I'm doing another giveaway!!

EDIT: I don't mind shipping overseas, so don't let that stop you from entering.

Undeniable proof of this book's current presence in my house

YES IT'S TRUE.

This time I have in my possession a number of copies of the newest collection of stories written by autie parents: Wit and Wisdom From the Parents of Special Needs Kids. I actually have quite a few (relatively) so I can give a bunch away.

As with any giveaway, naturally there are rules that you must follow. Each rule must be strictly adhered to or your entry will be disqualified!

THE RULES

1. Subscribe to this blog via Google Friend Connect
2. "Like" my new Facebook page
3. Follow me on Twitter
4. Create a reddit account and upvote everything I've ever said and submitted
5. Go through each and every post on this blog and submit them all individually to StumbleUpon
6. Go to my klout profile and give me +K in any topic that I have influence in, particularly Sarah Palin and Beyonce, because I take those the most seriously
7. Record a video of yourself dancing a jig while singing "I want the book, please!" and upload it to YouTube
8. Show up at my front door and personally ask me for a copy of the book while dancing a jig and singing "I want the book, please!" (No, you can't stay here when you're done, you have to go straight home)
9. Every time you do any of these things, you must tweet that you have done it, using the hashtag #WhoringForAutism, in order to verify yourself. Don't forget the hashtag!! Without it your entry will be disqualified.

HA HA, no... I'm just kidding, those aren't the rules. However, I did consider stopping this post right there and seeing how many of you took me seriously. No, actually, I don't have any rules. Just leave a comment here so I know you're interested; I'll probably pick some winners the same way I did last time. Because that was not only fun, but also educational and a creative learning experience for the child.

I do have one request, though, and that is that you go to Amazon and leave a (good!!) review of the book. Lynn seems to think that's important and who am I to question Lynn? Amiright??????

Update: Sat 10/15 7:15pm PST: I'm turning off comments now. I'm sorry if you were too late and missed the chance to enter, but you can always buy one!!!

I'd love a copy! And I'd even post a review! On my blog! And Amazon! And I won't even use any exclamation points!

Unless it's just *that* awesome.

Hey - I LOVE that book!! Shouldn't it be up for some kind of award? Just sayin' (and I wonder how many people will still follow those instructions - cuz, I'm thinking you don't want that many stalkers at your door...)

I'd love this. Mostly because I need some good stories to read that don't live in my computer.

I'd love a copy! And I do some of those anyway. I follow you on SU and when I see your shit, my thumb goes waaaaaay up.

However, I don't dance. Or do windows. But I *WILL* fake an orgasm for one!!

Probably should have continued reading after rule# 9 before I went & started doing all those things. I'm not entering though. I live too far away to make anyone ship anything to me.

A friend of mine called me yesterday to remind me of the name of the book. She was on her way to Barnes and Noble to get it. Barnes and Noble. Bless her blond heart.

HAHAHA! Halfway through your rules, I said "No effing way. I don't want anything that bad." And I said this out loud. Because of this...the two people on the other side of the room are making fun of me as I type this comment. So, thanks for that.

I think my embarrassment should be worth two entries.

You totally missed an opportunity there - definitely should have posted the addendum on the next day's post. Then you could have created a post about all the crazy videos you got.

This book looks like it would be a great (and relevant to our time) book on parenting our little Aspies!

Also, I'd totally be down with reviewing it once I read it. I'll even blog about it :)

I ordered a few copies of the book from the link Lynn sent contributers and even paying through the nose for express delivery I still have had to wait nearly a month for the book and it isn't expected for a few weeks yet!!!

On top of that, I totally didn't finish reading your post and did everything on your stupid (yes STUPID!!) list until I got to stumble each and every one of your posts. Then I was like, come on!! But I persevered and did the next one which is Klouting. Guess who doesn't know what the fuck klouting is or what the hell it means when I have 16 points or some crap like that.

So yeah, I would totally review it, post blog post after blog post about it, I'd even stumble, klout, reddit and whatever the damn thing if only I could get my hands on a copy!!! I hate living across the pond... **lol**

Pick me, Pick me! If I do happen to be randomly picked, I will read it and pass it on (but not before I make them give me money and then buy a beverage -- of your choice, and then drink it in your honor, I mean, it's only fair). Thanks for sharing.

I want the book...pick me pick me!! I only have two followers, but I'd be more than happy to blog about it! lol! Actually though, I work with a lot of SN parents and would be more than happy to recommend the book (you know, if its GOOD). Just kidding, I'd totally recommend it, especially if its funny because we all need a freaking laugh now and again. Anyhoo, PICK ME. Thanks, :)
