The pin event a live report from the trenches

[Raulandpinboy]

Hey gang my last post of the evening. I will going to the Pin event Thursday as are many of you.

For those not fortunate enough to get to Florida, I will have my Digital Camera and will be posting pictures daily of what is going on, what pins come out, and so forth…. A daily live report from the trenches you might say.

I know it's dangerous, and you will say no no Ed its too dangerous, its not worth it… save yourself we will be fine here in the picture less dark.

And I say poo poo, I laugh at danger… I welcome it… I will do it for those I love, and had to leave behind here on the boards.

I will keep you all informed by mighty Odem (got this from Norway in Epcot sound powerfully cool)… THIS I VOW… they can have my digital camera when they pry it out of my cold dead pinless hand. I….. Will….. Upload you can count on it.

So anyway wish me luck, and keep an eye out for my updates.

We'll be waiting!

Don't you mean Odin? Odin was the highest, or holiest of all the Norse gods: the pervading spirit of the universe, and ruler of the heavens. All the other gods were descended from him. The personification of the air, he was god of the sky and winds; god of victory, universal wisdom, poetic inspiration, and god of the dead. Those who wished to prolong their lives made human sacrifices to him, and it was said that to worship Odin gave men strength against their enemies. Odin craved universal wisdom, and in this pursuit travelled to the underworld in the morning of time to drink from the Memory Spring. The guardian of the spring required Odin to trade one of his eyes for a drink. Odin gladly accepted, and as he drank a vision of the future appeared before him. He saw the death of his favourite son, Balder, and the eventual deaths of nearly all the gods, including himself, in the final battle of Doom. From that point onward, Odin, easily recognizable as the one-eyed god, always appeared to be mournful, and deep in thought. For this combination of wisdom, strength and poetic inspiration, Odin was believed to be the patron god of the aristocracy.

I think you picked a proper god, but mispelling his name may have caused irreparable damage and we will ALL suffer as a consequence. Good luck however. Of course, maybe you weren't refering to a helpful god at all. Perhaps it's the make of your digital camera.

I thought the god reference was a play on words M(ighty)ODEM. I think Odin probably while somber has a sense of humor and will smile at linking the past with the future. Anyway, my question is ......Is Raulandpinboy related to Arizona Jeff? If not, they may be kindred spirits.

To answer the question I wanted to say Odin, since as a child I wanted to be a Viking, but due to copyright laws I could not use him unless I paid a royalty, and hey I need my money for pins. I'm sure Odin will understand. (I hope)

Odem is one of those southern two or three for one words like yeatyet, you know like Oh them pin traders…… Hey is anybody buying this.???

OKAY I boo booed, so sue me... wait it was a spell checker screwed up… darn you Bill Gates you are the antichrist.

So anyway I swear it by mighty Odin… now go look at the pictures I posted gahead gahead.

Oh and yes Arizona Jeff is my mothers cousins father uncle-daddy twice removed by my sister's aunt with the hair lip named Joan I think…. Wait no that was somebody else, anyway if Arizona Jeff wants to adopt me it will cost him just a few pins.
