+JoenGPS Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 We were lucky enough to win one of the YY Iron's at GCF! WooHOOO! For every item sold a ticket was given by YY. A great idea.....!! It really is a beautiful coin! Quote

KC_Jan Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 I'm excited and hoping I get to see one in the post soon... It's a fab looking coin Quote
+CyberChemist Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 The Dark Yime is magnificent! Email sent. Quote
+RifleMan81 Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 That BN Yime looks awesome with the contrast in color. Great job! Quote
+Roaring_Fork Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Yime, thank you for your explanation. RF, the coins that I had at GCF were a special limited edition Polished Gold that was only available there. The Dark and Iron Yimes are my own editions. The coins sold through CoinsAndPins were unlimited Polished Nickel and Antique Bronze. I don't even have those yet myself. I hope that clears up any confusion. Edit to add: Thanks to a friend's reminder...check Post #6 in this very thread. Also, on CoinsAndPins.com where all the pre-orders were done, the estimated ship date for the Polished Nickel and Antique Bronze was always stated as October 22nd. Quote
+TeamEccs21 Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 Coins were in my mailbox today. They look better in person than the pictures. I've got a couple of extras to trade if anyone is interested Quote
+dardevle Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 I got my coins in the mail today. He-He, they sure are nice!!!! Quote
+kehunt64 Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 Received my pre-ordered Yimes in the mail today, LOVE THEM Quote
+GEO*Trailblazer 1 Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 Got confirmation mine is on the way. Can't wait. Did get some of the other pre-orders today. We got Pony Express here still. Quote
+the_dude & sarah Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 Got our nickle and bronze coins in the mail today! They look great but the gold version is still our favorite. Quote
+fox-and-the-hound Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Thanks Yime for the coins, the chance to talk (brief as it was, sorry 'bout that!) and the fun! You really outdid yourself both in production and presentation at the event. GCF was a great time and the little one has suddenly taken a serious interest in all my shiny stuff - lol. He's quite happy to "help sort" the goods Quote
+GEO*Trailblazer 1 Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 It's about Time...... I just got a YEMON-YIME!!!!!!! Quote
YemonYime Posted October 20, 2008 Author Posted October 20, 2008 (edited) Thanks Yime for the coins, the chance to talk (brief as it was, sorry 'bout that!) and the fun! You really outdid yourself both in production and presentation at the event. GCF was a great time and the little one has suddenly taken a serious interest in all my shiny stuff - lol. He's quite happy to "help sort" the goods Hah! I only break out the "Ridiculus Shirt" for special occasions. Honestly awesome to meet you and your family. FrozenBuns is a riot! She practically wigged out when she won the Dark Yime. Good times! Oh, and folks...Xander's adorable! That kid's a charmer. Heh... I remember he reached out with a slobbery finger and "booped" me on the nose. Classic! What a truly happy kid. Although, I'm sure you've seen the other end of it...literally. Might as well borrow this post to once again thank EVERYONE who stopped by the Yemonade Stand and introduced yourselves. It's said so often here, but with this being my first large event...it really was a pleasure putting the names to faces. And extra big thanks and congratulations to JoenSue for flooding the box with entries and winning the Iron Yime! Speaking of the box... Oh shoot, let's make this an "After GCF Cointest"! This will be open to everybody, but those who stopped by the Yemonade Stand will have an advantage. So then, I'll give away GCF Versions of the Alien Compass Rose and the Geocache America '08 coins to multiple people...one set to someone in attendance, and one set to someone who didn't attend. Honor system, please. Here's the questions: For those in attendance, this is an easy one. At the Yemonade Stand, there was a "box" for entering the drawing for an Iron Yime and a Dark Yime. What was the "box"? OK, and then for those not in attendance (you Forum Fanatics) ...this one goes deeper. After the "box" is identified here, what is the subtle, underlying significance of the "box", as related to geocoins? It may sound deep, and I'll post a hint if necessary...but I'm sure someone will get it. COINTEST ON!!! Edit to add: Yeah, post the answers here in the forum. Edited October 20, 2008 by YemonYime Quote
+Sparticus06 Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Do we post the answer here? Or do I PM you....I know what the box is Quote
+GPX Navigators Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 I sent ya a PM because I could not get email to come up. This site has not been working well for me lately. Quote
YemonYime Posted October 20, 2008 Author Posted October 20, 2008 (edited) Sparticus06 got it... I didn't specify where to answer, but yeah...post it here so everyone can see. GPX, you were close. Surprised it didn't bite ya! Edited October 20, 2008 by YemonYime Quote
+Sparticus06 Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 (edited) The box is a shark It tried to eat my hand when I put in my non-winning tickets. I know what the box was used for before that too....but I wont give that away, unless... Edited: I can't spell Edited October 20, 2008 by Sparticus06 Quote

