"It really is true that you save money by staying home." Can't wait until Tom reads that one CG!!! :rotfl2: :lmao: :rotfl: Just ask him how much money we save by me "STAYING HOME"!!!!!

As I was entering the HGTV giveaway today I noticed that the special when they actually give the house away is going to air LIVE on April 29th! That means we can win the dang thing anyway! I went on to read some of the fine print and if you are not available to travel on that day then they'll choose an alternate! What's up with that???????? :confused3
 
WOA _ hold the damn phone!!!!!!! It was April 22nd at the start of the contest!!! I am SURE of it! OK - I'll be back...................................
 
The fine print still says April 22nd, but right smack dab in the middle of the "giveaway" page it says "Watch our LIVE special on April 29th"...
 
Grand Prize Finalist Notification: Potential Grand Prize Finalists will be contacted in person between March 3-17, 2006 and such contact may be filmed and used on-air by Main Sponsor. Potential Grand Prize Finalists will be required to execute an affidavit of eligibility and release of liability and publicity (where permitted by law), and return same, fully-executed, within 5 days of date of issuance of prize notification. If Main Sponsor is unable to contact any potential Grand Prize Finalist within 5 days of the initial attempt, if any potential Grand Prize Finalist or his/her travel companion fails to return all requested forms fully-executed by the specified date, if any potential Grand Prize Finalist cannot travel on dates specified by Sponsor or if any potential Grand Prize Finalist fails to comply with these Official Rules, his/her place as a Grand Prize Finalist will be forfeited and, at Sponsor’s discretion, an alternate Grand Prize Finalist shall be selected. Secondary Prize Winner Notification: Secondary Prize Winners will be announced live during the final show of HGTV’s “Dream Home” special. The live show is tentatively scheduled to take place on April 22, 2006 and will be divided into four (4) acts (each, an “Act”). During each Act, potential Secondary Prize winners selected in the random drawing that took place on or about the week of March 3, 2006 will be announced. During Act 1, ten (10) potential Secondary Prize winners will be announced who will be eligible to receive the Act 1 Secondary Prize (as described below). During Act 2, five (5) potential Secondary Prize winners will be announced who will be eligible to receive the Act 2 Secondary Prize (as described below). During Act 3, four (4) potential Secondary Prize winners will be announced who will be eligible to receive the Act 3 Secondary Prize (as described below). During Act 4, three (3) potential Secondary Prize winners will be announced who will eligible to receive the Act 4 Secondary Prize (as described below). Only one of these Act 4 Secondary Prize winners will have been determined in the random drawing that took place on or about the week of March 3, 2006. The other two (2) Act 4 Secondary Prize winners will be the two (2) Grand Prize Finalists who were not selected as the Grand Prize winner (who will be determined as described below). All Secondary Prize winners (other than the two who are Grand Prize Finalists that have already executed documents) will be sent a letter via overnight delivery within two (2) business days following the live show which will inform them that they have won and each will be required to execute an affidavit of eligibility and release of liability and publicity (where permitted by law), and return same, fully-executed, within 10 days of date of issuance of prize notification. If Main Sponsor is unable to contact any potential Secondary Prize winner, if a potential Secondary Prize winner fails to complete and return all requested forms fully-executed by the specified date or if any potential Secondary Prize winner fails to comply with any of the requirements set forth in these Official Rules, his/her prize will be forfeited and, at Sponsor’s discretion, an alternate Secondary Prize winner shall be selected. Grand Prize Drawing: During Act 4, the Grand Prize winner will be selected randomly from among the eligible Grand Prize Finalists present at the live show. The Grand Prize Finalists not selected as the Grand Prize Winner will each receive the Act 4 Secondary Prize. Grand Prize winner will be announced live and be presented with the Grand Prize, but will not take ownership of the Grand Prize until a later date.

These are the MOST complicated rules I have ever seen for a contest, but it seems to still be April 22 - on or about, though. Where did you see April 29th?

CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But, the good news is that I think the otrher prize winners, like the other cash prizes will be awarded to viewers at home, so you need not be there - BUT, you will need to respond within 5 days I think!

OK - just read back over the rules and it's within 10 days of their sending an overnight letter so we will be back! WOOHOOO - so we can win cash and still cruise.
 
Oh, how pissed would you be to come home to find a message or currier letter from HGTV????? Man, well, at least we would have the MAGICal memories!

Gotta tell you all, that if I am notifed of being a finalist at the beginning of March, I will say I can travel April 29th if need be.
 
OK Pat, now that I have had yet another mini heart attack, on to your idea of the kids signing. Is this the song?

A Children's Pirate Shanty
by Mark "Cap'n Slappy" Summers
(can be sung to the tune of Monty Python's "I'm a Lumberjack and I'm OK" - or make up your own!)


Chorus

I'm a pirate! That I be!
I sail me ship upon the sea!
I stay up late - till half past three!
And that's a peg below me knee!

Yo Ho, my friends I have a tale
of treasure, plunder, sea and sail
my story's bigger than a whale
it gets so deep, ye'll have to bail.

Chorus
I'm a pirate! That I be!
I sail me ship upon the sea!
I stay up late - till half past three!
And that's a peg below me knee!

I like to fish, I like to fight
I like to stay up half the night
When I say "starboard" ye go right!
Me ma, she says, "Ye look a fright!"

Chorus
I'm a pirate! That I be!
I sail me ship upon the sea!
I stay up late - till half past three!
And that's a peg below me knee!

I've got no hand but that's me hook!
I pillage stuff but I'm no crook.
Me booty's in this chest I took.
They'll write about me in a book!

Chorus
I'm a pirate! That I be!
I sail me ship upon the sea!
I stay up late - till half past three!
And that's a peg below me knee!

And that's all there is to this song.
I hope it hasn't been too long.
A pirate's life might just be wrong
So grow up nice and big and strong!

Chorus
I'm a pirate! That I be!
I sail me ship upon the sea!
I stay up late - till half past three!
And that's a peg below me knee!​

CG you will traveling on that day, WITH US, let us just think about it a second. Win a Dream House in North Caroliina, or to be able to do upside down Keg Stands with El Dr. Toehead, Pango, and myself on Deck 10. See when you think of it like that it is a real easy decision.

Tom pirate:
 
Begad! Tis so simple a choice for me my addled Corsairs! Belay, Old Salt! :rolleyes: pirate:

(sorry, thought it was Julie, not Tom, responding - had to change it from wench to Old Salt)
 
this pirate talking is going to take some time to get used to, Me Hearties!
 
Hey Queen, is CG talking dirty to me? :confused3 Because if she is I really don't mind :rolleyes1.

Steve and In the Mood, so I am still trying to get all of this figured out, are you guys sharing the connecting SPH rooms? Also, is BowTie Joe anyones secret Love child, because we are still trying to figure that one out.

Tom pirate:

STEVEMED said:
cg...good for you.I know what a great feeling that must be.It was only yesterday when I was able to fit into my high school banana hamock(aka speedo).Look out Castaway Cay here I come. :teeth:

PLEASE tell me that you don't really wear one! The picture in my mind of a Portugese wearing one ....let's just say...I won't say it!! OMGosh!!! Please tell me it's a joke!

CG - good for you on the "new" clothes. I always love when you find an old favorite that fits again!!

Oh, I meant to say earlier - Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
 
I thought if we ignored it, it would go away but Suzie you had to go and bring up Steves Banana Hammock. Steve that is not the Hammock dash that we were all getting ready for, but I tell you what if you want to put that on and distract all of the other dashers, that would be great. Do you wear that up in R.I. and is that why Jonna goes by In The Mood?
