We Have A Winner!

Yes, I let this go on for an extra day or so, but I was having so much
fun reading your guesses.
The Winner of the One-Word Error Prize is Jackie R, who correctly
guessed the shocking truth from page
228 of “A Million Miles In A Thousand Years.”

It wasn’t sweat. It was snot.

I tried so hard to hold it in, but gravity had the final say. And even
though it’s been twenty-eight years since the actual occurrence, just
writing this makes my gag reflex kick in.

Jackie, your prize is a very stylish, very rare “Blue Like Jazz” movie
t-shirt. 100% cotton. 100% snot-free.

    There are t-shirts?? Where can we buy them! We must have t-shirts! Come on! Let us be walking advertisements! Of course, Alex would probably get a Blue Like Jazz tattoo across his forehead if he thought it would help. ;-)

    Hey Donald…. Another error in the book was ‘inderstand’ instead of ‘understand’….. unless i didn’t inderstand your untension. ;)

  • Stewart Thompson II says:

    I agree. T-shirts are a must! Please?

  • Mr. q ree s says:

    So whats the status of the movie? is coming out already? if its still filming i kind of want to be an extra.

  • Mai Hariu says:

    Steve, what about the typo on pg 197? The last sentence on the page incorrectly spells the work ‘undertand’. Do I get a prize?? :)

    Got the book on Friday, can’t put it down. Thanks for all of it…

  • Ray says:

    Eeewwwwww!!!!!

    Just finished reading the book, though. It’s wonderful!

    Okay, and let me be annoying and add that the character in Casablanca is Ilsa, not Isla. I expected more from you guys… Just kidding ha the book is fantastic and I can’t wait for the movie to come out!
    Oh, and my mom just reminded me that in one place Don writes weary instead of wary…which reminds me of why I stopped letting her read my high school papers.

  • mary says:

    Just finished the book – it’s great! I also found a typo: page 245 “honsetly” :)
    Any more t-shirts? lol
