Get Your Knuckles On VIP Movie Tickets And A Signed Poster (Courtesy of the Subway Squawkers)

So have you seen any good movies lately?  No?  Well, what if I told you that the Subway Squawkers (Lisa Swan and Jon Lewin) are giving you the chance to win VIP seats for the TriBeCa Film Festival premier of Knuckleball! on April 21?  Did that get your attention?

But, wait!  There's more!

In addition to the VIP seats, you could also win a movie poster autographed by four knuckleball artists from the past and present.  What would you say to a poster signed by current Met R.A. Dickey, the recently retired Tim Wakefield, 216-game winner Charlie Hough and former 20-game winner Jim Bouton (who, like Dickey, has ventured into books with his controversial "Ball Four")?

There are no operators standing by and you don't have to send anything for shipping and handling.  All you have to do is e-mail Lisa and Jon at subwaysquawkers@gmail.com and tell them what your fav'rit sports movie is.  That's it!  No credit card information will be taken and you don't have to make promises to buy a ShamWow in the future.

But you do have to e-mail them with the name of your fav'rit sports movie by Wednesday, April 18 at 9am Eastern Daylight Time (4am if you're an Alaskan Squawker fan) to be eligible to win.  (For the record, I have two fav'rit sports movies - BASEketball and Celtic Pride.  BASEketball is just the funniest movie about a made-up sport ever and Celtic Pride ends with my beloved Utah Jazz winning the NBA title.)

So what are you waiting for?  Don't pick up the phone!  Don't get a check or money order!  And don't "knuckle" under the pressure!  Just send them an e-mail and you could win VIP seats for Knuckleball! as well as a signed movie poster (featuring your fav'rit Met and mine, R.A. Dickey).  Hope to see you there.  Good luck!

Meet The Mets (For Under A Dollar)

Good friends and fellow bloggers Squawker Jon and Squawker Lisa made their way to Citi Field tonight to meet the Mets (and yours truly)! They were able to get in for $0.97 a ticket. Despite those low prices, the stadium still looked more than half-empty. Even an optimist would have to say it was half not-filled. This got the writers at Studious Metsimus wondering (okay, just me and Joey) about other things you can still get for $0.97. We came up with an interesting list:

Two square inches of a ShamWow™. Hey, if a full size ShamWow™ can pick up cola just by laying it on top of the mess, two square inches should be enough. Plus, with two square inches, it won't take up much storage space. Besides, it's made in Germany. That's good enough for me.

Taco Bell! Why pay $9.00 for chicken nachos at Citi Field when you can spend less than $0.97 for similar fake Mexican food? Just remember that the sales tax in New York has gone up from 8.375% to 8.875%. That might make the 89¢ menu items cost more than the allotted 97¢ in our budget.

The original Studious Metsimus brain for the banner/logo thingie! The current banner is dy-no-mite! However, for 97¢, the old idea for the banner could be yours. Now that I'm looking at it, I think that's where they got the meat for the free hot dogs at Citi Field.

The Juan Samuel Grooming Kit. When Samuel was traded to the Mets in 1989 for Lenny Dykstra and Roger McDowell, he brought over his passion for hair care products. Now you can look your best for only 97¢ with this fantastic grooming kit. However, there are no longer free VHS copies of "Coming To America" included with this offer. Juan Samuel apologizes for the inconvenience.

A pitching lesson from Oliver Perez. Since he still has to feed his kids, he's going to need extra income. Therefore, 97¢ will get you and a friend pitching precision from Perez. It is not known whether Dr. James Andrews' cell phone number is included in the deal. For that matter, it is also not known if Ollie actually has kids. I smell a 97¢ scam!

There you have it, my fellow SMFs. If you can't get tickets to a Mets game for the low price that Jon and Lisa got them for, at least you can use that hard-earned cash and exchange it for something you need.

By the way, I'll give you two of those unused Studious Metsimus banner brains for less than 97¢. They were made in Germany, too. Try my product!
