You can own a 10th Anniversary Managers Mug!

I was cleaning off the prize shelf today making room for the 2015 Bash Booty, and I realized that there was something very special that did not get auctioned off as intended during the 10th Bash.

Every year I give a special mug to our dedicated managers. Last year, because it was the big 10 year mark, I had very unique mugs made, and I had them personalized. I had two made without names, intending to auction one for the 10th, and to save one to auction at the 20th.

Better late than never, we'll start this off at $50.
(High bid by 9pm US Eastern Time one week from today wins. Shipping is on me, anywhere on the planet.)

Grant gentle people is pictured on the $50 - and unless you think I am a lot richer (or dumber) than I think I am you would add $69.45 and reach $119.45 as Jeff did.

Rodent??? Just for that this vermin will bid $65.

You did get the frozen part right. Can you please close the door to the freezer now Pete?

Bruce

My mistake. Gofer isn't a rodent? I suppose your bad spelling entered when you were joining and you meant to be "Golfer". In that case I'll swing at the $125.00 bid.

You have the cold because you deserve it Golfer. :biggrin:

Since we are having fun with math, riddles, mistaken identity rodents, and apparently a chilling reference to a frozen wasteland, I hereby bid 4 Grants minus $50. Can anyone besides Jeff figure that out?

That would be one Franklin and one Grant and I'll bump it by a Jacksonl

We have lost all the Navaho Code Talkers but introduce the IAP Picture Talkers.

Keep up the bidding, but there is a shortage of repeat bidders. Need someone to challenge the leading bidder.

Not done yet!!!
If it is images on bills you want, crying out to repeat bidders, than picture this: Geo. Washington in the amount of 4-score and 7, plus I will squeeze out a Grant, also adding 5 of the guy who gave us "4-score and seven", all to be combined quite quickly by one of the dude of action: Jackson.

But wait!!
Lest the coins be left shivering out in the cold (to coin a phrase) :rolleyes:, toss in two buffalo, a George, one that once was Mercury, and 13 of the man shot by John Wilkes Booth.

Images, Images...can they be worth anything? A fine cup to collect perhaps, unless someone should emerge from the shadows to take up the challenge. Who knows, you might even get your picture on the cover of the Rolling Stone!:wink:

Steve,

I am not mistaken in my identity I am just stuck in a hole and dont get out much, Pete just keeps me in my place :frown:

As for wasteland ... feels like it some days and as for the frozen part it has been day time highs of 0 to -10 F for the last week.

Now keep up the good work and get a nice new coffee mug. :cool:

I would bid but I have to take my dog to the Vets today and this may be a budget buster for this month. It is not that serious but will require surgery to clean up the Abscess in her ear. I probably should think of getting health insurance for the 3 dogs and it usually is a bunch of Grant every time we go. Beautiful mug and fun watch the bidding. Oh1 the Vet. Visit will probably be up to 10 Grants in not more.

I don't drink coffee.......but that would be a great tea mug....or perfect for hot chocolate.

I have already been told I have enough mugs by the LOML. And since she is in charge of the budget......I have to bow to her wishes.
In other words, I can't get an advance on my allowance.

That sure is a lovely color. Can we vote to have this years mugs that beautiful shade of blue.
Personally Jeff, I may have kept it a couple of years and brought it out as a keepsake.

There is a bit of a mug gloat on my mug:biggrin:, albeit a bit premature perhaps. But the bidding has been silent for a while. I am just trying to figure out how I will cram all these images into my Paypal account...some kind of a funny money funnel or something:confused::befuddled: Anyhow, I will get 'em "figgered" out by Sunday. Beautiful mug...

Congrats to you Smitty. You do have a really nice mug there. I was unavailable to participate as the auction was ending due to my attending an International Convention of Jehovah's Witnesses in progress at the time this auction was ending. Priorities, ya know!
Enjoy your unique mug!

Put my last bid in myself just before leaving for a Thanksgiving Church Service.
