No Purchase Necessary


If sure everyone has heard of seen these three words before. Basically any contest, sweepstakes or similar promo says no purchase necessary. From what I understand it is so they can run their contests without it being considered gambling (when in fact it really is). Often to take advantage of the no purchase necessary part you have to jump through hoops and send self addressed stamped envelopes to some sweepstakes center and wait a few weeks to get a single entry in a contest. Sometimes you get lucky and something like this Burger King promo happens. Basically you are only allowed 6 entries per day and you normally get them from buying Whopper meals. Strangely you can also just click a link and get 6 free entries a day sent to your registered email address. So why would you even spend money on Whopper meals if you can use up your allotted 6 entries in a day just from the free ones? It baffles the mind but free is always good in my book (technically now they have your email on file but I always give out my spam mail account anyway).

Even better is I won this contest! My first win of this kind and it felt great. It also only took me 3 codes. It may be hard to see but I circled my name on their website and you can go there bkkinect.com and see it for yourself too. I just got the shipping notification so hopefully it comes in time for me to resell for an inflated amount. It's nice to win something that is sold out and in super high Christmas demand otherwise known as the 'Tickle Me Elmo' effect.

Anyone else that is interested in trying their luck just head over to the site, register and then on the screen where you enter in the codes click the don't have a code link.




My ears, they burn; but somehow my kids will learn.

Ooh look a top 5 list! I love these things. Or at least like most people I love getting my data in top list format. There is just something about them that I can't resist no matter how mundane or useless the list is.


Last night my cousin sent me a youtube video (something else I just can't resist) of some crazy, acid trip kids show of the likes not seen since Teletubbies called Boohbah.


This got me to thinking and reminiscing about other crazy kids shows that come to mind and more importantly the obnoxious, odd, brain melting songs that I can never remove from my memory. Any of my maybe 3 readers, if you have kids make sure they are in the room when you watch these. That way they get addicted and will beg you to keep playing them.

To start things off at my number 5 I have an oldie but goodie. Maybe one of the most iconic songs in young kids shows history. I Love You from Barney and Friends:




Another song from that era of kids programming that comes in at my number 4 is from a lesser watched show that I actually liked more than Barney. Unfortunately it is also one of the most annoying songs ever written, and it never ends. The Song that Never Ends from Lamb Chop's Play-Along.




Next up on my list is a song that really isn't all that obnoxious. It's also from a show that I didn't hate. In fact it is hands down the best kids show ever made. This song just somehow is always in my head and will never leave. My wife even catches me singing it to myself at home. A New Way to Walk from Sesame Street.




Now for some more modern kids shows. At number 2 is a song I drove one of my best friends crazy with. I got her son super addicted to this song and I'm sure she'll be glad I'm giving it a mention here. Maybe her son will hear it again! You Are a Pirate from Lazy Town.




And now for my number 1 kids song that I can't stand and for some reason can't ever forget. I don't understand this show, I don't understand this song and I can't for the life of me figure out why this show is so popular. The writing is horrible and nothing makes any sense. At least stupid Saturday morning cartoons didn't pretend to be educational... or did they? Knowing is half the battle and the power is yours anyway. Party in My Tummy from Yo Gabba Gabba.




And now if you are familiar with my lists I tend to throw in an honorable mention in. Mostly just because I forgot something and I want to include it anyway. This time there is a valid reason or at least I'm making one up. I couldn't really include this last one in since it is a cartoon and is not normally considered in the same category as these other shows. It does have the annoying songs though! The Spongebob Theme from, duh, Spongebob.

Don't let the nice design and layout fool you. this is a crazy place where I write all kinds of crazy stuff. Well technically not crazy but everyone else had a blog so I wanted one too. This was what resulted from it. See my first post ever for the full details.
