Hitch
Perpetual Amateur
For those that aren't aware, my pal Amos Otis held a little contest recently. It seems he spent quite some effort coming up with hints and clues to help solve his riddle. Then Hitch comes along like a bull in a china shop, and with the help of Google, I solve his riddle in the first guess. 15 minutes...contest over. Worse yet, the prize was a pack I already had. Not my finest hour 😂
Amos suggested I could save face by coming up with my own contest, with the original prize as the giveaway. Great idea.
But I felt I needed to do a little better than that to truly redeem myself. On that note, I present to you the "Everybody Loves Amos" contest , aka the "I ruined Amos' contest" contest.
Participation is simple. All you have to do is post your favorite Amos-related quote, story, interaction, or frankly anything Amos-adjacent.
So you might post an AO quote you found funny. Or you could tell the story of how he sent you some seeds. Maybe you're both Steely Dan fans and you mention that. Or perhaps you have pics of a Brisco bean in full flower. Anything Amos related. This is your free contest entry. At the end of the contest, I will put everyone's name in a box and have my wife randomly draw the winner.
That's all you have to do!
Drawing to be held the day after Christmas.
Now for the prizes!
The winner of this contest will receive 3 packs of Brisco's and...The Amos Otis Starter Kit...to help you channel your inner Amos! Keep scolling for more details.
Prizes:
3 packs of Brisco's. 1 pack of Banana Punchsicle bx1 regs (not pictured), and from my personal vault, 1 pack of Buttered Cowbell f1 regs with attached BP x City Slicker freebie, and 1 pack of Orgi s1 fems.
The Amos Otis Starter kit:
One new/sealed copy of The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. All 27 episodes of the hit show presented in stunning standard definition.
One new/sealed copy of Don't Fear the Reaper: the best of The Blue Oyster Cult, on retro compact disc. Containing such massive hits as Don't Fear the Reaper and...and...
One Steely Dan sticker with ultra life-like depictions of Walter Becker and Donald Fagen.
One pair of University of Virginia comfy socks in a muted blue and orange. As the description noted: "for bare feet'. Made with love in the Philippines.
One complete Fleer baseball card set of the 1981 Los Angeles Dodgers. This 33 card set Includes such Dodger greats as Burt Hooton and Rick Monday. Fun fact: Catcher Steve Yeager is married to Steely Dan member Gloria Granola. NM/Mint condition.
One Ginger Grant Funko Pop. A legendary Alluring Babe of Brisco, forever immortalized in vinyl. A truly collectible work of art.
But I save the best prize (in my humble opinion) for last. One custom t-shirt, made by my friend at Well Away Miscellany, depicting a couple of my very favorite Amos-isms. On the front we have the famous "will trade weed for food" and on the reverse, "the cash is in the mail". The sleeve says Brisco's Bargain Beans. Available in any size, as long as it's XL.
That's that! I'll make a little FAQ in the next post. Open to anyone domestically. Also happy to send this internationally as well, but I can only cover the first $15 shipping.
Your participation is greatly appreciated!
BONUS!!
Anyone who buys a pack of Brisco gear from GLG or DCSE between today and December 25, will get an extra entry per pack purchased. Just post a pic of the checkout confirmation screen with the date and all. This post can also count as your free Amos-related entry.
