Prize = autographed LWG booklet & FR promo tape Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Sender: owner-mad-mission-news@smoe.org Precedence: bulk Hi folks:-) In mid-to-late November I received a bunch of older promotional items from Patty's management, some of it is music, some of it is printed material. All of it has to deal with Living With Ghosts and Flaming Red. Oooops...no, I take that back. There's some of those Silver Bell postcards too. Anyway, I plan on giving it all away in various contests on Mad-Mission, Mad-Mission-Digest and Mad-Mission-News, and the first contest gets launched tonight. There are nine First Prizes in this initial contest. Nine winners each will get identical prizes (2 items). The prizes are: 1) An autographed booklet from the Living With Ghosts CD. This is the same booklet that comes with the CD when you buy it, except of course, it's signed by Patty, bless her heart. (I had these almost 2 weeks before I realized they were autographed.....I actually wondered why they had sent them.....I can be a dumb Greek sometimes :-) 2) A Flaming Red promotional cassette tape. Both sides of the tape are identical, and they have the following track listing: Patty Griffin: Selections From Flaming Red 1. Intro (0:19) 2. Flaming Red - snippet (0:51) 3. Patty discusses why she writes and sings (0:46) 4. One Big Love - snippet (0:48) 5. Change - snippet (0:56) 6. Patty discusses Christina (0:37) 7. Christina - snippet (1:10) 8. Patty discusses what music she is into (0:44) 9. Wiggley Fingers - full LP version (4:06) 10. What Patty hears when she listens to this record (0:59) If you wish, you can view these items at: http://www.quackquack.net/pattyg/pattypromocontest01.htm To win a set of these items, you will have to be one of the first nine people to reply to me with the correct answer to a question per the requirements below (MAKE SURE you read the requirements below BEFORE sending a reply). ********************* THE QUESTION: ********************* Which of the following eight words/terms do not belong in this grouping and why? opaque nor'easter degree high turbulence muggy absolute storm Sorry, I couldn't think of an adequate Patty related question. Of course there might be more than one "correct" answer, but you have to hit upon the one I have in mind. You can reply with as many different guesses as you wish. In the event I don't get nine correct replies, I'll re-post in a few days with a clue. ********************* REQUIREMENTS: ********************* When you reply, send the reply to ME and not to the list. Replies sent to the list will not be considered, not to mention you might give everyone else the answer. (DIGEST subscribers, be careful...you'll have to either "cut and paste" my email address or type it out. Just clicking "reply" will direct that reply to the list, not me) You must reply to me via an email presently subscribed to this list. So that your reply will stand out in my mailbox and make it easier for me to spot, I prefer you either reply to the message with the same subject (i.e. Re: Patty stuff contest! Prize = etc) , or create a new subject that just says: Patty Contest with, of course, your answer to the question (do not forget to say WHY the word you pick does not belong) *********************** WHO IS ELIGIBLE? *********************** Everyone who is presently subscribed to either Mad-Mission, Mad-Mission-Digest or Mad-Mission-News and lives in the universe is eligible. (You do not have to live in the USA or Canada, you can live anywhere....even in prison....even in Iraq....even in New Jersey) Please, no angry letters from Jerseyites...I was just kiddin' :-) Only one wining entry per household. That's about it. So, if you think you know the answer and you want the prizes mentioned above, give it a whirl and reply with an answer and why you think it's the right answer.

Clue #1 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Sender: owner-mad-mission-news@smoe.org Precedence: bulk Hi y'all :-) Well...about 88 guesses thus far, only one right. His prizes will be in the mail tomorrow. This clue will not GIVE it away, but it will put you on the right track I would think. ******* CLUE: the answer has nothing to do with the meaning/definition of any of the words. ******* I know, I'm a sneaky little rat. Rather than repeat the whole contest, my original post from last night is below. Take the clue, re-read the contest stuff below, and try again :-) One thing to think about....I had 88 replies thus far, and one correct answer. Taking the clue into consideration, still the most obvious guesses have been sent in already. Give this some thought. Oh yeah, one request though. If you hit reply and quote some of the text from my email, please edit out all that is not needed, it will make it easier to reply using a form-reply as I did to the 80+ people earlier today.

None the less, here it is (for the 100 or so of you that did not get it correct). The question was: >Which one of the following eight words/terms do not belong in this grouping and >why? > >opaque nor'easter degree high >turbulence muggy absolute storm ....and the answer is "muggy", as it is the only word of the eight that does not BEGIN with two consecutive letters of the alphabet (English alphabet). OPaque NOr'easter DEgree HIgh TUrbulence muggy ABsolute STorm The nine winners who guessed it correctly will have their prizes mailed out on Monday. I did have two people send in correct answers a couple of hours after winner #9 came in. I will be sending them a copy of the Flaming Red promo tape as a consolation prize. The same goes for the two of you who correctly guessed "muggy", but had the reason _slightly_ off (they had said it was the only word that did not have two consecutive letters in it, while pointing out the ST in "nor'easter" and the GH in high. They were right of course, but it was not the answer that I was looking for. Close enough for a consolation prize though). The funniest answer? While three or four eventually alluded to the same topic with guesses, Evil Gary sent a response in early guessing that the answer was "absolute", as it was the only one of the eight that is the name of a vodka. It certainly caught me off guard and I had a good laugh....I was not expecting comical answers....not to mention what Gary said was somewhat true (even though the vodka is spelled "Absolut"). Of course, many of you sent in other answers that were indeed true, they just were not the one I was looking for. As I said in my posts for the contests, I will be having more contests with some Patty Griffin promotional items as prizes. The next one will be in about two weeks. Mike :-) P.S. I won't be publicizing the names nor email addresses of the winners, as many people do lurk on mailing lists or just want their privacy, plus I never sought permission to post that information. * The Patty Griffin/Mad-Mission@smoe List Homepage is at: * http://www.quackquack.net/pattyg * * Rachel Martin's Patty Griffin Lyrics Archive is at * http://www.geocities.com/Wellesley/3079/patty.html * * Jerry Zigmont's Flaming Red - A Patty Griffin Website is at * http://members.tripod.com/PattyGriffin * * Katie Peterson's Patty Griffin Guitar Tabs Archive is at * http://members.tripod.com/~Lifey/patty.html * * DuckOfPrey or WhyADuck55 on AOL and/or AOL Instant Messenger
