Our Identify the Picture contest is entering its last week. The new pictures are now pretty easy, and include the final clue, so vote quickly before someone else guesses all 5 pictures.
For example, here’s one of the tougher pictures from last week and the same picture today:
Last week:

Not for the meek
What is that inside?
You like dogs too? |
This week:

clues:
Not for the meek
What is that inside?
You like dogs too?
Think mustard would go with that?
|
We’ll announce our winner next week, but even if you think someone has already won you can still guess. Remember, only your final guess counts. The most accurate guess as of next Thursday will win the $20 (or super secret mystery prize). Plus, we’ll pull out the funniest bonus picture guesses and give props to the authors (and their websites if they provided them).

Our Identify the Picture contest is now even easier to win. The new pictures show a sizeable part of the final image, and I also added 2 more clues for each picture. For example, here’s one of the pictures from last week and the same picture today:
Last week:

clue: Not for the meek
|
This week:

clues:
Not for the meek
What is that inside?
You like dogs too?
|
We’ve received responses that are correct for at least 3 of the pictures, so it’s quite likely that with the new clues and pictures someone will win this week. Remember, you can leave as many guesses as you want, but your last guess is the only one that’s counted. Click here to go to the contest and enter your guesses. If you have general comments about our contest, feel free to enter them here (but only put your entries on the contest post).

The $100 Identify the Picture contest is now 4 times easier than before. We’ve increased the amount of detail shown on each picture by a factor of 4, and also added a clue for each one. For example, here’s one of the pictures before and after zooming out:
Last week

Now after zooming out

clue: Not that easy

The contest is now over. See our announcement for the winner and some of the funny responses to the bonus picture.
The premise of our second contest is pretty simple: leave a comment identifying each picture shown below to win at least $20 (up to $100, see details below), or a top secret mystery prize. There’s a bit of a twist though … you can enter as many times as you want, but only your last entry will be counted. So if you are a whiz and guess correctly tomorrow, but then look at everyone else’s guesses and re-enter, only your last guess will count.
To win, just be the first to identify pictures 1-5 (the most creative and correct answer for the bonus picture both get special recognition)
1. Beluga Whale
(thanks sillydog)

Not found on you
What is that I see?
You like to swim?
Think caviar
|
2. Deer Bologna
(on my countertop)

Not too harmful
What is for dinner?
You might even like it
Think hunting
|
3. Elmo slippers
(thanks DottieboBottie)

Not that easy
What is TMX?
You cold?
Think she babies her feet?
|
4. Golf Ball
(my son’s)

Not too soft
What is balata?
You can hit it
Think fore!
|
5. Triple Bypass Burger
(thanks Master Shake)

Not for the meek
What is that inside?
You like dogs too?
Think mustard would go with that?
|
Bonus - “Tom Swift” costume
(thanks Federal Land)

Not me!
What in the world?
You want one, huh?
Think this guy’s a goof

We’ll name the winner on December 15th (even if someone has answered correctly before this), and give them one of the following prizes of their choice:
- $20 cash
- $20 in some cash equivalent (gift card, 50 cans of pinto beans, 2000 blogmad credits, etc.)
- A super secret mystery prize worth approximately $20
If someone gets all 5 in the first two weeks (by November 30th), we’ll give them $100 or a really cool top secret mystery prize. Also, every week until the 15th we’ll reveal a little more of each picture and provide a clue, so come back weekly to compare your guesses to the larger pictures!
 
For our last contest (Mix-n-match the toilets), the mystery prize was a book entitled The Truth about Poop. If you’re looking for a great kid’s present or a gag gift for a friend, we suggest you click and buy it … it’s a fun read!
If you win, we certainly hope you say “Door #3 Monty”, but if you don’t like surprises the other options aren’t bad either for playing this little game.

Have fun, we look forward to your entries!

It’s almost midnight, so we are going to announce the first person who matched the most toilets to their locations … and the winner is …
Prying1!
Prying1 matched 7 of the 9 toilets! Thankfully he also chose to receive the super secret mystery prize, which we’ll have fun revealing once he receives it. An honorable mention also goes to Thao, who also matched 7 of 9 but sent in results after Prying1 … probably because of that power failure and hours of research!
If you’re curious to see the answers, click here to go to the updated original contest post and see where the toilets came from! Thanks to everyone who entered! The contest was a great success, so we’ve decided to have some type of contest every month (with a prize value of at least $20 per contest). We’ll probably announce our next contest (with a longer deadline this time) within a week, so check back often (or subscribe to our site).
If you have any ideas for cool/funny contests, or just general comments on what you thought of this one, let us know!

So far, nobody has matched all 9 toilets to the city (the current leader has 7 matches). Scroll down to October 31st (or click here) to enter - remember, the winner gets $20 or the super secret mystery prize!
If someone doesn’t name all 9 by midnight on Friday, we’ll send the prize to the person who named the most!

FYI: the contest is now over, thanks to everyone who entered, we hope you enjoyed it! Prying1 won with 7 of 9 entries correct (pictures are now updated with their cities), and he chose the super secret mystery prize (which we’ll reveal once he receives it).
OK, so we’re trying something different today. A good friend of mine always wants us to post more toilet humor … in the literal sense. Last week he suggested we post a toilet quiz, and sent me tons of toilet pics. Initially this sounded a little strange, so to make it more interesting I’m offering $20 to the winner.
Here’s how you play: There are 9 pictures of toilets and 12 geographic locations below. Add a comment to this post matching each toilet number with each location letter. The first person to correctly match each toilet with a location will be recognized here and receive one of the following prizes (of their choosing):
- $20 cash
- A $20 gift card of their choice
- A completely random $20 gift from us - we recommend you choose this option (when was the last time you were sent a surprise gift from a website?)
Bring on the toilets (click picture to see larger version):
1. Modern
(Amsterdam)
|
2. Don’t look down
(Ecuador)
|
3. Avant Garde
(London)
|
4. Stainless
(New York Staten Island Ferry)
|
5. Loo w/ a view
(Norway)
|
6. Floor model
(Tokyo)
|
7. Posh pooper
(Baghdad)
|
8. Clearly communal
(Switzerland)
|
9. Calm
(Thailand)
|
Now just match the above pics to these locations:
- A. Baghdad
- B. Tokyo
- C. Switzerland
- D. New York
- E. Thailand
- F. Mexico City
|
- G. London
- H. Chicago
- I. Norway
- J. Ecuador
- K. Amsterdam
- L. Moscow
|
Please let us know what you think of our contest idea, with enough interest we’ll conduct other silly (non-toilet) contests in the future. A winner will be selected no matter what - if nobody matches all toilets correctly, we’ll select the person who was closest.
