Pens And Pencils June Giveaway

In November of last year I ran across a 5 pack of pens by Peachtree Playthings sold under the Inc. label called Magna Tank Gel Pens. I'd never see nor heard of the company or the product before. But I was intrigued. 5 gel pens with three times the ink supply as other gel pens for under $3.00! And in 0.5 mm point size yet! I just had to try these out so I bought a pack. I was impressed enough to do a review of the pens. Little was I to know that my review would stir up a mini buzz! I received quite a few comments from people asking just where they could find these unique pens. It seems that there was a scarcity of Magna Tanks! Wal-Mart was where I bought mine, but others wrote that they have seen them at Walgreen's and The Dollar Store. A search of my local Walgreen's and Dollar Stores turned up nothing. Even my local Wal-Mart didn't seem to be able to keep them in stock!

Well, I finally found some at my local Wal-Mart one day recently so I bought some. The express purpose of buying the Magna Tanks was to give them away! But just how to give them away! Should I have 5 individual winners or should I have a single winner of all 5 pens? Boy that was a toughy! It took me all of 30 seconds to decide on giving all 5 pens away to a single winner! So up for grabs are 5 brand new Magna Tank gel pens still in the blister package! This is an assortment package with one each of the colors black, blue, red, green and violet.

So, just how does one go about winning the Magna Tank pens? Simple, just leave a comment on the post (casting a vote for me as Emperor of the North Pole) before midnight Friday the 12th of June. Then check back on Saturday, June 13th after one AM to see if you are the winner! Easy, yes? Oh, but there are a few rules to follow. First only one comment per person, please. Duplicate comments by the same person will be ignored. If you sign in anonymously you must leave some type of identifier such as the handle you commonly use on other websites. I can not identify an anonymous poster. Such posts will be ignored so please lease some kind of identifier if you post anonymously. Please do not leave an e-mail address as an identifier unless this is the email addy that you leave open to the public! Remember this is an open blog and anyone stopping in can see your email addy. Lastly, please do check back in after one AM on the 13th. MY first two giveaways have gone to the second round winners because the first picks never checked back in!

The winner will be chosen randomly using the Random Integer Generator at the bottom of this blog. Each eligible contestant will be assigned a number starting with the number one (1) corresponding to the position of their posted comment. The first comment will be assigned the number one (1) and so on. The winner will have from one AM on Saturday the 13th of June until Midnight Monday, June 15th to leave a comment claiming their prize and sending me an email at theoldgeezer@live.com. I case the first picked winner fails to claim the prize then a second drawing will be held after Midnight on Monday, June 15th. That winner will have until midnight on Thursday, June 18th to claim the prize as second round winner. If the second round winner fails to claim the prize then the giveaway if null and void.

So all you Magna Tank lovers, get to casting your vote, eh, I mean , leaving your comments.

(Emperor of the North Pole was a movie in 1973 staring Lee Marvin, Ernest Borgnine and Keith Carradine. Borgnine is a sadistic conductor who will kill any hobo who tries to ride his train. Legendray hobo Marvin declares that he will be the first to do so. Young hobo Carridine is a tag a long who hopes to follow in Marvins footsteps. The movie is action packed and set in the Depression era. Eventually Marvin kills Borgnine then tosses young Carridine off the train declaring, "There can only be one Emperor of the North Pole". Later releases of the movie had the name changed to Emperor of The North)
