Cigar Geeks

Curmudgeon Crew Contest

The Curmudgeon Crew may not agree on much but the one thing we are unified on is supporting our troops.  To that end the Crew has banded together and started a contest in support of Nate’s 2015 Cigars for Troops campaign. 

 So listen up I am going to only explain this once.  Everyone who contributes cigars to the drive will not only get the hallowed Troops Supporter badge but a chance to win a box of Island Jims No. 2 cigars.  For each cigar submitted you will get one entry.  What, you have a question already?  Yes, that is right, one cigar is one entry, for five cigars you get five entries.  Did your mom drop you when you were young?

  Nate will keep the Crew updated as to everyone’s contribution.  We will build a spreadsheet with a random number assigned to each cigar contribution.   Before the drawing, the final spreadsheet will be published, and then a dated screen shot of the winning number.  That is if you don’t piss us off and just keep it all secret.

  It is time to get off your arse’ and contribute to this worthy cause.  Don’t make us come over there!

  Now, get off my lawn
Curmudgeon Crew

 We have a one time exemption from the Father of the Crew!

I'd like to thank Bruce for the contest.

Can I have my brown nose badge now :biggrin:

QuoteBrlesq - 8/26/2015  7:37 PM  Jeez!  Chuck announces the contest and now he gets all the thanks?  It's the ENTIRE Curmudgeon Crew donating this . . . can't you guys read?  He is just our spokesman on this. (Well, and he thought of it too, but that's beside the point!)  The next guy that thanks Chuck is disqualified!   :angry:  

It pains me to say this but, Bruce "is correct".  Is there ever a good time to tell a lawyer he is right?
This is a Curmudgeon Crew effort.  Everyone contributed equally to this contest,

How long will you be collecting for this?

Quotenirab - 10/8/2015  4:18 PM  I gave Nate 19 cigars at the CP event for this...do those count?  :confused:

 SO long as Nate is aware of it (an I guess he is now) and turns in the count

QuoteBrlesq - 10/10/2015  9:15 AM

Thanks to those that have contributed to the Cigars For Troops campaign so far.

As for the rest of you, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!?  You don't like a chance to win a box of fine cigars??  :confused:

Maybe you need instructions, you damned millennial hipster?  OK, I'm here to help:   Walk over to your humidor, pick out some cigars that you think a serviceman might enjoy while HE DEFENDS YOUR RIGHT to drive your f*cking Prius to Whole Foods to buy beard oil, gluten-free crap and craft beer![/i]   :angry:  

Then get your as$ to the post office and mail them to Nathan.
Simple, huh?

I didn't say "hippie", I said "hipster".  Nirab is a hippie.

And I thought you drank grappa and water . . .  :martini:

Thanks Nate
Here is what I am planning, I will build and post a Google Spreadsheet with all the qualified individual entries (those Curmudgeons who contributed to the final prize are not eligible).  People can review and let me know if something is wrong. I will assign random numbers and then get another Curmudgeon Crew member, Brad I am looking at you!, to do the random number generator drawing.

:angry: So I not only contributed to the Cigars for Troops, I contributed to the final prize so you could deem me ineligible in the drawing :confused:

Somebody get the hose, we have a sandy vajayjay in aisle 5!

 Column A on the sheet is a random number generated strictly for sorting the names.  Once the names are randomly sorted I will add the entry numbers in the last column.  I will then get a Geek who is not part of the drawing to run a random number generator to select the winning entry. Before the winning number is generated I will post the random sorted list. We will draw the winning number on Saturday to allow any questions of comments.

Shouldn't there have been 1619 entries before these folks you are adding for prize gifts? :confused:

Oh yeah,,,,   and remove me from the spreadsheet please~! Let some newb have a better chance at winning~!!!

 Brad, once I add those missing names we should reach the prescribed 1619 entries.  With respect to your request, if OK with you, I am not removing anyone.  If you win, you can decide what you would like to do with it, bomb, secret Santa gift, Toys for Tots donation, etc...

 PM me if you like to discuss further
