The Box is HOME!!! The Box is HOME!!!

We have defeated the evil Postal Services!!!

I will save my final comments until our virtual passers are done, so without further ado....

DocRKS is UP!!!!!

p.s. after Doc and Billy make their virtual plays, I will be going through everything and awarding the "Play of the Pass" to the one who made the best plays (lots of contenders...). I would love some help, so anyone who can make it to the Dallas area (probably around next weekend) we can make it an EMOTR Box Pass Conclusion Herf (billyjackson, homebrew, etc.???)LMK!

But did you get the host bag?

Did you open the "small box"?

C'mon!

Damn that WAS fine!

Even though me Bucs couldn't pull one out, I enjoyed that to the nub. It was different than a '64, but in a good way. There was NO way that was gonna last till Christmas.

I KNOW you're not referring to the Lucky win for Florida State! You would never take the most excellent gift that I gave you and then light it up to celebrate the unfortunate demise of my beloved Irish!!!

....you'll just have to wait until all the plays are done, and then I'll give you a complete report on the final box pass contents!!!

Ethan,Ethan,Ethan...luck would've been 21-23 in OT!

37 unanswered points is an asskicking!

If it was against anybody else it wouldn't be sweeter. I STILL can't figure out how Notre Dame holds on to its NBC contract despite the losing seasons. What goes up must come down, and vice versa, but they really haven't been the same since Lou left. Speaking of Lou...how 'bout those Gamecocks?!?

Wow...
1. What a journey...
2. What a conspiracy (by the USPS--shame on them for keeping the 1st EMOTR box pass)...
3. What a show of brotherhood for keeping EMOTR box pass alive and well...
4. What a relief...that Ethan got the box back at long last....

Glad your babies made it home.
Still waiting to hear from the USPS for the insurance, on the first box. Will let you know as soon as I hear from them.

Dave, thanks for keeping an eye on that for me

As for the final run of the pass - I guess I'll go ahead and list DocRKS's plays. I've been waiting to confirm that this is correct because he emailed them to me and I figured it had to be a mistake. Haven't heard back from him yet and I'm eager to wrap this puppy up so if it was a mistake, I'll correct it when I hear from him. Here goes:

Put:

Partagas Torpedo EL 2001 (isom as if I had to tell you)
Punch Black Prince (isom)
Don Calros No. 3
Bucanero Classico Maduro
Trilogy Cameroon

Take:

Vegas Robaina Torpedo


That's it! (Doc was never much a middle of the road guy....)

So...I'll give him till the end of the day to add any more takes, but I'm pretty sure that's all he wanted - what a guy, eh? I actually have his puts already (again, what a guy...) so, I guess if Billy still wants to take a few of these dog rockets, they're up for grabs....

drop me an email Billy and I'll send you the complete line up for you to choose from

Here's mine

tngchief at hotmail dot com

Looking forward to the list and I think that I see some that I want already!

Not to worry - They Will Be Replaced With Good Sticks! =)

Ok, guys, help me out. I sent Billy an email and he sends me one back teasing me about having these great sticks lined up for the box, but then he gives me a hint:

"Okay, A Hint - Roses and artful works..."

what the heck is he talking about?? any guesses?

(haha, billy, is that cheating??)

Billy, did you get the list?

We're all eager to see what else the "grand master" (did Zino name that one after you?) has up his sleeve for the finale of the pass! (at least I am!!)

".............................."





sorry, I passed out......





THUNK



".............................."




sorry...passed out again...




Ok, I'm going to try to make it through this one....





"....Please let me know if this is okay! "

HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's a good one!


Billy - I can't believe you - I really can't. I mean - you build up this amazing reputation and all the guys constantly keep us updated on how you are single handedly kicking every one of our butts at trading and we all know your plays are going to be amazing - but somehow you always manage to go beyond our wildest dreams. I'm sure I speak for the rest of us when I say I am honored to have you in my pass and we all are HONORED to have you as a BOTL!!!


(oh, and don't think you're going to get away with just those takes.... hehehe.... I can see your hand, now!!!)

Box will go out tomorrow!


(stay tuned for the final wrap up and awarding of the "Play of the Pass Award")

umm looks like Billy has an inside hand on that play of the pass.

I think he'll be quite surprised when about 30 of us show up in Germany to help him smoke all those gars.

Ethan, Ethan, Ethan...

I guess I am getting Old(er) and I guess from time to time I forget things. Would hate to admit that in public...LOL!

For some reason, I can't remember picking 12 sticks. Thought I picked 5 and sent 5 in return.

Oh, how this hurts...Having the memory to fade! What can I say except - Thank You Very Much - My Brother!

The Sticks for our Nation's Warriors have been spoken for by the 123rd MSB. They are located in Bagdad and I am preparing them for the trip - Along with Other Goodies. Thanks goes out to all who so willingly shared their gars.

Mega Hooah,

Thanks for taking care of the troop gars! We know they'll go to those who deserve it the most (our troops)!!

Eagerly anticipating the arrival of the Billy Bomb - and then I'll wrap everything up and award the Play of the Pass Award!

Ok, boys - let's take a break from dwelling on brothers of questionable reputation and return our eyes to one of Legendary Reputation - smithbw!!!!

That's right - the Billy Bomb finally landed! And what timing - just as we get the insurance money for the first part of the pass!!! Man, I couldn't be happier! Stay tuned for my final wrap up and summary of all the festivities as well as the awarding of the Play of the Pass (as well as runner up...)
