And the winner of the Iron Man poster is ...
DAVE!!!
So Dave, congrats on winning, and congrats on the pending nuptials! Just drop me a line at geekboy@toomuchfreetime.net with your mailing info, and we'll make sure they get that to you.
By the way, Freakgirl and I saw the movie yesterday, and I just have to say ... it KICKED ASS. Seriously, Robert Downey Jr. was some inspired casting, and the movie struck a pitch-perfect note throughout. I can't recommend it enough, and I'll definitely be going back to see it again.
Ever wonder what it's like to be Tony Stark? You know, Iron Man. But without the cool armor. Just the millions of dollars. And the substance abuse problems. And the angst about being a fictional comic book character. Okay, so maybe all you really want is a free Iron Man poster. If so ...
See that poster there? To win it, just tell us in the comments why you're the most deserving. A comment will be selected at random on Friday, May 2nd ... which just happens to be the day that Iron Man is coming to theaters! Only one comment per person will be entered into this drawing, and don't forget to include your email address!
In case you've been living in a hole for the past year, Iron Man is a movie based on a comic book about Tony Stark, a billionaire socialite alcoholic genius industrialist who designs a flying shooting suit of armor and becomes a superhero. The movie was directed by Jon Favreau (Swingers, Elf), and in an inspired bit of casting, stars Robert Downey Jr. as Stark, along with a cast that includes Gwyneth Paltrow, Jeff Bridges, Terrence Howard, and (of course) Burger King.
Is a poster not enough for you? Would you rather -- I don't know -- live it up Tony Stark style? Then maybe VH1's "Become Tony Stark for a Weekend" contest is more up your alley. First class travel to L.A., two nights of 5-star Beverly Hills luxury, a helicopter ride, and a $1000 shopping spree await the winner of this contest. Sorry, cool flying armor, repulsor rays, and crime fighting are NOT part of the contest package. But the alcoholism can probably be arranged.

Christmas comes early to TMFT - it's contest time! Discovery Health channel is debuting a new lifestyle show on January 4th, called The Dan Ho Show. Dan's biography states, "Dan Ho liberates people from the deluge of lifestyle gurus that portray an impossible standard of so-called perfection, all at the expense of true, expressive style." Sounds reasonable to me.
Here's the contest. Tell us why you think you're in need of some lifestyle advice, and you can win a copy of Dan's book, Rescue from Domestic Perfection: The Not-So Secrets of Balancing Life and Style. Post your brief story in the comments. On January 4th, a few entries will be picked at random. We have several copies, so don't be shy! Show previews after the jump.

To celebrate the premiere of the show, Too Much Free Time is giving away a free "Work Out" t-shirt. All you have to do to enter the contest is go to the comments and list your favorite fitness activity and why you enjoy it. Or list your least favorite activity and why you hate it.
