my 1000th post giveaway

My brother-in-law came out of his house in London one morning last month to find his much loved Mercedes missing from the drive. He reported it to the police who took details and were not very optimistic.
The next morning the car was back with an envelope taped to the steering wheel. The note in the envelope was a profuse apology for the inconvenience caused and went on to say that the car was undamaged, had been fully valeted and filled with fuel. The writer claimed that he had been stranded, simply had to get home quickly and that as he was a Mercedes-trained mechanic, the answer was obvious. Finally, the note said that by way of compensation there were two theatre tickets in the glove box for a West End show the following saturday night..

Well, there were indeed and my sister & brother-in-law enjoyed a great night out. On returning home the house had been burgled and pretty much stripped bare.

Very clever idea for a comp. Thanks Absintheur.

Cheers

David

Congratulations Neeman! That Texas Jack is a beautiful pocketknife. Thanks for the contest, Absintheur, the stories were very interesting.
 
Well, I'm getting near my 1,000 post so I better think of something along these lines. I hope neeman likes his knife.
 
Oh man! As much time as I spent on BFC and I totally missed this giveaway. Although I have one of the newer Texas Jacks in CV, I have lusted after one of these older ones with the jigged bone.

Lo and behold here comes Absintheur and gives one away and I don't even enter his generous contest. Probably wouldn't have won anyway. Neeman is a good guy and certainly deserves to win. Congratulations sir.

You are a good man too, Absintheur for giving away this knife and if you decide to give away another, let me know.:D

Last I heard, Neeman was still waiting to hear from Absintheur...


...unless the whole thread was just a tall tale...:eek:
 
OK true story --- 1970---USS Saint Paul CA-73, Heavy Cruiser. It was about 2am off the coast of the DMZ. I had just finished writing in the ships log and decided to walk out onto the port wing to just take a break as we had been firing off of the starboard side of the ship and I was just beat. It had to have been 95 degrees plus with at least that much humidity. We had just been in a rain storm and it was still misting but the clouds were moving out and a full moon was on the horizon of the ocean. The light from the Moon was a solid shaft of light coming straight at the ship. Right above the shaft of light was a brilliant rainbow with the stars of the heavens in the background. Ever seen a rainbow at 2am at night? Well I have and it was the most beautiful natural event I have ever seen.
 
xbxb, good story for sure but you do realize the contest is over don't you?:D
neeman won back on the 17th of last month.
Not sure if Absintheur got the knife send to him though. Mr. A will probably fall by soon and let us know that the winner of his contest has the knife.
 
Campbell,

If I had all of the Bose knives that you have I'd have a knife giveaway every 50 posts.

I didn't realize this was a joke thread about giving away a knife. I must have missed something here.
 
I have a story! It's about a man who bought a case peanut. Then he had the "fever". Next he bought a tiny trapper. Then a RR stockman. After that he found a deal on a case tiny trapper and a baby butterbean. In the next couple months he purchased bulldogs, cases, kissing cranes, steel warriors and bucks. He decided that he would start collecting "old schrades" as well.

He'll never be able to buy enough, find enough, win enough knives to fill the empty knife shaped hole in his soul. He didn't even realize the hole was even there until that first peanut. That is a beautiful knife and deserves a nice natural patina, and plenty of pocket time!!! Congrats Neeman.
