Can someone explain Zing to me please!

[Beauty]

Is it like a chain letter of pins or something?

 

[holycow]

The Zing is when someone has a pin and they send it off just because they feel
like it! When the person receives the pin they have been officially zinged!...now, they can either keep that pin and zing someone else or they can send that pin off to someone else....

Now, I personally haven't been zinged but it is my understanding that is how it is done!

(did I totally confuse you? LOL)

Well beauty it was like this.

I was sitting in the living room eating popcorn and watching "The Bone Collector" with the lights down low.

Nothing could have scared me more than what happened next.

Then the doorbell rang it was UPS with a huge package. I signed for it, and proceeded to open it up. I guess I should have been nervous since the box had air holes, and there were shhh noises and giggles coming from inside.

But I'm a brave soul, so I opened it up and Boomshanka out popped the Three Caballeros and Dom, The first blonde Leslie yelled out you have been Zinged, they handed me a pin, and then I had to drive them to Disney World and take them shopping.

Oh and by the way you have to pay for all purchases, food, lodging, whatever, thats why you want to find somebody to Zing so you can ship them away.

But wait there's more they get to pick the region you ship them to, and this time they wanted Paris. (Paris pins you know)

Do you know how hard it is to get a pin trading buddy in Paris, ever since the pins came out, they are all in hiding for fear of people asking them to get pins.

So now you know why I offer pins to people I'm looking for victims' err I mean friends to send them this wonder thing called a zing.

So last night I found a sucker err I mean a fellow pin trader to share this fun and exiting thing called a zing.

Once you zing you become a zinger and you can say you have Zinged and now are free. But be nice because you could get zinged back, then you would be twice zung.

The formula goes like this if you are Zinged you become a zinged one, when you zing IE you have Zung, and are now a zinger that was a zingie, if you zing a friend you're a friendly zinger, zing another pintrader and you become a Zagnut zinger, zing a family member and your out of the will. But never get zung by a zinger zingie because that would a double negative zing zang and you have to appeal to the zingzing board as to how to unsung you zinger.

Get it now it's easy.

P.S Pierre when you open the box Dom likes to yell surprise and take pictures so act surprised ok. Thanks

Oh and Leslie you left your walkman here I'll ship it to paris.

 

[Dom13]

Yippee!!!

Im off to Paris!!!

Hope I'm back in time to go to work tomorrow.

 

[lovingthemouse]

OMG - i laughed out loud on that Raul!! Thank you so much for the explanation - now if the zingee who was zung last decides to zing again, can the zingee be double zung????? Listen, i know that i am not part of that CT contingent, thank heaven some of us live just north of the CT border in MA, but these kind and gentle folk are my buddies - so, if they go to Paris, i'd darn well better get a ticket too!!!!!!!!!! Caroline

 

[Dom13]

Hmmmmm....wonder what the postage to Paris is for 3 Caballeros.....and Dom and Caroline. Could get expensive!! Better get back to work Raul!! Enough Zanging around!!

 

[BeautyLLM]

Darn, It's gonna be a long trip without my Walkman....I'll have to practice my French instead...

Parlez vous Francaise? Je m'appelle Leslie. Comment allez vous? Repondez sil vous plait. Uh oh...that's all I know...now what? How about a round of frere Jacques? Did we pack food? Jelly Bellys? anything?

I know, I will do the verb zing in Latin...zingo, zingas, zingat, zingamus, yikes...can't remember that either...guess I will have to nap for the entire trip and dream of getting the Paris PTP off a lanyard!

[BeautyLLM]

Leslie

 

[shortcreek]

I just happen to have two WHOLE bags sitting on my desk....

(who's wondering if I should become more of a regular before I offer a zing bribe?)

 

[Mickey527]

Yea, I have never been to Paris. Of course I have never been to CA either, so if the box gets stopped there I won't complain too much.
I don't think anyone can give a better explaination than Raul, so I won't even try.
I started those dang zing letters a long time ago. They got lost somehow and died out. I think it was Eeyore's Pal ( I am sorry if it wasn't and I am giving the credit to the wrong person) who asked if she could start them up again.
There were 4 that went out but only one is circulating. I hope it keeps going. Maybe someday another will start....... Peggie

 

[pintrader]

Is THAT what the 18-wheeler Atlas Van Lines truck is doing backed up to the Otero household? I thought that Frank had delivered our ham and cheese quiche from the Contemporary. OK I have 3 lbs of buttered popcorn jelly belly's should I send them? It sounds as if there is going to be a bigger crowd than the usual "ZING".

 

[goofymom/pop]

Passports.....

Jelly Bellys for the Kennicut group.

Twizzlers for me,

Popcorn packing supplies to keep from being bounced around too much,afterall we dont want to squish poor Dom. Boy are you out numbered Dom.....lucky guy!!

Well is that it.....

cindy

 

[BeautyLLM]

Kathryn....Buttered popcorn jelly bellys....eeeewwwwww.......Got any toasted marshmallow? cherry? Lemon drop? tutti fruitti? A + W cream soda?

Peggie, Wasn't itSharon(TDC Blue Fairy) who sent out the newer zings? That's who mine originated from.

Leslie

 

[Mickey527]

Leslie,
Your right, I couldn't remember. It's the Oldstimers again. Sorry Sharon. Peggie

 

[lovingthemouse]

ok - first of all Peggi - they are called "senior moments" which we're experiencing. Lately i have had too many of these!!! I think we began by talking about being zinged -- which i never have been -hummmmmm, what would you say it is comparable to????? Never mind! Then we got into the trip to Paris which Raul formerly Raulandthepinboy promised to send our friend Dom on, with the rest of us of course. Somehow we gravitated to food: jelly bellies, marshmellow, popcorn (caramel, of course) and other gooey, scrumptious stuff. I have no clue where this is leading, but i am totally confused now - which is becoming too easy for me lately. Anyhow my CT friends, if we are going somewhere, can we leave soon??????
Raul, where are the tickets?????????

 

[Mickey527]

Caroline,
In the words of any true Caballaro "Tickets, we don't need no stinkin tickets".
Raul has all of us stuffed inside a box. Those shipping charges are going to add up though, he may be better buying us tickets.
And if we are going to ask for food for the trip Jelly belys are just not going to make it. I need substanance. Get me some of those Beaver Tails Raul, with hazelnut chocolate.
He can add popcorn for shipping to protect Dom from being bumped around, but we would prefer the carmel coated please.
And toss a few pins in there. What would we talk about on that long trip if we don't have pins? Peggie

 

[ScroogesNephew]

Webster's Collegiate defines 'zing' as 'a shrill humming noise'.

 

[BeautyLLM]

Poor Daniel Webster....he must never have been zinged....so he didn't include the other definition...the one having to do with pins!
