OK Gang THE ST. JUDES SITE has OPENED
Taking Auction Items ONLY.......NO BIDDIN YET !!!!!!!!!
Best get over there and take a peek, start fillin out the papers fer the second on yer homes. Break into the kids piggy banks. Cuz were gettin pretty short.
Mr. Campbell says that the fuse has been lit and HE will let us know when we can start biddin.
Some really sweet stuff already posted, so lets see what "YOU GOT" ta throw in the arena........
CLICK HERE!....CLICK HERE!!....CLICK HERE!!! (http://tradgang.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum;f=106)
The Goal this year is $50,000.
Will ya help us make it?
Man and I just about had my home equity loan paid off to. :banghead: :banghead: Oh well at least it is for a good cause. Come on May 28th!! :pray: :pray:
Here we go!!!! Shake all that loose change outa your pockets, clean out the cracks in the easy chair, you're gonna need every nickel you can find - there is some great stuff to be posted! :cool:
I'll be amazed if we don't blow right through that goal of Terry's like a sharp two blade through a bunny rabbit.
12,000 members, donate $50 each if you don't win an item and we donate $60,000 easy this year. We can do it folks and it's for a great cause!
They still accept cash donations. ;)
I love to see all these "Happy Little Supporters" (sometimes known as "Local Pushers") right from the Git-Go this year :D
I didn't get all my pictures taken ahead of time like I thought I would and now it's snuck up and no sunshine today. Oh Well I do think I have a couple taken so I can start off some item posts today and then get with it tomorrow. Everybody start scratching for item donations (you never know what folks will bid on), working on Verbal (typed) support, thinking about bidding (when it's time)- early bids won't last anyway, but they help get the juices flowing, and then think about that .50 cent (or some small at least) donation at the end, that VTm spoke of, if you don't (or can't) win a bid. Trust me it all will count and add up. There is virtually no excuse I can think of for not helping in whatever little way you can.
Let me remind you of all the adult friends, relatives, members, known people we have lost to cancer just during this year - Please lets do our best to stop it in it's tracks with the KIDS. Let's make it less apt to hit adults in the future by curing as many children as we can, and learning more about it as we do.
It's A Cancer Among Us!!!
SAVE THE KIDS!!!
AND ... have fun and get a great feeling while you are about it - you really will.
YIKES ya been over there a taken a gander at what there is so far :readit: :readit:
Bernie is right.....every item and every bid counts.
All kinds of items will be listed, and all for the same cause.
Yer escrow accout is in fine shape Vance - Bid Away!
PS: I don't accept cats as collateral - but bows are fine!
Got my donations posted and will be doing some heavy bidding on a couple of items. Come on and get started.
Danny
I need to take a loan so i can win the paradise deer/hog hunt and the fishing trip with Vance!
I gotta think this post will PUCKER ole Roughcountry up a Wee Bit.
Chad...Ain't ya got a couple $3000.00 cats ya could sell :biglaugh:
Vance, If i give $3000 for a cat, it will be african and mounted!
Well, got my donation posted. Pure luck because It was my first picture post. Here's the deal for would be bidders, If you bid on the feather painting, I am going to do a give away on another small feather painting for those that didn't win, at a later date. If you all run this one up high enough I'll donate another one before the auction is up. Let's see what you got.
Brian K Aliff
Thanks to all that have donated so far....I get real exited when the listings get to the 3rd page....that means the auction is getting really close.
Looks like we are off to a great start, and can't wait to see what all gets listed.
Terry, I e-mailed you a ?
Disregard, I can post pics now, look for them on the auction thread. :~}
This one Bernie ??
It's looking great over there on the St Jude Auction 2007 (http://tradgang.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum&f=106&submit=Go) Hmm.... wonder if a dumb ol cowboy from Montana could catch a trout in Wyoming Vance ;)
Only if he wears Shorts a BALL CAP :scared: :scared: and spurs on his sandals :biglaugh: :biglaugh:
Bernie......that's a stella effort you are putting forth Sir! :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:
Yep, this is the one, Bull - thanks (I hate to loose things, especially ones that are right under my nose - :D ) .
Thanks, Terry, just wish I could do more. Gotta count my "Mason Jar" now and see if there is anything coming up that I can bid on - it didn't grow as much as I hoped it would but as we said, it all adds up. I may find another thing or twice to donate later in the week/month also.
Well, I got $28.83 anyway, and if it doesn't hold up for anything, it'll at least make a nice little cash donation at the end.
Sandals?? Don't know if my fragile toes could take that :scared: :scared: :D
You Da Man Bernie :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Gotta make it to 4 pages of listings to make $50,000.
Great start for the 1st 24 hours! Thanks to all that have listed so far!!!!
Mamma Kohunna where ya at?
Don't rush me Tarzan!
I'll be along in a bit.
17 and a WAKE UP :bigsmyl:
More Stuff! More Stuff! More Stuff! More Stuff!
