Well in keeping with the traditions of looking out for your fellow group members and since we are stronger than the Masons or any fraternity group known to man.

Today we make one of the inner circle elite a bona fide hero…. Yes our very own Mike Allensworth, AKA Dana’s hubby joined the ranks of great men like Superman, Spiderman, board moderators, supertraders and really hot fashion models.

How you ask? Well that’s the rest of the story.

Last night a small group of the national elite inner circle members, IE June, Bob, Jimmy, Heather, Michelle (Manny was in Orlando working) Dana, Mike, Brittany, and Justin, decided to go out for dinner in of all places a Cuban restaurant, now this was really bad because the non Miami visiting members of the group had never eaten Cuban before, once they tasted the tempting goodies it was all out war, and gluttony reined king. Well our very own Bob loved by all decided to tackle a piece of pork that was as June put it bigger than a small 5-year-old child… Well the pig fought back, grabbing Bob in a chokehold… So June asked Bob who was turning blue at the time if everything was okay, he nodded no and kept pointing to his throat, June asked if he was choking, and Bob nodded YES!!!

Okay the score so far, June is concerned… I mean who will buy the pins if Bob is gone??? Michelle and Dana are still yapping at the mouth and are clueless as to what is going on, Jimmy and Heather are still trying to decide what the heck flan is???? And the kids are kids so they have tribal immunity.

But my man Mike just simple got up walked over to Bob and performed a most awesome Heimlich maneuver, in one great big squeeze Bob popped out a 21 ounce piece of pork which caused Heather to scream out “that’s disgusting Bob what do you want to do make me sick” Dana and Michelle said what’s going on??? And June stopped going through Bob’s pockets looking for change. Oh and Jimmy he tried the flan and is hooked.

But in all seriousness Michael Allensworth you are a hero my man!!! Yes this did all happen Bob did choke and Mike did save his life.

And in true hero status after it was all over, he asked Bob if he was alright, and just sat down, to the stunned on looking diners he said it was nothing and continued eating his dinner.

Later on when asked if he had ever performed the Heimlich before he answered “No but I did stay at a Holiday Inn express last night” that and “I had to do it I like Bob”

And yes Mike you did say it right when you said “I guess this will put me on the boards huh” you are on the boards you have my thanks and the thanks of all of us that like Bob.

You sir are a hero, and you have my thanks for saving my friend Bobs life, I will as all of us will be forever grateful THANK YOU!!!

On a side note the restaurants attorneys will contact you in the morning for performing the Heimlich maneuver in their restaurant with out the proper certifications or permits, you have violated Ft’ Lauderdale code sections 608.5667 and 678.3421 in the county of Broward in the state of Florida. That which states no unnecessary saving of a life will be executed in any said state environmental location without the consent of all knowing participants, restaurant patrons, owner, the Pope, and the Queen mum, without having prior written consent of the aforementioned witnesses. Sorry Dude.

Disclaimer:

The term inner group refers the inner circle of friends family and anybody that love pin trading, family and friends, hanging out with any of the aforementioned above, a true love of Scoop all the he stands for, and an undying love of Ed AKA Raulandpinboy who was not present at the activity because he was with his mother, and has a note excusing him from dinner. Membership to the inner circle it hard to come by, you have to want to be in it, and you must love pins, trading, hanging out with pin traders.

If you want to be in the inner circle repeat after me

“ I want to be in the inner circle, so can I write check… Yo!!! No Yao!” Hold your hand up towards the heavens and say “ Congaloosh”

Congratulations you part of the inner circle… Welcome

And Mike Thanks again for helping Bob, life without Bob would really suck.
 
Whoa... way to go, Mike.

Someone get that man pin #5658

I don't even know Bob, but now maybe I'll get to meet him someday :)

Julie
 
Julie what a great idea!!!!!.. And if you are going on the cruise, you will get to meet both of them...Michael is Dana's hubby, and they handle our cruise ressies...they are wonderful, and take care of just everything...(shameful plug!!) and if you haven't booked through them, you should...the bunchof us here wouldn't use anyone else!!!

anyway, We are so glad Bob is OK, and Michael is wonderful!!!!!!!!
 
Wow, I can say I met a hero once.
It is nice to know that someone knows how to save lives in your group. You have to know Heimlich when you go out with Ed, he maks you laugh so much it's almost dangerous to try and eat at the same ime.
And we are all glad to hear Bob is ok, he hasn't finished his contract on that new floating phone yet.
Ed, someday I wil have to tell you my personal family FLAN story. It might be even too gross for you.
But is it true that the "elite" inner circle can write checks to Disney? You guys rule. Peggie
P.S. Where was Donna, the nurse in the group, who was trained in Heimleich?
 

What a cool post!!! THANK YOU!!! We missed Ed and
Donna at dinner. They were at a special get together
for Ed's family and were really missed!

I know when they arrived for breakfast this morning
they NEVER thought they were ever going to hear
the story of the events from last night that they did!

We are SOOOOOOO Proud of Michael and we are SOOOOOOO
Happy that Bob is ok (we all love him you know and he
is one awesome guy!!)!!

You never know when something is going to happen, I mean
in a SPLIT SECOND, your whole life can change. It all happened
so fast!!! But, Michael really was amazing and words
are so hard to find to say how happy we all are for Bob being
ok and for Michael acting so quickly when he did.

The night was really unreal, we went to this really cool
Cuban restaurant that Michael and I have gone to for years
and wanted Michelle (who knows her Cuban food and also
living with Manny a fantastic chef to try their food) they
have great food and have music playing (it even was really
funny, the guitar player that was there was playing Carmen
and some other spanish songs but then started to play
some extremely unusal little tunes - Spanish Chicken Dance Song,
one of the themes from 007, there were some really odd
other songs and the SPIDERMAN THEME which is when
everything happened right after that and Michael went
into action!! So we were all just sitting eating and have
a great time and then everything happened with Bob, just
that fast - out of nowhere!! You really learn to wake up
and appreciate EVERYTHING!!!

You all are just the best and THANK YOU for ALWAYS being
there!!!

We look forward to seeing everyone real soon and MAJOR HUGS!!
Counting the days and glad that you were coming down and
got to come to the pin meet!!!

Really sweet posts that mean SOOOOOO much!!!

Dana :)
 
WoW Michael...!!! Way to go...!!! As Ed put it...life without Bob would suck!!!

WOW!!! What an amazing story! Michael, thank you for your quick thinking and for not panicking...You saved Bob's life!! A real hero! And from the inner circle!! :teeth:

Bob, I'm glad you're ok, it must have been awfully scary for you! You might want to think about cutting your food into smaller pieces from now on :teeth:!!
 
Guys,
What an amazing night!! I feel terrible because I was sitting right next to Bob and was oblivious that he was choking until I noticed Michael standing behind his chair with his arms wrapped around him. You guys should've seen the size of the hunk of meat that flew out of Bob's mouth like a projectile missile! Luckily, it didn't hit poor Brittany(sitting across from him) in the face or she would've been traumatized for life and unable to eat Cuban food ever again. Michael was totally cool about it. He calmly got up, performed the Heimlich on Bob, and went right back to his seat and kept eating his Churrasco steak, black beans & rice without missing a beat or saying a word. We all just sat there in stunned silence. Bob said "Thank you, Michael" and the waiter came over and asked if Bob was Ok and needed anything. Of course, the rest of the meal Bob cut his food up into teeny tiny little pieces.
In honor of Michael Allensworth's newfound hero status, I would like to respectfully submit to Queen Leslie my recommendation that Michael be appointed to the realm as:

SIR MICHAEL, LORD OF THE HEIMLICH

Michelle
 
SO LET IT BE WRITTEN, SO LET IT BE DONE From this day forth, Michael Allensworth shall be known to all as:

Sir Michael, Lord of the Heimlich

As such, this symbol shall be forevermore affixed to his royal crest:

pin5658


Three cheers for Sir Michael, Lord of the Heimlich!!!

:bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce:

(I thank thee, Lady Michelle, for thy excellent recommendation!)
 
OH MY GOSH!!!!

I am in shock as I read, this is unreal!! I am soooo glad Bob is ok. And so happy "Sir Micheal" kept his cool and did what was needed. WOW!! I just don't know what to say, it is unbelievable!

