“The 12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaway: Day 10
Thank you, we have a winner – this contest is now closed. Congratulations to faithful Macenstein reader Uncle Miltie!
On the Tenth Day After Christmas, Macenstein gave to you (or, more accurately, gave you a chance to win…) A Logitech diNovo Keyboard Mac® Edition !
Play your cards right, and those could be YOUR hands! (Assuming you’re a woman, or a man who lotions).
Well, I’ll be honest. When this one came in I seriously contemplated keeping it for myself and pretending one of you guys won it, but I’m just too damn honest (or… am i?).
🙂
The Logitech diNovo Keyboard Mac® Edition looks awesome with its ultra-slim profile, piano-black finish, and brushed-aluminum palm rest designed to perfectly match the design aesthetic of your Mac desktop or notebook, and the comfortable, fluid, and silent keys are designed to make typing a dream compared to those clackety chicklet keyboards you may be used to using. And best of all, the thing is wireless, so assuming you have an 8 foot monitor, you can use it from across the room and type in the relative comfort of your sofa or Craftmatic Adjustable Bed.
To enter: Since the diNovo Keyboard is designed for typing, and you usually type words, simply tell us what your favorite word in the whole wide world is (sorry, “Gravitas” has already been taken by Kiefer Sutherland) . Winners will be picked randomly 7 days later and notified (kind of like in The Ring, only with less killing… we hope). Open to all readers world-wide. Good luck, and thanks for reading Macenstein! (Oh, and be sure to enter ALL our “12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaways!)
Please note: Comments may take a while to show up, please do not double-post. Thanks!

Gotta go with ‘Cynosure’, meaning ‘a person or thing that is the center of attention or admiration’. Not to describe myself, but because it has a cool pedigree:
Late 16th cent.: from French, or from Latin cynosura, from Greek kunosoura ‘dog’s tail’ (also ‘Ursa Minor’ ), from kuÅn, kun- ‘dog’ + oura ‘tail.’ The term originally denoted the constellation Ursa Minor, or the star Polaris that it contains, long used as a guide by navigators.
Eloquence. Because I wish I had some. 🙂
definitely “cockface” 🙂
boobies 😀
FOOD!
It would be “cool”.
