Freebies and free stuff

I’d make that joke about the itch you can’t scratch or something like that for this free Calagel sample, but quite honestly? My brain has decided to take the day off… Not a good thing, seeing I’m headed into work in about half an hour…

I think the only thing that would make this free Energizer Hearing Aid Battery sample even cooler is if they sent a pair of the bunny slippers they show. Or even just a plush bunny. I’ve got a catapult that I could use that just keeps on going and going and going…

My cats are spoiled rotten. Seriously. And now even more so with my wife gone on her internship for the summer. You see, while she’s around, they get to sleep with us maybe one night every other week. Now? Every night! When she’s around? Wet food every other week or so. Now? There was a 3-4 day span where that’s all they got while we ran low on the dry food.

So when my wife comes back in another three weeks, well, I’d better let her spoil them with a free sample of this oven baked pet food. After all, a furry revolution in our house wouldn’t be a good thing…

How is it Sunday night already? (ed: oops) I even had Friday off, yet I still feel like I got nothing accomplished over the weekend. I’m going to blame Ronald McDonald. I saw a creepy McDonald’s billboard on Thursday, and my life hasn’t been the same since. (I was driving, so I didn’t get a picture – sorry!)

Thanks to Nature Made, you’ll never have an ailment again! Unless you’re naturally accident prone, like yours truly. I just got back from the drugstore and it looks like they don’t have any invincibility pills….yet. It would have been perfect timing, since I tripped on the curb on my way home. Twice.

The page for these free Stayfree samples doesn’t spell out exactly which samples will come, so it’ll be a mystery freebie! I don’t know about you, but I love a good mystery every now and then. It might explain why I’ve always been a fan of the board game Clue. Unfortunately, nobody will play with my anymore since I make my accusation on the first turn. Law of averages says one of these days it’ll be Colonel Mustard with the lead pipe in the kitchen!

Coupons.com also has a $1 off coupon for any Stayfree product. If that link doesn’t work for you, try this as a backup. If the backup doesn’t work, then I have failed at my job for the first time this week and it’s not even noon on Monday!

When I first saw this free Gretsch guitar poster, I did a double take. And then I had to click through on the site just to make sure that it wasn’t a typo. You see, I thought there was an error: that they added the word “poster.” Sadly, that’s not the case, and I’m never getting that pony either…

This free Move Free sounds quite funny when you say it out loud. Heck, throw in a few repetitions and you’ve got yourself a tongue twister! It’ll start out sounding like free movie and then slowly devolve into brief “fr” sounds punctuated by a cow’s moo.

On an unrelated note, does anybody else put “Dr.” whenever it’s an option on a freebie form? No? Yeah…me neither. *sheepishly looks around*

EDIT: I’m getting a ton of angry emails saying this is UK only, but when I signed up, it took my info for the men’s fragrance and said it’d come to my US address. Perhaps the form doesn’t play well in IE, as I’m using Firefox?

This new free Hugo Boss fragrance made me realize that Hugo Boss has way too many different domains. I think this is the fifth Hugo fragrance sample I’ve posted and it may very well be the first on a plain Hugo.com domain. This probably means nothing to most of you, but my heightened Nerd Sense perked up when I saw this. Is there a fellow nerd working for Hugo Boss? Is s/he sitting around and registering countless domain names in an effort to create a ton of Hugo sites and impress the bigwigs? Am I delusional and in need of sleep? Yep!

This free Dove Advanced Care shampoo is yet another Spanish freebie from Dove. Just like the others, it’s really two freebies in one: Advanced Care Sheer Moisture and Advanced Care Therapy. And with that, I’m off to get some Mexican food for lunch!
