So what did he guess?
Phil @ May 5th 2006 1:45PM
Sex wax? Hmm...
kaybee @ May 5th 2006 1:56PM
yeah, what was the correct guess that he made?
erik @ May 5th 2006 1:56PM
I love sex wax, especially the quick humps! (Its for surf/skimboards for those that are landlocked)
Eli @ May 5th 2006 2:00PM
The first Ross in the original post guessed:
293. 1) A Shopzilla desk clock and a calculator
2) Marti Gras beads
The next one guessed:
337. A XBOX TShirt.
Probably guy #2 got it.

make him pay shipping !
Eric @ May 5th 2006 2:01PM
Thanks Erik, i was really wondering about that. And yes, we want to know what his guess was!!! Im not searching all damn near 40 pages to find out
scottyd @ May 5th 2006 2:04PM
Mr Zog's sex wax? How did surf wax get in there?
... one of these things is not like the other.
james @ May 5th 2006 2:05PM
Dang! I was SURE it was a little Chinese guy after I studied this X-RAY
Dave @ May 5th 2006 2:05PM
An analog picture frame from the guys who make flash memory? Return to sender!

akuma @ May 5th 2006 2:06PM
He guessed An xbox t-shirt, Which since there is an xbox 360 shirt it counts. Also sex wax is used on surf boards and not on people. Still a funny name for a product that is not what it's name suggests.

Jim Day @ May 5th 2006 2:12PM
Because surely all gadget geeks must hang ten on the weekends.
MikeySon @ May 5th 2006 2:16PM
I want one!!!!!!!
Chris L. @ May 5th 2006 2:19PM
damn, no schwag for me, even though I guessed a Skype starter kit with the Sype 30 min calling card in comment #109
steve @ May 5th 2006 2:27PM

Zackoy Watters @ May 5th 2006 2:44PM
toshiba ball point pen
Ross @ May 5th 2006 2:47PM
Damn it, I was the first Ross, for a second there I thought I had won... Oh well... [grumble, grumble]
Avinash @ May 5th 2006 3:12PM
Mr. Zog's Sex Wax is billed as "the best for your stick." It's a double entendre--with a sexual connotation. Goes over real good with the "hip" crowd.
Ross Perkins @ May 5th 2006 3:24PM
Agreed, Ross.

