Fab Freebie: Boys In The Yard

***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries – see who won below!***

After lots of love proclamations for NSYNC, NKOTB and more, random.org has survived boy-band-mania and crowned our winner as… Megan G (who says she loves the original boy band…The Beatles). Congrats Megan!

In the spirit of a week of cleaning & organizing, who could use a new lawn mower to tidy things up outside? Well, someone’s getting this puppy (valued at $339) thanks to Lawn-Boy. It’s self propelled, easy to start, and features a “Blade Stop” system that allows you to turn off the blades without killing the engine, which comes in handy if you’ve got a lawn frequently peppered with sticks or toys (not that I’m speaking from experience or anything).

Lawn Boy Giveaway

  • PRIZE: The Lawn-Boy 10605 Mower
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “OH BOY!” and tell us…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … your favorite boy band of all time. Are you digging the new guys (One Direction, The Wanted)? Or do the ones from back in the day (Backstreet Boys, NSYNC) still get you going? How about the really old school ones (NKOTB, Boys II Men, Menudo)? Or have you rolled your eyes at this whole question?
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, May 2nd at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: The United States (although we do try to wrangle as many international giveaways as possible)
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…

Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info. Pics courtesy of Lawn-Boy.

    OH BOY! Going to see NKOTB and BSB at Fenway last year was probably the highlight of my LIFE! I am not embarrassed that Joey Mac singing “Please Don’t Go Girl” brought me to tears.

    I know this is randomly selected, but after spending almost $200 to get our lawnmower fixed last year, it has already crapped out and I would LOOOOVE to win this one!!

    “OH BOY!”

    I never was into the boy bands until my teenager was into Backstreet Boys, Nsync and O-Town. Then I became a fan.

    OH BOY! My favorite boy band growing up was NKOTB. And if I had to choose between BSB and NSYNC, then I would choose NSYNC. Not much of a fan of the boy bands. Don’t even get me started on One Direction. Oh my.

    It was the Backstreet Boys! I remember when their song, “I Want It That Way” came out, I recorded it onto a cassette tape and listened to it over and over while doing homework. Good times.

    I’ve seen the Backstreet Boys in concert four times…once with NKOTB, which was seriously the most awesome thing ever.

    OH BOY OH BOY!!

    I looooved NSYNC!! JC was my favorite with Justin as a close second. I was supposed to go to one of their concerts in high school and waited outside the arena for a looong time to buy tickets then the date changed and it conflicted with church camp (which was paid for and a lot more $$) and I missed out. Sad sad times.

    I just bought a new house and am in need of a mower! I had to borrow my parents’ this weekend. Not an easy thing to lug around!

    OH BOY!

    While I did roll my eyes a bit, back in the day, I leaned toward the NSYNC and Christina duo because Backstreet boys and Britney “were just so” not as talented. Then there was that whole Britney and Justin matching denim outfits thing and I was forced to move on.
