lol. I am going full on this year. I'm going for antlers, can't keep still (although he is very lazy :rotfl:) and, the really sad look (easy, he's a Basset Hound)
I reckon that I'll win some chocolate, a vacuum and every other advent out there. Not forgetting a toy for him - although he'd rather have a chewy :rotfl:.
I'll show superheroes & Michigan........................

.................how to fail, 'cos I know it won't work :rotfl::rotfl::mad::rotfl:

Be Lucky

Ohh a Basset Hound! They are adorable.

im always seeing the "what an amazing and generous prize....over the moon...share with my best..." blah blah blah on comps......i though brown noser, however being very very new to comping, do the sob stories make a difference?, how do they choose winners? my personal thoughts would be some take the time to use some sort of fair name generater, others will scroll though and see who they like the look of?! and if the latter is the case im getting my old bikini pics out (just kidding!!) x

First of all, hello :wave::wave:
Right, I don't think it makes much of a difference tbh, it is supposed to be random, so I have never understood why folk feel the need to go overboard with the sob stories/begging etc. And also there was a spate of people responding to the sob stories with 'If I win I'll donate it' or 'This should win'
A lot of us would rather that when it comes to the FB comps, have the ones running it have a form to fill in, which the likes of the Entertainer already do (doesn't stop the begging, but at least with a form there is more of a level playing field)
What annoys me is the ones where all that is required is an answer to a question, and some of them are so obsessed with what is going off in their lives and the need to share it, that they forget to answer the question in the first place (I've seen people win doing that too) So I don't think that half the time the promoters read what is written.
TBh, some of us will put a piccy on if it is something to do with the prize - I sometimes put a pic of my dog on if it's for shampoo, etc. But some do go too far with it. The Marriage in Michigan is a prime example. But, Christmas is coming up, wait till you see what happens there. This forum goes into overdrive (Watch out for the legendary Stick Man and the infamous Newt )
If you think that waffle will give you more of an advantage, then by all means give it a go. Just be warned that you may end up on here :rotfl::rotfl: muhahaha
Seriously though, welcome and enjoy yourself :T
Be Lucky.

I once won a fb competition with a cgi photo of a sad kitten standing on its back legs and "Pick me or the kitten gets it" (it matched the tone of the hosts fb page!). But I won because she got her son to pick the winner and he liked cats.

Just seen this on FB (paraphrasing as well)

Somebody's hubster has broken some ribs, his shoulder & breastbone (poor sod). They would love to win.............
A box of crisps.
Ho-Hum.
At least they aren't in Michigan (or is it Chicago?)

It's original. You could use that one (don't forget to share if you win something though) :rotfl:

I get annoyed when the people who beg go on to win. When you have done what the promoter asks - for them to pick someone who really appreciates it annoys me... we would all appreciate it!!