(Make believe that's an audio/video chant resounding in your earballs, and flashing your eyedrums - subliminally of course - until you must find and post more donated articles, filling the St Jude Forum pages to overflowing.)
There ya go! That's the spirit! :clapper: :jumper:
You mean I can't do anything buy look for the next 18 days?
Y'all are EVIL! EVIL I say!!
Yeah Jeff.....look on the bright side, in the morning, it will only be 17 days :D
Guys and Gals....lets get to page TWO tomorrow!!!!!!! :pray:
BTW......I changed the St Judes 200SIX forum to read only so new guys and gals could read more threads and see how it works.
Good Idea, Terry.
Abbot: "How does it work, Lou?"
Costello: "Very well, thank you, Bud."
(or was that Laurel and Hardy? :rolleyes: )
Looking forward to a chance to see Hope again. She is going to be an expensive lady. lol
Here's the "other thread", Terry.
There is some awesome stuff stacking up there, this will be fun to watch.
A couple of them trips look awful tempting.
These are just the Teasers :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Right Bernie
Just added Hope and Faith....only need 6 more to get to page 2.
Is shipping on the buyer with the Girls Terry?
Tnanks V.......knew I was forgetting something!
Oh, yeah, absolutely Iron Bull (did you see Chort Draw's great carving? He used to make his living that way, now he's retired but this is the second year he has done one of those beauties for The Kids (I love his carvings, and wear one of his carved elk horn feathers on my hat) BUT, I digress -
Lots more to come. More "Big" items, more "Little" items, more "In-between" items - veritable pages of them. Some folks are just slow starters. Some folks are even BASHFUL to post their stuff (all ya can do is try your best, folks), can ya belive it? Then of course you have Sneezy, Doc, Grumpy, Sleepy, Happy, and ... well, you know ... , the "other one" :biglaugh:
We're real close to starting page two......
I was hoping the one I added this evening would kick it over, VTm - but no luck :( ;)
I think we need two more to get to page two bernie
It's the hardest hurdle to get over - the rest seem to flow pretty easy. Little huss, guys!
I don't know if my math skills are failing me or what, but I count seven new items after the girls and still no page 2? :confused: :confused: Come on, somebody make this thing rollover! :thumbsup:
Dang, I added an item and it still didn't roll over to page 2. Maybe I should have typed more!
Oh well, that just means we have to work a little harder and come up with more things to auction off!
I can't wait.....it's like Christmas in June.
We are already scouting out our treasures we hope to win..... :pray:
Everything on PAGE ONE is MINE, I tell ya MINE :readit: :readit:
I gots more money than Bill Gates, according to Whips math.
:biglaugh:
Your even going to buy your own fishing trip? You are serious eh. Better be packing for bear, I been saving up. Been mostly staying out of the classifieds for the last couple months and will even sell another bow if I have to.
The only reason you been staying out of the Classifieds is, it's to far for ya ta walk right now. :bigsmyl:
I know how much fun that trip will be :biglaugh:
You Can't have it all Vance... I Have a Few in Mind Already... LOL
Well we finally got there :thumbsup:
Page 2 That is :clapper: :clapper:
Headin for page 10
Now we're logging! Onward and upward. :jumper:
OK, things are beginning to get exciting! Have you gone to the Forums and clicked up the St.Judes Forum to check out all the neat donations?
Remember - we can't bid, (or even post)on them yet but we can go oggle - and then post on this (and the other thread in Pow Wow) about the auction and/or it's goodies. I've seen some I can at least afford to try some bids on - LOL. Talk it up guys 'n gals - get our Twelve and a half thousand members excited and involved - before hand. Every little bit helps.
It's For The Kids!!!
ttt
WOW...Bernie, I'm gonna have to get a real job so I can cover the NEW LOAN Payments :banghead: :banghead:
The smack talk and bidding wars are half the fun. This one is shaping up real nice, there are a lot of real fine donations in there and something for everyone.
ttt
The first cash donation has been made. Well done.
Well, that's pretty sneaky! - Naw, just kidding, Bless their hearts! :clapper:
OH MY....Did ya see the Campbell/Roughcountry entry. Just remember folks I HAVE SPOKEN FOR THAT!! and I'm really glad Doug let you folks see it. :banghead: :banghead:
Get in line bro.... :saywhat:
Heh, you too, JC....
JC and Iron Bull head to head; this is gonna be good! Wonder who's waiting to slip in the side door?? :bigsmyl: :pray:
:saywhat:
I got a secret FROZEN BAG that's due to be delivered to JC's the last hour of the auction, that's sure to keep JC away from the puter. Thawin N Eatin :biglaugh: Thanks for the help Curtis
What are you going to send me to keep me out Vance? LOL
OH NO.....Did ya see what just got put up on the St. Jude's SITE :banghead: :banghead:
Only so much money and So Many Decisions
Which will be the first to go? Cat, Kids or Wife :eek:
Rule #1, never go head to head against anyone with "iron" in their name.
