Up for grabs to the winner of the contest is a set of 2 Beer Mugs featuring my Liquor Store's name and the town's crest, and a set of 2 shot glasses with (I'm pretty sure, I'll check later) the same imprinting, and shipped free to the winner via Priority Mail. **Edited to add that I have an unsaleable 48 pack of Maple Bisquettes that will be riding along.**
Now for the basis of the contest. Choose a 4 digit number (if you want, say the number 4, you would choose 0004). Near the end of the contest period, I will have my buddy, Mike, draw a number from a hat, 4 times to coincide with each digit in your answer. Closest guess wins. Tie will be broken by a second round guess and drawing consisting of 2 digits, and repeated until the tie is broken.
Contest will run until 2PM Central time on Friday, June 12, 2009. I promise to stay away from this thread until the numbers are drawn, and hopefully I can hold out until it is time to see who won. I would appreciate replies to this thread to be limited only to guesses for the contest. Thank you.

Tiny Tim's original instructions said "Choose a 4 digit number." Seems pretty clear - one entry per person. That means you don't get to copy the winning entry I've already posted. Good for me; too bad for you.
I'm going with 1933....

Numbers are now drawn and recorded. Got a few days left to enter. Hoping to reveal the winner on Saturday morning when I arrive here at "work" ( :D )
I do have to correct the description on the beer mugs...instead of the town crest, it is a picture of the old town mascot, what we call the "little German man". The shot glasses have the crest on them.
Thank you everybody for your entries. This has gone over much better than I anticipated.
This is going to be just like waiting for Christmas and not getting any sleep wondering what the presents are, except here it is waiting to see if our name was drawn.
Well, I guess it has become time to announce the numbers drawn and, more importantly, the winner of the mugs, shot glasses, and bisquettes.
Numbers drawn were: 2 2 8 3
And the winner is.................................meatgeek. Congratulations. Please PM the address where you would like to receive your USPS Priority Mail package.
Thank you to everybody who entered.

Actually I was thinking of a song by a group from a long time ago called Sparks. The song was about getting a present, being all excited, opening it up, finding out that it needed batteries, which weren't included, then getting upset and throwing the present down the stairs, at the wall, etc. to the final note "Hey Kid, Batteries Not Included!" :D
Congrats Meatgeek.
Thanks Tiny for the contest.
