Yes,I was laughing all the way from my mailbox. I saw a LBE from BeautyLLM and I thought , oh nooooo :).
After a rough week of no electricity, no phone, losing five beautiful trees , a corupt computer,.....I smiled.
Thank you Leslie, I will peruse my pin book now to find that ever so special pin that has been with me since the BEGINNING of my pin trading experience. I am thrilled that I have been chosen.
I have letter #1. Where are letters #2 and #3????
To anyone out there....if I have your address....Be very , very WARE!!!!!
Remember, I traded for a lot of state pins...muahahahahaha!
Susan the Zinged
Woops! Forgot to disclose what the very RARE and valuable pin was. It was the ever so popular ( 137 people trading) pin # 6299
100 yrs. of Magic Promotional Vehicle. ohhh ahhhh

Hi Susan,
Just so you know I got #3 Zing from Robin (perndwler) today.:D
I got Pin 3130: Epcot Holidays Around The World Dinner Pin . It is really beautiful.
Made me smile after my husband told me there was no mail :rolleyes:

Yep, believe it or not, I have the #2 zing letter, LOL! Epcotkilterfan (Debbie) , you surprised the heck out of me!!!
The pin that I got was Pin 5099: Epcot Pin Celebration Countdown MGM Studios Dangle, 81 trading and 40 wanting :eek:

Actually it is supposed to be quite balmy today. High of 30 today.

I wish it was 50 so I could wear shorts and sit by the pool! Hey Debbie, we hit 32 up here in Michigan, and even got a little sun! Any rays breaking through the clouds down there in OH for you?
EpcotKilterFan
02-28-2003, 10:10 PM
Sun???? Is that what that bright round thing is???? Well if you were within 10 miles of the lake you got clouds... south of that you got sun... Gotta love Ohio
Soooooo (to keep on topic) who is the next to be zinged???

I have mailed Zinger #1 today.
I have chosen a valuable little bauble.
I think it has 103 people trading this fine gem with ELEVEN people wanting it. This pin left a permanant imprint in my trader book ....it had been there for sooo long. I will miss it...N O T !!!
I hope the person I sent it to will keep the zing going.
Way fun....glad I got to join in the fun.

When I saw a few days ago that Susan got zinged, I debated about responding to the post, but decided to lay low. That strategy didn't work.........I am the next ZINGEE!!!!
Thank you Tennisnut for the ultra VHTF Spin and Marty pin.
Now what to do???? Should I keep this "treasure"? or should I share my good fortune with someone else?
And who should I send the ZING letter to? These questions and more will be answered in the next episode of ........
All My Pins!
(P.S. Thanks Susan, this is fun!)

Glad you were impressed with my VHTF pin and that you don't mind being Zinged.
I am also glad that Spin and Marty arrived safe and sound. I know you were surprised that I didn't put gobs and gobs of insurance on the package.
Your address just popped out at me as I always enjoy seeing you at "the WORLD".
Good luck in picking out that "special" pin. I had a hard time as , unfortunately, I had MANY to choose from :):):).
Oh, oh, I can't wait to see who Daber chooses to ZING.

Well, I'm trying to get my pin bag ready for my plane trip to WDW this weekend (Have to get the Figment St. Patricks' Day) and I found just the right pin to send. So Spin and Marty are staying with me.
As for who to send it to......that was a tough choice. I looked in my address book and there were too many great candidates to choose from. But the ZING letter in back in a new LBE with a turnaround time of less than 1 day and going to............... (ooops I almost said it.....) Yeah, right!
To those who didn't get zinged, don't think that I didn't consider you.

I am so happy to see the ZING chain letter back, and hope these 3 keep going for a long time. Congrats to all the zingees!!
ps.....may I make a suggestion to the Leslie, Robin & Deb, maybe you could put up a post from each of you, Zing Pin Chain LBE # 1, etc... Just thought it might be a little easier to track which one was what and who the receiptents are. Just an idea. :)

Got it in the mail today... Karin I reconized your name but I don't remember trading with you OPENED it and what a horrible pin!! Not wonder it sat in the book !!!!
I'll be sending this out to someone.....Who I haven't decided..
I don't know if being ZINGED is good or bad..
But it was fun...

<b>The ZING<i>ot</i> (#1) has landed . . . <font color=blue>ON ME!</font></b>
From frosty Ohio to balmy Maryland, Cindy (goofymom/pop) has brightened my day with one of the most (in)famous pins ever made! :eek:
<h3><font color=red><b>Pinpics # 1: Celebrate The Future Hand in Hand - 2000 Dancers (Rectangle) !</h3></font></b>
I am shocked. :eek:
I am aghast. :eek:
I am speechless! (Well, not really, because when has <i>that</i> ever happened??? :rolleyes: )
How could this be an <i>untradable</i> pin? Surely, everyone knows how </b>valuable</b> this pin is?
To quote a <i>reliable</i> eBay source:
"...the mold was broken, the entire stock ordered destroyed, <b>only a few</b> saved from the dumpster/inferno/depths of destruction...."
Well, I will certainly <i>try</i> to find a <i>more</i> untradable pin in my bag, but <b>it won't be easy!</b> :smooth:
And on whom shall I bestow this highly sought-after, incomparably desired, super trader ??? :smooth:
<b><font color=green>I guess you'll all just have to wait and see . . .</b></font> :teeth:

I can't believe how fast ZING #1 is going around. Is this the list so far?
1. Beauty LLM
2. Tennisnut
3. Daber
4. GoofyMom/Pop
5. Eeyore's Pal
6. Duckfan
Wow, We are moving right along!
How are numbers 2 and 3 doing?
Do we win a prize ;)
Oh wait.....maybe we don't want that :cool:

There's a ZING in Richmond!!
Zing letter #2 arrived addressed to Lauri, and it's ... well ... it's ... wow ... umm ... it's ... welllllllll ....
It's going to be on it's way to the next person. :)
BeautyLLM
03-20-2003, 10:14 PM
Congrats Lauri!!!
Zing 1 and 2 are accounted for...where's number three??
Duckfan
03-23-2003, 12:15 AM
after expressing much fear and trade to my fellow chat mates, it actually happened. Yes, it is true. After all the years when zings have passed this small fish by.......I have been zinged. Eeyore's Pal slipped one under the wire and got me! I am happy to say she did not send on the lovely dancers pin for which I am greatful since I really had a hard time getting rid of the one I had.....but I think something is amiss for I actually like this pin. Does that mean I have to send it back? Well, now to the challenge, no it is not picking out a pin to send on but who to send it on to that I have an address for and has not got zinged.......
wait, I just got an idea, a terrible awful, terrific idea

Aawww, I see it arrived safe and sound. I just returned from WDW. I could have sent you some of the new RARE, HTF, LE, CM pins I got but you didn't want any of those slacker pins.

Well, I got zinged for the first time in all my years of trading. I have no idea which of the current "zing" letters it was though. I received it from Michelle (number8duck on PinPics) and sent it on to...another party. Thanks for including me in the cycle.
