Eric Luper's Random Musings

Okay, we're T-minus several days until the shipping date of Big Slick and I wanted to have an exciting and fun contest before things get too kooky. As you know, I was sent my big box of books a few weeks back. Now that I've had my fun with them, I'd like to get a few copies into your hands (along with a few other supercool prizes).

Before we get to the contest, I'd like to stress that the winners will be getting one of the very books that appeared in my amazing tower of books. I can't guarantee which one, but as far as I'm concerned they are all important (I learned that at a team-building retreat I went to once).



There are two opportunities for big prizes in this contest, so keep reading!

The first contest is to write a caption for the following image:



Cute little buggers, arent they? I can just hear them chattering away now. Your caption can be funny, poignant, off-color, poker-related or not poker-related as long as it entertains the judges. But know that the judges like funny. Just think short and punchy, as if it's going to appear in a magazine. Winners will get a signed copy of Big Slick and a nifty set of poker chips, which at 11.5g or so per chip will not be cheap to ship! Email your caption to eric.luper@gmail.com with the subject heading "Big Slick Contest." You can enter as many times as you like but each entry should be in a separate email. Deadline for this portion of the contest is Thursday, September 20, 2007.

The other opportunity to win is for all of you bloggers, vloggers and podcasters out there. Mention my contest, post a pic of the tower of books along with it, and direct folks to my contest posting. Your name will go into a random drawing to win both a signed copy of Big Slick and a copy of the Ultimate Guide to Poker Tells: Devastate Opponents by Reading Body Language, Table Talk, Chip Moves, And Much More by Randy Burgess. Even if you're not a poker player, this book will teach you a ton about people. Just email me at eric.luper@gmail.com with a link to your announcement. If you've jumped through all the right hoops, you're in! Easy peasy! Deadline for this contest is Tuesday, September 18, 2007.
