“The 12 Days AFTER Christmas” Giveaway: Day 16
[Thank you, we have our winner, this contest is now closed.Congratulations to faithful Macenstein reader RonW!]
On the Sixteenth Day After Christmas, Macenstein gave to you (or, more accurately, gave you a chance to win…) A 2.1 Stereo Orb Speaker from mStation!

Above: mmmmm…. spherical….
Are you tired of “square”-sounding audio? Then you are gonna love the Orb! This Sleek and Stylish “Made for iPod†Desktop Docking Station/ Speaker System packs a powerful thumping Bass that only a Dedicated Subwoofer can produce. Every Orb includes a 10 Key Remote that allows you to navigate within Playlists from a distance, as well as adjust the Volume ±, Bass and Treble. At approx 8 inches in diameter the mStation 2.1 Stereo Orb is the perfect addition to any Home, Office, or Dorm Room.
The mStation 2.1 Stereo Orb comes in 7 different colors to match your mood (White, Black, Blue, Green, Pink, Red, and Silver) but we hope you’re feeling white, ’cause I think that’s the color your getting (not sure yet).
To enter: Since choosing which color Orb speaker you’d want is one of the toughest decisions anyone could be forced to make, we’ve got a much easier question for you. If you and your entire immediate family were on a sinking ship, and you could only save one of them, who would it be? (C’mon, you know you have a favorite! Mom, Dad, Son, Daughter, Brother, Sis? Don’t worry, they don’t read Macenstein, and we won’t tell). Winners will be picked randomly 7 days later and notified (kind of like in The Ring, only with less killing… we hope). Open to US and Canadian readers only. 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!
Wife!!
My brother, because he’s a super hero and he’d use his superpowers to save the others. Then he’d do battle against the evil Gorgotrons and we’d watch and cheer. Go, brother. Go.
my 6yr old brother who can’t swim.
wow. i honestly could not answer this. Since i am a father of 2, i would have to sacrifice myself for them.
None of the above.
If I could only save one person, that means I also survive so two survivors are possible. Ergo, both of my children as they are the future and I am the past. Thus, my genetic fitness has a higher degree of probability of surviving another generation or more.
Well, Considering the Doc already gave me superpowers, I’d just lift the entire ship to safety.
But if thats not the case, well, I guess my son since he is the last one that can carry on the name. However, my wife would annoy the hell out of Poseiden and he would return her to me postage paid…Thanks P! And my daughter is like a fish in water so she would probably be the one to save us all.
mom
Mom, nobody beats mom’s cooking
Definitely my mom… 😛
My wife.
My dad, I guess
My mom!
My wife!
I would say my dad probably…
I would take care of my newborn son before everyone else, including myself. I’ve listened to the airline emergency message that tells us to make sure we’re okay before tending to our children but I think it’s a load of croc!
Children first!
Toronto, ON
There are advantages to having only a single child — and this is one such case. Her.
Youngest bro
i’d save the green one.
Very easy answer for me. My son.
Mom
My brother, of course!
mom
if he couldnt swim, my brother
I’m an orphan. I thought I was ok with that fact, but thank you for bringing up bad memories. (oh well at least I am not Canadian)
Oh and I would save myself.
probably my almost one Yr old niece Veronica, cause she deserves to live her life for a lot more than 1Yr 😀
That is a tough one. I guess I will say my mom because we talk the most and I would miss that. Sorry Dad and bro 🙁 Now I feel guilty drowning them for a mere prize.
I’d say my sister. My folks are ok, but they’re really old now, and my sister has 2 itty-bitty babies to raise.
Ok, hypothetical question answered. Now, give me the Orb!
My cactus.
I wouldn’t save anyone.
I would go down with the whole family.
The boat…. so i can put everybody inside him again… 😀
AHA!
I’d definitely save my dog! If I must pick a human I’d go with my brother.
Really tough one. My wife I guess. She can’t really swim.
all of them are crazy and they would probably try to kill me to save themselves but if i was able to save any of them it would be my mom.
my son. everyone else can swim
That’s an easy one.
It would be my son.
I would save two by staying behind!
The family dog… or maybe my wife.
“I’m not that strong a swimmer.’ Who’s going to save me?
the dog
Sibling, to carry on the memory of our parents.
That’s a hard question but I have to say my son. He has his life before him to live.
The one who can not swim
Wow, this is kinda terrible to think about. I guess I’d have to go with my younger sister.
youngest daughter
We would all go down together. I think we’ll stay away from boats.
My soon to be wife.
My daughter. Without a question.
My Son
As much as I love my parents, I would save my sister. We are very close.
