The Giveaway!


It is finally here! This giveaway will be a Target giftcard and (count them) TWO scratch-off tickets.
My son was asking when the next contest would be, and I told him some people felt the quizzes took too much time. He suggested the scratch-offs as an incentive. Who knows, you could win big bucks, or you could waste your time as I did making this quiz.

The quiz is MOVIE QUOTES.  If a movie happens to have a sequel, it doesn't matter. Just give the name of the movie, Jaws, not Jaws 2, for example. I am assuming if you are reading this you have internet, so finding these quotes shouldn't be too hard.

Here are the RULES. You know us former educators, we like rules.

1. Email me  your answers. Do not post them here on the blog. I do not have one of those sophisticated blogs that hides your answers.

2. On the blog post the name of your favorite movie. If you don't know how to post, learn. Ha, actually, if you don't want to learn, just email me. I will post it for you. But, this is part of the contest.

3. All correct entries will be put in a hat and one winner will be chosen.

4. Winner will be posted on Wednesday.
