MC Shoemoney (the master of contests) has launched another one:
Go here to guess the amount of spams his blog shoemoney.com is going to get hit with in the next few days. To me, this looks like kind of a karmic act of contrition to even out the score after the awesome Shoot Shoemoney Spam out of a Fucking Cannon (the S3 FC) contest a few months ago.
I still think that one was a good contest idea. It’s just a little spam for fuck’s sake. If you can’t figure out how to ban shoemoney.com links in your comments after the first hundred or so then your blog probably looks like shit anyway. And this is coming from a guy with white text on a black background and side navigation that doesn’t even fit in the purple strip over there. I don’t even want to know what it looks like in IE.
In team Webguerrilla fashion, I’m going to hop onto this contest by holding one of my own. The person who guesses the number closest to the final number of guesses that Shoemoney gets for his Guess The Spam Contest (ends sept 9th at 11:59 PM), wins Dax’s Guess the Number of Guesses in Shoemoney’s Contest Contest and will receive this key I found on the ground outside of Ralph’s a few days ago.
Does the discarded key open a treasure chest? Maybe it opens a secret lair of cool spy shit! Or maybe it unlocks a donkey stable. Find out with your guess!

Your link underline does not show for me in i.e. Just a tip from an expert programmer
What about an alternative prize for those outside the good ol US of A ?
Much as as the thought of a treasure hunt with a mysterious key enthralls me I feel I can just about resist due to:
Getting a train to London
Queueing at Heathrow for 3 days
Having my fingerprints taken and Iris scanned for FBI records
Being given a full body cavity search
Then getting crushed on a Greyhound bus by fat people in Hawaiian shirts etc etc

For God’s sake Dax, don’t look at BigNutts in IE.
I just did, it’s not pretty…
and I thought it was just my blog that looked really pants
in IE.

30 SEOsnafu // Sep 9, 2006 at 12:22 pm
600 !
31 /pd // Sep 10, 2006 at 8:48 am
who the heck won ??
32 Cygnus // Sep 12, 2006 at 11:43 am
It looks like 217 was the number, so it looks like “/pd” was the closest.
Will he/she claim the prize, or will a league of cardboard sword weilding pirates ransake the key in order to try and win DaveN’s contest?
The world may never know.

Sorry Cygnus. The correct number of Guesses was 189. The write up’s over here: http://homeroom.biggnuts.com/contest-winner/
34 The 15 dollar project blog // Sep 26, 2006 at 9:40 am
Who guessed the number?…
Who guessed the number in Shoemoney’s contest?
Who guessed the numeber in the Dax’s contest?
Uhm… Who cares, though..?