that is the correct link.
Ross @ May 5th 2006 3:38PM
I won! Woohoo thank you engadget. My many months of visiting has paid off. LoL. Thanks for all who entered and better luck next time guys. Engadget rocks.
kelly bell @ May 5th 2006 4:04PM
In all fairness and with no disrespect to Ross, I Kelly Bell should have won this contest. Let me explain: Ross was the 337th person to answer with ?X-box? T-shirt. The actual item in the bag was an ?X-box 360? T-shirt. I had the 456th answer with an ?Engadget? T-Shirt.? Coincidentally the guy who answered 455th at the exact same minute as me said Engadget T-shirt. However he had multiple answers and should be disqualified. Now in the rules of the contest the Engadget crew said and I quote, ?Yes, we're checking thoroughly to ensure fairness -- members of the press are not allowed to win!) You have to be specific -- you can't just say "a press kit!" or "a flash drive!" Yes we were told to be ?Specific!? A regular old Xbox t-shirt could be one from 5 years ago. An X-box ?360? T-shirt could be in as short supply as the actual system was during the holidays!!! What if a Palm Treo 650 and a Palm Treo 700 were in the bag. One person answers with ?Palm Treo? and the other with ?Palm Treo 650.? Who wins this one??? We know the obvious answer?Yes I know were only talkin? T-shirts here and it?s anal but then again so is brain surgery?You said be ?specific? Engadget and I was just that.? What do you readers think? Put yourself in my position!
CajunLuke @ May 5th 2006 4:09PM
I'll buy the TI flash drive from you.
arn @ May 5th 2006 4:12PM
Kelly Bell
- Seriously.
Aria @ May 5th 2006 4:13PM
Sure Kelly, let's all read through each comment and recompare it to the given list of swag so that we can determine who gets to keep a bunch of junk. That's sure worth my time. You have a lot of extra time on your hands..
Bryan @ May 5th 2006 4:20PM
Eventhough Kelly's argument is sound, she came across as a whiner, so I wouldnt give her anything. Ross, I would immediately disqualify for answering in all caps. I would actually give it to Anthony Morreale who answered #6 with "there has to be a microsoft t shirt in there", because I guarantee it says "Microsoft" somewhere on that shirt.
Andrew @ May 5th 2006 4:21PM
I think that Kelly Bell is right on that one; but who's gonna question the final decision. On top of that you can't just repeal the prize from the guy who was announced. I think that because you (Kelly) are right you too should get a prize; no matter how small it be.
Pfft @ May 5th 2006 4:21PM
What the hell is "Marti Gras"? :)
Andrew @ May 5th 2006 4:22PM
how vague is "Microsoft T-shirt" it said to be specific like 22398798458 times in the original post! geez
Ajay @ May 5th 2006 4:23PM
Kelly Bell,
Try clicking on the correct link posted by #22 and you'd see that Ross had said '337. A XBOX TShirt' and not a Xbox 360 T-shirt as you claim. So, I guess he did deserve to win.
kelly bell @ May 5th 2006 4:24PM
Not whining at all Bryan, just stating the facts dude.
jordan @ May 5th 2006 4:27PM
#24 - chill. They chose the winner; be humble and deal with it. When it all comes down to it, they can pick whoever they want. They could amend the rules right now and say "people named kelly bell can't win," and they'd be well within their right. I'm not saying they'd do that, but they judged to the best of their ability and made a group decision. Let it go. ;)
kelly bell @ May 5th 2006 4:28PM
Ajay, re-read my post dude! You got it backwards.
Ryan Block @ May 5th 2006 4:32PM
I'm sorry Kelly, but that's sour grapes. Ross guessed correctly with Xbox t-shirt; he was obviously not referencing an original Xbox shirt since we couldn't possibly be giving away 4 year old swag on a 2 year old web site. I took your entry into consideration but Ross won fair and square. Thanks for participating!
Best, Ryan
SideSwipe @ May 5th 2006 4:51PM
I didn't guess at all - how come *I* didn't win? Cuz really, there's nothing in that bag!
carl @ May 5th 2006 5:18PM
people, people...let's not forget what's important here: I didn't win!
Probably a good thing too. If I brought home 25 lbs of junk, my wife would have pummeled me with a bag full of pennies.
So...thank you VERY much Engadget for NOT telling me I won. Seriously...you saved me a beating.
james @ May 5th 2006 5:19PM
Hey wow.. they used my lame photoshop image! At first I thought it might be one of those robot dogs:

Zog's actually is good for sticks. I use it on all my hockey sticks (on the taped blade) to help the puck stick better. It works great for receiving those hard cross-ice passes.
Timerider @ May 5th 2006 5:41PM
O.o
Wa-wa-aa...DAMNIT!!!!
I didn't know about this!!!!!
The one day I don't check Engadget they have a contest.
>:(
Vman @ May 5th 2006 6:00PM
I thought mine was funnier... But it was number one thousand somethin' so I don't think they got to it.
I still think there should have been a stripper's shoe...
Vman @ May 5th 2006 6:11PM
Good for you James. Now make one with a stripper's shoe in it...
jthetruth @ May 5th 2006 6:28PM
I laughed my so hard when I saw that x-ray, body in the bag, pic...
forest @ May 5th 2006 6:30PM
Phil your retarted sex wax is a surfboard wax
Alex @ May 5th 2006 6:32PM
What does Sex Wax have to do with CES?
Tweaq @ May 5th 2006 6:52PM
holy crap, maybe i'm just a swag junkie, but thats stuff is awesome. and if this is the "junk" they're giving away, geez engadget must be loaded.
Taha @ May 5th 2006 10:49PM
Kelly should have won. She is right about the rules. You can't say "be specific" and then give it to an very vague answer. No one calls an Xbox 360 a Xbox. The original Xbox isn't dead yet that the 360 has become the de-facto "Xbox".
krizoitz @ May 5th 2006 10:51PM
I don't think Kelly is being a whiner i think she has a legitimate complaint and to be honest I thought the same thing. An xBox t-shirt and and xBox 360 t-shirt are different beasts entirely.