But geez you guys, I need to get back into my "pin life" more I'm missing all the fun! I am hoping to making it down with Fred of course, to the June meet. I also need a good dose of WDW. It' s harder now with keeping after Mom and all. But we'll get there. I miss everyone!! And I miss the Mouse's House!!! WAAHHHHHH!!

Love you guys!

MEAN IT!
Winnie
 
I saw a guy use that "hindlick" maneouver once at a country bar, din't quite get that same response as this one though!!!!!
Bob, I hope you learned your lesson; you shouldn't count your chickens before they hatch and, make sure the pig is cut up in small enough pieces.
Pork nuggets for you next time, 'till you learn to cut the big pieces of Arnold small enough!!!!
Boy, wait 'till PETA gets wind of this thread!!!!
If I had been there, you guys would of had dinner on the house, you just had to let Bob get a light shade of blue and then call the waiter over! Works every time.
All the same, good work Mike! Your paint day is forgiven!!!!
Manny:p :bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc :smooth:
 
Thanks for saving Bob :mad: ! He was on his way to join me in the Underworld until YOU stepped in! And now the Queen knighted you..dude...

Lord of the Glad You are Okay Bob!
 
Sir Michael,
I especially want to give you a BIG THANK YOU. I don't know what I would have done if you weren't there to save Bob.
You were so fast and confident that I didn't even have time to
panic!!! You are my HERO.

We always considered you guys great friends but now you are
truly family and we love you all. We are very, very lucky to have you.

Thanks,
June
 
Mike,
Mark this down this is my first post ever!!! and it is only because
of you that I can post it.
YOU SAVED ME - DUDE. I can't thank you enough and you were
so cool in doing it.

All kidding aside, I am lucky you to have a great friend like
you.

Thanks,
Bob
 
WOW!!


Michael is a true Super Hero, but I think he resembles this character a little more!

Thanks for moving so fast, and happy to hear Bob is ok, it would not be the same without him.
 
Michael (who I fondly call Allensworth) -

WOW MAN, You saved BOB!!!! You are the man!!!!

We are all very proud of you!!!

Way to be alert man!!

Bob, Glad you are still around. Cant wait to see all of you soon!

Michael
 
I went to dinner with the "inner circle" once not then knowing I was sitting Center Circle in the "Hollywood Circle" (as they like to call themselves). I remember how welcome they made me feel offering me the privelege of picking up the tab. They sat me next to Bob, who as I recall, expelled things throughout THAT meal as well, although not all through his mouth, e.g., he sneezed.

We ate, drank, and colored, and I wondered why I awoke with Mike hugging me over the back of my chair. It all makes sense now.

Mike, you deserve the Congressional Medal of Honor, along with everyone else that puts up with Ed.

Bob, like a fortress protecting those near and dear, the Inner Cirlce will always be there for support. Thy cup runneth over.

Ed, reading your reports always bring me such joy, and proves once and for all I need to focus on my duties as a reporter because YOU SCOOP ME EVERY TIME!
 
This is my first post on a disccusion board as well Bob! First and foremost, I'm glad your ok! When we arrived at the restaurant , I started to sit at the opposite end of the table.
Fate and with God on your side that evening Bob, I decided to sit with you and June at your end of the table. I don't believe in Heros, although I have to say with all the kind words from (You Bob), June,Ed, Michelle & Manny all of our inner circle pin Scroopies/Groupies I must say you have made me feel like a hero!

Thank you all for the kind comments and anyone sitting in my chair would have done the same thing, with the exception of Ed of course, he would have done a backwards flip over the table
and then would have applied the award winning move on Bob!

Thank you all for always including us and thank you for supporting Dana on Saturday at her Pin Meet.

We look forward to seeing everyone soon !!! Michael Lord of the Heimlick - Thanks to Queen Leslie!!!!!!!

Michael :)
 
HOLY COW!!!!!! Bob.....glad you are still with us.....Mike.....darn glad you made sure Bob is still with us!
Geez, I was thinking just the other day, "might be fun to hang out with Ed and friends some night....." Now I am not so sure.......well unless MIKE is there, of course!
