mexican coca cola bottles??
Open for international contestants my a$$ by ShadowMaker	Oct 12th, 2007 04:33:07 AM
Since there are NO Iphones here (and will not be for quite some time) - I also think mexican lobsters are quite rare in the Netherlands. So here are my options...spend over a $1000 to get a free $350 toy...or not. Hmmm....
Great... by Sledge Hammer	Oct 12th, 2007 05:08:19 AM
...so basically anyone outside of the US is screwed, as usual. Fucking typical.
TheDo... by King_Knut	Oct 12th, 2007 05:29:47 AM
Just get a regular coca cola bottle and put a miniature poncho, sombrero and Sanchez moustache on it. Et Voila, one Mexican Coca Cola bottle.
Another impossible contest from Quint. by brokentusk	Oct 12th, 2007 05:42:17 AM
Quint brother, I know you try, but please stop making these contests impossible for a large majority of readers to enter. I live in South Africa and there's no way I can find every item on that list. "A Mexican Coca-Cola bottle"? Are you kidding me?
iphone by Beltorak_69	Oct 12th, 2007 06:00:40 AM
great idea...but not really international possible... in my country the Iphone has not arrived yet...so i do have to forget about it... :-((

movie related tattoo by sharki	Oct 12th, 2007 09:48:17 AM
Does the tattoo have to be from a movie that was in theaters?
Very poor choices by carpetofstars	Oct 12th, 2007 10:08:12 AM

I would pay $324.99 to NOT have to do that contest. by -guyinthebackrow	Oct 12th, 2007 12:41:19 PM
Seriously. That is a whole lotta work for a little sculpture of that kid who saw his daddy's head get caught off by Sam Jackson.
Nice by StealthBeagle	Oct 12th, 2007 12:51:19 PM
Fuck the haters, this is a great contest, since it guarantees the winner will be someone who truly deserves the prize. No opinions, no bullshit. As for people already crying about Mexican Coca Cola bottles being impossible to find in your neck of the nape, there is a great little website called "eBay" that carries such hard-to-find items. Fuck, people, if you don't like the scavenger hunt then don't do it, but don't act like it is impossible, either.
How about I not do the contest and just get kicked in the balls by heyscot	Oct 12th, 2007 12:54:27 PM
lame
Quint, if no one wins can I have it? Can I have it anyway? by www.valiens.com	Oct 12th, 2007 01:04:42 PM
Seriously, a TRUE "Star Wars" fan would never do a contest like this, they'd cough up the dough and own it already. So if it's inevitably going to go to someone unworthy of the title STAR WARS FAN I might as well save you some time and take it off your hands right now. Thanks!
This contest should be called, DANCE BITCH DANCE by Fernwick_	Oct 12th, 2007 01:18:39 PM
How is this a contest? This is a scavenger hunt, do this bitch and youll get it. If i didnt have a wife and job and kids, maybe I could but otherwise, this is a single guy/chick task. The many tasks of Quint.
I'd rather... by vanchimera	Oct 12th, 2007 02:08:10 PM
... be shot at by Greedo. I stand a better chance of him missing than I do finding half the shit on that list.
I WIN!!!! by screamster101	Oct 12th, 2007 04:54:40 PM
sigh .. No I don't... I am not even going to try and attempt this craziness.
ahahahahaha I WIN!!!!!!!!!!!! by MovieWhore	Oct 12th, 2007 09:12:23 PM
I DID IT!!! .. Me AND my wife had to take off work and run all over town but I just submitted my bounty for evaluation .. SUCK IT!!! MINE ALL MINE .. I'M A WEALTHY LITTLE MISER!!!!!!!
Yeah... by Sledge Hammer	Oct 12th, 2007 09:29:24 PM
...because you'd really stand a big chance if you had to buy a mexican coke bottle off Ebay, pay for it, wait for it to be shipped internationally, and then photograph it wouldn't you? Dickhead.
Mexican Coke Bottle by MovieWhore	Oct 12th, 2007 09:32:09 PM
Actually it helps if you live in Texas ... There's a taqueria on every corner that carries the Mexican Coke Bottles all day!
You and your wife actually took off WORK to do this? by GrandMuffTarkin	Oct 13th, 2007 12:46:32 PM
Wow, you really are a moviewhore. Or a nerd. Same difference.
Crap. I am way too slow. by DarthCorleone	Oct 13th, 2007 02:12:15 PM
I was working, and then I was going to take a shot at it with my Saturday. I knew there would be much less lazy nerds than I. I even stuck my Admiral Ackbar figure in the freezer. I was worried about finding the Mexican Coke bottle and the movie-related tattoo. I also don't know any babies at this time. I also was going to have a hell of a time with the Stephen King tome; all I have of the old ones are paperbacks. I did wonder if these photos had to be taken after the contest started or if I could use old photos that I have taken in the past (e.g., a lizard I met in Australia). I still might use this as a line to talk to a pretty girl, though.

Better than The Fett
I like it alot. by garrettbenn	Oct 15th, 2007 02:15:18 PM

There was no way in hell i would have done this. it was a dumb c by Cotton McKnight	Oct 19th, 2007 11:47:38 PM
Actually I rather liked the contest but every tom, dick and harry tried it here AND I read about it two days after the contest was posted. You think im gonna start trying to find all of those things when people are saying "finished!" on the talkback? Hell no. I liked the idea but you needed to modify it a little so people wouldnt be discouraged from trying.
