethrower Thu. Aug. 31, 2006 at 7:20amI just watched the Office for the first time in two weeks. It was extremely gratifying. I needed to pick an episode to break in my new WIDESCREEN laptop, so i, of course, picked Casino Night. Yeah, but tonight I finally transfered every episode from my old laptop to my new one (and watched Rock Star: Supernova at the same time). But, watching it after 2 weeks of withdrawl was amazing. I still go nuts every time i hear Jim say “I’m in love with you.”
16 | J Thu. Aug. 31, 2006 at 12:00amNew webisode tomorow. Then 1 to go. Then Season 3!

P.S. Haha Jennie! Good call on retooling the OT’s description at the bottom of the page.
Wow, Kevin J. How’d you do on your exams?
15 | NSpector Wed. Aug. 30, 2006 at 11:48pmSay no more, Becky! — I’m only through Season 2 right now. ;)
14 | tanster Wed. Aug. 30, 2006 at 10:07pmI spent so much time on a few posts and then it always happened that right after I hit submit, I would find an error. I think my first post was 101 words and the next two had a spelling error. Getting it perfect is harder than you’d think! I just gave up after those couple. :(
Nick, I think I know the exact guy you’re talking about! In the season finale, I think it was the chopper pilot and Kiefer made him land at a… ooh, I just realized that might be spoilerish. Oh, well, point is, I think I know who you’re talking about. It’s hard to say though; I think he may go after a few pilots. :)
13 | Becky Wed. Aug. 30, 2006 at 10:05pmThis site kicks ass
12 | God Wed. Aug. 30, 2006 at 9:59pmUnfortunately I didn’t enter into all of the challenges. But the ones that I did I enjoyed writing them tremendously. Good luck deciding! There are lots of fantastic entries.
11 | Lacee Wed. Aug. 30, 2006 at 8:32pmBeware the 24 addiction! I watched 4 complete seasons of 24 in about a week…right around final exams. Hehe.
10 | Kevin J Wed. Aug. 30, 2006 at 8:22pmit’s pretty sobering isnt it. starting to watch 24 and finding out that these last few years while you were home asleep in your warm bed the world has nearly came to an end, like 4 or 5 times. i’ve sweated every last minute from the beginning and my nerves are shot. actually, i guess that last part’s more because of the contest, though.
9 | ferd farkel Wed. Aug. 30, 2006 at 8:20pmThanks for the update, Jennie! Take your time and have fun reading all of the great posts. We’re not going anywhere. :)
8 | Lori Wed. Aug. 30, 2006 at 6:40pmI don’t envy you guys the task of deciding. Happy reading!
7 | Brian Wed. Aug. 30, 2006 at 6:18pmI just started watching 24 (through Netflix) this summer too! I don’t know why it’s taken me this long to get with it, lol.
6 | Crystal Wed. Aug. 30, 2006 at 5:34pmI completely forgot, but now that you’ve reminded me, i’m excited to find out who the winner is! But i will wait for however long it takes! I’m sure it’s really hard to pick. I know that when i was entering my own posts, i was laughing at everyone else’s posts. There are definitely some fun Office Tally readers out there! Good luck w/ choosing!
Oh, and Jack Bauer/24 = awesome! I love 24 and i’m glad you’re a fan, too! Woot!
5 | OfficeAddict Wed. Aug. 30, 2006 at 4:02pmI didn’t enter in all of the iPod Giveaway entry things, but I should win anyway. :D
4 | Greg Peterson Wed. Aug. 30, 2006 at 3:30pmSOOO glad you have joined the “24″ bandwagon, Jennie! It is the best drama on tv and I have been hooked since Season 1!!
3 | Wendy Wed. Aug. 30, 2006 at 3:17pmLol… did you ever doubt that we weren’t funny and witty? ;)
2 | HYP3R6IR1 Wed. Aug. 30, 2006 at 12:16pmYa know, I was just wondering about this. Thanks for the update!
We’ll be patient ;)
