  3. Oh that? That’s easy. It’s a firetruck.


  4. I’m a fireturck!


  5. Same here, mykeyFinn. And, I have several more to collect from their homes.
    Easy one again this week. I hope I get this one. I need a new t-shirt.


  6. Yeah, I love these things.


  7. Firetruck…..I thought it was a juice-harp :p


  8. so if we win we get a 50 ft high bottle of mtn dew voltage?


  9. LOL Graham,

    I guess it’s possible. If you win you will know if the swag comes in a box or a flat bed truck!


  10. This is absoultely the best portrait of Sensi Magnitro Tron ever. It caputures the primitive attraction of his sensative mouth as he awaits something to slide across and over him. As rough as he is one cannot ignore his highly deveo,lpod sensory highway. A pivital moment to meditate on.


  11. @John, that description is a bit unnerving 😉

    @Graham, If I win, I’m hoping for the snowboard featured on their website, because I don’t really have anywhere to put a 50ft tall bottle.


  12. Are you kidding me? Who cares if you have no place for a 50′ tall bottle of MD. It would be awesome just to have. Bring it to the beach and ruin the sun for a whole bunch of people. Even though it’s not the prize it entices me to want to enter now.


  13. i know the answer upcorse but i do not need it last time i drinke that thing it giveed me allergy i had over 1000 red points on my body


  14. *Mountain Dew Voltage should not be used to power your computer.


  15. Are you kidding, take a 50 foot bottle of Mountain Dew to the Beach to ruin sun? It would be so much better if used for a chugging contest.
