"URL Link" T-Shirt by Threadless
UPDATE: This contest is now closed. All five winners have been selected and notified (via Twitter). Thanks for participating, and watch for more contests here at ForeverGeek.com!
Our good friends at Threadless are giving away 5 of these brand-new, geektastic t-shirts exclusively to ForeverGeek readers! The design is called “URL LINK,” and it depicts Legend of Zelda‘s hero drawn using website URLs. Winning one is easy — here’s how to enter.
"URL Link" T-Shirt by Threadless
This is a patented ForeverGeek “Tweet + Link” contest.
Step 1: Copy & paste the following, and then Tweet it:
I just entered to win a #Link (from Zelda) t-shirt from @threadless & @geekforever! Enter here: http://spm.me/threadlesslink #WinURLLink #contests
Step 2: Leave us a Comment on this page (below) to let us know you Tweeted, and paste the link to your Tweet in your Comment. (Note that our Comments are moderated, so it won’t show up immediately after you click the “Post Comment” button.)
In case you don’t know how to find a Tweet’s individual URL, you can find it at Twitter.com. It’s the date just below your Tweet, as seen here:
That’s it. 5 winners will be selected at random from the Commenters on or around 5:pm EST on Friday, August 26th. Winners will be notified via Twitter, after which you’ll send your mailing address to the good folks at Threadless so they can send you your t-shirt.
Important: You can enter the contest once per day between now and the 26th — but no more. (That’s 8 total Tweets + Comments if you enter every day.) Enter more than once daily and all your entries will be disqualified. Gotta keep it fair.
Happy Tweeting + Linking!

Here’s my tweet:
http://twitter.com/#!/chrisstephens1/status/104287545625546753
“Once a day” means “once a day” and not “24 hours exactly,” right? So I can post sometime Friday, sometime Saturday, et cetera without being disqualified? ^^;
My tweet: http://twitter.com/#!/Sam_Or_CCF/status/104329556156096512
Yes, once a day means exactly that. You don’t have to be so precise as to separate them by precisely 24 hours. We’re not that anal. :)
Thanks :)
Would love to win a t shirt. Thanks!

I go to the local walgreens to pick up my script that wasn’t covered on my insurance and the lady tells me it will be $104. I said, ” what am I trying to fill a heart container on Zelda?, I just need antibiotics!”

Have the winners been notified yet? :)
Sorry… I suck. My plate runneth over. They will be notified within the next hour, promise!
Awesomeness! MY plate runneth over many times. I know how you feel.
may i winneth pleaseth!!!!! i wanna raise the shirt above my head and hear TE-NEH-NEH-NEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
There couldn’ve been more than 18 people who did all 8 tweets: 149 comments divided 8 = 18(odd)… and i still lost. Sheesh, lameoids.
Yeah, I was trying to come up with the odds of winning the Ts, too.
If there are 5 t-shirts, that means 5 out of (roughly) 145 entries won a T = 5/145= 1/29
So 1 out of every 29 comments got a T-shirt. I believe that’s a 3.45% chance per entry (1/29 x 100%)
So if you multiply the number of entries you had by 3.45%,
8 x 3.45% = 27.6%
Means you basically had a 1 out of 3 chance of getting one of the Ts.
…I only had a 1 out of 5 chance (I didn’t win one either). I’m a bit surprised you didn’t win one, though.
Oh well, congratulations to the winners!
I can tell you that 3 of the 5 winners entered just one time each! Luck of the draw. We use a random number generator to pick the winners.
So much for the extra effort and spreading the word. Congratulations to the winners… i guess. Ugh.
Cool shirt none-the-less
:)
Don’t be bitter! :) There are many more contests to come.
Oh, and btw… 2 of the winners have not yet responded to claim their prizes. If they don’t reply in the next week or so, we’ll have to award their shirts to 2 new winners!
