Your chance to own some 10th anniversary IAP history!

[Ed McDonnell]

Hey Chuck - That is a really hot clock. As a matter of fact I hear it is so hot that it will melt the snow off your driveway. Who wouldn't want that?


I wonder how you get entered to win that baby....


Ed

 

[mredburn]

I see old men walking along the road picking up beer cans all the time. I bet they are trying to get enough money to buy points too.

 

[Ed McDonnell]

I wonder if people can use their SNAP cards to buy points. IAP IS food for the soul..........

Ed, what exactly is a SNAP card?

Chuck - That is a question that could easily inflame a wildly inappropriate bout of heated political posting. Probably best not to head down that road....

Less controversial (unless you are D.Oliver with his entrant stealing tricks) is how to customize link text. You put your link in this format:

[_url=[COLOR="Red"]your link here[/COLOR]]your text here[_/url]

you don't use the "_" after the "[", that's just there so things show up in this post.

Understood! Thanks Ed. Might have to try that over in the Testing forum.

 

[mredburn]

Have you two been drinking again? I thought this was a thread about an IAP Clock masterpiece! Not some old fart trying to figure out how to post a link in their text. Next thing you know we will be talking about trivia.. sheesh

 

[Dalecamino]

Always someone trying to hold back progress As fine of a work of art the Trivia contest is it, doesn't hold a candle to this clock:biggrin:

Now... at the risk of losing/ reducing my chances of winning it for myself
I would admonish everyone to go buy some Appreciation Points for a chance to win this precision timing instrument. Watch it in action first in, Curtis' video.

Now, I must make myself press the "Submit Reply" button :frown:

 

[maxwell_smart007]

If I win, I'll donate my CURRENT clock to the name drawn second...

Mind you, my clock is a piece of 2x4 with the words 'Time to buy a clock' written on it in a Sharpie - so I guess I'll just put it in the burn pile for you!

Edit: added "CURRENT" to be clear - I'm keeping the Mesquite clock, WHEN I win it! :biggrin:

 

[mredburn]

Cheer up Chuck "IF" I win the clock some where around 5pm sunny Florida time I will email you a picture of the clock and a beer on Fridays. That way you will always have a picture of the clock you could have won.

We know how a few people can be real [strike]pric[/strike] sticklers about rules and rule wording. So, let's clarify. When you say "donate my clock" are you talking about this clock

A clock

or this clock?

Another clock

Surely you weren't referring to that 2x4 thing....were you? Unless that was a 2x4 piece of Koa. I know someone who might pay for that.

To be clear - I'll keep the NICE clock I'm going to WIN, from Curtis, and the ugly, hand-selected Canadian 2x4, made of quality spruce, and defaced with a sharpie, will be sent to - you, for being a stickler!

 

[Dalecamino]

Just a minute here!! I thought I established early on that, the clock from Curtis is, MINE :biggrin:

 

[Gary Beasley]

I didn't get a comments section either, but my username is there anyway.

 

[Ed McDonnell]

I had a little checkbox asking if I wanted to include my IAP username. When I checked it I got an input box. I actually logged in to paypal rather than using the quickpay feature. Maybe that makes a difference.

I think everybody should try it again and see how it works!!! Keep trying it to be sure!!!

So, hopefully you were successful? Although, you shouldn't get your hopes of winning too high. I'm certain I'll win the clock. I can just feel it. :biggrin:

Know what I mean? :biggrin: Joking of course. Your support is appreciated and, good luck.

 

[mredburn]

Wink Wink Nudge Nudge. Right Chuck.

 

[MesquiteMan]

You know, if you are not interested in receiving the clock but would still like to support IAP, you could always buy points in another person's name! Maybe as a think you to someone or just for the heck of it! And no, I am not fishing for points in my name! I would transfer them to someone else anyway!

 

[Tom T]

Curtis,
Really nice clock. Can't wait to win. It is not likely, but possible. I am feeling lucky because I won one on identify the wood contest.

If anyone is wondering, it's spelled T-O-D-D_L-A-J-O-I-E...

Whatever it takes :biggrin:

 

[GoodTurns]

In my continuing effort to not be pointless...I have acquired my point! Thanks Curtis!

 

[firewhatfire]

got my winning entry submitted.

But y'all go ahead and keep making donations to the IAP. Jeff don't mind.

 

[GoodTurns]

got my winning entry submitted.

You were a few minutes late...sorry

 

[Dalecamino]

got my winning entry submitted.

You were a few minutes late...sorry

You both were late. I won it yesterday :biggrin: But that's ok!

I think the standard rule applies - only bearded Canadians of Swedish descent who currently have six feet of snow in their yard - are eligible to win...

I deserve a vacation! I've never had to shovel that much to try and find the back door doorknob before

It's higher in drifts, but it's about five or six feet deep uniformly - and we just had -33 this morning, and -40 windchill - in nigh on March! Usually, it's either cold OR snowy - we've had both!

I'll be shoveling in June at this rate!

 

[Rick_G]

I watched that video and that is one cool clock. Not only does it have a nice smooth movement but it plays nice low background music as well. Gotta have that one so went out and got some points.

I bought a snow blower (great investment) If we get that much, or anywhere near it, I'll look for a loader :biggrin:

Yes, Rick, I'll be watching that second hand sweeping the face of that clock while, drinking a cold one this summer. :biggrin:

 

[Dalecamino]

Hey folks!! There is still time to get your Appreciation Points for a chance to win this NICE looking clock. NO 0ne wins it until the drawing. Check it out
click me!

 

[maxwell_smart007]

I have a snowblower - I tried going through the snow in the back to try and clear a path to the drain, and I buried it - the chute was below the level of the snow - sheared a few pins!

 

[mredburn]

I was going to take a picture of Florida snow piled up at my garage door. I have been cutting white plastic and all the plastic sawdust looks like snow. Then I said phhht and went in and had a beer.

 

[MesquiteMan]

went in and had a beer.

Seems like you do a lot of that! That clock sure would look good in your den while you are sitting there having your favorite! The smooth sweep second hand will be even smoother than your favorite beer!

That's just not right. You know we're suffering thru the worst winter in 20 years.

 

[Dalecamino]

Darn! In all the excitement, I just realized I forgot to enter my user name in my last purchase :redface::crying:

 

[Tom T]

Me to, in all the excitement I forgot as well.
