Stuff I Have Won, Pt. 2

So I haven't posted here in a while, have I? But check out what I won while I was busy posting elsewhere!



(No, I do not have jaundice, I always look like that in photos)

No, I did not join a Summer Law Intern Program, that's a novelty t-shirt that I won from current Daredevil scribe Andy Diggle on a twitter contest. Nelson, Blake & Murdock are fictional characters, but you probably know that already if you read Daredevil. I don't know if you can get more of these t-shirts of if this is a one-of-a-kind, but I was certainly lucky to have won it. It was more of a being at the right time, at the right place kind of thing, because I certainly know other people that probably deserve it more, like Christine or Alice. To them, I say: na na na na! I have this t-shirt and you don't! And to Mr. Diggle, a very big "thank you" for doing this contest, and for mailing this all the way to Spain.

I'm a winner!

Recently, I won a "Caption Contest" that was organized by Christine, who runs the Daredevil centric blog The Other Murdock Papers. I received the package yesterday and here's what was inside of it...

A copy of the paperback called "Parts of a Hole", that collects the second story arc in Daredevil Vol. 2, written by David Mack and illustrated by Joe Quesada. I had read this before from the library, but I didn't own it.

And a Daredevil comic all in Swedish. It's actually part of Frank Miller's run on the title, so for Christine to have parted with this, it probably means that she has three other copies of it. I'm not sure you can see it very clearly on the photo, but Daredevil is saying "Nej! Sluta... Sluta." Typical sexist Daredevil, calling women "slutas".

*looks up the translation* Oh, that's not what it means? My bad.

Inside the package there was also some Swedish chocolate (currently in the fridge, trying to un-melt itself back together) and a letter from Christine assuring me that there was neither swine flu or anthrax in the package. Good to know!

So yeah, thank you Christine! And everyone else, make sure to check out her blog, specially if you are a Daredevil fan.
