Veganomicon GiveAway #3: Phrenology
For this give away, you’ll need to get a DNA sample from Terry. Or just somehow guess her nationality. Terry’s parents are from two separate countries, can you name them? It’s kind of tough, so I’ll give hints throughout the contest.
Terry in all her glory. Is she even from Earth?
EDIT: The contest is over. Please stop guessing. Come by for a new contest tomorrow!

October 22nd, 2007 at 12:24 pm

She’s not Lithuanian. Quit it with the Lithuania. I said “getting warm.” Not “she’s Lithuanian.”
October 22nd, 2007 at 12:36 pm
“Costa rican?”
Getting warmer!
October 22nd, 2007 at 12:36 pm

October 22nd, 2007 at 12:40 pm
Okay, if I say “getting warm” or whatever, it doesn’t mean that one of the countries is right. If one of the countries is right I will probably say “That country is right.” Getting warm just means geographically or culturally.
October 22nd, 2007 at 12:41 pm
Botswana and Nigeria.
October 22nd, 2007 at 12:41 pm
Panamanian and… um… Latvian?

October 22nd, 2007 at 12:56 pm
This is not Phrenology. I insist on a 3d representation of Terry’s shorn head so that I can make an accurate study of the contours and then tell you various things about her habits, skills, and tendencies.
October 22nd, 2007 at 12:56 pm
Bolivian and Polish
October 22nd, 2007 at 12:57 pm
It IS phrenology because I found out by measuring her head.

Hey! I guessed Argentine! I got us into the region!
October 22nd, 2007 at 12:59 pm

October 22nd, 2007 at 1:00 pm
Thank you Poland
October 22nd, 2007 at 1:00 pm
Go pranjal!
October 22nd, 2007 at 1:00 pm
Marcelo, I know. And I feel for you. If you can guess one of my motherland countries (besides Russia, which is only, like, 2% anyway) you can have a book, too. But you have to get it in one try! Hint: Europe
October 22nd, 2007 at 1:02 pm
anencephalic you were SO CLOSE!
October 22nd, 2007 at 1:06 pm
I would be disappointed if I hadn’t gotten extra hearts on mine.
But I did, so I’m not.

# IsaChandra Says:

October 22nd, 2007 at 1:17 pm
Do you think Marcelo gave up or is he afraid of my challenge?
October 22nd, 2007 at 1:18 pm
El salvador and Greece
October 22nd, 2007 at 1:19 pm
Fine, you win.
October 22nd, 2007 at 1:21 pm
Latvian and Mexican
October 22nd, 2007 at 1:28 pm
I’d guess Greek for Isa, maybe Italian. She’s just missing the tan.
October 22nd, 2007 at 1:31 pm
I think Marcelo is just perfecting the response. You only gave one guess
October 22nd, 2007 at 1:45 pm

October 22nd, 2007 at 3:29 pm
soup & sandwich?
That is a great shot of Terry!
October 22nd, 2007 at 5:36 pm
Isa your so sweet to offer these book giveaways to your devoted readers. I can’t believe Venezuela was so difficult for most to guess. PPK episode 4, Terry mentions she’s part Venezuelan.
October 23rd, 2007 at 12:33 am
Prettyville & Sexytown!
October 23rd, 2007 at 11:48 am
Isa is being very generous with the advance copies of Veganomicon; I won mine in a raffle last evening! And I didn’t even have to guess Terry’s nationality.
Plus I got to meet Peter Young, animal liberator extraordinaire; best line from his talk had to be when he was talking about going into federal prison and having the guys say, “What did that kid get in here for? Cheating on the SATs?”
I’m going to enjoy cooking from Veganomicon.
October 23rd, 2007 at 3:35 pm
I don’t care WHAT nationality she is; will she teach me to put on eyeliner?
October 30th, 2007 at 1:36 pm
Writing from the Uk…I think Terry is American…..
And why can’t I pick up a copy of Veganomican from a bookseller here in the UK…..you guys are cooking while i’m just lookin’ I feel so left out
