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! It has to be Boyz II Men because that’s the only “boy band” music I owned back in the day. (I did wrestle it out of my husband, though, that NKOTB was his first concert, haha!)

    I was born in ’81, so of course New Kids were my first love. Then in high school it was Backstreet Boys until *gasp* I actually switched to NSync by senior year.

    OH BOY! I can’t say I was into any boy bands, but what I want to know is why there isn’t equal hype about girl bands? Come to think of it, I can’t really name many. Spice Girls? (Assuming this genre is intended to appeal to teens n’ tweens.)

    I love Il Volo. It is an Italian trio of boys. They are amazing. Seriously. Check them out. When they sing “O Sole Mio” you can’t help but smile.

    N’sync although I wasn’t stalker crazy about them. Only ‘sing in my car at the top of my lungs unless I’m at a stoplight’ type crazy.

    Must admit – I listen to audiobooks in the car most of the time so I have no idea who ‘One Direction or The Wanted’ are.

    I was too young for NKOTB, although my best friends and I had all sorts of NKOTB paraphernalia as little kids because the older ones liked them. Otherwise, N*Sync and BSB all the way!

    OH BOY! My all-time favorite is definitely Boyz II Men! We did a lot of slow dancing in Jr. High to “On Bended Knee” and I still do some sweet moves in my car when they come on the radio. I’m not really digging the new guys – they just don’t have the same heart-melting sensation as B2M. But then again – I’m not exactly 14 anymore, either.

    OH BOY! Big eye roll while fondly recollecting my nephew: “The Backseat Boys is my favorite!” But since I’m , ahem, older, I have to go with a classic: the Beatles.
