  ... WEEKLY T-SHIRT GIVEAWAY :)
Every week we're giving away a free t-shirt to the person we deem as giving us the most creative reason to get free stuff! It's that simple. All you have to do is follow this link and make up some crap, and click submit.

PAST WINNERS! Read their stories, learn how to make-up quality bullshit.
Date: Thursday, August 23, 2007
Name: Matt
Reason: I deserve a shirt for the pure and honest reason that my wife has put a temporary ban on any geek related purchases. I deserve a shirt for no other reason than to show her you can't stop geek power.
SR: It's true Matt. You can't stop the geek power. What kind of world do we live in where spouses are now putting restrictions on the rapid acquisition of geeky merchandise?! That's just wrong, and should be against the law. When I read your "very valid" reason to win a free t-shirt, the first thought that popped into our mind was "LOL, WE'LL SHOW HER!". Enjoy!

Date: Thursday, August 16th, 2007
Name: Roman
Reason: I compete regularly in Xbox Halo LANs and don't fare too well. It's fair to say I get rapezorded. I reckon wearing some 1337 SplitReason threadz to the next LAN will gimme some cred. And just maybe, lift my confidence enough for me to pull off a win!
SR: No one likes to get rapezored, but it's a fact of life. You've handled being a n00b with such dignity, we grant your wish. You now have limitless confidence, and endless Cred. However, that does not mean you will be doing the raporzing. You may still suck, all we can confirm is a free t-shirt will make its way to your doorstep.

Date: Thursday, August 9th, 2007
Name: Casper
Reason: I think I deserve a free Llama t-shirt because I have heard the Llama song for 8 hours in a row. The Llama song link: http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/llama
SR: Sweet track, you won't hear this on Ryan Seacrest's top 40.

Date: Thursday, August 2, 2007
Name: Nathan
Reason: Get this, SplitReason. I spend too much time playing video game (esp. Nintendo Wii) but apparently it doesn't matter. After months of dating my high-school sweetheart, and deicing to attend St.Lawrence together, she gets mad at me. I spend too much time playing video games, and I said I don't. To prove it, I continued playing video games when she told me not to. Bam. Now I'm out of my trusty old Xbox (not 360, it's not old school enough :P), and a lot of broken furniture. I know I'm not getting my Xbox back anytime soon, but I think I deserve a t-shirt as a loyal gamer. Thanks for listening. I typed this story about a thousand time.
SR: It shows in our records that you have potentially entered this contest 5 times. That's a far cry from thousands. We do not condone dishonest behavior, but considering your Xbox and furniture has been destroyed due to excessive gaming, we figure that's gotta be worth something. Enjoy!

 
    ... FANS IN ACTION PICS GET YOU A $10.00 STORE CREDIT
