That’s right, my little chili peppers. I’m hosting a red hot giveaway.
How’d you like to get your hands on…
A RAINBOW STRIPED SOCK MONKEY?! This dude is, like, 30 inches long!
I know! It’s exciting! You may even be thinking, “Leslie, I can’t wait to win a sock monkey. I’ve got to have one right now!” In that case, you can click to visit my Etsy shop and buy one, because I’m all about convenience. Or, you can just go ahead and try to win this one for free! Here’s how to enter, in haiku.
in a comment on this post
for a chance to win.
in your comment on this post
for an extra chance.
Then, you should come back here everyday for The Daily Haiku. Or not. I mean, you don’t have to do it to win the monkey. I just think it’s a really good idea. I mean, I work really, really hard on them and sometimes they’re funny and stuff.
I’ll randomly select the sock monkey winner on November 1st. I’ll post the results here and notify the winner via e-mail, so be sure to use a valid e-mail address when filling out the comment form below. It’ll be hard to tell you that you’ve won without it. Also, keep in mind that in order to receive the sock monkey, you will need to share a mailing address with me. It’s not a virtual monkey. It’s a real sock monkey that will come and live with you if you win, even if you live outside the U.S.
Good luck, monkey lovers! Go forth and comment. Also, click that big pink button down there for a crapload more giveaways.

Stuff You Should Do
You know, Stuff.
So my first thought is George, but I feel like something more exotic like Raifiki is in order, but if I have to pick just one…hmmm…Andronicus?
Let’s name him Champ.
He is so cute! The girls and I watched a movie with a sock monkey in it last week. Sock monkies keep popping up every where I look. (Zazzle too) Adorable.
I’m going to go ahead and name him Harold. He definitely looks like a Harold to me.
I’d name him Sheldon! He’s adorable! I’d love to win him for my daughter!
The name for this sock monkey should be: Goobriel (its my son Gabriel’s nickname).

Sydney the Sock Monkey has a very nice ring to it.
need it, gotta have it.
What a fantastically snazzy Monkey! I have thought long and hard about naming him. Working on the assumption that everything sounds snazzier in Welsh, I consulted with my whacky Welsh coworker and together we have decided to call him Enfys, which is Welsh for rainbow. Now, it is written Enfys, but actually pronounced En-vis. My coworker went into a long-winded rant about how this makes perfect sense, but his accent is so intense as to render his speech nearly incomprehensible to the untrained ear and I was really pretty tired so I kind of zoned out a little. I did, however, pen the following haiku which I feel adaquately expresses my confusion:
Why write one letter
And read it as another?
Welsh does not make sense.
Thanks for the giveaway, and take care.
boldnessbe(at)gmail(dot)com
my husband said jim…aka ‘gym’…he’s a little corny