Rule #2, snipers only need one bid...precisely placed at the correct time
And yes, I did see the SUNBEAR....and you'd better get yer wallet limbered up cuz it's gonna get a workout!
:saywhat: :eek:
Oh those subtle little BEWARES got me lookin over the shoulder. Tippit n Doug been so darn quiet :scared: :scared: Bothersome it is
Oh boy, I have the feeling that JC is about to break the bank. :scared:
I can't wait to get started on the bidding and ribbing that is going to happen. All the talk and joshing is part of the fun and it all benefits the kids which is the best part! This is shaping up to be a great auction year. Way to go fellow Tradgangers! :notworthy:
I like that shrew mantis, man I wish I had enough to go for that sunbear recurve!, looks kinda like the old bear recurves
Vance they are being sneaky arn't they.....plotting and planning I suspect.....
Just how much do you think a brand new custom built Sunbear would bring in todays market?
Pay attention boys and girls, I think we are about to get a lesson in free market economics and the laws of suppy and demand! :readit:
One way to chase off the snipers is to bid it up early and scare 'em off!
That's right Whip, do your max right off or else you may not get a second shot. Going to be fun this year, a lot of great donations and we're just getting started!
Hmmm.... who y'all callin sneaky? I'm liable to get a complex :scared:
Those Sunbears are great shooters and lookers. Love this purty one hangin right above my chair ;) Just too bad it's got those funny curly limbs ;)
Revving up to be a great auction, can't wait to see what's next!!
A Sunbear recurve? Pffffttt....I've seen them before. Absolute garbage. They look like something my dog dragged in from the field behind our house. I wouldn't even buy it to shoot carp. Don't waste your money, folks. Go buy some pop tarts or something worth a hoot.
Confidential note to Charlie: 62", 56# @ 32", you pick the wood combination. I'll email you my shipping address. I've seen a lot of homemade recurves, but none finer than yours. ;)
Fun thread :thumbsup: :D :thumbsup: :D
We are gonna make it SOOOOoooo easy for ya to get from here to there and back......keep a sharp eye.
Yea..What Jason is saying :readit:
You guys hunting Bare is not a thought I want in my head Vance. Think of the children man! ROTFL
I got enough bows... but a man can never have too many cookies... are those custom made to the winner's specs as well?
Back away from the cookies Kevin. JC held out on me in Texas and I got dibs on these! :D
OK......just click on the yellow banners to shoot back and forth from here to there and back!
Works great Terry.
Kevin N Whip"o"..Now up to this point everything has been going very very well. NO ONE has even mentioned Miss. Kim's active part in this party, I have been quite careful NOT to bring those things up. I was promised that there were to be CRUMBS left for me at the Sweat, crumbs were left for me. However MR. KELLAR Sr. spent all day seeking out the hiding place, resulting in NO Crumbs for me. It has been such joy allowing myself the pleasure of knowing that JC won't be giving me headaches with this item. Now you two show up around here a growlin about them.
Well I just sold my Gold Dredge today for a pretty good price, so I guess what Ima sayin is. BACK OFF THE COOKIES, DON'T EVEN BE THINKIN BOUT THEM THEYS GONE, YA HEAR ME :readit: :readit: :p
Where's Tippit anyway...LURKIN ???
Oh man, now Vance is after the cookies! :mad: And ya'll know Vance takes his vittles seriously. This could be a problem :readit:
Up to now I've attempted to stay in the shadows and just keep my mouth shut, listening to ya'll's dreams of owning one of MY toys. Well.......I've stood all I can stands and I can't stands no more!!!!!!!!
Vance's last post almost drove me to come out but, no, I was able to restrain myself. But Whip, now you're soliciting a tag-team partner for my cookies :wavey: :wavey:
Page 3 is Growling!!!!!!

Lookie there Vance! I think we've just been called out by ol' Bob-o! You in? :bigsmyl:
Jason, I am with you on the Sunbear recurve. I can't believe anyone would bid on it. Well, I might bid once or twice, just so SOMEONE bids on it. :goldtooth: No item should go without at least one bid. (And 55 at 27, 62", woods up to Mr. Lamb, I will pick up)
My hats off to ALL the Donners so far. What a Great start Showing. Your doin Great Brothers and Sisters of the BOW :scared: :scared:
:campfire: :coffee:
Crumbs in lieu of interest payments and a house cat as collateral??? :confused: Vance, Vance, Vance, surely you know that can't fly. Are you turning down my offer to settle this peaceably? :confused: Must I find another partner, or will I have to eat all those cookies myself?
Well, I guess the gloves done come off! :mad:
First, the mere size of you two "gents" should dictate that ya'll don't bid on no cookies, Miss Kim's or anyone elses for that matter :readit:
Now, at this point, I still kinda like you two fellers so's I really wouldn't want for ya'll to have to go crying to your wives that the skinny little runt from Virginny done went and whuped up on ya over a batch of Miss Kim's cookies, so........FORGET ABOUT 'EM :banghead:
Now he's callin' us fat! :mad: Vance, you gonna' let him get away with that?
