The Nov/Dec 17th 2017 'What The Heck Is It? Game Is Over!
November 1, 2017 IMPORTANT! MAD MAGAZINE is moving to Burbank, California at the end of the year, so read about this game carefully. This November/December 2017 WTHII game runs all of November and ends midnight Sunday December 17th EST!
Send your guess to: gizwizbiz@aol.com
Hopefully I'll be able to send out the normal number of Jan/Feb MAD magazines - for up to 36 winners. But you must check to see if you're a winner right after I post the names on December 18th! MAD NYC will close on December 22nd because of the holidays and I won't have MADs to send out after that date or a mail room to send them from, so I must hear if you're a winner before December 22, 2017. (I'll Tweet a reminder, so follow me on Twitter @thegizwiz.) And be sure to sign your entry with a name, initials, something - or it won't be counted. Every month about two dozen people don't sign their entries, so please sign yours!
There's the photo above! Do you know what it is? To play, come up with the right answer, or make up a silly, or inventive answer that we find funny or clever that describes the gizmo shown. IMPORTANT UPDATE. We are giving away up to three dozen autographed copies of MAD Magazine OR it may be one of a 35+ year old Alfred E. Neuman picture. (Up to 12 for the correct answer, up to 24 for cute, silly answers.) The reason for the change? MAD is moving to LA and before anyone was in the office arrived Thursday AM 12/14 the movers had packed up and shipped everything in the stockroom, including all the Jan/Feb 2018 MAD's and sent them off to a warehouse! I'm trying to get copies returned to me to send out! So your prize in the US or Canada only is either Jan/Feb MAD or the Alfred E. Neuman photo, whichever is available 12/18.) Remember, the judges have very small attention spans, so make sure entries are no more than 25 words, and please make just one guess per entry. You can enter more than once, and you can enter even if you've won in the past. But you must sign your entry with a nickname, screen name, fake name, or even real name, but sign it! If it's not signed, it's not eligible. IMPORTANT: People seem to like playing WTHII, so I'll keep the game going from Gizneyland. But new game rules & prizes start January 1, 2018. I'll post those details later on. For now, see below "cute, clever" answers for details.
