GeoStars Posted November 27, 2003 Posted November 27, 2003 I don't make it to the forums very often and just now saw this. I'm going to attempt to get you a check via snail mail. Hopefully it'll make it in time for the drawing, if not, just pass it along to Make a Wish anyway as it's a very worthy organization. Thanks for putting this together! Quote
+El Diablo Posted November 27, 2003 Author Posted November 27, 2003 1,115.00 I missed an earlier donation. El Diablo Quote
+Captain Morgan Posted November 27, 2003 Posted November 27, 2003 BUMP again, still couple of days time left... Quote
+Cooter13 Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 3 days to put in for one of El Diablo's famous staffs and help out Make a Wish. Hope everyone had a Happy T-Day, whether it be Thanksgiving or Thursday. Quote
+Pobre Rico Posted November 29, 2003 Posted November 29, 2003 El Diablo, So, are you going to go with any donations postmarked before Dec. 1st? I don't mind waiting an extra 3 or 4 days for my staff if it means a few extras bucks for the Make A Wish kids. I can send you what I want my staff to look like if you want to start working on it....

+Spzzmoose Posted November 29, 2003 Posted November 29, 2003 Haven't checked in a while due to the boards being down. Hit a large! COOL!!! Keep those donations coming people! El Bumpo... Quote
+El Diablo Posted November 29, 2003 Author Posted November 29, 2003 We are fast approaching the end of the raffle. I know everyone would like to win the staff. I would like to think it's my staff that motivates everyone to buy a ticket, but I know better. I know you guys are very kind and have help me raise money for a worthy cause. You have taken this on as your own crusade and it is very admirable. There are no words that could express the kindness and generousity that you have shown. I won't even try. Thank you! El Diablo Quote
+El Diablo Posted November 30, 2003 Author Posted November 30, 2003 For those that are interested. With one day left before the drawing...there are 50 ticket holders with 225 tickets between them The biggest ticket holder is Pobre Rico with 28 tickets (He is a poor judge of football) I will announce the winner by 8pm EST Monday night. Good luck to all, and thanks! El Diablo Quote
+Cooter13 Posted December 1, 2003 Posted December 1, 2003 50 ticket holders Wow, that is all, lets see here with 50 entries with 225 tickets, that makes the odds at... about 20:1? Am I right? Math was so long ago that I can not remember the formula. Please help. Quote
+sept1c_tank Posted December 1, 2003 Posted December 1, 2003 Jerry, "tanks" for putting this together. It's for a great cause, and I think everyone has had fun. BTW, is MizzButterfly still carrying one our your big sticks, looking for me? Quote

+El Diablo Posted December 1, 2003 Author Posted December 1, 2003 (edited) First off...I would like to start off with a disclaimer. I didn't do the drawing.

+Touchstone Posted December 1, 2003 Posted December 1, 2003 Hey, I want a recount Congrats sept1_tank! Now you have a way to defend yourself when Mizzbutterfly comes after you with her two hiking staffs (I can highly recommend Matrix Reloaded as a training video) Quote
+El Diablo Posted December 2, 2003 Author Posted December 2, 2003 Think he'll make me carve a outhouse? El Diablo Quote
+Breaktrack Posted December 2, 2003 Posted December 2, 2003 Think he'll make me carve a outhouse? El Diablo Heck yeah! I was gonna make ya carve me a tank for cryin' out loud!!! LOL!!! Quote
+geospotter Posted December 2, 2003 Posted December 2, 2003 Congrats Sept1cTank! And thank you, El Diablo! You did good... Quote
+Breaktrack Posted December 2, 2003 Posted December 2, 2003 Uh, oh yeah, congrats to ya Sept1cTank. Anyone with "Tank" in their name can't be all bad....LOL!!! Quote
+4agers Posted December 2, 2003 Posted December 2, 2003 Congrats Sept1cTank!!! I hope you enjoy the stick as much as I have this thread and the generosity associated with it. Quote
+Cooter13 Posted December 2, 2003 Posted December 2, 2003 I think the congrats should be reserved for the children that will benefit from this. 'tank should be proud to have this staff and use it with pride. El Diablo, wow, what a great idea and what a great turn out. Thanks for putting this together and finishing it up. What a way to start the holiday season, giving to those without. Quote
+El Diablo Posted December 2, 2003 Author Posted December 2, 2003 I wonder where our guest of honor is? Any other night you wouldn't be able to get into a thread without bumping into him. El Diablo Quote
+sept1c_tank Posted December 2, 2003 Posted December 2, 2003 ...........................................WOO HOO!!......................................... I am speechless! Well...you all know better than that. "Tanks," Jerry, for a great contest with an excellent cause. And thanks to everyone who contributed to this great cause. Yes, I would like you to carve an outhouse. MizzButterfly,....come and get me!!!!!!!! Quote
+Captain Morgan Posted December 2, 2003 Posted December 2, 2003 Congratulations sept1c_tank ! And thank's again for El Diablo for arranging this. Now i'm just waiting for my next chance to win a hiking staff, so i can defend myself against Divine when i meet him next time in the forests of Finland. Quote
