Hadn’t thought to do this in a while, so let’s get going on it! Make a comment on any article from NOW (Thursday, July 5th 1:45pm) until Monday, July 9th morning at 9:00am EST and you’ll be entered to win our contest. It doesn’t matter how many comments you make, 1 or 100, you’ll be entered once so everyone has a fair shot. Well, you can’t make 0 comments and still be entered.
We’ll draw the winners Monday morning July 9th and announce the results afterwards. The winner will be notified on our site, and in their email address they signed up with. The winner will receive a secret password that must be used to pick up the gift card, that way the winner can designate anyone to come in and pick it up for them.
Update, As noted in the comments below, we drew and Deception won, but we’ve been unable to send instructions on how to retrieve the card to their email address as it seems the account is closed. Deception, perhaps you only check HiH on the weekends so we’ll give you until Monday, July 16 to contact us, or put in the comments that you will arrange for pick up. If you’d like to not get the card you can say that as well, others have given up their prizes because they won before, or were not able to come pick it up. Otherwise, if we don’t hear from you we’ll have to give it away to another entrant.
Dang, turn the computer off for a few days and see what you miss.
Ichibar is a fine establishment of culinary delight!
I have never eaten at Ichibar, but I would like to.
I love some Ichibar!!! LOL
Now this is a contest worth entering!!
Yes it is, hightx4! The seaweed salad is to die for! Excellent Asian cuisine.
Just knew the answer to my question would be in this mornings paper but no, it wasn’t. Anyone know approximately
what tine the fireworks display will start tonight?
The seaweed salad is great and so is the rock-n-roll!
How was the event last night out at the lake???
I wrote down all our entries on paper slips, cut them out, made a paper airplane and stuffed them inside. I threw the airplane and was going to see who flew out and who stayed in, and when only one entry stayed in they were the winner. But after several attempts I gave up as each time they all flew out. Running out of time, I went with a previous method of throwing them all up in the air and letting them land on the floor. I left the ones that were names up stay on the floor, and picked up the ones with names down and threw them up again. Continued until I had one paper that was name down, and we’ll declare them the winner: Deception!
Congratulations to Deception, winner of $20 gift card to Ichibar. Check your email in a few minutes for instructions on how to redeem.
Deception, upon emailing your instructions, the message bounced back saying the email address has been disabled or discontinued. Please check with your email provider and see if you can reactivate.
Deception is either a smart or a lucky shrew. Disabling or closing an email account after establishing our HiH identity improves your anonymity. Now Deception must risk their identity for a free meal? Maybe someone will come here to tell what they overheard or were told about someone using a gift card at Ichibar?
Well, I bet what happened is they opened up a email account just for the HiH purpose and never used it again. That’s ok to do, but some services will close the account if you don’t use them for a certain time. They should be able to reopen it, but if not what we can do is Deception, send someone to our office and tell us the email address that we have on file for you. Or if you’d like to not get it, we can redraw, I’m sure another person would love the chance to get it!
That is a nice gift! It would be about half my usual meal price what with the soup, salad, entree, sake and, of course, the JAPANESE MASSAGE WITH HOT OIL!
Swampy,
I would have gone more often had I known they offered Japanese hot oil massages. That was funny.
Will Deception to collect their winnings?
I heard from a friend who heard from a friend that the ‘ole Shrew was seen entering the same rehab building as the ex-commissioner. Idea, if Deception fails to collect on their prize by say Thursday, Deception’s prize is canceled and a new contest is held over the weekend.
Does anyone know if Deception has been seen lurking around Ichibar or is he/she still lurking at or in the rehab place? I am only asking to find out if there is a replacement contest for Ichibar this weekend. I would like to win the hot sake with hot oil massage that someone mentioned.
No, we wont do one this weekend because maybe Deception only checks HiH on the weekends? So we’ll give him/her until Monday.
Deception, go by and get your gift you won. Phil is a very straight honest person who will keep your ID secret for you. He will not divulge your true ID. I know, I have won twice. I decided not to enter or comment until the contest was over to eliminate any chance of me winning again. Do the right thing! Either go by or give the others courtesy by posting you do not care to have the gift.
Rumor has it Deception, aka The Shrew, has been seen under the ruin creek overpass on I85. Deception and Ira Gershwin were sharing a sterno can to heat a MRE of SOS. Deception was unaware that the rehab place is short term and he/she is lacking a high-end family connection to offer 3 squares and shelter. Beside Phil knows Deception would need until Saturday to escape rehab and get to the library to check email. It is all very clear to me.
Sorry to all the losers….but it seems that I always win…in everything I do. LOL!!! I would like Phil Hart to donate the $20 certificate to someone of his choosing, preferable someone in need. They don’t have to be a member of the HiH cult but maybe he knows of a particular individual who would love a hot Japanese style dinner. I was thinking maybe donate it to ACTS but that certainly wouldn’t touch the # of people they need for a serving so Phil, THANKS and do what you see fit with the certificate. I am currently packing for the Beach until the end of July!!! Thanks to HiH…and haters…continue to do what you do!!! When I return I am quite sure a murder or two, numerous breaking/enterings will have taken place and I will know I have returned to good ole’ “H” town when I start seeing more and more litter on the side of the road!!!
Thanks to HiH….and Phil Hart!!!
Deception, nice gesture. I’m glad to know you are not under ruin creek overpass as someone “reported” elsewhere on HiH.
Enjoy your time away from Henderson. By the way it is lower case h-town, the upper case H-town located is south east Texas.
Why has Deception been missing for a week only to appear on Saturday morning? Is it true that Deception got out of rehab too late Friday to get to the library to check his email? I guess only his/her rehab counselors know the whole truth.
