I already have the contest question, I am just waiting for more people to see this thread before I post it.

[Boanerges]

Think positive! It really won't be easy, but it will be fair! :}

LMAO - I come to you for questions in PM's all the time that I'm sure are rather easy for you to answer and now your gonna give me one -lol. Chances are slim I'll get it but I'm gonna think POSITIVE. I got my game face on Ryan :D

[Talkenlate04]

I will post at 12pm pacific standard time, so just under an hour. :)

[olablane]

OH, Please make it something us dummies have a chance at getting right!! I have all the pokies except formosa and metallica. Really, really want to win this!!!

[Protectyaaaneck]

you have all the pokies? I'm sure theres a few sp you dont own other than the formosa and metallica.

[Atreyuhero4]

Lol if it was somthing us "dummies" could easily get you would then not only have to be able to figure it out you would have to be the first person to see it and then post the answer {D

[xhexdx]

I'll be watching.

[Talkenlate04]

It's not going to have anything to do with tarantulas or the hobby. It is really hard to make something fair but I think I did it this time.

[Endagr8]

Postpostpostpostpostpostpostpostpostpost T-14 minutes

[Atreyuhero4]

Haha hopfully I have a chance then :D

[Endagr8]

are you posting it in this thread?

[Talkenlate04]

are you posting it in this thread?

Yes that is correct.

[Talkenlate04]

If you can guess the specific name of the body of water I was in when I was promoted to Cpl / E-4 in the military OR the name of the ship I was on at the time, then the Formosa gal is yours. I will post when someone gets a correct answer. :cool:
You can guess more than once, but you only get once guess per hour. Good luck! If you somehow guess both in the same post (more likely to get hit by lightning lol) you will win the Formosa and a gbb sling when they are ready.

It is hard to be on a ship in water at Camp Pendleton! {D

[mafiamike]

That was too many guesses for jeepinwu2, so I'm stealing one of his:

Guantanamo Bay

Also, I'm pretty pissed that no one is home at your parent's house. I tried calling and they still haven't returned my voicemail.

LOL that would have been bad considering I have not talked to my parents for almost 3 years. :eek:

[FreedomJack]

so who won? End the suspense!!! lol

[mafiamike]

LOL that would have been bad considering I have not talked to my parents for almost 3 years. :eek:

Well, that was the best idea I could come up with.

I seriously left them a voice mail, so sorry if it's awkward the next time you talk to them.

[KenTheBugGuy]

It is hard to be on a ship in water at Camp Pendleton! {D

LOL...I had no clue where it was. I had just read that you were training near water and you said camp pendleton in the same sentence on another thread ;)

[Talkenlate04]

Well, that was the best idea I could come up with.

I seriously left them a voice mail, so sorry if it's awkward the next time you talk to them.

[olablane]

Thanks for the FUN Ryan

[mafiamike]

Frickin crap man, that is really my parents house. :wall:

[Talkenlate04]

I know. But I wasn't going to resort to uneducated guesses. :/

What would make you think my parents would have known? Lol. Oh well I guess I will have to make a "special" note in the next contest to avoid acts against common sense.

[Talkenlate04]

I'll do another one tomorrow for something if I have time. :p

[xhexdx]

Well if you do another one youre gonna have to text me so I know. I only happened to be checking in from work today when I had slow time.

[mafiamike]

What would make you think my parents would have known? Lol. Oh well I guess I will have to make a "special" note in the next contest to avoid acts against common sense.

You didn't tell me about your relationship with your parents before I called them, or else I wouldn't have tried. Now I know not to call your parents for contests dealing with your recent personal history. :D

[J.huff23]

I'll do another one tomorrow for something if I have time. :p

Seriously? Sweet Man. I knew there was no chance of me winning this one. Still woulda been cool to win the P.Formosa. Congrats to LadyPharoah!

[Boanerges]

Congrats LadyPharoah!!! And thanks Ryan for letting us all play :D

[ErinKelley]

Ladypharaoh, How did you find this? Was it just lucky guesses?

[Marbar]

That was fun.... to WATCH. Man, I didn't even get a guess in, I'll be back here more often.

[white_feather]

[LadyPharaoh]

OMG!!!! I work nights so I'm getting up for the day. First thought was. . . nevermind. . .SECOND thought was "who won the T"!!!

[Talkenlate04]

OMG!!!! I work nights so I'm getting up for the day. First thought was. . . nevermind. . .SECOND thought was "who won the T"!!!

And that would be you! Congrats!
You did not call my parents like the other dude did you lol. :p

Pm me your info and we will work out a shipping date.

[LadyPharaoh]

Thank you so much Ryan. This has been fun. {D

No, no calls from here. I just like geography. After the "Sea of Japan" thing - and after you posted the dates you were in service - it had to be in the Middle East. After that it was just process of elimination.

[FreedomJack]

Lucky Ducky! Congrats! :D :D :D :D

[LadyPharaoh]

Lucky Ducky! Congrats! :D :D :D :D

Thank you!! {D

[Protectyaaaneck]

yeah no joke. congrats on winning, your gonna enjoy her, is this your first pokie? Formosa's are gorgeous :drool:

[LadyPharaoh]

Yes! First pokie. I've been waiting until my birthday (2/8) to order any more T's and man it's been hard to wait! This sort of takes the sting off losing my B. smithi sling too (different thread).

[Protectyaaaneck]

awesome, they are great T's, very beautiful and make great display spiders when they are out. I think the one your getting and the one i just got from ryan are sisters :P

[LadyPharaoh]

Really!? That's awesome! I can't wait to see her.
