One day, late last year, I was driving in the city and I saw Wally walking in the street. I'm not even kidding. I'm not talking about Wally Lewis (I wouldn't recognise him if I ran him over in my car) or Wally Smith (who may or may not exist, I can't actually think of anyone else called Wally). It was Wally. As in Where's Wally. Walking down the road.
I tried to get a picture of Wally on my iPhone, but stopped when I remembered that it was illegal to use an iPhone whilst driving*. So sadly I don't have any photographic evidence, but I can assure you it was him. I can also assure you that he wasn't just a random guy in blue pants and a stripey red-and-white top - he had the stripey red-and-white hat to match, and if you can find one man in the universe who would wear that who is not Wally, then I'll show you a flying baboon**.
I searched the internet to no avail, and then took to Twitter to ask if anybody knew why Wally was walking around the streets of Sydney. No-one did. In fact, one or two people surmised that perhaps I'd been imagining things, and reiterated the dangers of driving whilst under the influence of Wally-sighting-inducing drugs.
So I let it all go, and pretty much forgot the whole incident.
Until now.
You see, Wally is suddenly back in my life.
As you may know, it is Wally's 25th anniversary***. And in honour of that anniversary, I have a magnificent prize pack to give away.
The pack consists of:
- 1 x Adult 'Where's Wally' costume
- 1 x Adult 'Where's Wally' Wenda costume
- 1 x 25th Anniversary 'Where's Wally' Hardcopy collectors edition book
- 1 x Where's Wally desktop standee
Total value $110.
To enter, please leave your comment below (or on Facebook) explaining why you want a Where's Wally costume. Because a) I need some way to choose a winner. And b) I really want to know. Why on earth do you want a Where's Wally costume???
The winner will be announced on this blog.
*although it may also have had something to do with the fact that I couldn't find it in my bag in time to capture him.
**this is metaphorical. I don't really have a flying baboon to show you. I don't actually think they exist.
***not wedding anniversary. I don't think he's married. Would you marry someone who wears that outfit???
This is not a sponsored post. I just like Wally.
