Great Gargoyle Giveaway

Motivation

Gargoyles have been used for centuries to ward off evil. I’ve decided to live on the edge by giving away the gargoyles that have been guarding my living room for the past eight years.

The Rules

I’ll be giving away one gargoyle each week for the next three weeks. Just leave a comment (22 words or more) telling the world why you deserve one. BradBrown.com will pick a random entry on June 1st. That winner will get to pick from the three gargoyles shown above. I’ll pick a random entry on June 8th. That second winner will get to pick from the remaining two gargoyles. I’ll pick a final winner on June 15th. The last winner will get the remaining gargoyle. I’ll make up any missing rules as the contest progresses. It doesn’t get any easier than this. Millions will enter; three will win.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why is the photo so washed out?
     
    It’s not washed out. What you’re seeing are the forces of evil surrounding the gargoyles. Ideally, you’d want to place one gargoyle in each of the four corners of a room. However, when you line them up, you decrease their evil fighting potential, and the forces of darkness manifest themselves via light.

    •  

  • You’re giving away three gargoyles, yet you recommend one for each corner of the room. What happened to your fourth gargoyle?
     
    He scared my girlfriend, so she put him in a box. Then she accidentally gave the box to our friends at Goodwill.

    •  

  • Is the gargoyle on the left wearing an ascot like Fred from Scooby Doo?
     
    It’s actually a ribbon of some sort. He’s still pretty masculine though.

    •  

  • What are the gargoyles made of?
     
    The large one on the left is made of some mystery plaster of Paris substance. The middle one is made of concrete. The one on the far right is made of a smoother, concrete substance. In other words, I have no idea.

    •  

  • Where do these gargoyles come from?
     
    They were purchased in Asheville, North Carolina. I suspect they were forged in the heavens.

    •  

  • Your prizes always suck. What’s up with that?

    I would have to say that I am one of the few that can tame the beast with the gargoyle. If entrusted in this statue I will make sure that I protect the gargoyles from all that think they are evil and should be destroyed (or in some cases controlled to do the evil bidding). With that said, I rest my case.

    This is a comment–I want to spend a little time on my entry!

    Did you know if you click on the image of the gargoyles for a scarier image–and then click on the picture–it goes back and forth from larger to slightly smaller, giving an animated effect! Spooky!

    Dear, dear Bradley,

    I need a gargoyle for my teenage daughter who is in love with gargoyles and Johnny Depp. I have tried to get Johnny Depp to come for a visit to surprise her, because then I would score serious points with her which I could cash in for years to come. Anyway, Johnny Depp won’t answer my emails so I think if I gave her a gargoyle I would still get enough points to get her to keep her room clean once or twice a year and to actually wash the dishes instead of just rinsing them and leaving them all crusty in the dish drainer.

    Thank you.

    @XUP - It could be worse. Your daughter could love Godzilla and Richard Grieco (Depp’s co-star in “21 Jump Street” back when dinosaurs roamed the land).

    @XUP - Congratulations, you’re the winner of a gargoyle. Let me know which one you want, give me your mailing address (send me an email via my contact page), and I’ll UPS him to you mid-week. I’d recommend the cute one on the right, or the middle one. For pure shock value, the large one on the left would be a great choice.

    @Danny - You are the second winner. Pick either the gargoyle on the right or the left, email me your mailing address, and I’ll send it to you. I’d recommend the small one on the right, if you’re looking for something semi-classy.

    @Pat Woodman - Congratulations, you’re the winner of the giant gargoyle. Give me your mailing address (send me an email via my contact page), and I’ll UPS him to you.

    Oh, the GIANT one! I believe size matters.

    May I pay for overnight postage to ensure that he arrives before my next Mensa meeting?

    This must be my lucky weekend. I won $3 in the lottery last night!

    Any more contests this summer?

    I DO believe that gargoyle has brought me luck. Every week since Gian (pronounced Gee-ahn)arrived, I have won a slightly larger cash prize from the lottery than the week before. If this continues, I should be able to quit my second job in about six months.
    When will you announce your next contest?