I seem to recall a picture of a guy that sure looked like you standing around the Sweat in his skivies. Sure dind't look like a skinny little runt to me.......I think it was one of Rob's pics, but the links to it don't work anymore. Maybe he can post it again here and we can see just who should be eating cookies.....
Now, now...I did not use the "F" word. I was merely pointing out that there may be better suited items for ya'll to bid on.
I think your potential partner done got askeered and ran off. OK, that's one down and one to go :goldtooth:
I said it once "BORDER BOB" The cookies are MINE :readit: :readit: End of discussion Barnacle Bill
And Whip"o" I thought you were to be the FINANCIAL advisor :confused: That's why ya wanted all my Bows and Arras. I guess I'll just have ta bless someone else with the cat, someone that will appreciate a $3000.00 House Cat. Perhaps Shell or Killdeer might even be Bernie.
I want my bows back!!!!!!!!!!
cookies.......the perfect "sniping" food!

Now which rock might I find "Border Bob" under :readit: An agreement has been reached. Whip now holds title to The Cat :readit:
An inseparable Bond has been formed and "THE COOKIES ARE MINE"(OURS)
You can GIVE UP now...OR...Face the defeat later
Mr.Jason,,,having our threads pulled will serve no purpose at all. There was careful deliberation given to that Bow Draw weight. Knowing Precisely that it would exceed your draw limits, therefore eliminating you from the necessity to feel compelled to enter the bidding process.
Vance is going to break $50,000 all by himself at this rate.
Guys, honestly...if we keep getting donations like they are coming in now, $50,000.00 will be broken well before the closing bell :readit:
C'mon page 3!
I don't really even think that number is in doubt JC. We're going to blow right past that number like a Walker through a border checkpoint!
Speaking of Mr. Walker, Sir, Vance is right. An alliance is in place to secure Miss Kim's cookies for their proper owners. There are plenty of other very attractive items in the auction, and I respectfully request that you buy yourself a box of Fig Newtons to go with your Tecate and find something else to bid on! :bigsmyl:

HA!!!!!!!!!!.......That's too dang funny!!!!! :biglaugh:
Glad I didn't read this in the AM with my coffee, ...I'd have ruined another keyboard!
That's my Part....er Banker :scared: This is worrin me a tad :confused:
He'll be at my house in the morning Vance, anything you want me to ask him?
We'll reach page 3 tomorrow.......no doubt.

All you folks have a GREAT time and Fellowship
Cooooooooo Keeeeeeeee ........
I can taste 'em already...
Got milk?
Sure am glad to see all you high bidders so distracted by a few cookies an one lil ol crooked bow :smileystooges: Maybe some a us poor boys can sneak in on some other good stuff :D
Man oh man don't know where to start!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Holy Toledo have you seen the list lately? Dang! We are going to blow $50 grand away!
If we don't "We'll always think we should had"
5 more and and we'll move to page three.....
We're there!!!!
Introducing page THREE!!!!!!! :clapper:
Never been to page 4 before.....what do ya say guys and dolls? :pray: :pray: :pray:
Only took nine days to find page three. Ten more days before the biddin starts, so page four is almost too easy. We should hit five before it's over!
Well Mr. Whippy and Mr Vancey, Since I ain't got no cat to mortgage nor a banker to back me, I guess ya'll got me in a tough situation. You know, kinda like trying to pick up a turd from the clean end. So's I tell you what I'll do, just to show ya'll I'm a good sport, I'll try to sweet talk Miss Kim into making YA'LL's cookies while I'm down there in June visiting with JC...In fact, I'll even offer to help her. Naturally, I'll have to lick each one, just to make sure they're fittin for ya'll's consumption and then I'll hand deliver them to ya' on my journey westward and iffen they are presented in a Keebler Elf package, well, that's just to protect 'em during the trip. Yum, Yum.....
Eewww! :readit:
Border Bob That last post is PRECICELY why my partner MR. Whip and I decided that those DELICATE MORSELS should not fall into the hands of a, well I shant say just what you Really are on this site. Your act of trying to pick one of those objects up by the clean end just reinforces our position on the issue :scared:
Last I spoke with my brother Mr. Coots he was contemplating giving you the room beneath the fireplace and feeding you outside downwind. Also there was talk, just talk mind you of departing for the hunt at the moment of your arrival.
Cooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...
I can almost taste 'em already!!! :bigsmyl:
Whip wanna go BAHR huntin :bigsmyl:
THEM COOKIES IS "OURS"
Hehehehe...
I loves me some cookies!
That "Bahr" does have me a little concerned. Last I saw him he was looking a bit underfed and malnurished. :eek:
Let's put our heads together and come up with a plan to hold him off. I'm thinking his attention could be diverted during the actual bidding with a box or two of Oero's. Doesn't seem like the type that could tell the difference from one cookie to another. :p
Never, I mean NEVER get between a Bahr and his cookies...! Words to live by.
:biglaugh: :biglaugh: :biglaugh:

HA!!!!!...keep an eye on yer mail Vance...
