Did the Christmas thing. It was nearly the best part of the holidays for me. This should be cool as well!


PM SENT!

Been off line for a while and just saw this. I can't think of a better way to honor Ken.
Thanks Bran. PM sent.

 

[Blackhorse]

Didn't know Ken, but that's not really necessary...as he was a 'brother' to me here. This event not only honors him and the obviously generous code by which he navigated his life, though it we are honoring each other and this fine site.

That being said, if any of you know of someone you think might enjoy the activity, let them know this is taking place. It's heating up nicely at this point, but the more the merrier (as in ho, ho, ho, etc.). Being new here I don't know all that many yet, but I've done a number of trades already and will shoot out a few PM's with a link to this thread to make sure a few that have done me well don't miss the opportunity - if they should so choose.






I commented to a friend on another site that I've used for years that for Lent, I'm giving up being stingy! This thing will be a good test to my faith! lol

Can I get a witness?!?

 

[puros_bran]

I'm just sayin.. Not trying to entice anyone or anything.. But I think I'm passing a pipe, maybe two on down the line..

And I'm betting I'm not the only one that will do it.

 

[Frost]

Nope, you ain't the only one

Pilot to Chief: OK, Scotty. Don't get yer knickers in a twist! We've got enough fuel to make a second run if we have to. We're fine.

Crewchief to Pilot: I'd be doin' a whole lot better if you'd get the damn Doctor outta here!

Pilot to Ship's Surgeon: Bones! Get your sorry ass outta the Bomb Package! Those are for our TARGET!

Ship's Surgeon (mumbles to himself): Dammit Blackie! I'm just an old country doctor, not a proctologist!

Pilot to Crew: Somebody! Anybody! Throw that old reprebate off the ship!

(sounds of a scuffle)

Pilot to Crew: What the hell's goin' on back there anyway?

Ready for the twist???

You've had sine time to stew it over.. Whatcha gonna do? How much should you give?

I have a surprise aspect of the game, anyone wanna hear it??

 

[Frost]

Depends...is your twist gonna make a difference if any bombs have already been dropped?

 

[Blackhorse]

Now THAT'S a valid response!

 

[puros_bran]

I didn't have anyone send to me... On purpose.. So I wouldn't have to send to anyone... for a reason .


I happen to have a pipe Ken sent me.. And more than enough tobacco he sent me......
I, and only I , will decide the "best" ( I gotta take into account alot of crap, its no fair judging a guy that started last month against a guy smoking for 49 year package for package) bomb and reward the sender with a Ken Collins pipe and Ken Collins tobacco.

 

[Mikem]

The box is packed :affraid: and "should" go out this Friday or Saturday.
