Old Troll's Did Anyone Ever Actually Build That CONTEST

[member_3]

Oh, Sir! My blushes! Thanks for the kind words - and it's not too late to get in on the fun. You have until the 31st to sample my bargain basement selections at www.oldtroll.com

And I also toast you with my newly poured draught of single malt scotch. Hail Ron! I regret my absence from this huge frolic. I would pull out one of my own Maly's just to "play at home" except I really cannot afford at all to let myself be distracted from the C. Good job there, buddy.

Your mantra, Carl, is "Charlemagne, Cruisers, Charlemagne, Cruisers". Stray not from the golden path (or yellow brick road, if you will) on which you are so gracefully striding. And pay no attention to the Troll behind the curtain!

But I would've loved that Indian Head Penny!!! Sigh. All right, back to the mines...

do you know something I don't?

Sorry - I'm originally from Massachusetts and do not understand English as spoken in most of America - perhaps the correct phrasing is highest-ranking? Regardless, it wil be given appropriate consideration in the scoring of your (currently imaginary) entry. Strangely enough, you are currently the highest scoring of the 13 contestants who have not started a build thread. Keep up the good work!

i wonder how that happened :D

Woohoo!

My Package has finally left the US. (Hopefully it won't take too long now!!)

In the dialect I speak the term "rankest" usually implies the person who performs the most outrageous antisocial acts often mostly involving both alcohol and unattached females - optional on the unattached.

Pay no attention to the order as it has everything to do with the current (unofficial) standings. For those who have just returned to planet Earth, it is not too late to make a qualifying purchase and join the fun. See the beginning of this thread and then go to www.oldtroll.com. There are plenty of desirable models still available and at least one more Indian Head Cent.
