Well you know I was kidding. I am not a Star Wars fan, but have a wife and at least 5 of 6 children that are. And a lot of friends that like it too.
I do have a light sabre on my desk at work left by a departing co-worker, which I brandish on occasion.

I knew you were kidding, and it was quite clever too. :thumbsup:

Wow! I saw yesterday that we were getting near 1000 pages and then checked in today to find that we'd blown right past it. A huge congratulations to Jack Black for creating this thread and to him and everyone else who has contributed to its success.

I thought I'd share a few statistics which include posts up through page 1002.

Number of posts by year:
- 2016: 551
- 2017: 3,068
- 2018: 6,726
- 2019: 9,697 (and counting rapidly!)

Number of active contributors by year:
- 2016: 62
- 2017: 103
- 2018: 126
- 2019: 114 (and counting, I hope!)

Most quickly filled page: #1001, completed in 41 minutes and 50 seconds.

As you can see, this thread has really taken off. It's quite an impressive feat! Kudos to those of you who are able to keep up with it all.

Thanks for the stats...makes the movement of this thread clearly noted.

Here's mine at the Pain Management Dr.'s office today, not the best photo, but maybe it will get me back in the flow of this superhighway!

Yes I do my friend! I think this is all of them! This is a rapidly put together group shot and I’m afraid I may need to get my ladder and one of my Canons to get a better photo. Of course since I stated I’m In already this photo is just for the viewing pleasure of The Guardians!

Oh, that is a nice collection, Ron... some wee ones, some biguns, thanks for

I'm in ! Jack, many thanks for all you have done to bring this fantastic pattern to this side of the pond .....and the other side of other ponds too.... Dang it, you know what I mean, thank you!

A very nice grouping Kevin, that Ironwood '19 is a stand out.

That could easily be done with this group :thumbsup:

Good Tuesday morning Guardians, had a bit of snow last night, going to make dog training wet and cold today. I'm leaving earlier to be able to navigate the dirt roads without endangering my existence. Have a great day.

Wishing I could share a little California sunshine, but I'm sure your dog will enjoy the snow. Nice Lamb picture too.

Absolutely awesome pic Ron, what an incredible collection

Thank you Jack!

I knew I would probably forget one and I did! I got this Senator with Horn covers and worked back spring from Charlie! I’m carrying it today and thinking about him!

Beautiful Horn Senator and a lovely sentiment. We are all praying for Charlie's good health.

Not an entry to Jack's very generous GAW, but thanks for hosting the GAW to celebrate the Guardians thread milestone, Jack! :thumbsup:

Congrats to all of the Guardians, but especially to Chief Guardian Jack, for this amazingly prolific thread!

Best wishes to all the entrants.

Even though I'm not entering the GAW, I'll post a hastily-taken indoor photo of my flock. From the top down: Man Jack, Valley Jack, Black Jack, Lam Jack, Union Jack, Cracker Jack, and Lamb Shark. (I hope including my Old Timer "Lamb Shark" is acceptable, since I think of it as one of my first lambsfoot acquisitions.)

I’m in. Thanks for the opportunity. I love the smooth, almost polished stag on my lambsfoot. Looking forward to a few more down the road.

Cool mug Vince

Thanks, Jack. Here's the other side:

And Good Morning, Guardians!
Going to be a great day: got invited to a barbecue, and going to shoot my .45 calibre automatic (1911, of course--I AM a traditionalist!).

I'M IN !

Always been a fan of the wharncliffe and sheepsfoot ... haven't yet found a way to come by a lambsfoot - really like that design though !

John

I think it's better than both. If you don't have one, there is another thread for a giveaway (Jack posted the link above--I think on page 1,000). You have to post a picture of a knife. This thread giveaway I think is for those that have at least one, and we have to post a picture of our lambsfoot collection. Jack always gives clear instructions. Good luck!
