Win 12 tees from Unicorns rock by answering this question!

by Andy on November 28, 2009

Here’s the question for the unicorns rock competition that I posted about earlier in the week:

What brand of beer would a unicorn drink?

If you’re thinking that’s going to be mighty hard to work out, clues to the answer can be found on the posts that all 5 tee blogs made about the competition in the form of their respective coupon codes. When you have the answer, you need to e-mail it to contest@unicornsrock.com along with a link to your Twitter account so that they can verify you have tweeted about all 5 blog posts related to the competition. If you haven’t made those 5 tweets then you are not elegible to win. If you’re just joining in the fun now you can just post all five tweets now (or spread them out a bit so that your followers don’t think you’re spamming them), you didn’t have to tweet on the day that the post was released, you just have to have tweeted all the posts before you send your e-mail to Unicorns Rock. Unicorns rock need to receive your e-mail by 5pm (I’m pretty sure they’re on the west coast so presume PST) on Monday (Nov. 30th) for you to be eligible for the prize of 12 t-shirts of your choice from their store.

All the rules (and you should probably check them in case I’ve made a mistake), along with a list of the participating blogs, can be found on the Unicorns Rock Contest page. [CC licensed photo by Zoomar]

I Want My Own Theme Music by @ladylily101 at Threadless

I want my own theme music twitter tee at threadless

I do believe this is the first is the first ever tee posted on Hide Your Arms that is based entirely on a tweet, can you feel the history?

I wouldn’t actually wear this Threadless tee (whether it had a Twitter affiliation or not), but I felt inclined to post it because this weekend a friend walked up to me and said that a small group of my friends were discussing what my theme music should be (I wasn’t with them, which is what made it a little odd), and decided that it was “Big Spender.” She then proceeded to belt out a few bars of the previously mentioned song, which was slightly awkward.

No One Reads Your Stupid Tweets by Tweet Tees

I think I’m a fairly active Twitter user, I chatter a bit, ask questions, give answers, I find it to be a genuinely useful tool, but there’s something I don’t understand; what’s the deal with all these people that feel the need to have thousands of followers? Or people going “come on, let’s get me up to 300 followers by Friday”?

What’s the point? What are you gaining by having a large number next to your name?

Nothing, if you can’t imagine yourself sending an @ message to someone or don’t feel that they’ll be interesting, don’t follow them, it’s as simple as that. If someone follows me and is following more than 1,000 people, chances are I’m not going to follow them back because it feels like they’re just going after big numbers. I even feel as if the 600ish that I’m following is too many because I can’t keep up with all the tweets. Anyone else know what I mean?

There’s nothing like a good tee that uses negative space to kick off the week… except for perhaps a mountain of coffee and a doughnut.

Johnny Cupcakes: Summer 2008 Release Queue Photo’s

24.06.2008

No cupcakes, what the hell were they thinking?!I think this is the first time that HYA has ever had someone actually do a bit of reporting that isn’t me. I found out that Huzzah Goods were going to be taking a peak at the line snaking out of 279 Newbury Street, asked if they could [...]
