The Great Stool Auction

Burlkraft · February 17, 2012, 11:58:19 AM

Right now would be a good place to "inject" summa that Doctor money ;) ;)

It's all good! ;D ;D ;D ;D

Patty · February 17, 2012, 12:21:47 PM

Roxie you have a one-track mind there girl! :D I am kinda partial to the BBQ side as well. ;)

I think our little Sugarplum got the ball rolling now! Go Norm! smiley_blue_bounce

Norm · February 17, 2012, 12:24:12 PM

She certainly did but PLEASE do not bid against me. :D

Den Socling · February 17, 2012, 12:31:11 PM

I just went to check on the bidding and fell off my stool!

Mooseherder · February 17, 2012, 12:34:29 PM

I think there is a little wiggle room left. ;D

POSTON WIDEHEAD · February 17, 2012, 04:50:43 PM

I think I'm going into the STOOL business!

Very nice work and some exciting bidding! 8)

ellmoe · February 17, 2012, 08:33:13 PM

Gitting out of the pork price range, looks like caviar and filet minon!

Meadows Miller · February 18, 2012, 08:12:22 AM

Regards Chris

RynSmith · February 18, 2012, 02:21:15 PM

Why do I get the feeling Meadows Miller figured out how to put his bid in and had a bit of an awakening?

;D

Magicman · February 18, 2012, 03:28:32 PM

A slow boat

or a fast horse smiley_horserider is not going to work for him. I really think that he needs to save up for a plane ticket. air_plane

sandhills · February 18, 2012, 05:06:14 PM

I thought about throwing a bid out there but decided I'd like to remain married ;).

Lud · February 19, 2012, 06:02:49 AM

That is a FINE looking stool! The curve and strength of the legs., the proportions of the seat and color and grain contrast between seat, screw and collar are all of the finest. A great bit of collaboration. You should be proud.

customdave · February 19, 2012, 02:53:10 PM

My hats off to the fellows that built this stool!!! Excellent craftsmanship , I like it very much ;)...

Dave

Warbird · February 20, 2012, 10:34:07 AM

Impressive stool and impressive bidding. You folks are awesome.

Jeff · February 20, 2012, 10:39:54 AM

Its thrilling to know that for the first time ever for an upcoming pigroast, Tammy and I do not have to worry and fret on how we are going to pay for things.

doctorb · February 20, 2012, 10:58:20 AM

Burlkraft-

While I would love to own that stool, at this point the doctor money will just have make a donation to the pig roast. I guess this is as good a time as any to let my buddies on the FF know that I won't be joining you in August for that expensive (or free - depends on how you look at it!) pig. My family and I will be going to London for the Summer Olympics. My best friend is a director for NBC sports, and he runs their Olympic coverage. This will be his last one he's going to do for them, so the window to do this is closing. Furthermore, my kids are growing up and this would be a very grand family vaca for us. Once they get into their 20's, I am not sure how many family outings we can piece together as their schedules get busier and busier.

I missed the Pig Roast last year with my total hip, so I regret not being able to attend and meet you all in person this year. As the Baltimore Ravens said.....maybe next year. While I am thrilled to be going to the Olympics, I would also like to see everybody in the Forum family.

So, no, the doctor is not buying the stool, but he will contribute to the party!

Jeff · February 20, 2012, 11:05:35 AM

I was pretty bummed when Bobby told me awhile back he wasn't going to be able to come, but I'm warning everyone in advance, that if my campaign to have doctorb adopt me and take me along with him to the Olympics is successful, I won't be at the pigroast either so that puts Burlkraft in charge of cooking da pig.

How's things looking on the adoption proposal "Dad"? ;D

Well Norm, are you going to jump back in? At six and a quarter, I think that I'm gonna fold...

On the other hand, if I had your money I'd still be bidding! :D ;D

doctorb · February 20, 2012, 12:05:02 PM

Jeff-

My NBC friend has been giving me grief, in jest, that I am not taking my oldest daughter's boyfriend with us! Believe me, I would much rather have you along. If somehow he did come with us, I'd rather be at the Pig Roast!

So, if I said you had a one in a million chance of being adopted for the Olympics, you could say, "At least I gotta chance!" Do they speak yooper in London? :D

Jeff · February 20, 2012, 12:45:08 PM

It's lookin good! 8) My Mom used to say I was one in a million.

Thinking that through a bit though, she usually started that sentence by saying Jeffrey and ending with a shake of her head. :-\

Burlkraft · February 20, 2012, 02:35:34 PM

That's ok Doc. I'd got to the Olympics too!! Especially on those credentials ;) ;)

That stool would make a great exam table stool..... ;D

Are ya gonna see the Queen? Last time Jill and I were through there we missed her by an hour or so at the Palace.

Ya gotta send some pics of fish & chips...I love British fish & chips.........

Doctorb - I can not tell you just how many times I got myself in big trouble because I made that same statement a little too load and it got overheard by someone - one of the 3 daughters. So, I know exactly what you are saying.
