Following the tradition of this and this, I decided to do something fun like that again, except this time I made some changes.
Now instead of a postcard, one lucky winner will go home with this super generic black coffee mug.

As seen here: super lame boring coffee mug

But how generic it is exactly? Well, pretty generic if you're gonna use it for cold beverage, however things get far more interesting once you add some coffee to the formula or hot chocolate or just me standing next to it - so pretty much anything that's considered hot.

And now: ultra cool white custom SG logo coffee mug

That's right, you are now a proud owner of one-of-a-kind, custom made, non generic Steamgifts coffee mug. Except you have to win it first.
The rules are simple, just leave any coherent comment in this thread, could be a simple "thanks" or "count me in" or you could tell me a story about that time you met a cute foreign girl on Barcelona beach called Iris and you had a really wonderful time together and she gave you a phone number before leaving but then you went for one last swim and completely forgot about that number in back of your swim shorts and the water washed away the ink so the number was lost for good. It's been 10 years since then, every now and then before bedtime you think about her, asking yourself if she was the one. Maybe, just maybe things would be different if you left that number on a towel or somewhere before heading out to the waters. But now you will never know......so yeah, as I said, a simple "thanks" or anything else should suffice.

Few things to point out though:

  • Do not enter if you are not ok with providing me your REAL LIFE address if you win cause that's the only way I can send you the mug. You are still free to comment just be sure to point out in bold letters somewhere that you are not entering.
  • Obviously, I will pay for the shipping and all expenses, you will only need to pick it up once it arrives at your doorstep. Everyone in the whole world are eligible to enter (yes even you Trinidad & Tobago) so no worries there.
  • Aside from the mug you will also receive a very rare, two-of-a-kind xarabas autograph. I say two of a kind cause there is already one on eBay going for a ridiculously high price, as seen in this completely legit picture here
  • And lastly, aside from the coffee mug and my autograph, you will also receive a random wishlist game from me once the mug arrives. To be eligible for that, yo must not add any item to your wishlist starting today, only the games before July 30 will count. Or you could, but I won't take those in count anyway.

The giveaway will remain open till Sunday next week (August 8) and it is starting riiiiiiiiiiiight about..... NOW!

EDIT 1: Since few people asked me about this, yes it is a thermal mug that changes color with temperature - black/cold > white/hot. These are not two pictures of different mugs (as some actually assumed so).

10 years ago did mobiles even have cameras? Ok, he could have written it as an sms but then he would probably would have had his phone stolen. And the thief found the number, rang her up and met her, changed his life and lived happily ever after with her. But that, as they say, is another story ...

Iris was a ho. I found so many washed out phone numbers floating in the water that day. I only look back with regret for ever being fooled into believing we had something special.

Not entering, just sharing what a slut-faced ho-bag Iris really is.

So, I was playing on the playground in 1st grade many years ago, when I saw the hottest babe in existence at the top of the slide. She was the finest damsel-not-in-distress that I'd ever seen, and I knew that she had to be mine. I gradually drove off my shyness and eventually one day mustered up the courage to approach her. I nervously shuffled my feet in her general direction and managed to finally get within 10 feet of her after a few minutes. I faintly called out to her, saying, "H-h-h-h-h-hi my n-n-n-n-name is uhhh......P-p-p-p-pixel." Her response was, "B-b-baka".

Now we've been happily married for 10 years. Happy anniversary, Xara.

your mistake was that you should have used the hitchhikers towel to write down the number, it's waterproff - and bullet proff ;)