Surprised it didn't bite ya! LOL. S'ok. I was too focused on purchasing then looking. Came back later & persued. The stand was just awesome. You should have heard the fun stories about the Yemon & Yime skittles. Quote
+coreynjoey Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Was the shark used to show how geocoins have "jumped the shark"? Quote
+Crowesfeat30 Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Ok, how specific does one need to be. Does the Shark box refer to geocoins "Jumping the Shark"? I remember a thread perhaps titled "Have Geocoins Jumped the Shark?" CF30 Quote
+Sparticus06 Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 (edited) What went on in Room 266, stayed in 266 I dunno how I missed this post but I just love that dark Yime. Oh man is that thing awesome. Plus, the bald guy with the blue bag (actually my coin book), is me....lmao Sorry to go a little off the new stuff, just noticed the Dark Yime and then found the pic....I now return you to your un-normal yimeyness Edited October 20, 2008 by Sparticus06 Quote
YemonYime Posted October 20, 2008 Author Posted October 20, 2008 Was the shark used to show how geocoins have "jumped the shark"? BLAMMO! Way to go, CoreyNJoey. Nothing like a nice, quick cointest so I can go back to raking leaves. On second though, dang. I didn't really wanna go back out just yet. Oh well. Yes, a subtle little irony added in just for giggles. It had been declared a while back that geocoins had "Jumped The Shark". Plus, we couldn't find our lemonade pitcher. So this worked delightfully ironic. And yes, it did have a previous purpose...it was the YittleYime's Valentine box earlier this year! Sparticus06 and CoreyNJoey, please send me your addresses, and thanks everyone...for the quickie! Quote

I pm'd you the same time CnJ posted. Hey, it's a Yime! Quote
+yalehockeymom Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Congrats to the new winners!!! I found myself buying more coins ( at GCF) just to get more tickets! Someday I will get lucky enough to win something.... hope it's an iron! Quote
+The Moop Along Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 Since I wasn't given any tickets , I had no idea there was even a shark on the table. I think it was that Ridiculus shirt that blinded me TMA Quote

SCYoli Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Darn I actually knew what the prior use was too!! It was almost as cute as the one my son made last year...he didnt leave a slot on his box because he didnt want any valentines from icky girls!!! Quote
+whitebear Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 OOOOhhhh I can't wait for my coins to get to the great white North .....only problem is the dog sled trip makes them a bit late.....can't wait to open that package!!!! Quote
+LionsLair Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Boy oh boy was I excited when I got home and checked my mail and found these beautiful coins in my mailbox! I was upset at first, as a minor glitch was made and I had ordered a polished nickel and a bronze version, but somehow got sent 2 polished nickle coins... That just means I've got one to keep and one to trade. I was really looking forward to the bronze version though, so if anyone has an extra bronze and wants to trade, send me a PM or email! Well done on the coin design! Quote
+Kealia Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 In regards to that Dark Yime. It's pure evil, I can feel it way out here on the Left Coast. I suggest that you not mention it's name any longer and refer to it as "The Coin That Shall Not Be Named" (insert TM here). Quote
+Rockin Roddy Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Got mine!! The only coins I've ordered in quite awhile, glad I did!! One for myself and one for..... Quote

Pity though...as it's FAR too late for those who've already allowed one into their collections. It's only a matter of time before they...come to life...

But seriously, shipping departments that consist of one or two people are not exactly high-tech and intricate like that, y'know. See an order, fill an order 'til you're done. Besides, the estimated ship date posted on the website was today, October 22nd. If it makes you feel any better, I don't have the Ant. Bronze or Polished Nickel myself, and neither do some of my friends here in the area. Let's wait together, shall we? *tap tap tap* Quote
