Exclamation Tin Foil Hat Contest ($35 in gift certificate prize)
Alrighty folks, I got approval from Angie to sponsor a Tin Foil Hat contest.

Fun Stuff:
*This contest is sponsored by me
*Winner will be chosen by our 10 year old DD
*1st place Prize is a $20 gift certificate from Amazon (it will come in electronic format to your email so you don't have to share your mailing address with me. Easier that way on everyone) Great way to get more preps! Woohoo!
*2nd place Prize is $10 gift certificate from Amazon
*3rd place Prize $5 gift certificate from Amazon

Details:
*You must construct your own original tin foil hat design. The more creative you are, the greater your chances are for clinching the coveted prize! No cheating.
*You must upload a photo of you (or friend/family member) wearing the tin-foil hat (you get extra points if your hat stays on when you're fighting off bears/zombies/etc)
*Along with a photo, you must outline the benefits/special features/capabilities/ etc and any other interesting information about your original design.
*Any entries not containing all of the above will NOT be judged. You gotta be convincing!

Contest will start TODAY (6/17) and all photos must be uploaded by noon (est) next Friday (6/24). My DD will pick a winner and we will post it no later than 6pm on 6/24!

Let the creative juices begin to flow!

(If there's a rule or something I forgot please let me know.)

I don't know where you're transplanted from but here in the states that's illegal.

I found that picture on the internet a few years ago and saved it. Only thing I can figure is if you know you'll be the first to pass out, be sure you're the last to arrive.

I don't think that's his sword. I think it's his star wars laser wand.

Does the hat have to be made out of tinfoil?

Is duct tape an acceptable addition to tin foil or does it reduce the effectiveness of the foil?

Your tinfoil hat, in all fairness, must be at least 70% tinfoil. That gives you some leeway for gadgets and such lol. I can't wait to see what you all come up with!! Get the kids involved.. fun project for the whole family!!!

Reminds me of a saying:

Sometimes you find your Night in Shining Armor is a retard in a tin foil suit.
