Anyone gotten you Anorexics yet?

i recently performed a test with busse combat where they were on one end of the phone and i was on the other.

busse 56k
me 128k

on the word go they posted and i instantly if not sooner responded

5 minutes 34 seconds later they got my mail

go figure?:confused: so if there were 50 or so guys waiting and some ordered extra you could get past a couple of hundered pretty damned fast.

i looked up and timed myself reading jerry's post for the aba, with full comprehension and spead faster than a rabid skunk it still took me 37 1/2 seconds to read the ad and figure out just what deal i wanted, and i'm faster than the average polecat!:rolleyes:

so from now on when ever jerry post anything i'm not even going to take the time to read it i will auto respond and say "i want what you got, my visa's in kassi's wallet"

sooooooo.... anybody want to sell there # one for me today cheap:p
 
Yep, chalk that up as a "learning experience".

I sure can't think of a better way to do it.

Thanks for your patience.

Mike

I regret my earlier post. Sometimes you should just keep your thoughts to yourself and this was one of those times I should have and didn't.

MikeH,

First of all, you must remember the now legendary words of "ThatHamGuy". After having been beaten to a deal by Raden at the BLADE Show (that Raden didn't know ThatHamGuy had been working on for quite some time) Raden apologized for beating him to the deal, and ThatHamGuy, in a spontaneous combustible utterance that slipped out from between the tears, raised his cloven hoof like a wounded traffic cop and uttered. . . ."No Regrets. . . No Regrets Man".

It was a classic moment in Hog History and has now become the battle cry of the INFI Hog! "NO REGRETS!"

Second of all, I appreciated your earlier post. I just buried one of my closest friends who had suffered for more than 15 years with pain that was so severe, they had to install a morphine tank in his abdomen that would automatically pump the morphine directly into his spinal column. As I stated before, he NEVER bitched, whined, or complained. And when anyone expressed their sympathy for his condition he would kindly refuse it with his oft repeated line, "Do you know where the word 'sympathy' falls in my dictionary? Right between '$hit' and 'syphillis'!!!" (sorry for using the word "$hit" but the quote just doesn't make any sense if you substitute it with "shaving cream" ;))

MikeH, Your daughter is a fighter and any story you can share about her fight is welcome here. I think that it is easy to lose perspective at times and your story brought perspective back to the discussion. Thanks for that.

Your daughter remains in our thoughts and prayers and we have little doubt that she will continue to improve. We're hoping to see her at next year's BLADE show.

Thanks again, and All is Well,

Jerry

Amen to all of the above Jerry.

As far as numbers goes here is my two cents. They are nice to have the low ones, but unless you set out to own every single numbered one, you will never have the whole set so who gives a damn! You know darn well that you will never round them all up, so being fantical about it is silly. Having low serial numbers doesn't make the knife better or the collector more prominent in the group. Since I have a single digit set of LE Mofos, I don't feel superior to a guy who got an unmatched set in double digits. I feel lucky to have them yes, but no better than the newest guy here. Part of the fun of being an INFI Hog is the collecting to be sure, but the main factor is the comraderie (sp). That friendship that we all share here is what keeps me coming back. Bickering about a stinking serial number just craps all over the tradition we have maintained here. I would hate to see Jerry discontinue numbering models, but if that is what he is forced to do to avoid all of the belly aching, then I sure wouldn't blame him.

As for the ABLEs and the DABs, I would just be happy to have mine show up. :D
 
hey, don't forget me:confused: i have to live out here with all those idaho potatoes, it takes the half life of uranium for my knives to get here. the only decent number i had got smoked:p

badgers, BADGERS, I NEED THOSE STINKING BADGERS!

and as for darkhog... he's a fricking PIG:cool: :D
 
Just so everyone knows.........EVERY SINGLE ANOREXIC BADGER HAS BEEN SHIPPED AS OF LAST FRIDAY!! I know this because I came in on my day off (Friday, my sons birthday) to help the shipping department. I would've even taken the time to deliver them all by hand if I knew all this was going on. I haven't been on the forums much because we have been so very busy. If anyone wants to know their tracking number please email me or call me and I will give it to you. I'm sorry if I sound irritated but I get upset when I see Jerry upset.

