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!”. Absolutely 2gether. Even though it was a mock group I enjoyed their cd. Still sing “you + me = us” to my wife randomly.

    OH BOY! Backstreet Boys! The first concert I ever went to was their Millenium tour (they descended into the stadium on hoverboards with visible wires). My poor father waited in line behind hundreds of rabid women to get the tickets for my Christmas present and then the old sport sat through the concert with me and my friend Amy.

    I absolutely loved the Backstreet Boys back in the day….and still do! I have seen them twice in concert in my lifetime, and one of those times I sat in the FRONT ROW! Yea, it was the Millennium Tour, and yea it was awesome!! My favorite was Nick. He was so blond and so sweet! But I also have a spot for Howie in my heart. Oh, and I would also tape anything on TV they would do like TRL and the MTV Music Awards. I have those VHS tapes somewhere…

    LOVE THE BSB!

    Yes, yes I did roll my eyes while reading the question and literally laughed out loud when I read “did you roll your “eyes”. :)

    By favorite boy band would be back street boys when I was about 12, lol. Not that big into boy bands these days. I spend most of my time singing YoGabaGaba songs anyway :/

    Boy would my husband love that mower though. Ours just died on us after a year of duct tape holding it together. We cant afford to buy a new on at the moment, and are having to (over) pay the neighbor kid to mow for us.

    I want to say Boyz II Men, cause motown philly is AWESOME, but NKOTB was my first concert – the twins down the street had a few extra tickets, so my mom and their mom thought i ought to go along. I think they edge the boyz out by a hair.
