And you will also get a 8" X 10" Picture of my Girlfirend in her Bikini gettting out of the pool, yes it’s autographed.

i’d love to offer that to you, BUT it won’t fly, at least i don’t think it will, but hey i’ll ask… it costs nothing to try.

If I win - I will donate my prize to the forum charity. Unless the engine is the real Big Boy…

Mook

Well under normal circumstances I’d say…“dude, you stole my thread…” But since you’re offering better prizes and apparently less controversial than a cat dipped in any hot substance…you got it.

I kind would like to win that picture of ME though…hmmmmmmm

I could through in a picture of me (myself…not to be confused with the proper noun…ie Kev’s ME) getting out of a pool, but it my be easily confused with one of those right whales grounding itself. When I go to the beach children frequently yell…“throw water on him and call Sea World” when they see me lying there…

Dan you work in the navy, you can’t fool me, you have to be in shape

nice try

[8D] Oh Dan - send the Mookie a picture! She just loves Sea World! Besides, I am collecting them.
