Raul is dead long live Raulandpinboy or whats in a name well okay then

[Raulandpinboy]

Me jamo Raul, and my sidekick is Pinboy? …..Hellllllo like so NOT TRUE. It kinda sounds like one of those 70's sitcoms like Starsky and Hutch or Kojak…. No wait drop Kojak lets go back to Starsky and Hutch it so sounds a bit more manly then Raul and Pinboy don't you think.

It could be I'm one of those Spanish Flamenco dancers, and my sidekick Pinboy is one of those kids that looks like a Chihuahua that stands in the corner and claps yelling ole every now and then…. No no no that's not it.

Welllllll thanks to Perdita, Figgy, the Three Caballero's and Don, I found that unbeknownst to me a great gathering of people that follow my posts have been referring to me as Raul and Pinboy.

Eeeemagine my surprise when all these people starting asking me where was Pinboy. Not to mention all those people that yelled out hey Raul is here as I walked in tonight… I naturally thought the troopers had a very good time at the dinner, and had a few drinkypoos too many. But then Perdita made it all clear and explained the Raul thing.

Well gang wrong wrong wrong I'm not Raul, but I see the error of my name choice… it could be Raul, and as for my alter ego Pinboy he no en casa today.

I'm not a flamenco dancer although some times in my office at lunchtime I don a pair of castanets and play bolero really loud while stamping my feet yelling ole. (Purely for stress relief honest).

The name is Bond James Bond… oops sorry fantasy time… It's really Rauland Pinboy. And now for a history in names… Rauland is the name of my company, which is Rauland Borg Corp of Florida. The Borg is Borg Warner, as in Time Warner AKA the and we now own all the communications in the World haahahahahaha Warner company. Oops sorry power flip thing going on there. Rauland comes from Mr. E Norman Rauland a pioneer in the field of broadcasting, vacuum tubes, and school intercom systems… you name it we got it. Our Motto "Anything for a buck"

So since I have been Raulandboy on AOL since like 1988 I figured add a pin and Walla Raulandpinboy…. But just as sure as someone always says hey is the guy in Epcot playing the bagpipes in the Canada world wearing anything under that kilt, or as sure as four out of five people ask a castmember so you trading your champion pin. Somebody read between the lines and got Raul and Pinboy.

Any way I'm not mentioning names as to who started this whole thing (see Perdita your secret is safe) but hey you can call me Raulandpinboy or hey what the heck Raul works too. But as to Pinboy lets talk dude.

But you know Raul and Pinboy kinda grows on you after awhile hmmmmmm.

[Luv2Roam]

I thought Raul and pin boy too. Our imaginations were running rampant!

 

[TIGGERSMOM]

Hey I thought pinboy was the one on the tight shorts with the high voice who joined us at Big River Grill works!!!

You just can't trust some folk!!

 

[Perdita&Pongo]

err - I mean Ed. No, I take that back; I DID mean RAUL!!!

Darlin' you will now forever be known as Raul. I apologize for instigating this whole thing, but as you see I was not the only one thinking it was "Raul and Pinboy" and not "Rauland Pinboy"!

I am glad you were wearing that poloshirt embroidered with "Rauland" and your company logo, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to imagine what you meant by 'Rauland' when I first asked you about you your screen name!

Long live Pinboy!!!

~Nancy~ (exhausted from the big Pin Party weekend)

 

[Perdita&Pongo]

Just bumping this up to make sure EVERYBODY gets to read

"What's in a name: The Rauland Pinboy Story"


~Nancy~ (it's all my fault)

 

[Figgy]

LOL I thought it was kinda cute myself.. When Perdita called me over and asked me to say your online persona it was too funny. I thought you were gonna smack your head in frustration or something. You know I look at and I still can't think Rauland... Just doesn't have the same ring to it...HEHE

 

[TinkerPixie]

Whoops! I made the same mistake........Sorry

 

[KathiWithAnI]

Oops, add me to the list too

Raul/Ed,

I met you at the Big River, but since you were introduced as "Ed," I made no connection to Raul and Pinboy.