I love you guys to death and I don't anyone to feel left out or thinking that we favor other customers.

I think we should all take the day off and do something that we've never done before, something spontaneous!!! Like bungee jumping, ski diving, or even go streaking!! We need to liven things up a bit!!! LOL!!

Anyway.....I love you guys to death and I hope you all have a great week!!!

Thanks, Kassi…your efforts (and those of the other folks at Busse Combat) are sincerely appreciated. I know that I probably contributed to the aggravation by sending in an e-mail last week expressing some concerns about the billing/shipment for my ABLE…I apologize if I caused any additional stress. As it turned out, my concerns were unfounded (I misread my CC account record). I should have learned to trust the good people at Wauseon by now. While I’m definitely anxious to receive the knife, I realize that it’s certainly not a major issue in the grand scheme of things…I’ll attempt to be more patient in the future.

At least I don’t care about serial numbers…;)
 
Thanks Kassi! Maybe you guys should set up a BusseCam. That way we could just log on and see how freakin' crazy-busy you guys are all the time. Then we could contrast it to the calm, polite, friendly voices we get when we give you folk in Wauseon a call.

It's been said before, but I'll say it again. Jerry will make it right. I'm sure he's done it as right and as fairly and more importantly, as he stated he was going to. Besides, who needs no stinkin' numbers? Numbers just make you not want to use it. That's the antithesis to Busse's. Whack'em baby! I haven't met him mano-a-mano, but he took the time to personally straighten out an order a week ago. I was talking to Holly to inquire as to the whereabouts of two or three orders that were outstanding. Next thing you know, the larger than life voice of the big man was on the phone. Deal done. I haven't received it yet (Custom's, grrr), but I know part of it made it to Arizona before it comes north and crosses the 49th parallel. BJB is a happy potato. I'll be a very happy potato when the postie rings...

I think I've come up with another solution. It looks like many of the binds (excepting world peace which would reduce service demands) will be looked after with the new ordering and production regime. However, there is only one Jerry. It sounds like he works 16+ hours, seven days a week, and barely sleeps. Perhaps we could clone him a couple of times. The original Jerry could park himself infront of the grinder and/or CBL fridge (with occasional Jennifer visits). Another could direct production of the regular runs. A third would be able to talk on the phone, reply to emails, go crazy on goofy threads, and go to trade shows. A fourth Jerry could be kept in the cryo-tank so he could be brought out in case some dork a la Osama wants to make some more problems. All would be content and life would be easy in Busse-land.

What I've been trying to say is that as far as my experience goes, Jerry and everyone at Busse has integrity to the nines. You can't ask for more than that. If Jerry (or Kassi, or Shaggi, or...) said they're going to do it - they will, and how they said they were going to do it.

Cheers,
BJB :D

Edited to reflect what I meant to say, but got side-tracked.
 
From Kassi's post I should be hearing the pitter patter of little INFI Badger feet soon on my front porch. I will love him and hug him and squeeze him and take him for trips in the country. I can't wait. Yippee! :D
 
Both my AB and ABLE arrived today. Thanks to everyone at Busse Combat for your hard work :D:D

BTW, the knives look great :D

Yes, those words are almost as famous as my other cry "Dang, was that our exit???"
 
ABLE #95 and DAB in hand! Major dilemma! These things are so nice in pristine condition, but just have to be used. I thought that the BAIII was the best user Busse to date, until the AD took over that category. Now cones the AB, which absolutely begs to be taken hunting and fishing.

Kimberly is at home since last Wednesday. Last Thursday when I opened the Uncle Mofo package from Wilco, she gave me a big smile, a big AAhhhhhhhhh, and a thumbs up. She had the same reaction today to the AB's. She wants very badly to hold one, but I am leary of her hand control with such sharp objects just yet.

When she was about ten or so and it became obvious that she was going to be the other hunter in my family, I gave her a small hunter/skinner by Ek. (In a previous post I said Entrek, but that was incorrect.) After her accident, I found the small Ek on her front car seat. She does not remember ever seeing, owning, or driving the car at all. She does not remember me teaching her to drive in my old Chevy pickup. But last week when I showed it to her, she remembered that knife.
