I Want to Give You Some Free Papa John’s Pizza

Papa John’s is running a Luckiest Day of the Century promotion, to culminate tomorrow, 7/7/7. They’ve given us seven free pizzas (gift cards, actually) to be given out as we fit.
Now on one hand, it’s just a pizza, so I don’t want to make you do a whole bunch of work. On the other hand, I don’t want to do a whole bunch of work, either, like judging a contest.
For the last several weeks I have been trying to woo Jason Kottke into adding me to his Twitter friends list. First I wrote wistful musings about what I imagined his current behavior to be; later I dialed up the creepiness with intimations that I’d come knocking on his door. So far he has resisted my advances.
But now I am worried about him! He hasn’t updated his site in several days. In typical stalker fashion, I am going to presume the absolute worst: Jason Kottke is pinned in his apartment under a fallen stack of “Lern2Kern: The Total Idiot’s Guide to Type Spacing,” his secret shame.
He’ll eventually be found and rescued, so when that happens I’d like to have something ready for him. The first seven people to send me a scan or picture of a hand-written get-well-soon card for Jason Kottke—crayons and teddy bear stickers highly recommended—will win a free pizza. And by “send me” I mean “link in the comments,” so we know who gets the job done first.
We’re coming for you, Jason! Stay strong!
UPDATE: Rumor has it that Jason and Meg are off having a baby. We will now also accept “Congratulations” cards!
You should make that a box of cigars, not a get well card. He and Meg just had thier baby, thus the silence. Now give me my free pizza!
You had me fooled! I just went to Amazon to see if there was a type spacing book (a la Lern2Kern) written by our beloved JKottke. He led me to your site, btw. Well, I guess he is slacking for the holiday. Let him. Even totally consistent motherf*ckers have their blow-off moments. Zebibage, we call it in Moroccan slang.
I made this at work, so resources were limited. In the interest of honesty there is some minor photoshopping, but I think this was made in the spirit of the contest.

Yes, those are dry erase markers.
Yay, we have our first two winners! (I’m giving Bryce one, too, because of the update.)

Wherein I pursue the theme of dry erase markers to their logical conclusion.

Hmm I skipped Dry Erase Markers and Went with Internet Meme. Could be due to my lack of a camera at work.
Cheap college student + boredom + only having a sharpie, black pen, blue pen and a highlighter =

I’m really bad with art, especially computer-based art, but I (with trusty Microsoft Paint at my whim) gave it the ol’ college try.
Ah… more future bloggers being born into the world. Here’s my vision of the future + a personal message for Jason/Ollie:
