Six of you regurgitated the proper four words when I asked you to 'say a few words'. Granted, it still bugs me that it's four words, because 'a few' means three. But maybe it's a British thing?



Meanwhile, a couple of you ([livejournal.com profile] tarpo, [livejournal.com profile] crimsonlotus84) were smart asses and said 'a few words'. And two of you ([livejournal.com profile] poskunk, [livejournal.com profile] happyconfusion) even went so far as to translate it into several languages!

Check out the plethora of other great answers HERE

Meanwhile, [livejournal.com profile] gelsey, [livejournal.com profile] revoked_soul, [livejournal.com profile] leaper, [livejournal.com profile] clare_dragonfly, [livejournal.com profile] cazrolime, and [livejournal.com profile] tjstein are eligible for...



You actually have your choice - please tell me which, if either, you want. If you don't want anything, it won't hurt my feelings, just let me know. And it goes without saying that I will need your address if I'm going to send you anything, you may e-mail it to me at smeddley at comcast dot net - if you're previously recieved a package from me and your address has not changed, just respond with a yay or nay and it'll be on its way... or not.

Also, for the crafty out there, anyone can e-mail me and I will send you a zip file with all the instructions and files needed to make your own.

PRIZE OPTION #1

HP Matchbook notepads. This picture doesn't show it well, but they're little cardstock matchbooks with a tiny pad of paper in them. Set of four, various designs. Hogwarts logo and Dumbledore memorial pads pictured.



PRIZE OPTION #2

HP Spell Magnets, 20 assorted spells. You can request one, maybe two of your favorite and I'll try to accommodate, but they were divided randomly (the instruction file would have all the spells I could find, so you could always make more, too).

This project is one where I had a great idea after I'd done it. I mean, you could have little cases of 'types' of spells - a case with the dark mark on it for evil spells, things like that. But live and learn, this is what I have for now.







Round six will be up soon!

So my gut instinct was right! Wow.

It was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw the post. I went so far as to get my book out and look it up to make sure ;)

Dude, SPELL MAGNETS!!! w00t! *is such a geek* I'm not even picky about what ones I get ;)
Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007 12:19 am (UTC)
Yeah, I wondered if anyone knew it off the top of their head, or if people would go so far as to research it!
Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007 12:21 am (UTC)
I knew it (geek that I am) but I wanted to double-check it so that I would make sure. Hehe.
Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007 12:44 am (UTC)
That is geeky! ;)
Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007 12:55 am (UTC)
;)
Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007 04:39 pm (UTC)
I knew right away what you were looking for, but had to go look them up :P
Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007 12:25 am (UTC)
Y'know, whenever being a giant dork pans out, I'm never sure whether to be pleased or horrified with myself. But that's my own issue to work out. ;)

I like magnets!

And, just for the record, I stand by the other half of my answer. Everybody should have 'fuge' in their vocabulary.
Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007 12:46 am (UTC)
Pleased. Always pleased! Dorkiness is good!

Magnets it is, then. :)

I liked the other half of your answer. You got high marks for it! Though I was tempted to misuse and/or keep a word beyond its due date just to see what the penalty would be...
Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007 12:27 am (UTC)
Excellent!!

It's scary how malevolent and smart-ass-tasticly similar Tarpo and I are. But only one may be called "Master"...

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007 12:47 am (UTC)
I think the scariest thing is how many smart asses my journal seems to attract. That and egomaniacs. They're hip-deep around here!

As for who reigns supreme, I'll let you two settle that while I cower behind the couch...
Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007 03:19 pm (UTC)
Can I be an Eggomaniac? I do love me some eggo's...
Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007 11:59 pm (UTC)
Depends... are you also a maple syrup fan?
Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007 05:10 am (UTC)
It makes me sad that I must eventually kill you and devour your soul.. but only briefly.. Then I busy myself with organizing condiments and preparing the room for your slaughter
Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007 02:19 am (UTC)
I can't believe I didn't use that line because I thought I'd be regurgitating. Gelsey asked me to confirm the line before I even saw the post. Gah.
Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007 12:03 pm (UTC)
Ooooh, so she was cheating and asking for help, eh? ;)

I think it may have been deceptively easy, like you think, "Oh, no, that can't be it!" I'm sneaky like that!
Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007 01:30 pm (UTC)
No, she just wanted to know if I had my book closer for confirmation than she did.

Exactly. I figured you wanted something unique.

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007 12:03 pm (UTC)
*pats*

:)
Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007 11:29 am (UTC)
I always thought few means more than one but not more than ten. I've never heard it define as a specific number before.

I'd love the magnets...they are pretty darn cool.
Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007 12:04 pm (UTC)
And see, I most definitely think of it was exactly three, and I don't know why!
Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007 01:09 pm (UTC)
I just started yelling random words because I was really tired. then I typed what I'd just yelled.

Ayup. I'm not geeky, I'm mostly just incoherent.
Thursday, August 23rd, 2007 12:00 am (UTC)
Incoherent can be fun, though, too!

You're geeky enough to be in the club, don't worry. :)
Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007 04:44 pm (UTC)
just emailed relevant data. But forgot to mention, I would love to see the instructions for creating these!
Thursday, August 23rd, 2007 12:01 am (UTC)
Got it! I'll send an e-mail with the instructions... probably tomorrow. I need to finish putting it together, and I'm just too tired tonight. Wednesdays SUCK. :/
Tuesday, August 28th, 2007 03:55 am (UTC)
Duh, what else could it be?! And I want spell magnets, if there are any left.
Tuesday, August 28th, 2007 12:01 pm (UTC)
Of course there are! I wouldn't give away your prize without your say-so! O.O
Tuesday, August 28th, 2007 03:14 pm (UTC)
Well I wasn't sure you had enough! And yay, spell magnets.
