3 Creative Responses, 1500 Free Business Cards

Posted on Monday, October 26th, 2009

It wasn’t hard to find out who wanted to “play the game” in this week’s giveaway. I had 3 great responses that I feel deserve the prize of 1500 free business cards from BizCard.com. A couple in particular put extraordinary effort into their comments. Props to you guys! The question posed was “Why should you win the 1500 free business cards from bizcard.com?” Here are the 3 winning responses:

I currently have business cards that have a picture of me on them… first of all, it seems incredibly arrogant to have this picture. Also, I appear to be flashing some sort of gang sign. Every time I hand someone a card I have to awkwardly explain what I’m doing. This doesn’t help instill confidence in those receiving the card.

I would use new cards to help strengthen my credibility.… and new cards would also make me feel important. I might even put ‘vintom.com’ somewhere on my card.

Bo Lane told a story…

Johnson was a wee little man, both physically and emotionally. So much so, that when I met him for the first time, I took pity on the poor chap. That’s the reason why I gave him my new business card.

I’m not really sure why I did it but I did. Maybe I wanted him to realize that good people still remain here on earth and that he could call me anytime. Or, maybe it was because he told me that he had just received a large inheritance from his late uncle twice removed and I wanted to take advantage of… I mean, help him through this difficult emotional stage in his life. Either way, he had my business card tightly gripped in his stubby little hand and I was just a phone call away. Little did we know how radically my new business card would change both of our lives forever.

You see, a few hours later, Johnson found himself in a pickle. Literally. Apparently the mob found out that little Johnson was given a large sum of his uncle Tony’s estate — this was the same uncle Tony who borrowed a whole lot of cash from the mob to support his illegal BASE jumping fetish — and they snatched up little Johnson and drove him to Pepin, Wisconsin.

The Pickle Factory, located in the heart of Pepin, was one of the mob’s favorite hideouts. Not only did they enjoy great food, but the view was to die for. In fact, many of those who didn’t agree actually did. But that’s beside the point. Poor Johnson was in trouble and, regardless of the fact that most considered him a weak imbecile, no one deserves to be handcuffed upside down in a vat full of pickle juice in their skibbies. Not only does it smell ridiculously bad, it’s not exactly great skin treatment.

But immediately after he was thrown into the vat, something snapped within Johnson. He was fit to be tied. It was the straw that broke Johnson’s back, and it was the business card that helped Johnson escape. You see, because of the high quality of printing and premier paper that BizCard.com uses, Johnson managed to loosen the business card from his tiny pickled palm and use the corner of the card to pick the lock on the handcuffs. And while all the bad guys were eating and drinking and being merry, Johnson used another corner of the card to cut a circular hole on the side of the glass container, spilling all the pickle juice onto the floor. Within seconds, Johnson was free.

Before anyone could notice, Johnson grabbed his pants and high tailed it to the parking lot. Good thing he kept the business card because he used it to shatter the glass on the back window of one of the mobster’s vehicles, and then used another corner to jump start the car.

I didn’t believe him when he first called me from a pay phone in East Pepin. It wasn’t until I met him later on that day and the smell of pickle was engrossing. I had to believe him. Who wouldn’t?

If it wasn’t for the free business cards I received from BizCard.com and vintom.com, poor ol’ Johnson never would’ve had a chance. Thank you for helping a brother out. You just never know whose life it could change.

Christian laid down some freestyle…

I lost track of time

so I’ll write a rhyme

I love bizcards

1500 will be fine

if I had skill

or my own mag

I’d write a 500 word essay

like Bo Lane — he’s bad

I mean bad like mike Jack did

before he was plastic

before he lost his glove

before he’s in the casket

now that’s dead

and I’m losing hope

I guess I need some bizz

cards, so I can be dope

pass em to my friends

people I meet

the bishop in the bens

and the thugs in the street

I only want cards

to get my hustle on

promote my ministry

flex Gods muscle son!

Great job guys! Thanks to everyone who participated, and a huge thanks to BizCard.com for sponsoring this giveaway.
