Online HOG Induction . . . . .

:D I've acquired 5 SHBM's since late January and have a sixth on it's way from a trade :D....I can definitely sniff out INFI. I don't have too many in posession now...16 but they're all very high in my favor! After I find a 1/300 or a 1/6 and get a couple ergo's and some anniversary knives I'm going to give it a rest for a while and start a new car project.

Maybe I can have some bumpers made of INFI :p
 
I STILL SAY YOU AIN't HOG UNTIL YOU GET THE GOLDEN HOOVE SALUTE FROM THE BOSS HOG HIMSELF!!
 
Good thing you are not in charge, sport. You come off crabbier than I do and thats goin' some. Pete
 
I guess one of my REAL qualifications would be the amount of time and effort I spent looking for the Southern California MOTHERLODE Nuclear Payload. I sent off a gang of emails to some very helpful hogs, plotted some maps, bought some maps/trailguides, bought some folding shovel/picks, borrowed a metal detector and went tromping around for 8 hours in the sun before stumbling upon the area where it lies buried.

I then spent another 5-6 hours digging around, walking through and cutting Poison Oak and brush away with my machete, cutting down shrubs with my EU Mag, chasing metal readings, and digging/eventually breaking my shovel AND my pick :p. I even dug with my Eu and my hands for a while and stuck my hands in some scary looking holes (dunno what the hell was in them).

After figuring it was impossible to find the payload without a chainsaw and an immunity to poison oak/black widows/brown recluce spiders I decided to call it quits since there were so many things throwing off my metal detector and the light was failing.

Unfortunately I could only afford one full day of looking but I'll be back!!!

Well that is OK that you feel that way but we need him here to balance things out. As he said so articulately once, there can be too much “bromance" here sometimes.;) :thumbup: :thumbup:

Bravado! When are you going to sanctify your hoghood by using some INFI?!?! If you're too afraid of scratching yours up you can borrow a piece of mine...you only live down the way :thumbup:

as much as id love to be a hog, and as much as i appreciate the online nomination i received, there is much to be said for tradition.

i agree with bravado.
 
Well the way I look at it is that I'm either a HOG some day or I'm not. It is a simple question of fact.

I'll just keep doing what I do and I'll wait for someone to let me know one way or the other.

I have fun here, buy some knives, and drink some scotch while I'm at it. I'm not going to change that.

Best Regards to all of you:thumbup:

There's always the web HOG Cam! :D:p

However, I do agree with needing to be face to face with Boss Hog himself to be inducted. You see, I buy INFI (a meager few I know), I use the hell out of them, test them, mod them if desired, and share with others as well as learn a bunch myself. I know where I stand in that regard. But to make the holy trek of INFI, meet some of the brotherhood, and be inducted by Jerry himself is just the icing on the cake. It gives me something to look forward to.

Plus I will get to see and handle all the INFI in person. Maybe get some show deals. ;)

So I pretty much have the cake. Now I just need to work on the icing.

Hmmmm. I'm hungry now! :confused: I'll be back.
 
Busse; I've got 2 GW's I bought from the company store (black/tiger warden and sage warden), a Hell Razor, and a NO-E.

Swamp Rat; one Res-C Howling Rat.

Scrapyard; one dumpster Mutt.

And I've only been at the trough for the last 4 months.

Do I qualify?

Here's the dealio. . . There are many Squatch HOGs out there that we are barely aware of. . . . They buy from the secondary market and can amass huge collections while only buying a few knives from us. . . If we went by our sales records only, they would be overlooked. . . . We do not want to leave any HOG behind!!!. . . . :thumbup:

While it is true that the size of your collection or dollars spent is only one of the criteria that we use when determining HOG status, it can, nonetheless, be an important part of the equation. . .

I hate to agree with Porkerson on this one, because I usually blame him for everything under the sun, but he is 100% spot on when he says, "being a HOG is a state of mind, not a state of wealth". . . . (Nice one Bully! ). . .

So, a guy could make a case for HOG status without having an enormous collection, but he would have to let us know why we should believe that he bleeds Black and Gold. . .

Nuke on my wayward HOGs!!!!

Jerry:D

Oh heck, I can't take all of this being nice to the Bully. . . . If you don't qualify for HOG status then do what I always do. . . .

I BLAME PORKERSON!!!!!!

. . . . there, now that's a lot better!!!:D

"I know this sounds crazy, but ever since yesterday on the road, I've been seeing this shape. Shaving cream, pillows... Dammit! I know this. I know what this is! This means something. This is important..."

Good luck to all considered, whether by online or @ BLADE in Atl.!!!

Tony G, I agree. Room for all opinions and points of view. Just saying that I'm glad Cap'n Cranky isn't in charge or he'd have everyone go through Survival school just to be considered for associate Hogdom. Jerry and crew are much easier going and those I've dealt with are a pleasure to deal with. Pete
 
Back on topic. From what I understand, an e-mail to AMY-0 will answer your questions on all topics INFI and internet Hogdom alike. Pete
 
The online induction simply serves as a precursor to the real deal "in person" induction. . . . We recognize that it's nearly impossible for some folks to ever get to a show so the online induction will have to serve. However, we will always induct HOGs in person, including those who do it online, once they make it to a show.

So getting inducted online does not spare you from having to where the pink tutu and having to dance out of the big cake at an induction. . . .errrr. . . . perhaps I have said too much!!!! :eek:

We are a HOGternal organization and hazing is encouraged!!!

Nuke on HOGs!!!

Jerry

One would thing a pink boa might be required as well. Just to add a little class to the display. :D

Here's what I used to have, sadly many have found new homes. But I'm already in so I guess it is all good. :D

For all you droolers, have a good cry on me. This is what is left of my beloved collection, everything in black is gone, gone, gone.:(

Of course, there have been some small additions here and there, but she isn't as cool as she used to be, at least that's my story I am sticking to.
