There Can Only Be One

I am immortal
I have inside me blood of kings
I have no rival, no man can be my equal

Woot! Like a freakin’ highlander, Pigasus chops off the competition and wins the ‘Name the Twitter Pig’ contest!

Pigasus has beaten over 30 finalists and 6000+ entries in our Name the Twitter Pig contest! Congratulations, Chris - you've won a sweet 500,000 WoW Gold; split between 10 of your chosen toons! The Pigs wonder what you're going to spend it on first.

Some say Chris is going to buy a few Traveller's Tundra Mammoths.

I think he's going to get himself some WoW TCG mounts like the El Pollo Grande and the Spectral Tiger.

Whatever it is, I'm sure Chris is freakin' happy he submitted Pigasus! Pigasus is now the official name of the WoW Gold Pig Twitter pig. After a long while, he finally has a name. How do you like it, lil guy?

Give it up for Chris and Pigasus, WoW Gold winners!

Pigs of the Same Feather Tweet Together

I'm just totally amazed at how creative the submissions for the Name the Twitter Pig contest were. I mean, I was half expecting some dudes to send in the same name 19,000 times just to win 500,000 World of Warcraft gold but boy was I wrong.

The WoW Gold Pig peeps are so awesome, they sent in tons of witty, funny and well... silly names! And we love all of 'em! Here are just a few of the stuff we gathered and bunched up into categories, along with our comments:

Twitter:

Tweetsalot - We do tweet a lot!
Twiglet - A piglet that tweets? Genetic experimentation huzzah!
Tworker - I don't know what a 'twork' is, but it sure sounds fun

Famous Figures:

Swinestein - E equals PIG squared is the formula for bacon
Hamlet - Shakespeare meets cold cuts
Elvis Pigsley - Uh huh, ain't nothin' but a hound pig~

WoW:

Hogger - Relevant, but that's asking for trouble lol
Epica - Truly EPIC!
Nerfy - Swingin' the nerfbat!

H1N1 Gold Pig - I'm not sure if we want that...

What the pork!?

TasteLikeChicken - Dude, what?
Bob - Seriously, someone sent this in.
PFFFFTT - Words cannot describe how I feel

I'm not sure what the last few entries were trying to communicate, but just keep those creative juices flowing. The WoWGoldPig.com crew totally dig your entries.

Be sure to ask your friends, guildies and family vote for your entry - 500,000 Gold is at stake. Poll ends on July 22, 2009. Good luck, piggies!

500,000 WoW Gold Contest Extended!

Stop the presses! Today is a monumental event in human pig history! NAME THE TWITTER PIG HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO JUNE 30TH! Due to popular demand and one VERY special occasion.

I DIDN'T FORGET MY MOTHER'S BIRTHDAY!

Now am I a cool son or what?

She's can be a bit crazy but she's the bestest mom in the world. She's tough as nails. She also taught me how to stand up to bullies in junior high.

Using a 9-volt battery, a tin can, and lots of butter.

Don't ask.

So I got her a bouquet of roses, a custard cream pie and a nice lil' green sweater (all her favorites). I also brought Amy, a girl I've been going out a while with. I just thought I'd introduce her to my mom, y'know.

With a puff of cigar smoke, she pensively took the presents as I greeted her an obnoxiously loud "Happy birthday, mom!" Was I proud of myself, dude. "Mom, this is my girlfriend, Amy."

She gave her a thorough eye and took another puff of her Cuban cigar.

"Why?" she nonchalantly said.

'Why?' Why!? Why is she my girlfriend? Why is she brunette? Why does she have a tacky shirt on? Why is she female!? Man, that caught me off guard. The rest of dinner was spent in awkward silence and her telling me to eat my vegetables every 6 minutes. Cray-zeeeee!!!

Did I mention that Amy never talked to me after that?

I swear, my mother really drives me up the wall sometimes.

Still, this crazy lady is MY MOMMA. Happy birthday, you old battle ax!



(and no, that's not really her but it's an accurate representation)

You've got another month more to Name the Twitter Pig - don't pass up on the chance to win 500,000 World of Warcraft Gold! Join today!

What would you do with 500,000 gold?

So we're having this contest here, ya see. Name the little porker over to the side and stand a chance to win 500,000 smackin' World of Warcraft gold. You'd have to be CRAZY not to see how easy and awesome this is.

Unless you don't play World of Warcraft. Then you'd just be silly.

My brain sometime does amusing things. Just a while ago it started *thinking*; "what ever would the winner do with all that gold?"

Well, my intrepid little grey matter. That's a good question. In fact, that's an awesome question. What will I ever do without you?

Shrivel up and die, at the very least.

Let's say some dude won the contest. He would most definitely have a problem deciding on what to use his newfound riches on. Dilemma!

Fear not, sports fans. WoW Gold Pig is on the case! As responsible dudes and dudettes, we've thought of this beforehand (like 5 minutes ago). Here are some examples of what our would-be winner can do with 500,000 WoW Gold:

1. Buy 166,665 Snowballs (499,995 gold). Throw them at your whole raid group while in Ulduar. (warning: may or may not get you /gkicked)

2. Gotta catch 'em all! Snag all the vanity pets you can at the Auction House (from 2,000 up to 5,000 gold each) and get the Lil' Game Hunter achievement.

3. We can all agree that one of the first things you'd do with all that gold is GEAR UP in BoE Epics HELLS YEAH! From Armbands of the Construct to Battlelord's Plate Boots, money is not an object (from 900-2000 gold a piece).

And we're just getting started. Just imagine what you can do with 500,000 gold. Join our Name the Twitter Pig contest and win big, dudes!
