Win A LocoRoco Piñata!

The one on the left is named Colombo Magneus Julius Picardian III. The one on the right is Steve. That is my hand and nose.

Remember how Jeremy Pencil and I made LocoRoco piñatas a few weeks ago? Well, we made two yellow blobs of joy and neither got smashed to pieces because we both grew too attached to them. (I was referring to the LocoRoco, btw, not my fat cousins. Although they, too, are yellow blobs of joy.)

Realising that this is an unhealthy attachment, we have both decided to give my piñata — Colombo Magneus Julius Picardian III — away.  Mr. Pencil will be hanging onto his own piñata because he has major dependency issues, but I’d like to see little Colombo go to a nice home where he will be hung from a broomstick for a few hours before getting the shit smacked out of him by a bunch of rowdy,  festive folk.

Right, so onto the point of this post. Pencil and I are running a competition, and the best entry will win Colombo. It doesn’t matter where you live in the world — if you have a postal service in your area and your country isn’t run by communists (sorry, Vietnam), you are eligible to enter and, if you win, we will wrap Colombo up in bubblewrap, carefully place him in a box, and ship him to your humble abode.

Here’s the competition:

Comment on Mr. Pencil’s competition blog entry with your suggestion on what kind of gaming-related piñata we should make next.

The reason why I direct you over to Terminal Atrocity is because Mr. Pencil spends all his time sitting at his desk waiting for people to give him love via comments, which means he checks them more frequently than I do.

If you want to see what’s IN Colombo, read on.

David Jones sure knows how to rip people off!

Colombo is filled with the gourmet chocolates that Mr. Pencil holds in his hands. There are baby bees, lady bugs, and some tree frogs.

We figured no one would notice the amount of sweets we bought if we also bought some curry paste and pita bread.

Most of Colombo is filled with the assortment of candy to the left of the office paper.

Mr. Miaowgi is unimpressed.

Mr. Miaowgi doesn’t come with the piñata, but he was in the pet shop window of the shopping centre where we bought our sweets.

That’s about it, really. We may have also thrown in some parachute soldiers, but I wouldn’t be able to tell you what colour they are because I don’t pay attention to those kinds of things. So if you want to have a shot at winning Colombo Magneus Julius Picardian III — the piñata of my heart — then enter the competition! There are some terms and conditions that you should probably read before entering. DO IT!

Ts&Cs

1. Only one entry is permitted per person. If you are a conjoined twin, you only count as one person because, really now, there’s only one body that’s gonna be whacking the piñata, regardless of how many pairs of arms you have, and we’re all about body-count over here. 2. Due to comments being moderated with greater regularity on Jeremy Pencil’s blog, you *should* be able to see what entries have come before yours. As such, if we like an entry, we will make the person who suggested it first win. So if someone has suggested your idea before you have had a chance to, let that be a lesson to be faster next time, or just come up with something better. Clearly we haven’t thought this through very well, but you will just need to learn to deal. 3. You are not eligible to enter if you have ever had dinner with either myself or Jeremy Pencil.  4. If the piñata is damaged or destroyed while in transit, Pencil and I will take no responsibility for it and you will just have to suck it down and deal with it. 5. Competition closes 19 May 2009 at midnight, Australian EST time (or whatever). We will arrive at a decision on the 20th May 2009, and a winner will be announced on the 21st May 2009 . 6. Judge’s decisions are final and no correspondence will be entered into. If you’re unhappy with our decision, QQ.
