    Just an update - I'll be out of town this weekend, and want to get the knofe shipped before I do, so if there are no objections - I will move the drawing up to tomorrow around mid day. Then all I'll need is the address of the winner so I can get it out on Friday.

    OK if you think so! I'm not in an argumentative mood tonight. Ken did I just hear you hit the floor? Stargazer run over there and check on Ken!! I didn't "hide it", I highlighted it!! Why is it when you say something that you really believe, people think you are sucking up. I'm no Sycophant... just ask some of my past bosses!!

    Crash, if it will help, you can just drop the knife off at my house on the way past. What? I'm just trying to be helpful. Jeeeeze, what a surly crowd.

    In a way I guess you could be right. I do admire positive qualities,such as integrity and others.I guess I also have a "man-crush on all our soldiers "over there" doing what they feel is right and honorable. Likewise several Authors for the principle they put forth and the emotions they provoke. You could throw Santa Clause (and Crash) in for Generosity as well. WOW! I guess I have a lot of "Man-Crushes". It's OK my masculinity isn't threatened in the least. I know where I draw the line. LOL

    Thanks Crash this is awfully nice of you. Do you have any certain time you plan on closing this? Just so everyone knows and has a chance to act before it is too late. I numbered them in case you want to use a random number generator to make things easier.

    I Guess I will keep updating the list and then deleting my old post w/list.

    Just so you know, I've met Crash. I think I have a better Chance of talking the President into kissing my rear end on the 50 yard line of the Superbowl at Half-Time, than swaying him (Crash) with flattery or Bribery or whatever. You would have to meet him to understand. It's something you can read in his body language as much as his words. I trust Crash to do what is right no matter what. No I'm just trying to make things easier on everyone. I like being helpful every now and then, Makes me feel like I am contributing some service that helps out. It is a reward in and of itself... contributing to the Community.

    There is no way I would want the job Crash,Sarge and Rick have. But I do want to have a vital part in this community. So I'll just settle on pitching in, when and where I can. BTW I know you were just playing/kidding around, I'm explaining more for the "Lurkers/Guests" than anyone here. Maybe they will join!


    I second that motion.
    Don't worry I'll still keep the list up to date. I know Crash better than that. I know there is nothing I could say that would sway his decision, but some might not understand even on the slight chance I did win. Besides I did win a knife this Summer and although it isn't a Crash knife. It is a Knife that I won at Jamboree. So I am officially disqualified. Even though I am not an official! LOL

    Well since no one has entered I deleted my name/withdrew from the drawing.
    Good Luck Everyone!!

    I was making a joke. Put your name back on that list!!!
    Ken has helped me out so much with legal stuff, I need to keep track of it so I can pay him back. I will be placing a 'score card' in my sig as a reminder.

    I know you were making a joke. It's OK, I have several knives.... Just not a Crash made...Or a Panch0 made or some others that I would like to own. Especially from members, more for "sentimental reasons" than anything else. I don't mind stepping aside, Really. It's not just what you said. I got to thinking and I DID win a knife at the Jamboree,so really it's more fair if I step aside and give someone else a chance. It's the right thing to do whether anyone said anything or not. I don't mind, really I don't. Rick didn't win a Knife at Jamboree, Old soldier did but it (A Crash-made I might add) was stolen so they both should be in the drawing.
    Have faith in me Brother,One day I will own a Crash made. I may have to buy or barter or (heaven forbid) beg for one but one day I will own one, one way or the other. Same with one of Panch0's knives. I don't Need it but I want it. Different thing, especially in light of the fact that I won a knife in a Forum-related activity. Cool?

    Fine, remove my name too. Other folks are more deserving. Besides; I'd just set it on a shelf where someone else might use it as it was designed. Now, lets raffle off Ken!!

    Hey you only have a 1:39 chance. There is nothing wrong with a display,especially on a custom made knife. Let's leave it there and see where the dice fall. I am almost willing to bet,that if both of our names were in there,neither of us would win it.LOL Not if your luck has been running like mine lately. You ARE deserving. You fall within the guidelines Crash set forth, Right?

    We won't get much if we raffle Ken off.... No one could to afford to feed him! LOL

    If by what I have learned over the years, allow me to help one person to start to prepare. If all the mistakes I have made, let me give one person the wisdom that allows them to save their life or the life of a loved one in an emergency. Then I will truly know that all the work I have done will have been worth every minute.

C'Mon y'all I think from reading this one thread that y'all can see we are a friendly bunch!! Look at the Tutorials and read some old posts there's a LOT to learn here!!
