I Want to Give You Some Free Papa John’s Pizza
Posted in: Announcements
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!