And remember, save some for the auction....sounds like you are gonna need a litte 'liquid courage'.
I just went through all the listings....there's a LOT of great stuff on there, a large variety of stuff on there....its going to be hard to keep up with when the flag dropps.
Gonna make me a list so I wont forget anything :readit: :D
Mr Green..I would respectfully request that you refrain from encouraging visitation to the the other forum. It is greatly reducing my chances ,when Mr. Campbell pulls the trigger :bigsmyl: :bigsmyl:
I started making myself a list last night. My bank account is in serious trouble!
I've got 'em classified as "Buy At Any Price", "Watch", "Wait and Snipe At End", "Run Up Price and Back Out"
I'm not telling which ones are which! :readit:
Is there a way to save a thread as a favorite so a person could keep track of all the things he is watching? I'd sure hate to forget about something important!
Vance......I hear Bob Walker is working on some type of 'deterant'.
Seen the mail man yet?
Whip,
Yeah.......just save em in your favorites, that's what I did.
Bad news Vance and Whip....I've decided to throw in with my bud, Bob Walker, on the cookie quest so you might as well search for a girl scout to fill your cookie craving. Bob and I were partners at the Mod Melt hunt so I can tell you, first hand, that the man can put away some treats....I'm no slouch myself, and no man can stand between him and his nightly milk and cookies. :eek: So don't waste your time bidding on the cookies....don't want to see you disappointed when you end up with store bought oreos. Bid on something you can win...like a nice bow, a treestand or something. :bigsmyl:

Well I thought that this small matter had been settled, Bunny Boy. I do hope that you EXs can find a SHOPPIND BAG full of cash attached to a hidden Tree Stand somewhere. :readit:
My I suggest that you and Border Bob get in touch with Mickey, have him send you a couple packages of "THE HOTDOGS FROM HELL" in lieu of even considering "MISS KIM'S COOKIES"
This is some serious smack talk, if those cookies go for less than $100 I'm going to be real dissappointed in you all.
Vance, You sure your diet can handle the extra cholesterol and fat??? LOL
Rob, Great Pic, Dont know which belly is BIGGER... :smileystooges: :eek:
Sorry to tell you this Dick, but you just hooked on with a losing team. Vance is as determined a man as I have ever run across, and let me tell you, he is determined that he will have Miss Kim's cookies :readit:
Financing is in place, and lines of credit secured. (I of course will receive my half of the cookies as agreed in the Bow/Arra/Cat collateral agreement) :readit:
You think he'd trade half those cookies for his cat back?????
Heck, you can get a cat anywhere! :D
I'm not worried at all about Vance - he's my partner!
Besides, it's not the cat itself that will make Vance come through with his end of the bargain. It's the fear of explaining to Sandra what happened to her cat when my debt collection team comes callin'. Vito and Luigi aren't really cat people.
Mr. Peel may I remind you of a previous post in which you wished to share a CAMP?
It's a very long way back to your bed each day from TX. Need I say more??
I have so been in hopes that Mr. Kellar Sr. would offer up some of that Delightful NECTER that has become the passion of the SWEAT, Just to take some pressure off MY (OUR) COOKIES :bigsmyl:
Say perhaps a CASE to your door
Tell you what Vance, this cookie deal is gettin' a little out of hand...bein' a family type site and all. So what is needed is a little coolin' off period between both parties.
Since I'm pickin' those 2 Southern boys up at the airry port to gets some bears right after the auction, I'll step in as a go between and have Miss Kim just slip them cookies in JC's back pack without him knowing. I'll keep them in a safe secure place. You know if'n you & Whip out bid everyone, Whips gonna put those little tasty morsels in his bank vault :scared: Do you really think Whips gonna give you the combination???
PS: JC, I'm taken you out to your stand the first couples of nights...be sure and remember your back pack and fill your water bottle with milk. It's kinda the traditional way we hunt bears up north...Doc
I just knew that your silence for that lengthy period would serve me no good :help: :help:
Yer still in my corner ain't ya :pray: :pray:
Vance,
Remember Whips already got 2nd morgages on All your bows, your $3000 cat, And I just read on the net that Interest Rates are going up this weekend. You gotta part company with those banker types. I only stepping in for your own good...Doc
JC don't forget that pack!
I know Doc. but I'm from the North and winnins in my veins. Custer tried to defeat us and we all know what happened to him :wavey:
Where's that Banker when ya need him? WHIP!!!!
I hope that pack JCs a lookin for is the one I forgot to send back to him. :pray:
You two guys don't really think we're scared of a bank guard and a Santa impersonator, do you? ....course, I am a little scared of that pic you posted Rob. Definitely not a flattering photo of my partner. :scared: And a last warning.....we got a secret weapon and we'll use it if we have to.... so back off the cookies!!!! :readit:
Just Remember Vance, I think we can get the cat back once we tell Whip about Cat Scratch Fever, Toxoplasmosis, and that he's not litter trained :eek: Whip won't want him in his vault ;)
Also remember you can Always Trust a friendly veterinarian. Which of your bows does Whip has up for foreclosure anyway? Doc
I'm certainly glad to see Mr. Peel has seen the chocolate Chips in the cookie!
Whip did ya see what Bunny Boy said you was :scared: :scared:
I got ya' covered Vance - no problems. I got a plan all figured out. I'm baking some cookies myself and sending 'em down to Miss Kim. She's agreed that when we win the biddn' she's gonna do the ol switcher-ooo with the ones I send down for if Mr. Walker tries to get his mitts on them. He's not gonna realize what happened until it's too late, but let's just say he's gonna need a porta potty at his bear bait :readit:
(Note to JC - do NOT try a bite of the cookies I'm sending down!)
A box of LIQUID FORTIFICATION just arrived at my house. :eek: :bigsmyl:
Not sure if this might be their secret weapon or help from my partner(s) :confused:
well rob! and i am supprised at you as well ron it looks like to me and bob that you and rob wont be hunting with us when i come over. as that was down right dirty tactics to post that pic of my brother bob. why you beat me to it LOL!!! :biglaugh: :biglaugh: :jumper: :jumper: :jumper:
Oh boy, I am getting a little nervous about my cookie making abilities. I just hope I can do justice to this kind of publicity! :pray:
You guys are just too much. I can just imagine what your significant others would say about you bidding on cookies. Ya'll are serious about your cookies!
I have been racking my brain thinking of what in the world I can add to them so they will deserve this much interest. :eek:
To all I can promise that they will be cooked in a very clean kitchen....no beaters, spoons, or bowls will be licked....sorry Bob....we will have to work on something else while you are here.
Maybe make some treats for you older boys and for the young ones left behind. Who knows, if you ask nicely, I may even pack a little surprise in JC's pack after all......
By the way, you will have to fill me in on what Bobby likes to eat.
Miss Kim ifn Bobby is anything like Border Bob, he'll eat anything that don't eat him first :goldtooth:
See I told ya' she wouldn't let you in the kitchen! Our cookies are safe Vance!
Hmmm... Miss Kim I don't envy ya tryin to fill these guys' cookie order. If'n their pocket books can back up their struttin around those cookies are gonna be bout $200 apiece. Aint it great!! :clapper:
Keep yer eyes open :eek: Ole Border Bob has been able to jump in and out of COUNTRIES unnoticed.
What's a kitchen to a DESPRATE MAN :scared:
JC best let Whip put that Dried Sausage in the Vault :goldtooth: I worry bout that stuff also.
You guys hit $200 a cookie and I'll throw in 5 gallons of fresh VT milk. :saywhat:
VT Milk? What's that??? :confused: I'm from Wisconsin - you know the DAIRY State? We got more cows than people, and they give GOOD Milk! :cool: Goes perfect with cookies! :cool: :cool: That's why that Bahr is after these things - he lives just south of the border and sneaks up here to pilfer milk to take home to Ilynoise. But he's not getting any cookies!
Miss Kim, I have a question for you please. Approximately how many cookies might be in an average batch would you guess?
Miss Kim clearly states that she'll make 2 dozen. Got milk in your eyes or something? :p
Oh :o Um, let me see. I gotta talk to my partner in the morning.
Take your fingers off the keyboard, back away slowly from the computer, and git away from MY cookies...!
Vermont milk, HA! America's Dairyland, that's where REAL milk comes from. And apparently REAL cookies come from Miss Kim, straight to the Bahr's Den...
$200 for cookies? HA! That's small potatos...
I once knew of a guy who bought a $400 Doug Campbell knife for only $900.
And a $3000 Hawaii hunt for only $5800!
$200...
I gotta get me a scratch-n-sniff computer screen so I can smell MY cookies while they're in Miss Kim's oven...
Better scout yourself up a partner Kevin. No doubt you can handle Santa and his helper...but don't mess with the "BBB" team. ("BBB"=Big Border Bob) Remember, we got the secret weapon. :readit:
$200 each is what was said their Mr. America's Dairy Land. We had cows before anyone even thought of a Wisconsin. Besides what the heck kind of claim to fame is the Dairy State anyways? Producing milk is your guy's biggest accomplishment? Kind of sad when you think about it some. ROTFL
Well Well, appears as though an ole Bahr is comming outa hibernation. Problem is he SLEPT to long inta the spring, he's coming out GROGGY n SLOW.
This will be much FUN. I'm in need of a Bahr Rug in my Man Room, My partner was lookin at Mr. Campbell's Grease, Howsomeever since I hears some growling. String up da BOW partner "LET'S HUNT"
We have an old saying here High in the Cold Country. " Mess With The BULL ya Get the HORN"
As we all know Vance, have to sharpen up the smack talk for the real event. LOL
Well when you live in the true Dairy Land you get to wear foam cheeseheads anywhere you want and everybody thinks it's normal. And we got bratwursts and all kinds of other cool sausages. Milwaukee is also know as Beer City, and we drink more brandy per capita than any other State in the Union.
So take that Mr. Vermont (The State the size of a small county) :p
MR. Green one of yer "BOYs" is over here trying to incite a "RIOT"
Please come "LOCK HIM DOWN" or at least chain him up. :bigsmyl:
I guess those cookies or going to need another bidder with all of these challenges. Hey Tippit you want in on this? (Always get the Doc's on your side)
After much discussion and hard fought negotiations with my partner (He did NOT want to share!) I was able to convince him that our best chance of procuring these cookies was to bring in addional help. 24 cookies split three ways is still 8 apiece, and that is sure better than letting them fall into the wrong hands.
This cookies battle is obviously going to be hard fought to the bitter end, and we need an effective organization to accomplish our goal. We have decided to take it to the next level and have formed an LCC (Limited Cookie Corporation) which will be known as MKC, LCC.(Miss Kim's Cookies, LCC) Vance is the CEO, I am the CFO, and I would like to introduce our Vice President of Consumption

Even when you live on the east coast ya' gotta get up early in the morning to get a jump on the competition! :readit: Tippit has officially joined up with the winning team!
Yeah but I have an ace you don't. I have a bow Jeff really, really, really wants and I know he hasn't signed the contract yet.
Our newest addition brings some SHARP insights into MK..LLC. Being well known for his ability to CUT right through all the unnecessary stuff and get right to the POINT.
MUNSTER....So Do I....And I know where to get more......He is no longer "FREE AGENT". Yes he was BARGINED for he was not a WALK ON :clapper: :clapper:
Yeah, but I happen to known the VPC has designs on the trout fishing trip our CEO offered up and if he hopes to find any honey holes if he wins that one he knows which side of the fence to stand on!
If you all say so. :saywhat:
Sure don't want to appear to be taking sides here but Kevin You Da MAN ;) Want me to call and distract Karen during the last minutes of the auction? ;)
Miss Kim,
I got your email...and I will be glad to ride out, starting today, and sample a batch every day to make sure your going to pull this off till the winner is determined. Its gonna be a tuff job eating a double handful every day till then, but I'll certainly do it for the kids!
See ya in a bit. :wavey:
What bout this Munster fella what ya gonna do bout him??? :banghead: :banghead:
We just have to stay one step ahead of him Vance. It's that Bahr that's worrying me. HE seems desperate. And desperate Bahrs are known to do desperate things. :scared:
I didn't get no email Vance....on the satin like smoothness.....Looks like you're on your own. :scared: :scared: :scared:
It got left at the Office....We're headin in to pick it up in just MOMENTS!!! Our phones are out till Monday.
Bunny Boy n Border Bob I no longer see as a problem them 2 OLD HAS BEENS. Best they might be able to do would be to recruit "OLD RON Ancientman Le Clair" He's to slow to keep up with the Biddin. I had my worries that they might enlist Mickey but he's only packin 1 shot so that poses no problems. Yep I recon were gonna be eatin "BIG COOKIES"
Ya seen how easily the Bahr got skinned. We're talkin some POWER in MK..LLC. A force to be RECONED with :readit: :thumbsup:
Well ya know at some time you got to throw your hat into the ring to be counted...we're all waiting to see what's under that salad top :)
As to Bunny Boy, shoot I deal with them on a daily basis in the clinic! One whiff from some of my concoctions, He'll be seeing carrots for a week, no worry about him sneakin' in a bid.
I do have a confession to my team leaders, I did sneak one of them Miss Kim cookies at the TXS but heck I was in the first group and I couldn't concentrate on huntin'. That's why it took all week to fill my tag :( Also why I been recruited as the sampler on our team!
Furthermore, I am desiring a Vermonster bow but it don't compare to Miss Kim's cookies. Plus unbeknownst to him my whole family is from Wisconsin...don't sling mud at Wisconsin milk...Doc
We don't hold that little taste test against you Jeff - that's why we made you the VP of Consumption - you KNOW how good those things are and we are confident you will use all methods at your disposal to make sure the rest of our team has a chance to have that experience! (And of course get your fair share as well)
Doc N Whip, I was out doin some scouting, this may be what Bunny Boy is all excited about being their "Secret Weapon" LOL.....Don't really waste any concerns here. I'm holdin a tent over his head, plus by the time his bids get here the auction will be over.
(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d171/IronBull_/Rob_e.jpg)
Ok Jeff, the lines are drawn. Never slid mud at your milk, Whip started that one with his talk of VT milk and Bahr piled it on. Other wise I would have considered an alliance with him. These cookies are going to be real expensive I'd say at this point. I think I'll just hold the rest of my cards close to the chest from here on out. Cookies are serious business afterall.
