Ok, here it is:
A quick synopsis, since everyone is more interested in talking about their own stuff and not about the overall attitude of the weekend. Thursday night was a dinner at a Brazillian Restaurant, dinner was good, but I noticed that these people didn't really eat much, at least not as much as me, so I thought they must be all Rats, but then Hamguy introduced himself, then Randucci introduced himself and Poorguy was there as well as Raden and Dave Brown, aka Dave Brown, Andrew, Jimmy and a host of others like R3VR2D2 and G29G86 or something and all these really difficult names to remember. Anyway, this little short haired blond is talking to Hammy and I overhear her and heard someone say Amy. So I say, Amy? and she says yah!, I say guess who?, she still couldn't figure me out. I say COBALT!!! and she lets out a Blood Curddling scream and runs over and gives me this tight Bear Hug, We talked a little while.:thumbup:
The next day we (Wife and I) go to the show and meet everyone including Jerry. I get to the table and I notice that Randucci is at one end, MikeH is in the middle, Kim is to his left, so I take the side and there was someone else there but I cannot remember who because I was waiting for the feeding at the trough. Amy noticed me and told Jerry wo quickly came over and said he had a long knife for me. I wasn't sure if he meant he had one to give me or if he was going to stab me with it. I figured if he stabbd me my employer, the post office would never deliver his mail again, so I waited. He brings me this beautifull fighter, but I already had this Steal Heart variant in hand and wasn't letting it go, I also had another variant in hand as well, so I was holding on to three variants all big and not letting them go so I could decide which two to get. Then I see Amy showing off this big variant at the end of the table and I call her over and ask why it is she didn't show that to me. She says it's sold to Eric the RAT! But then Jerry says but we have more back at the shop. But now I have a dilemma, if I grab this other variant I will have to put down the ones in hand and I know they will be snatched. Well I put the smallest one down and heard a oink-oooeeeeeeee and it disappeared down the table. I grabbed Erics Variant BM and looked at it. I fgured that maybe if I lick it all over and tell eric that I did, he would not want it anymore, so I did. Anyway, I put the SH down and heard another screaming oink and that one was gone. The last one I put down was the 9 inch fighter and it also dissapeared. But I had what I wanted as well so felt satisfied.
I meet with Garth who was kind of reserved and not sure how to react to me. Garth later eased up, when he realized I was only as crazy as his boss.
All said and done the show opened up for VIP's at 12 pm and by 1 pm all of Jerry's knives were sold. Amy was in shock. It was about the only time that her mouth wasn't moving at 300 mph along with the rest of her.
Night time dinner and cigar smoking fun by all - this part stays in Blade 2006
Next day we get a late start because of the night before. Everyone shows up mid day including Mhawg and more people from our forum. We all meet and shoot the crap, having a good time. As expected everyone was great. Here is the funniest part of the entire weekend: This guy shows up to sell some knives. He has a badger attack, a Mojo and a NO-E. His prices to the hogs for the BA and the NO were kinda high, but what he wanted for the Mojo was rediculous. I was off to the side and didn't know what was going on, but Hammy comes over to me and says do you think that $350 fo a Mojo mint is a good deal, and I said, that is an awesome deal, if you don't get it I will. So we both go walking back to the Busse trough where the guy is. But I noticed that Dave Brown is holding the Mojo. I politely ask Dave if I can hold the Mojo, figuring that once it's in my hand, I won't give it up. Dave looks back at me and grunted ad snarled, so I was trying to figure out a better way to get the mojo. Meantime the owner of the Mojo had walked away from the table to a trash can as he did Hammy, who is standing next to me and knows Dave won't let him near the Mojo, says "F-it" and goes over to the owner says something in his ear and hands him a wad of cash. The owner then proceeds to walk over to the table and violently snatches the Mojo from daves hand and gives it to Mike. I just about fell over laughing. I had been screwed as well by Hammy, but the look on Daves face was priceless. He had just been hosed by another porker.
Hammy felt bad later and sold the mojo to Dave for a fair profit and still a good deal. That was real gentlemanly, I will say but not very Hog like. You can bet Dave and I would not have done that. "No Regrets- Cuz that's How we Roll" is the Hog motto
more to come......oh wait, I can't talk about the Saturday night fiasco after the induction. I'll talk about the induction.
