Winner of the Chili Peppers Custom Card Giveaway

Alright everyone, it's time for the results of the Red Hot Chili Peppers custom card duck race and giveaway!

 

Here's the list of contestants who entered within the one-week submission window, plus links to their associated blogs:

 

 

Mark (The Chronicles of Fuji)

Gavin (Baseball Card Breakdown)

Crocodile (Crocodile Sports Cards)

Matt (Diamond Jesters)

Jon (A Pennysleeve for your Thoughts, My Kind of Nonsense)

Wilson (Tenets of Wilson)

 

In the original Chili Peppers post from a couple of weeks ago, I mentioned that if 10 or more people entered the contest, I'd not only give away a card to the winner, but also a card to the second- and third-place finishers.

Unfortunately, only six people entered, so that offer is off the table. But we'll still have a good time. And if you haven't seen the duck race in action, or don't remember it from last time, here's how it works: 

Each entrant is represented by an animated rubber duck that is sitting at the starting line on an animated river. The starting gun fires, and all the ducks begin floating randomly along the river as the screen scrolls horizontally. Eventually the finish line appears, and the first duck to cross the line wins. 

 

This time it's a little more complicated, because if Matt or Jon win, they're going to defer the prize to one of the other contestants. I've explained this to the ducks in a way that ducks can understand, and they've assured me that there will be no tomfoolery going on. I trust they'll give us an honest race, because they're honest ducks and they race hard.

 

Anyhow, yesterday I ran the script and recorded the action. Want to see how it all turned out? 

 

Play the video, find your duck, and here we go.

Wow! Jon motored out to an early lead and held it for a while. Then Fuji, Diamond Jesters, and Crocodile all made a late push, but what a burst of speed from Crocodile at the bottom! Congratulations, Sir.
