Snarf!

Well, it’s time to announce the lucky five winners of the uhh Snarf contest. I guess I didn’t name it so well. Here they are:
1. Goggles
2. Shogi
3. Shelly Wilkerson
4. Sam
5. Newt
Congrats to you and you’ll be getting your very own Snarf pencil gripper in the mail!
I also kind of went outside of the contest and decided to give reader Thundercat78 a Snarf. While I enjoyed all the comments, something really struck me about Thundercat78’s comment. Here it is:
“I am a HUGE ThunderCats fan and far and away my favorite ThunderCat is Cheetara. As a youngin’ I used to run circles around my house as fast I could while holding whatever pole or stick I could find to be my Cheetara staff. I would even try an imitate the brisk sound FX you hear on the cartoon when she runs! I loved the fact that I was blonde and had freckles because I felt maybe I would one day grow up to be a cheetah-like Thunderian myself. Instead, I just grew up to be a slightly nerdy, but agile and fit, gay man! I still love ThunderCats, and draw them all the time. (I’m an illustrator and I am sure the ThunderCats cartoon had a very large impact on me choosing this career path). I’d LOVE a mint Snarf pencil topper to adorn my pencil while I sketch more ThunderCats. Thanks for the great blog. HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!”
Great stuff. I just love the idea of this kid running around pretending to be Cheetara. What does this go to show you? Well, that in a contest where you leave a comment do your best because you never know if you might get something extra. I also think that we learned that I’m totally ball droppingly awesome.
And remember this contest was sponsored by Dinosaur Toy Vault! Where you can totally buy your own Snarf if you didn’t win! We’re also now featuring more G.I. Joes and hopefully in the future it will feature even more toys. Speaking of which, is there any toy you guys would like to see on there?

When I get my Snarf I’ll review it. Then people will see how awesome it is, buy millions and make you a superstar. Or something to the similar effect.
Thanks for the cool contest.

I should be a gracious loser and offer congratulations but I was stoked to win a Snarf so I’m just going to kill a chicken and curse them with boils.
And, yes, ‘kill a chicken’ is an euphemism.
