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!”
    Were the Beatles a boy band or were they too old? What’s the age cut off? How about the Beach Boys? Again, were they too old? I’m sure they are now! How about “Good ‘ole Boy Band?”

    No comment on the boy band. Could totally use a mower though, my wife and I are closing on a house in 3 weeks and we will have an acre of land to care for (and for our dog to romp in)!

    Hands down, all-time fave boy band is *NSYNC.

    My first concert ever, too. Sixth row seats. Sixth-grade me nearly died of happiness (and 25-year-old me still gets giddy when I remember being *this close* to Justin).

    And ARE there still boy bands? I don’t know, I’ve been buried in little ones for most of the decade. It’s hard to imagine anybody competing with my 5th grade passion for NKOTB though. (swoon!)

    My first love was Joey from NKOTB. I met him about 12 years ago at the mall and I cried hysterically. It was one of the most embarassing moments of my life.

    My all time favorite “boy” band is the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem.. These Irish “boys” made my heart sing, and I was thrilled to death many years ago to even get to meet one of them.
    My new favorite boy band is another Irish group called “Flogging Molly”.. these boys play Irish punk rock…(yes, I’m getting wilder in my older days! ha!)

    OH BOY!!!

    I was a pretty die hard 98 Degrees fan – in fact, they were the first concert I ever went to. And I’m not sure if you can consider them a boy band, but the first CD I ever asked for (at age 7) was the Beach Boys. And I did a smashing rendition of Surfin’ USA on my sister’s aligator shaped see-saw complete with beach ball, swim suit, and scrunchie.

    I hope there are no videos. ;-)
