Domo-kun Post-Halloween GiveawayNovember 2, 2009![[Domo-kun says Happy Halloween!]](http://www.glogster.com/media/2/3/0/85/3008530.jpg) A couple of weeks ago, Ron Hogan of Galleycat fame happened to stop by my office, and he randomly gave me a box of 15 Domo-kun dolls that he had apparently gotten as a promotion for something or other.* "I don't have space for them," he explained. "Do whatever you want with them."* I hope this is sufficient disclaiming for the FTC. Seriously, I have no idea where these came from. Apparently there are different dolls inside the little identical packages; it's a random assortment. I have no interest in keeping them, and like Ron, I don't have the space. Therefore, I pass them on to you, dear readers. Here's how to enter the contest for one of these adorable little things: 1) Leave a comment telling us why you want one, what you plan to do with it, or anything else entertaining that's vaguely related to 2"-tall Domo-kun figures. Poetry and flash fiction are welcome. Halloween and other autumnal themes are encouraged. 2) This step is important! Email genreville@gmail.com with "Domo-kun contest" in the subject line, and a copy of your comment in the body of the email. This workaround is necessary thanks to our blog software not associating email addresses with commenter names. On November 9 we'll pick our 15 favorite comments and send each winner a randomly selected figure in its original unopened box. You can enter as many times as you like, but you can only win one figure, unless we get fewer than 15 entrants. We're going to be doing more ARC giveaways and other contests soon, so if you think books are better than toys, stay tuned! Posted by Rose Fox on November 2, 2009 | Comments (16)

In response to: Domo-kun Post-Halloween Giveaway Mariah commented: I first saw Domo-kun in the massively viral Internet pic, "Every time you masturbate, God kills a kitten." They were chasing the kitten. It didn't make any sense at all. And ever since, I've loved them.

In response to: Domo-kun Post-Halloween Giveaway MARY K commented: My desk is already surrounded by mini-weapons of mass destruction, two cublicle playsets from ThinkGeek, a Golden Compass Pez dispenser, and a lot of papers. Domo-kun will fit right in with the rest of my space.

In response to: Domo-kun Post-Halloween Giveaway Elizabeth Lear commented: I'd love one. I'd pop it up to make my kids jump and shriek in surprise. After I got tired of doing that for a week or so, I'd let them run around with it and make up monster stories. They love monsters. As an example, I give you the Monster Edition of "Blues Clues" with my 3-yr old son:

In response to: Domo-kun Post-Halloween Giveaway Jan Kamiya commented: I am a Young Adult Librarian in Hawaii and I LOVE Domo-kun. Domo pic on my locker, Domo backpack, and a huge Domo plushie on my desk. Co-workers hug him when they need a smile on a tough day. :) I would love another little Domo to keep my big Domo company.

In response to: Domo-kun Post-Halloween Giveaway IVA-MARIE PALMER-STANIS commented: Not to go all petulant teenage know-it-all on you, but I knew about Domo Kun long before he had promotional tie-ins at 7-11 and Target, and before he had book deals. And I loved him even then.

In response to: Domo-kun Post-Halloween Giveaway Ellie V commented: Domo makes me happy. He is the only thing that keeps me smiling while I'm at work. I have a Domo mousepad, Domo calendar and small Domo plush inside my circular pen holder. These Domo items keep me sane and in my own happy little Domo world while slaving away at my sad, horribly white-walled desk while being forced to listen to horrible music by coworkers.
