Congratulations man.

Get me your address or email through pm, and I'll get that out as soon as I find a box.

I want to say thank you very much to the folks who played along. I appreciate you.

Also a big thanks to @PaulNChucker for putting it in his newsletter. Sorry it didn't generate any sales man.

Happy New Year to all.

Thank you for doing this! I tried to promote with every newsletter.

It has arrived. What a wonderful package but seems like it’s more suited to someone else. I think @Amos Otis should have this stuff, minus the beans. What do ya say dude, gonna make my day and let me send this stuff to ya? You’re going to get more enjoyment from it than I will.
Thanks again guys.

Minus the beans! Spoken like a true pHenohunter !

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.

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.

That's such a cool idea. I saw the whole Reverse Auction end... (face-palm) After I got done spraying whatever it was drinking all over the antique coffee table, I felt a bit bad for Amos Otis. It would be a bit disappointing for our fav. Bruce Campbell look-alike. And even now, a couple weeks or more later, we are still finding sticky soda pop pots in unexpected places.

I have 3 of the above packs. If I win, please pay it forward to the next pHer. TX, dude

This pic is the favored lady from AnimalFlapjacks.

It isn't just purty, it's has a heavy Indica style stone.

Thread Necromancy of an epic contest like that is a good thing, that was really fun and very cool of ya to assemble those items. I have come to see The Amos Otis Starter Kit as a foundational artifact of pH, it was a wonderful idea.

Thnk you sir. Sure didn’t get any traction at the time though lol

@Hitch It might become Ark-like, except for someone actually HAS the AOSK, and as time goes by there are more and more people who say to themselves each day (well pretty often anyway) "What can I,___________ do today that will please Amos Otis ?"

Not so sure about that lol

…and as time goes by there are more and more people who say to themselves each day (well pretty often anyway) "What can I,___________ do today that will please Amos Otis ?"

Haha funny . Actually I feel like buying a pack of beans will accomplish this.
