All you’ve got to do is leave a Schwartzman-centric blurb or haiku in the comments section of this post and you’re in the running. The full piprize pack includes:

Bored to Death Prize Pack:
Flight of the Conchords Season 2
Entourage Season 5
Bored to Death mug
Bored to Death reporter’s notebook
Bored to Death flash drive
Bored to Death posters
