09/05/06 - September Contest!

[Jeff]

The contest this month is a caption contest. It is available to webhosting, reseller, and VDS customers, as well as anyone who may be interested in signing up for one of those services. We will not have 1 winner for this contest, but 3.

The idea is simple -- what is this cute little basset hound thinking? Let us know! You must be one of the first 3 people to respond to win this month's mystery prize! The prizes will be announced after the contest has ended, which will be after the first 3 captions are given.

1. But Dumbo didn't actually need the feather!?
2. I hear they've come a long way in ear reduction surgery...
3. Ear drying has become the major reason for my being late for work.
4. My voice sounds so funny when I bark into the fan!
5. When will Summer be over again????
6. According to dog years, my change of life will last another 49 years.
7. You think my owners could spend a few more minutes using the towel!
8. Frankly, Scarlet, I don't give a dawm!
9. But why can't my dog house get air-conditioning?
10. Duke, I warned you if you did that once more you'd be sleeping outside.

[Jeff]

They're all great, but #4 and #9 had me cracking up the most! And for posting a caption (10 no less!) in this month's contest thread, you are winner number 1 of 3! Wasn't that easy?? I'm really surprised there haven't been more entries! We're just giving away prizes over here, so come on Myriad customers, let's see what you've got!

1. Maxwell Cassettes http://www.engadget.com/2005/12/16/maxell-brings-back-the-blown-away-guy/
2. All that yellow stuff in my ears is almost gone
3. Don't stand behind me, you might get a whiff of some canine odor
4. Why the hell am I in front of an antique fan with bright lights shining in my retina? My eyes are dry and freaking burning from these 500k light bulbs. Stupid humans.
5. I bet this pose would work well for a contest for Myriad Network. Wait, what do I get out of this?
6. Paid 40 bucks for this "Drive 65 for Doggies" simulator. Worth every freakin penny.
7. This will look great on my Myspace next to my nose minimalizing mirror shot. God, I am hot.
8. This agency sucks, where is was my latte? And look at my nails....no free trim? They are longer than Howard Hughes' on his death bed.

Oh my god. I'm in tears over here. I didn't realize that picture could be THAT funny, and almost went with a different, "busier" picture. Needless to say, between your answers and Marie's, I'm glad I didn't! This caption contest is a keeper. We'll definitely be doing this again in the future.

Ben it looks like you're lucky winner #2! Great answers all around. Who will winner number 3 be.. I guess we'll have to wait and see :)

[dsynthuhsize]

Thanks man. Usually people laugh at me, not my jokes. Can't wait to see what I won! Yayyyyy!!!

[dsynthuhsize]

Customer alert! Wakeup, win a prize!

[Ryan]

[dsynthuhsize]

OMG, come on people :)

[Jeff]

I'm really surprised more of our latest customers haven't been in here to claim the 3rd prize for this month's contest. We send the link in their Welcome emails. If a 3rd customer doesn't win this month, we'll just have to upgrade the prizes you and Marie won =]

I cannot believe I won...I've truly never won anything in my entire life!!! Do you know why no one has posted anything? Because Myriad Network's customers don't post anything on the forum because they never have any problems...so, it's your own faults for doing such a great job...

:o

Haha glad we could be the first to congratulate you on winning something.

You could be right, but why miss out on some winnings?! Their loss, your win.

Hopefully some more people will post on these in the futures. Enjoy your winnings!

You know, I've thought that for a long time now. I wouldn't say it myself because usually no one listens to people who toot their own horn, rather they carefully listen to the words of others, and understandably so. That's not to say problems don't happen now and again, but we make every effort to deal with them as soon as possible before anyone even has time to blink.

Sometimes I think people mistake us for a "small" hosting company due to our forums not being as big as others. However, providing various services to over 15,000 domains (observed in DNS usage statistics), this is anything but the actual case.

It's ok that not many people post in the forums, as it will give those who visit regularly more of an edge on winning the contests! :)

Thanks for your participation and for allowing us to reward you for being our customers, you guys are great!

[javaj]
