This is why I volunteer here on IAP...........

[D.Oliver]

It's not the fame and glory, or the sizeable paycheck. It's knowing you made a positive impact on someone else. Check it out. I got a package in the mail that had the following letter and gift inside.



After I reading the letter I thought to myself "Man, I wish I knew who wrote such a nice letter". Then I thought "You know, wood turners often like to sign the bottom of their works....Just maybe if I'm lucky............". I flipped over the mug and low and behold there was a name and a date.




So I encourage you to enter the "Slimline Unlimited" and / or the "Turning Challenged Contest" so that I can have a positive influence on your life as well......:biggrin:

I don't have the fan base that you have, but I'm seeking to build mine by hosting not a measly two contests, but the three contests most likely to win you a bob. Check out the pen stand contest, the pen box contest or the kitless contest - those contests are where the action SHOULD be!

By the way, it seems strange to me that a box of blanks some how created a travel mug....

 

[Kenny Durrant]

Nice Mug. Is that the bob that i see as prizes for the contest? If so there will be several happy winners!

 

[mredburn]

Speaking of Bobs...................................:biggrin:

 

[triw51]

Is that Bob the one legged man in a swimming pool?

 

[jttheclockman]

I think there is another way to view this thing. With that letter and a TRAVEL mug well I am just saying. Maybe he wants you to get the bleep out of the way so he can climb the mountain. Just like they are doing to AROD. You may be our AROD.:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

I'm not sure you can't all the people carrying pitchforks and torches as a fan base........................:biggrin:

Nice mug Derek. Bob does good work. He sent me one a while back as a thank you for some t shirts that I did for him.

 

[Edgar]

It's a TRAVEL mug and the letter is obviously a riddle. I'm sure that he meant for you to pass it on to the guy running the Mind Bender contests.

 

[Dalecamino]

Well deserved Derek. I can never be like you, so I won't even try. :biggrin:

I hope you receive that new SUV I sent you :wink::biggrin:

 

[bobleibo]

That is hilarious! I take my hat off and bow down to the master....for now!

This is why I volunteer here on IAP...........

And I thought it was a condition of your release from prison for hijacking all those threads on IAP....:biggrin:

 

[CREID]

I would volunteer but nobody ever drafts me.:biggrin:

Oliver, is this sort of like the second grade excuse note "Mrs. PE Teacher, please excuse my son from PE today because I am too tired to run laps"
