I've got some exciting news. Please sit down. If you're already seated, please slouch, or sit on the floor. You'll need to be as low to the ground as possible in case you faint from all the hubbub. I also recommend you go ahead and lay pillows on the floor all around you. Additionally, use duct tape and styrofoam to cover the exposed corners of any furniture, doors, baseboards, radiators - anything that you could potentially strike your head on as you lose consciousness, your legs buckle, and you drop to the ground. Once you've adequately head-injury-proofed the room you're in, you may continue reading this post.............
I'm giving away free t-shirts!!! Of course, I can't possibly afford to simply give these things away without expecting something in return. I want you to refer your friends, families, co-workers, and friendly acquaintances to this blog. Here's the idea: You tell your people to visit my site, read some of my stuff, enjoy themselves, and leave a quick comment on this post. All they need to do is tell me who referred them, and maybe a "Hi, how ya doin'?" or something along those lines. At the end of the week, I'll count up all of the folks who commented, and whoever referred the most people will win a shirt of their choice. Here are some samples of the designs you'll have to choose from. Also, several other colors are available:
Also, you'll have a choice of what you want the back of the shirt to read. Here are a couple examples, but I won't limit you to the following two choices. It's your shirt, after all.
I expect that you won't need to refer too many people in order to win, but the more the better. Also, each of the people whom you refer will receive a virtual hug from The Mill. This virtual hug will be fully clothed and purely platonic, so feel free to refer wives, girlfriends, husbands, boyfriends, sisters, brothers and grandparents. I do not discriminate.
I'll post results next week, on November 26th. If this succeeds, I'll be giving away a Hummer H2 next time! Or perhaps another t-shirt!

wouldn't it be a better idea to give out shirts with your blog web address to all of your friends as advertising for your blog?
I'd give you a shirt with the website address, if you would wear it. Admittedly though, my URL is a bit clunky looking. It wouldn't be as stylish or as sleek as my current designs. Plus, I don't really have all that many friends.
that's what the back of shirts are for -- clunky URLs. sign me up for a shirt please.
Scott, did I miss out on this contest? I wish I had known. Do you have a shirt that says "Just Mill-ing?"
Is Lindsay making the shirts for you? Will we see them in A&F or Hollister?
Can I get one and use it for a Bat Mitzvah gift, thus making a subliminal statement?
Pam, you're in luck. The contest is still running, although it would seem as though no one else realizes that. The shirt can say whatever you want it to say, but Abercrombie will not be seeing one red cent from me. The Bat Mitzvah gift idea is fabulous. I've always just assumed that 13 year old girls would be big fans of my blog.
Fear not,my cousin. I teach 5 classes of 12 and 13 year olds!!! What a wonderful idea for a "friendly letter" assignment. We go back to school on Tuesday!
If I can't get computer lab time, I'll let them use my computer. One kid at a time.
