AICN Is Giving Away Three Berkeley Breathed-Signed Copies Of BLOOM COUNTY: THE COMPLETE LIBRARY, VOL. 3!

As a follow-up to Thursday's Berkeley Breathed interview, AICN is holding a contest to give away three signed copies of "Bloom County: The Complete Library" Vol. 3. THE CONTEST: Make up a track name you might find on the "Billy and the Boingers" greatest-hits record. BACKGROUND: "Bloom County" fans will recall that Billy and the Boingers (formerly Deathtöngue) was a heavy-metal outfit managed by Steve Dallas, featuring Bill the Cat on vocals and lead tongue, Opus the penguin on rhythm tuba, and Hodge-Podge on drums. You can learn much, much more at the band's Wikipedia entry. It tells us that in the "Bloom County" official canon, Billy and the Boingers recorded songs that included "Demon Drooler of the Sewer," "Leper Lover," "Let's Run Over Lionel Ritchie with a Tank," "Hari Kari for Barry," "Pimples from Hell," "U-Stink-But-I-♥-U," "Guillotine Grandpa," "Clearasil Messiah," "Hell's Bells," "Love Rhino," "Skateboarding to Satan" and "Guillotine Your Parents." CONTEST RULES: Make up a credible "Billy and the Boingers" song name. Post it to TalkBack. One entry per talkback; enter as many times as you want. Editor's three favorites win the prize. ENTRY DEADLINE: 5 PM Tuesday, November 9th, 2010 GRAND PRIZE: A living Magellanic penguin from the Falkland Islands.* FIRST PRIZE: One of two signed copies of BLOOM COUNTY: THE COMPLETE LIBRARY, VOL. 3. The winners will be announced in a separate article later this week. Good luck!

*In the event of penguin not surviving the journey to Ain't It Cool World Headquarters, the Grand Prize will be an inscribed copy of BLOOM COUNTY: THE COMPLETE LIBRARY, VOL. 3 with a sketch by Berkeley Breathed.
