Pens Are In The Mail
written by John Chow on March 12th, 2007
I finally shipped off the John Chow dot Com and 1234Pens.com pens to our February Top Commentators. Keep an eye for them because it should be at your doorsteps by next week. The Abit watch was also shipped as well.
1234Pens.com is making me a new batch of John Chow dot Com promotional pens to do with as I please. Now I need to come up with more contest ideas. Speaking of contest, check back in a few hours. There’s going to be a good one. Wait until you see what I’m giving away.

Contest Ideas: The funniest comment, the most esoteric comment, …
How’s that?
Reply to this commentThat would take forever to sift through all of the comments on this site!
Reply to this commentSure thing, perhaps he could use some ‘nominate’ plugin for it to let us do the work though
Reply to this commentHe had the Digg style voting plugin for a while, but I don’t think it supplied any data…
Reply to this commentNice pens, I always run out of the damn things! Its like people keep stealing them.
Reply to this commentThat’s really some packaging involved in shipping these pens away, aren’t they? Such big envelopes!
Reply to this commentThose types of envelopes have a lot of bubbles inside to keep things from breaking… you really can’t fit THAT much inside of them.
Reply to this commentYeah, I’ve used them for work and you’re right, the bubbles take up a lot of room…I love popping them while I’m waiting in line, so I’m not sure how useful they are by the time I pay for them.
Reply to this commentI was thinking that, I wonder how far and wide he is having to ship them??
Reply to this commentyeah now that i think of it, it’s probably more of a hassle then it’s worth, even though it’s bringing a lot of comments
Reply to this commentDoes your next contest have anything to do with an iPod device?
Reply to this commentO, O, I know! It’s going to be an iPod device!
Reply to this commentDid you mean the vibrating one?
Reply to this commentCool. I hope it’s as cool as my Bloggers Bracket. Hmm…it IS on the evil one’s blog. Probably an evil plan. Hmmm…bring it on!
Reply to this commentWe all know the evil one will win … he’s just too evil not to find out a way to get people to vote for him
Reply to this commentIn fact, he has already won you over, hasn’t he?
Reply to this commentNo, the contest is on his site!
Reply to this commentNice carpet. Is that berber with a half inch padding?
Reply to this commentI have no idea.
Reply to this commentsomething tells me he doesn’t really care either!! If it’s not evil
and doesn’t earn him money…He’s not too interested…haha… 
Reply to this commenthaha…wow, that’s kinda scary
Reply to this commentLooks like berber to me, but as to how you could even guess the amount of padding… You’re clearly more skilled than I
Reply to this commentWhat a random question! Do you want one for yourself?!
Reply to this commentim definitely winning a pen this month
Reply to this commentWe don’t even know what the contest for the pens will be, or if it will even be this month. Easy now
Reply to this commentThis wasn’t a monthly contest!
Reply to this commentoh, I thought he gave out pens to his top commentors monthly.. im a newbie around here
Reply to this commentThanks John. I was beginning to think you didn’t like me
Reply to this commentHi Jane, I see your back on the top commentors list after a very brief period of absense, fingers recovered now have they?
Reply to this commenthahaha…well Jez, I’m juiced up and ready to go!! I’ve been on a few trips where iinternet accesibility wasn’t the greatest. But don’t fret, I here to play again.
Reply to this commentI was wondering when we would see these!
Reply to this commentYou and Jane are on the list now. When you guys need something to sooth your fingers please let me know.
Reply to this comment
Well, what did you have in mind?
Reply to this commentSelling you the snake oil.
Reply to this commentI need something, I need something!!!
Reply to this commentThis sounds kinky….
Reply to this commentI was referring to the fact that you guys were on the top commentators list again. You fingers must be tired by typing all these comments. You guys need the snakes oil.
Reply to this commentAbout a week or so for shipping? *Laughs. Be patient!
Reply to this commentsee what, my fingers in action or the pens??? If pens, I was wondering the same thing. If fingers, well, no one really saw them in the first place
Reply to this commentI meant “see the pens” - I think visiting this site so often has made all of our minds dirty!
Reply to this commentOk, time out. I need to brush up my Engrish.
Nothing kinky from an old fart, Saman. 
Reply to this commentLOL…ok, this is getting way off topic from the original thread…How did we ever get to kinky old farts???
Reply to this commenttoo bad if i win one because i always lost my pens when im at school:) haha
Reply to this commentCool, that’s mine on top of the pile
At least you can’t easily make out the address. Otherwise other people might take to sending me free stuff… 
Reply to this commentlol you have to be careful for that
Reply to this commentcoool I can’t wait to get my watch!
Reply to this commentVery Cool John !! Cant Wait To Get Them
Reply to this commentI had this crazy idea, what if this 1234pens.com provide this kind of service:
Reply to this commentthey offer corp, ent. memberships to big companies where the companies can generate custom codes and offer free pens to their visitors. It’s like advertising for them and good business for 1234pens.com
Heh, you mean you’d like a free endless supply of pens?
Reply to this commentWhy don’t you email them - you might get some for free!
Reply to this commentToo bad my name was on the top commentators’ list for only few hours when the first few top commentators name got recycle after 5 days. But then it came down to mine and it was gone too. But pens, I can pass it this time.
Reply to this commentYou can’t compete with the rest of us spammers!
Reply to this commentSAY IT LOUD! SAY IT PROUD! I will live it up for my 5 Days!
Reply to this commentIt’s not just about the pens…it’s about the interactions with people you have here.
Reply to this commentVery true! I joke about spamming, but it really is about the community!
Reply to this commentFor sure!!! (wait was that just spam)
Reply to this commentI agree! You can’t start C-ommunity without the same letter you start C-ommentators
Reply to this commentHm, why there are so many blank comments up there? Comments overloaded?
Reply to this commentWow, I want it one too
this sound interesting
Reply to this commentCan’t have too many pens.
Reply to this commentLet me rephrase that - you can’t have too many pens that actually work - as opposed to all the crappy ones I have.
Reply to this commentI once again have to comment you on how good of an idea this way, to give out free pens
Reply to this commentI want a pen!
