February 2016 Donation Draw- More of the same, but not!
on: February 10, 2016, 03:35:53 PM
By now everyone knows that each month I try to come up with some silly way of announcing the draw, but sometimes I have to go to a bit more effort than others.  This month was a little easier, and it started a month or two ago when I got a message from my old buddy Bob, aka J-Sews.  He said he was ordering these limited edition Skeletools, and did I want one? 

Well, I didn't respond right away, largely because I didn't realize I had a message.  By the time I responded and told him I'd take two -one for me and one to give away to a lucky member, he had already bought two for me.  It's nice to have friends that think like you do!

Even though we did a fancy colored Skeletool in January I decided that we should try again.  This one comes from the factory and is new on package.  So, I asked Bob to send me some photos so that I could use them for the giveaway this month, and, well, that's where the silliness started.   :facepalm:

What follows is the unedited emails between Bob and I.  Heaven help us all....



Or did you want a photo with just one of them in it??
 
Bob





Just one would be cool.  I don't want people thinking they can stea...  uh.... win two of them.... :D

Thanks a lot.  I really appreciate you thinking of me when you got them!



No problem! There, how's that?




That looks lovely!

Perfect!

Picasso couldn't have pulled a better picture out of his ass!

And I'm not just saying that because I don't actually know how many megapixels Picasso's ass was rated for....



Ha! I don't think I would want a picture that came out of an ass like that.



(I don't care what anybody says about cubist expressionism - that man had access to some seriously powerful mind altering drugs!!)



See, now here I thought sending you a bizarre comment like that would be enough.  I should have known you'd run with it!



You've got to appreciate having friends that are just as messed up as you are, and inspire you to push the envelope!

He did eventually send a photo of the tool by itself:



So, after all of that, what is so special about this one?  Well, it is a factory issue Coyote Brown Skeletool, brand new in the blister pack, and it could be yours for as little as a measly ten bucks!

All you need to do is donate the equivalent of $10US to the Forum Operational Fund and, if we hit our monthly goal of $275 we will give this fancy Skeletool away to a lucky winner!  For each $10 you donate you will get another entry- $20 gets you two chances, $50 gets you 5 chances and so on.

You can donate using the link above, the Donations link at the top of the forum or using the big orange Make A Donation button on the right side of your screen if you are using a computer.

That's about it, as usual- any questions?

Yes, Boss, two of them actually.

- This is a combo edge Skele, right?

I tried to express my point in public once but the judge says I can't do it again.

I would imagine that it is a combo edge blade since it's a Skeletool and not a CX.  But that's just a guess- you guys have now seen as much of these as I have!

Did the judge know anything about art? :D

I wonder what he'd have to say about my (mostly negative) thoughts on Dada? :think:

That's awesome!  We made it with a few hours to spare!

There's still 45 minutes to go, so if anyone wants to get in while they can, they better get on it!
