[BONUS] Win a set of Dan Springer "Roving Eye" glasses!

Super talented artist Dan Springer has kindly offered to give away a set of his extremely limited edition Roving Eye glasses to a Skull-A-Day reader!



This set of four high quality drinking glasses features a cyclops version of Dracula, Frankenstein, a Devil, and of course a Skull. The eyeballs are printed on the reverse so that no matter where you turn it their eye watches you!

To be entered in a random drawing for these fine pieces, you just need to post a comment below with a limerick, or haiku about the One-Eyed Skull or a skull themed drink recipe of your own concoction (non-alcoholic drinks are acceptable).

You may post more than one comment/entry, though your name will only be added once to the drawing. Be sure to use an account that you can be contacted at directly once we determine a winner!

You have one week (until Midnight Eastern Time Sunday, January 11th) to submit an entry. The winner will be announced on Monday the 12th. [UPDATE 1/12] The contest is closed, thanks again to everyone who entered!

And of course you don't have to wait to order a set for yourself (especially considering how few he made), just go HERE to get the details!

  1. There once was a skull so gruesome,
    With eye holes not forming a twosome.
    While driving he died,
    Though the brakes he applied,
    He misjudged the distance, and then some!


    Cheers!

  3. While sipping a vodka and tonic,
    Persephone waxed quite mnemonic:
    A Luciferian wink
    From her vessel of drink
    Brought to mind her experience chthonic.

    Pair of infinite dark pits

  5. Mētis meant clever--
    but don't tell Polyphemus
    who thinks it "no one".

    Ancient Greek puns are the best.

  7. Roving eye on skull
    Watching me sip my drink
    Creeping me out, man!

    Vampire, Devil, Skull
    And Frankie grinning real wide
    Enjoy my party

    These look great and would be a big hit at any of my parties. Especially with some Bombay Sapphire or some B&B cognac.

  16. Here's my recipe, I call the drink the Skull banger tequila. You will only need orange juice (1/2l.), lemon juice (1 glass), tequila (1 l.), salt and a little bit of "chile piquín".

    Mix all the liquids and pour it on salt and chile piquín decorated little glasses (just like the ones in the picture)

    Delicious and hot, I'm sure it would be Ghost's rider favourite ;)

  17. His skulls are totally fly
    while one that I drew made me cry
    I'll leave it to him
    Who's creations are grim
    While drinking from Dan Springer's eye

    You know where to reach me ;)

  19. Ode To A Wall-eye

    Oh glasses monocular,
    Your tubular receptacle
    Your slickery skin
    The nectar within.

    Remorse we held
    Close to our bosoms
    The day the reaper came.

    And wept did the children
    For no more milk was expected
    To cross the soft petals
    Of their shrieking mouths

    We languish in your demise.

  22. I once found a skull with one eye
    And said, "Oh, cyclops has died"
    But I'm no CSI
    I'm just a dumb guy
    It's just glasses with paint on the side

  23. I love these glasses
    They would freak out our neighbors
    At the next cook out

  24. A Stare. No Blinking
    No stereo dreams for him
    With only the one wide eye

  28. The Roving Eye
    1 part hazelnut vodka

  29. In skulls we are now well supplied

    We have three hundred and sixty five

    There's no shadow of doubt

    We will never run out

    Skull-a-Day for the rest of our lives.


    and a recipe:

    In a large vessel mix the essence of the cacao bean with honey orange peels, chili peppers and the bark of the cinnamon tree. Leave in a warm place until fermentation has stopped, strain through a mat of rush leaves and drink the resulting liquor from the skull of a defeated enemy. You will be mighty in battle and your foes will tremble before you.