Of course, I thought Raul and Pinboy were a father and son pintrading team. I guess my mind doesn't work as dirty as some other folks here.

Quite frankly, after knowing these people almost a year . . . I'd say stick with Raul. No one will ever remember "Ed." They just don't retain anything that isn't directly related to pins!

 

[Cherry]

Me, too. I'm with you, Robyn, I thought it was a father/son team.

 

[Raulandpinboy]

Nancy all is forgiven, and now I kinda like the Raul thing it has its perks, and here are the top 10 reasons for staying Raul.

#1 anything goes wrong its pinboys fault.

#2 Raul a sexy Latin name, it speaks volumes and just says Latin lover all over the place.

#3 Tag team wrestling duo Raul the Latino, and dirty tricks pinboy.

#4 if I run into a shark I can say Hmmmm let me consult my partner pinboy before I trade.

#5 a reason to finally wear Speedo's with a name like Raul it fits trust me

#6 a way to finally put those flamenco dance lesson to good use. Ole

#7 that weird 70's movie called eating Raul (yes it does exist)

#8 The people at Rauland will never know about their Vice President's weird obsession with these little metal pin thing that do not make us a profit.

#9 It makes me sound thin.

And the #10 reason why it works……. Drum roll please….. The sound of my voice saying Se senorina jur pins make jur eyes shine like the moonlit Nile… me amore drives the ladies just plain nuts.

Long live Raul Y'all Yee….. haw

 

[Eeyore's Pal]

The Nile is in Egypt. I don't think they speak Spanish in Egypt.

 

[Mickey527]

Ed,
If I saw you standing in a group you would be that last I would pick out to be a "Raul" but now you will be Raul to me forever.
but Raul in a Speedo??? that I just can't get out of my head. Peggie

 

[Raulandpinboy]

Yes the Nile is in Egypt, and no they do not Spanish, but the nearest rivers in Florida are the St Johns river in which the water looks and smells like diesel fuel, or the Echonalahatchee river which is infested by the Florida state bird, The mosquito.

Now you try holding a woman and saying…

Se senorina jur pins make jur eyes shine like the moonlit St John diesel fuel filled river….. or Se senorina jur pins make jur eyes shine like the moonlit Echonalahatchee.

Oh yes feel the romance tonight wow….. so Nile it is.

And Peggie I will be Raul for you, and trust me the Speedo thing will drive you nuts… you will find yourself drifting off at work, and it could cause problems for the married women out there who call out Raul at the wrong time.

So some Raul self help therapy time… mind you this is not me we are talking about here this is for therapy only…. Next time you start to wonder and drift… Imagine a 50-year-old male way out of shape in Daytona wearing nothing but a speedo and flip-flops, and eating one of those Disney Turkey leg things. You walk by and drop a pin… He says howdy little lady, and he bends down to pick it up and ten people feel the urge to sing Moon River.

There that should bring you back.

[Perdita&Pongo]

What will Pongo think if I tell him I want to go to Orlando to visit Raul?

Hmmmm........

Women everywhere will stop telling their husbands they want to go see Mickey; "Take me to Raul instead!!" they will say.

Here is a female Disney fan:

Here is Raul:

Here is that same female after meeting Raul:


Disney will hire you and make a Disney attraction out of you to make more $$!!


~Nancy~ (Isn't Moon River wider than the Nile?)

 

[BeautyLLM]

Oh Raul!!!! Such an image to leave us with!!! and of course being a lover of those turkey legs (just ask the other caballeros), I found that part to be the most appealing!!!

Long live Raul and his alterego Pinboy!!!

Leslie

 

[shirley 38]

Keep the faith and they will come.

 

[Raulandpinboy]

Three things gang.

Leslie stop eating those things... boycott them until Disney makes a turkey leg pin.

Shirley I kept the faith and built it, and they came....they bought a few pins got a drink and left.

Nancy you are most kind, but now you leave my mind spinning if I were a Disney Ride what would I be...hmmmmm
