Minnesota gets all the good contests

Post by Kicker774 »

Here's "What's New" at the place I'm working (I guess I should make that "Working") for:
http://www.express.com/sweepstakes/swee ... ame=sweeps

Yes a swepstakes to see Fall Out Boy in Minnesota.
This isn't a trip to Minnesota to see Fall Out Boy. This is strictly limited to selected counties in Minnesota.

So I guess that means our resident Minnesotian has some great odds of winning these tickets.

This is probably the greatest thing to come to Minnesota since 5th round draft pick Niklas Funke!! :lol:

I'm revamping/improving a database to track their e-commerce sales.

I would tell you that I'll keep you up to date on any sales/promotions happening but every other day I've been there a new sale/promotion is happening.
And because I'm a contractor I don't get an employee discount.

That doesn't mean I can't find the database containing the entries for this contest and stuff the e-ballot box with Neils info.

Ah.

I don't fit into anything Express carries, so any insider information would be useless to me anyway.

fall out boy is craptastic.
Whenever death may surprise us,
let it be welcome
if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear
and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.


Nobody's gonna miss me, no tears will fall, no ones gonna weap, when i hit that road.
my boots are broken my brain is sore, fer keepin' up with thier little world, i got a heavy load.
gonna leave 'em all just like before, i'm big city bound, your always 17 in your hometown

I'll be the first to say that I like some Fall Out Boy. I only really know the singles, but I dig 'em. Catchy and fun.

Didn't we used to have a thread devoted to them on here, before they got popular?
I remember going into it twice in a row thinking it was simpsons-related...

I wouldn't doubt that. I bet if we looked back at the archives, we'd find a lot of music CMers discovered before it got huge.
