it's giveaway time!

i'm kicking off my second year of blogging with a giveaway!

it took me a while to decide exactly what i wanted to giveaway...& since i can never seem to get away from my love of punctuation, the winner of this giveaway will be receiving a punctuated t-shirt!

the t-shirt will be grey or white...but beyond that, the choice is yours! pick your favorite punctuation mark (or even a fave letter if you'd rather) in your favorite color & wait in suspense for the shirt to arrive in your mailbox.

all you need do to enter is comment on this post by the end of the day wednesday (ie 12 am thursday, feb. 12). tell me your favorite punctuation mark if you'd like!
PS you can get an extra entry for posting about this giveaway on your blog or twitter.

Fun! I like the exclamation point, and the ampersand. But I always think of the ampersand as a monkey, now.

valerie2350 said...

you know...I really like the word ampersand, but....I think the exclamation point would be the best for me!!!!!!

My favorite is the interrobang (i.e. ?!). It's 2 punctuation marks in one! And can be used for all sorts of naughty puns.

seven said...

I can't decide between the ampersand and the ellipses... I like them both. (Or the "interrobang"-- I've never heard the name but I use it all the time.)

I would simply LOVE a Colon shirt. The colon is vastly underrated in today's society.

?!

Carolyn G said...

I like the ! with ? in second

Mama's Ramblings said...

I am a fan of the ! to be honest. I am just an extreme person all the way around that there is no better way to express that then to use !!! to get points across. :-)

Kiiss said...

Hmm, I never thought about this. Interesting I would say.

Lets see....

My favourite will be....
is this dot . consider a punctuation mar?
I can't live without the dot....
I just love dotting all my sentence.....

Hahahaha....:D

QL girl said...

Oh, this is tough. How ever am I supposed to choose just one punctuation mark?! I often have trouble committing to just one in my own sentences...lol. Could I settle for a combo of ...?!

Becca said...

I'm in! Awesome give-away idea! My favorite is the semi-colon. No one knows how to use them, and it's been my mission to spread the word about how cool they are. ";" = best punctuation ever. :D

Les@SpillingBuckets said...

Interesting idea.

I've always liked * best

or ;

the weakonomist said...

I'll take a tshirt with a ¿ or ¿¡. Perhaps ¿?

I'm not picky I just like them upside down.

divaqueenie said...

I was definatly going to say "?", until I read thru your previous posts and read parinoidasteroid's choice of interrobang (?!), I love this one even better! Great idea!

liane66 said...

the exclamation mark is my favorite.
Thanks for the giveaway!

Oh oh oh! I would love a grey shirt with just a question mark. That would really get people thinking. I think that could be one of my favourite shirts, and I collect shirts. Odd, I know. ;) Thank you for offering this giveaway! eyeslikesugar [at] gmail [dot] com

Movie Maven said...

I love me a semi-colon, and was particularly pleased when an ad on the MTA used one.

Susan said...

How fun - I would love a shirt with a Q. Thanks!

Christina said...

I'm torn between the exclamation and the semi-colon :P

ANG* said...

my fave without a doubt is the @ sign. i've been using it to sign things for years. it cleverly spells AT which are my initials. and now in the twitter world, who doesnt love a nice @reply...

Rachel said...

I love the & symbol. It took me forever to be able to write one as a kid! I thought it was so cool! : )

Sara said...

That is a great idea for a shirt! I am not sure what I would pick, though. I am pretty fond of /. but I think they already have a shirt. # might work well for me, though $ is fun too. I use - quite a bit when I write or program also.

Nichola said...

Semicolons are slowing (but surely) taking over the universe. Heed this warning.

lily said...

I enjoy the ! because I tend to be pretty emotive and expressive about things. I also like the @ because I'm addicted to Twitter.

Speaking of Twitter - I'll tweet this and post the link soon!

Lily said...

Sarah said...

I am also an interobang ?! girl, myself.

Kaylen said...

Fantastical! I do love me some punctuation...not that that's news or anything.

giggleness said...

well, obviously i adore the classy exclamation mark! but who doesnt?
the question mark is also quite an original one and & as well. semi colon is kinda cool cause its kinda winking at you ;

but i do believe & is my absolute favorite. :)

sonrie said...

Exclamation mark! Please!

Tisa said...

I'd have to say my favorite is the exclamation mark! ~ :) Thanks!

I'm a big fan of the semi-colon.

I find the & very interesting. What typeface will you use?

jules said...

Reeva said...
