You Mass boys are something else. Mine will be here tomorrow or Friday. The later it arrives the less wait I have to endure for Christmas eve.

A Backbeach Jake Pencil Popper! Pearl white with a touch of fogged pink down the sides! It's the first ornament on this year's tree! The wife liked the way it looked so much that she suggested we do the tree with just plugs this year....

Redneck;
I'm very glad that you like that Red Sox popper. That particular idea turned out to be very popular for me in '05. I have to make a few more to fill out my owesies list, then I will retire it! Enjoy it! Merry Christmas!
Larry, if you want one put your name on the list:uhuh:

Charleston

Everyone please listen.
I for one have realy enjoyed this Christmas swap. The idea was soly that of Big Fish the Elf.
I think we should all put Larry on our OWSIES list for '06 and send him a plug.

What say Yee?....................Merry Christmas.!

BigFish
12-23-2005, 05:38 PM
Charleston......I appreciate the thought, but my pure enjoyment of being involved with spreading a little Christmas cheer and sharing in some camraderie with my fellow builders is very gratifying and I am enjoying watching you all fall like dominos in your efforts to keep from opening your cherished Christmas plug! You are, as Freak has said, like a bunch of excited children on Christmas Eve......enjoy my friends....a simple gesture from one another to share the holiday! We will be doing it again next year...on that you can plan...with a little more notice!:happy:
