T-Shirt Winner And Runner Up

You can own this T-Shirt

There were actually only three entries in the contest to win the t-shirt that says “I guess there are never enough books.” So deciding on a winner was not as difficult as usual.

The winner, Casey Freeland, who, after a rather lame start about hiding a tattoo, goes on to promise us WORLD PEACE. How can you beat that? (I think Casey may have been watching too many Miss America Contests.) Here’s his complete answer:

That’s easy… because it will serve two purposes, like any well written prose. First, it will hide my tattoo which has a creature in it that makes people nervous. Second, it will make me seem soooooo smart, which makes people believe I am imparting some great wisdom every time my lips start smacking.

The result is immediate improved communication between me and everyone I talk to. Those I speak to will feel better about themselves, more confident, and go out into the world. Like a virus of good will they will infect all those around them.

The subsequent chain reaction of happy will spread across the globe until it reaches every mountain peak of the Andes and every Polynesian island.

And then… world peace.

All because you gave me a shirt.

And the runner up–winner of a bookmark that lists all of Steinbeck’s books:Jackie Smith of TravelnWrite, because Jackie tied up books AND travel:

I love the quote credited to Saint Augustine that says, “The world is a book, and those who do not travel, read only a page.” For those of us who love travel AND books, books are the means of armchair traveling to distant lands we may never reach, they serve as the introduction to new places we may well visit and they serve to bring back memories of earlier travels. Therefore, just as with destinations, there can never be too many books.

Congratulations to both of you.
