Freebies and free stuff

EDIT2: Call the mortician!

EDIT: Apparently this is a contest and they’re only giving away 300 of these. My bad, folks. Apparently I can’t read today.

According to Johnson’s free Melt Away Stress lotion, the solution for too much stress is getting so hot it melts away. No wonder people on tropical islands are always so laid back and relaxed.

EDIT: (in the voice of the Soup Nazi) No hat for you!

I’m not sure how many of you out there need a free Craftsman Tools hat, but here you go regardless! I have quite the weird relationship with hats. Growing up, I never went anywhere without one, but then my head decided to rebel against being constantly covered. I now have a lumpy head that rejects just about any hat I try and put on it.

Oh yeah, you’ll need a code to get there, which is COOLTOOLS

Well folks, for me, I won’t be around for a while for my little freebee interjections, meaning you’ll be getting all Goob, all the time for the next 20ish days on the front page. Just like the old days before he got me and the other additional writers.

Needless to say, sadly, its not going to be for vacation, like these wonderful free Perillo Tours DVDs show. No sirree, I won’t be lounging on a beach anywhere. I’ll be graduating, then driving a 26′ moving truck across the American Heartlands for about 1,000 miles to start a new phase of my own life.

But man, with the scenes from those DVDs that I’ve seen on their commercials? I might have to order these as soon as I move into my new place, because lord knows I’ll need a vacation then…

Man, this free Hannah Montana wake up call is a rip off. It’s just some pre-recorded baloney! Call me crazy, but I think Miley Cyrus should be forced to get up super early and physically make all these calls herself. In fact, to prove that I’m way cooler and more awesome than some annoying teenager, I’ll do just that. Contact me with your free Grandcentral number, a date, and a time and you just might be getting a free Goob wake up call

EDIT: Looks like they are out of samples.

Maybe this coupon for some Downy Total Care laundry detergent will last longer than straight up freebies that Wal Mart usually offers. Of course, since I just jinxed it, that probably won’t happen. Regardless, you have to be happy with a detergent that takes total care of your clothes though. I once bought some half care detergent and my clothes were looking pretty pathetic afterwords.

Almost as pathetic as that joke I just made!

EDIT: No longer available.

Do you have the upcoming start of school date circled a million times on your calendar? Have the kids informed you they’re bored for the millionth time this month yet? Then get them this free GeoTrax DVD and enjoy 30 minutes of peace.

I haven’t the slightest idea what this cartoon is about, though. What do I look like, somebody who watches Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends on Cartoon Network all day long? On second thought, don’t answer that. What I DO know, however, is that I hope this isn’t something that my little brother will get hooked on. Then he’ll beg me nonstop for more videos and I’ll have to buy them, thus making me loose money on this little deal. So here’s to hoping this is a highly mediocre and forgettable DVD!

edit: *cue closing credits on this freeebie*

I don’t like posting downloads often because, well, who really wants to download a freebee, you know? There’s something about opening up your mail box and finding something sitting in it which is a lot more alluring and awesome.

But, when I saw the free audiobook for “The World is Flat” by Thomas Friedman, I had to jump on this one. I read the book about a year or so back and by far, it was one of the more interesting ones that crossed my path. Maybe not what you’d want to read everyday, but it tracks globalization and our changing economy very nicely. Its a nice little primer about how our world is slowly changing.

Oh, and by the way… When you get the e-mail from them about the download, if you don’t want to wait to get the e-mails about the other parts to download? Just change out the number “1″ in file name online for the other numbers, and you can download all of the parts tonight… Be sure to hurry, though… This freebee is only good till August 4th!

I miss being a kid. Sippy cups were awesome. Sadly, I don’t have any more now, but…

Now, I can go get this free sippy cup from Juicy Juice, and you know what will be the first thing that goes in it? Budweiser. While its still all American.

This sippy cup had better get here fast before the InBev deal goes through…

I won’t lie that I’m biased with this upcoming election, but I’ve sworn that I’ll leave that off of the front page here.

So, in the spirit of being unbiased, I realized that just sharing this free Obama button from MoveOn.org, would be partisan of me. To express the HIF bipartisan spirit, if you actually go to McCainStore.com, you can send a SASE to them and they’ll mail you a free McCain bumper sticker.

Wow, this reaching across the party lines thing isn’t that hard to do at all now…
