Default sorry one more thing

I didnt want to give this away cause I payed almost $400 for it
Its a Large winter jacket, (but fits like a X-Large)
its a Columbia Titanium, ive used it maybe 10 times, its mint
just way to big for me....

I would like to see it go to a needy youth,
or someone in need, rather then someone just wanting a nice jacket

Sad to see this come to an end, but hot dawg it was a furious run!
Can I ask the more veteran members how this year ranked compared to previous ones?
I've got to communicate and even meet a few members from this thread and it was pretty darn nifty!
It's not about how much you give, but in the spirit of which you gave it.

Ken, thank you!
You truly are a shining example of a respectable man.
Hope that next time this comes around I can help more,
This has been a great experience for me, even just when I was just watching.
Seeing so many people give, share, re-give and donate to a wonderful cause,
Really is just a big ol smiley face sticking its tongue out at all the threads worrying about the world and society and what it's all coming to.

Good people gravitate towards each other, an I am darn lucky to have drifted by chance to this thread and forum.

Well, I am certainly blabbering on, I am so proud to have been even a tiny part of something so great.

Well said and you echo my thoughts.

I giant thank you to Ken obviously without you none of this would happen. A big thanks to all the members that were involved. I was able to meet a few of you and feel more involved in the forum and closer to it. Thanks as well to Mr. Annonymous for his donations.

Next year is going to be awesome.

Well I thought I would update my involvement:

Bagwan received my PIF back massager. gitrdun received the vest after Cabertosser pony expressed it down.

I received Lone Wolf's Ducks Unlimited multi-tool in the mail. Wags pony expressed my bow that I picked up from YeeHaw as well as he brought something I purchased from ABB down to me. I picked up Lone Wolf's ammo that he picked up from Cabertosser. I will be pony expressing to Lone Wolf on Christmas eve as I head east for Christmas.

I wish I wasn't a student and I would have been bidding on some of the stuff. I've been on this forum for almost a year now and I love this place!

Thanks to Ken for making this happen.

Thank you all for participating, for giving so freely, and for making this such a fun event.
It was by leaps and bounds the biggest, most successful, most fun pif thread we have ever done.
I may just do it again next year.

Once the money is all received I will put a total up.
There are still a couple items that end tomorrow, I will update and ask he thread to be locked Tuesday.

I will vouch for Duckchaser... he's my dad. I was bidding for him until he was able to join AO to participate in this charitable event.

I hope you also have a super wonderful day.

A big hearty AO welcome to Duckchaser, and a big thanks for helping contribute to out charitable cause, I'm only sorry your initial welcome wasn't quite as charitable. Welcome aboard!!

You're absolutely right...nobody appreciates a D-bag. Perhaps you owe this gent an apology?

So sad to read something like this. Hope you are drafting up an appropriate apology to Duckchaser.

Welcome aboard Duckchaser! Hope you enjoy your stay here and please do not let the above drivel cloud your judgement of AO or the numerous fine members here.