I'm ashamed of you Vance...trying to drag Rob into this, him being all the way across the big pond and not here to defend himself. See the kind of team you've throw in with Doc. I'm sure that's something in your doggy hippocratic oath about associating with shady characters...man you could be in big trouble. Of course, as far as the cookies go, better go keibler elf hunting or risk going hungry cause we got the secret weapon! :readit:
Oh, I'm here defending myself alright. I just know which team to throw my lot in with, that's all ;) You know how banter is between TEAMMATES! :biglaugh:
Rob (Legal Affairs dept, MK Llc.)

Well, well, well, Dick, it seems as though our "secret weapon" has been flipped for a mere taste of dried animal parts. Actually, it's prolly better this way. The pics that will be forthcoming in November of our "Turncoat Redcoat" peddling his one speed Bananna Bike up the Blueridge Parkway instead cruising on the Harley Wide Glide will be priceless. A true testimonial of why there is no "Tea Tax"! :p
It's time for TEAM QUAD B (Border Bob and Bunny Boy) to activate back up plan Alpha Charlie, so stand by..............................
The pieces are all in place to make MK, LLC an insurmountable competitor in the global cookie race. I can taste 'em now! :bigsmyl: :p
You boys are in deep do do now.....Alpha Charlie is going to be released by Border Bob. :scared: :scared: and that's not even the secret weapon!! :readit: Want to just give up now or be embarrassed later??? :knothead:
You "BROOMSTICK COWBOYS" just keep livin your in yer DREAM worlds but you're still my personal heros. :notworthy:
Glad to see you've finally see the light Vance! :bigsmyl: (and I think I can keep this going longer than you can) :thumbsup:
LOL!!!! You da man, Mr Easter! :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:
:thumbsup:
hey bob you better save some of those famous cookies i have been hearing about for me to try LOL!! or get miss kim to make some more :biglaugh:
Ho ho! Back of Jeffy-Boy, them cookies'll never make it October mate!
They'll never see the Virginia border (although, Bob probably won't notice it either! :D )
We need to have our legal department do an investigation into Vance's post from this morning. :readit:
Hmmmmmmmm......(twirls moustache) I think fraudulent behaviour, such as has been displayed by the despicable Bunny Boy, should result in a Fine or custodial sentence.
Such cowardly & dastardly behaviour should not & will not be tolerated. As Legal dept for MK. Llc
I would advise you, Bunnygirl, to tread very lightly. I have the ear of His Grace, Justice Robert DiStefano & have no doubt, whatsoever that if this kind of underhand trading is taking place, charges shall be brought forward, by God!
;)
i think i will have to bring mr f.o.a.k out to sort this out once and for all and i would not want to be in the way of mr foak when he cuts lose. if yall dont know what foak is ask bob he has moak and they would make a great team . one way or another brother bob will have those cookies. LOL!!! :biglaugh:
Isn't it Tommorrow there, Jeffy?
You're gonna miss them there cookies by 12hrs & 12,000 miles (6,500 from my share) mate! :D :D :D
Boy oh boy...you try and help a guy out by getting into his thread to correct some spelling and punctuation mistakes and the accusations and threats start flying. That's gratitude for you. And, Crumpet boy, are you referring to my good friend, Rob DiStefano, AKA Rob@tradgang? My hunting partner and roommate at the Mod Melt? Good luck with that one...and don't forget, we still have the secret weapon. :readit:
Havin just spent some time Gazin into my CRYSTAL BALL, I see a "PAGE FOUR" :clapper: :clapper: In the not to distant future. IF I am not mistaken a Page 4 will be of HISTORIC PERPORTIONS for Donations.
DON'T STOP THERE GANG, LET"S GO FOR 5
The Kids Deserve it
If ya have a Heart to, PLEASE Participate in the AUCTION
We'll need a page four to hit this years goal and we are getting close. We have almost matched last years donations number at this point and we still have 7 days!
My, my - you guys have really been "sticking" it out on this thread. (Yuk, yuk, yuk) More power to you and keep it up. Ya done good! Let's see if we can stir the pot more. We may put up (for auction) the (Empty) Trad Gang Cake Box, from the Baltimore Shoot. (Cookie lovers most usual like cake crumbs too :D )
This is just a guesstimate, and Terry could give us a better number, but I think we are about 42 items away from page four. We can do that!
I wonder if this thread is getting old? We have kind of monopolized it with our cookie banter, which has been great fun, but I'm guessing it has stopped being followed by many people. I'm going to start a new one and try to challenge more people.
I was thinking the same Whip. How about a "What's your favorite St. Jude's Auction item" thread?
I just posted a thread, but I that one would be even better! Why don't you start it out. I'll post my favorite - even if it invites competition!
Geeze, I get back from a shoot, post on the thread one time and they all jump up and run off!
Am'm sa broked-hearted :( (Not really - I'll post anywhere :D ;) )
Oh we can keep this one going too Bern!
I have to agree that this has run it's time. It's been fun and hopefully has worked to keep the auction in the fore front. I think now it may either have lost the following or be a distraction.
Now we have BIGGER COOKIES TO EAT. Getting to page 4-5.
I have ask that this be locked down NOT PULLED but locked down.
Thanks for the ride BROTHERS and SISTERS.....vance
