Back at'cha:

What would it take to get you there?

You are a long-term supporter with 377 posts. I'm thinking of an LBG 'scholarship' program whereby LBG will pay a portion of the event's cost based on the individual's post count. I know you are in school -- at least you were the last time we met in cyberspace -- so dollars are no doubt tight. So, your case may be extreme. Nevertheless, would such a program be a motivating factor?

And now the hook . . .

\\:D/

What if you really wanted to come, and you had already earned discounts at the 250, 300 and 350 post level. Would the 'hurdle' of 400 be an encouraging circumstance?

If so, I'm thinking we might get something going here . . . and get more than one or two people off the sidelines and into the game!

P.S. This is really golfgnome's idea. I'm just taking all the credit! Unless, of course, it doesn't work out, in which case it will be all his again.

:)
By the way Yoda, you aren't affiliated with the Make a Wish Foundation, are you? I'd really like to know how long I have to live!

With your operation pending . . . are you asking as a male or a female?

Does it change the answer to the question?

This could depend entirely on the LBG Homecoming Classic room assignments.

:shock:

Recalling the words of that famous Kingston Trio Hit, Charlie on the MTA:
Let me tell you the story
Of a man named Charlie
On a tragic and fateful day
He put ten cents in his pocket,
Kissed his wife and family
Went to ride on the MTA

Charlie handed in his dime
At the Kendall Square Station
And he changed for Jamaica Plain
When he got there the conductor told him,
"One more nickel."
Charlie could not get off that train.

Chorus:
Did he ever return,
No he never returned
And his fate is still unlearn'd
He may ride forever
'neath the streets of Boston
He's the man who never returned.
What goes unsaid in all this is:

Mike O was on that train.

:(

Mikey . . . don't off Lynn until after this school deal goes down . . . your pills . . . take a handful.

I'm out.
Oh my!!!.... R-O-F-L!!!!!

FYI - I got a little PM pointer from Bucket a couple of weeks ago. Can't tell you how much it helped solidify my ball striking which had gotten a little "sloppy"!

Don't believe him when he gets all "condescending" on ya!

Now even the Green Machine is throwing darts! :naughty: Unfortunately for me you're exempt from my hit list.

Regarding Cometgolfer's post- everyone should know that Bucket actually not only posts under "12 Piece Bucket" but there are another 22 frequent forum posters that are indeed also Bucket in disquise- Comet Golfer is one of those aliases. Much like Phil Henry who has a radio show where he pretends to be the caller and the host - goes back and forth with himself.

It's only February but these 12 pages may well be Thread of the Year. I wonder how many new people, just cruising through the site and trying to get a feel as to whether to join, came across this thread and said to themselves, " What the hell was that!?" I've met Yoda and Yodasluke, but only know the rest of you from the posts on this site. I think I need to make a strong effort to attend whatever event comes from all of this---and I have medication for some of you. Carry on. Dr Dave

Lots going on behind the scenes, e.g., venue, dates, special guests and participants, LBG logo-ed and personalized tee gifts, tournament and special recognition awards, LBG Student Manual, econo-pricing (subsidized golf and housing :)) and format (including a 'day before' Yoda Intro to TGM for those who want to get up to speed before the Fire Hose gets turned on).

:eyes:

This will be a fabulous event -- a true 'homecoming' for those who have read and learned from ol' Yoda and his dedicated crew these past four years -- one that, years into the future and long after I'm gone, attendees will be able to point to with pride and say:

"I was there."

:salut:

I am as excited as Bucket at a Tyson Chicken Plant! Well...almost. I'm not qualified to attend, but details have always been incidental to me.

Since the Crusades there has not been much of a reason for a pilgrimmage...until now.

Plus I might get to meet Richard the Chicken Heart!
