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.

    Definitely Boyz II Men. Still listen to them occasionally. I was just saying to my husband yesterday that boy bands are a right of passage when you’re growing up!

    Oh my, I LOVED NSYNC with a passion! I mean, my heart still drops when I hear them! While we’re at it, let’s talk about girl bands….I have just two words for you…Danity Kane! I have Making The Band 3 Seasons 1 and 2 on dvd, but you can’t buy that in stores. Someone video recorded both seasons with a camcorder! haha! And yes, I still watch it!

    Also, we don’t have a lawn mower so I really hope I get it this week!!! :)

    If I was forced to listen to any of them I’d pick NSync. They seemed to be the most fun to me, and have the better songs.

    I’ve never been a huge fan of boy bands. I do like Justin Timberlake or Timbaland or whatever his name is that was in Backstreet Boys. Well, i like both of those guys, actually, but i can never keep the names straight. Pathetic, right?

    I’m the right age to have love NKOTB as a pre-teen. I hadn’t thought about them in years but when I saw One Direction on SNL a few weeks ago, I thought they could use some dance lessons from NKOTB!

    Not sure about a band….possibly Tom petty and the heart breakers. For a person…..it would have to be Garth brooks.

    Even though I am a boy…..but I am dying for a lawnmower (moving into our first house in a month and no lawn tools yet)….I’ll admit my deepest, darkest secrets. I use to listen to NSYNC in middle school…but let’s be honest, who didn’t?

    I think I should get this lawnmower just for telling the internet world this!

    “OH BOY!” I was slightly into NKOTB but nothing compared to my sister’s Teen Beat inspired interest.
    Does Crowded House count though? They are brothers so that technically makes them a boy band…or did. Now they are more of an old man band.

    Do I have to pick? I could easily listen to NKOTB, BSB, One Direction, or The Wanted all day….and I might be a little embarrassed that I just admitted that…
