WORLD FIRST: Corona Virus support Giveaway.

That is the coolest of GAW selections techniques and a fine & fun (albeit stacked ;)) GAW altogether. Congrats to JohnDF. Thank you Meako.

Now - a confession - because I think it's funny. :rolleyes: When I made my entry I thought I was being clever and referencing the rolling ball of JohnDF JohnDF I wrote "My name is JohnDF and I am in for your generous offer". This seemed obvious to me that I was in wearing a JohnDF mask, so to speak. BUT the entire crowd took it to be that I too was throwing my IN to John. NOT. :( Oh well - a case of being foisted by my own petard. I knew better that to try to retrieve my little good natured irony bomb and so rolled with the win for JohnDF. No regrets. Any excuse to have a good laugh, even to myself :D and who could deny JohnDF after all - a decidedly deserved win. :thumbsup:

Basically I wrote all the entries on bits of paper and put them on the table with some bread underneath....the rest was easy.

Thank you, my friend. It is going to be a most cherished knife and I thank you for your generosity. :cool::thumbsup:
And meako meako , you never have to worry about me flipping, selling, or ever getting rid of the knife... it will be cherished. :cool::confused:
 
This is very exciting for me.
I've passed on buying Forum knives in the past for various reasons.
I've always wanted a Forum Knife that meant as much to me as the actual Porch means to me.
Finally, this is THE ONE that fits the criteria. It is full of good will and generosity that this place is so well known for.

Special thanks to meako meako for hosting this generous GAW
Added special thanks to chuck4570 chuck4570 for being lucky enough to win it on my behalf
And finally, thanks to all the Porchsters that generously threw their names in the hat for me too... Hope I don't forget anybody

Glad you won, John. I was going to make a joke and offer you something for the knife, but decided against it. :p:p:D

Yes, yes & yes!
Very cool ending, very cool selection method, Meako :cool:
