I am proud to announce as I'm on the cordinating committe, the sitcom trading boards first, and I hope many more annual summer picnic. This being the first year we wanted to start with a big splash so it will held the weekend of Aug 16, 2006 at Lamont's pig farm in lower North Carolina, or is it upper North Carolina. Real simple to get to. Just go thru the pasture making sure not to disturb the bull as he gets testy at times. Wear high boots as the cows don't care where they go and plenty of bug spray.

There will be plenty of grub so come hungry. I would advise you bring your own napkins as Lamont doesn't own any. If you prefer you can wipe using the table cloth which in the winter mos. doubles as a saddle for the horses.

Lamont's speciality is fried chicken in no. 2 machine oil. States it gives the chicken a strong taste.

Plenty of afternoon games highlighted by the pin the tail on Solomon using real spears.

Evening activities will include square dancing which will be conducted by Loren if he gets some free time after selling the "locals" some of his wares.

The evening will end with a "ladies choice" dance and I'm hoping Savage picks me otherwise couples will be paired off. From what I understand Red Whine has her eyes on a unnamed moderator from another board.

Please post your interest in attending.

Admission cost is 3 blank disks

Harvey

1. NO WEED WACKING ALLOWED during the festivities

2. IF you have been drinking, stay away from the sheep!

3. Please do not disturb the dogs on the porch

4. Please feel free to chase away the loose chickens

From what I understand Red Whine has her eyes on a unnamed moderator from another board.


Yeah, but he's already taken. And I've had my fill of two stepping with the three stooges this week. :lol: :lol: :lol:

2. IF you have been drinking, stay away from the sheep!



Damn it! And I was planning on crashing the party but not now if the sheep are off limits!:D

The man has a point. After drinking a quart of North Carolina shine, some of those sheep look "purty" good.

Harvey who is thinking about not bringing a date.

It should be a great time. After good food, plenty of drink, we can kick off our shows and enjoy Lamont's big screen "telly", because from what I undersatand Solomon promised to bring some of his rare commercials for us to enjoy. He has the only print of GM pushing the Buick for 1983. Can't wait to see it.

Harvey

maybe we can have a lot of wild times

:cheer: :yippee:
Harvey and Br---, ummm, a certain moderator battling in a STEEL CAGE match after we all eat

Lamont can have a class on Weed Wacker Safety Tips

Loren can ride his bike and sling mud and cow manure all over those he doesnt like

we can lift the Ban and let former members come too, Collinwood can bring NOTHING to the picnic, BUT THEN CLAIM she sent out potato chips and sodas last week and they must have gotten lost in the mail


we can even have a square dance--- OR if a "Certain Banned Member" shows up, we can rename it a HO-Down



:rofl:

Awwww, Harvey, you've gone & done it now. Picking on poor Solomon. I'm leaving. (sniff)

please come redwhine, we need you

PLUS some of these guys, that is the ONLY INTERACTION with women they might ever have

:lol: :lol: :lol:

besides, it will be fun, tvresearcher can tell everyone else at the trading post picnic how we do everything the wrong way!

:lol: :lol:

we cook the hot dogs wrong, we make the ice tea wrong,....
it will be loads of fun! :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

Oh, dear. In that case, I do think we need to make a call to a particular windy city, since I'm not a trained professional. :lol:

I have to admit, that Buick commercial does sound pretty tempting...

i dont know if that "Certain person" gives group rates or not, but i suppose we could check

:stooges:

after its all said and done, we can all watch BJ AND THE BEAR all night long, just for Joey!!!

:wave:

this is why i have to actually tell some people that Sheep are off limits!!!


My question is simply the sheelp are offlimits because you're protecting the
sheep or claiming the sheep for your own?

Them is some mighty Fiiiiiiiiiiinnnnne sheep.....

This is turning into one great picnic. Loren has offered to bring his premium franks. The only problem is if one is undercooked or overcooked, or just a bad one, don't throw it away and expect a replacement. Bring it back to Loren and he will check it out by feeding it to the sheep. If the sheep eats it, it's your stomach that's no good and no replacement.

Lamont has hired the best local talent to entertain, that being Morris & his merry weed whackers.

To help us towards making over lives richer, Solomon will discuss his new book, "getting your point across through repetition" A discussion will follow and Solomon wil autograph all copies purchased.

Harvey

1. Does Solomons new book have the original commercials?

2. Can Bad traders come too, as long as they explain how it was the post offices fault, or an evil relative that is to blame? or part of a big conspiracy?

1. Who knows?, by mid August he will change what he has said at least 15 times.
2. Yes. Every picnic will have a theme. For our first picnic the theme will be "forgive and forget" A sign will be posted advising, guns must be handed in at the door and returned when you leave. Knives will blades less then 6 inches is permissible.

Harvey

So Lamont. in the spirit of this picnic and this forum.

You do have a dead horse that we can stand around for hours
and hours and beat on right? Someone can wake up in the middle
of the night, beat on the horse and then later wake up and
they beat on the horse as well?

Have to agree with whoever wanted a cage match between the
bad traders and whoever got a bad trade. But we need to sell
tickets to this. We can cut TJ in on 20% just to be nice and
then we sell the PPV rights. If anyone has seen some of the stuff
they count as PPV worthy material we've got it made in the shade.

Black and Decker and Toro Weed Eaters can be the sponser :-)

went to the store to stock up on supplies

bought 8 tubes of lipstick (for the sheep!)

10 gallons of RIPPLE

8 extra jugs to brew up moonshine and kool aid mix to spice it up with

15 bags of pork rinds

and a crate of chewing tobacco

Can't wait. Am gonna bring all my Hank Williams albums, and went out and spent 15 bucks to buy Daisy Duke shorts for Savage.

The party will peak when RedWhine starts to pluxk her guitar, looks a certain moderator in the eye, and sings "you are my sunshine"

Instead of spin the bottle can we play spin the sheep?

I volunteer for the cage and we can even make it a handicapped match (wait with some of the people mentioned it allready would be) but I''ll take em all on. Harvey is not allowed to have the key for the cage though I need to make sure he does not sneek out with Catwoman.

The title fight will be a no holds barred fight between the Marvelous Monty and the Chicago Chick, win only by submission. No mercy rule and throwing in the towel for him Loren.

dont count on the north carolina lad to offer much of a fight, hes more noted for his group hugs,

i am also sorry i will not be able to attend, ill be redoing my premium list that weekend

i woudlnt want to be off on one of my fake trips, as someone recently put it

LOREN i knew it, i knew youd find a way to rain on my picnic!

Don't worry I have everything covered. Savage, Deb and Redwhine are coming as Radio City Rockettes, just have to make sure they kick in unison, and everything will go smooth. And then for the finale, just as there is Westminster, we can have own show, with the blue ribbon for best of porch dog. Yes, it's a new recognized breed.

Harvey

This could be a problem. Even after eight years of ballet while growing up, I've still never been very graceful or coordinated. :rolleyes:

(DH is ROFL at the visual of me being a Rockette...telling me I'd kick a pillar & break my foot & knock the porch roof down.)

Things are going from bad to worse. First my rockettes quit on me and now this. I was so depressed I contacted E-Harmony.com, supplying them with 100's of pages of data. Gave them every shred of information I could come up with. Heard the computers whizzing and after 35 minutes the printout came. To my dismay, I was told my soul mate was Dragonbear. I figured they would match me up with a hot babe and I got Dragonbear.

I better work on the picnic.

If we order from the premius list and we don't like them
do we get to return them and make another choice?

Or maybe just get a discount for the better set? :-)

no only the one who keeps snipeing at me

for no reason

its a shame someone doesnt understand what premium items are

i suggest a trip to the library to look the principal up

but then its probably more fun to nit pick and whine on my heels all the time

of course if i didnt have any premium things, i guess i would deny their existance as well

yes i would rather have a set of bj and the bear than all the items old harvey listed-- at least bj is a mover, a moronic show, but a steady mover

Please educate me. I was under the assumption if you had something it was premium, and if someone else had something it was standard. If you ever come out with a book on "here's premium, and here's standard", promise I'll buy it so I don't make mistakes in trading. Always good to deal with the authority on the subject.

sorry old bud, your not trying to learn a thing

your just trying to snipe at me

for some reason, you feel the need to nip at my heels

if you have something to say--just start a new thread and give me what for--

instead of beating around the bush and nipping at my heels

let me find out you havent a clue why your miffed at me, you just know you are for some secret reason

if you have premium list envy, tough crap, learn to live with it

And some of us prefer imports. :lol:

and thats your choice, but even im imports

a 3 series bmw costs much less than a 7 series bmw

because the 7 series bmw is a premium item

its wayyyyyyy better

no one would give a 7 series, even up to get a 3 series

its just that simple

the premium one is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better

And some of us prefer imports. :lol:


NO WAY AM I SPRINGING FOR IMPORTED HOT DOGS!!!!
YOU WILL JUST HAVE TO EAT REGULAR OLD HOT DOGS LIKE EVERYONE ELSE AT THE PICNIC!!!!!!!

and thats your choice, but even im imports

a 3 series bmw costs much less than a 7 series bmw

because the 7 series bmw is a premium item

its wayyyyyyy better

no one would give a 7 series, even up to get a 3 series

its just that simple

the premium one is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better

Sure a series 7 is worth more then a series 3, costs more to manufacture, overall costs are higher, it's a better product, so the retail price makes it a premium item. Disks cost the same what's ever on them. Ten disks cost the same as another ten disks, no series 7 or series 3. So the question arises, since trader A has two sets that trader B doesn't have, how is one premium and one is standard. Does someone research it to determine if it was in syndication, how many lists it's on, how old it is etc. We all know that once it's traded or sold once, within two weeks it's on everyone's list who wants it.

So if today someone comes up with series ABC and DCF, how do you determine which is premium and which isn't. I personally thought if few have it, it is at least rare and not common, don't know if premium is the word to use.

Harvey

I think I can answer the premium question for once and for all.

Two expressions come to mind.
1. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder
2. One man's meat is another man's poison

In retailing certain phrases are used to drive up prices. A handbag is worth more if it is listed as imported from Italy rather then Hackensack N.J., even if it is identical in nature. Perfume if given a French name can warrant a higher price, same goes for wines, though the California wine may be just as good.

Looking at the two sayings one can see where premium is just one man's opnion. Of course phrases like rare, hard to find and premium will appear to make the set more exclusive and allow the seller to sell his disks for a higher price, even if it's just the seller's opinion. What can get to a person is when it is implied that my stuff is premium and yours is so so.

Harvey

the premium one is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better

You're not going to get any argument from me on this. And any underlying nuances are being purposely overlooked/ignored.

The premium thing comes up all the time


a lot of people think certian items are worth more.
Mostly if they have to pay for them-

But people with retail dubs, people with columbia house tapes

I disagree with it-
I think rare is something different to everyone.
But, the fact is- anyone can charge what they want for anything.
But until people stop buying it....

As my grandma would say

A man can charge whatever he wants for something- telling people what he THINKS it is worth.
But in fact it is only worth, what people will pay for it.

I'm still working on the idea that harvey is my soulmate.

I don't think he's ever seen a picture of me in shorts
or he wouldn't be so quick to dismiss it :-)

We know harvey loves the booty.

Should I be having the champagne cooling for you harveypoo?

. Disks cost the same what's ever on them. Ten disks cost the same as another ten disks,

Harvey


100% incorrect again

but i guess since you dont build sets, or even try to, you really wouldnt understand why this statement is as wrong as 2 + 3 = 9

some things take a lot of effort, time, work, money, other items to get completed, or even close to it

thats what makes them better than other things

i have aprox 11000 discs on my current list, and about 300 are on the premium list

the very best of the very best---

and what do i ask for them, items that are of similar value in return

no im not giving my best stuff for some crap everyone else has, that would be just plain stuppppid

i see about as many trade lists as anyone in the dvd world, i see whats avaible and whats missing

harvey, how many times have you talked about a certain set , and i say--oh thats from so and so.....

i do my homework, and i have a pretty fair grasp on whats premium and whats common

i also submit that i offer the great stuff up for trade to one and all--- most people who have some top shelf items, WILL NOT TRADE THEM-----

even top notch traders, and well known ones have items on their lists that --are not for trade---

if you want to start a crusade, go knock on their cage and ask why??

all i ask is for a fair vauled item in return

I don't mind you having a different opinion then me, and that's part of life but why must you begin your posts with the same your 100 percent incorrect. The last I saw you weren't annointed by anyone, not made a God, so please just say you differ and that's it, don't decide what's correct or not, just give your opinion. Your opinion doesn't become a fact even though you do your best to portray it that way. The problem with your logic as I see it is you decide what's fair trade value, the other party has no say in the matter. As far as you knowing where I got some of the items I picked up is pure crap. You asked me and two of them will not trade with you as you readily know.

Harvey

Come on guys you are taking away from the picnic

no cant do that

since your 100% incorrect and besides that dont have the experience to have an informed opinion in this mattre

but you felt the need to snipe at me and make remarks about premium this and that

as i stated previously

if you have something to say about me

by all means start a new thread and let it rip

you ran your pie hole about premium list

you ran your pie hole aboit a replacement disc

two instances you have no facts as to whats going on

yet decideed to take shots

time for opinions are far past

its time now to make a case, or show everyone that all you got is snipes and not much else today

lamont may be an easy target with the dumb references, im a little less of a pansy, i dont roll over when someone runs their pie hole


now if you would like to discuss the virtues of a premium value list, then how about you start a thread and state your belief, ill follow with mine, nice and civil

the problem i have is your cheap shots and snipes, homey dont play that

now do you got something to say, or do all you have are some cheap shots and snipes????

God I love this section of the board!! You guys end one big stink and you're no sooner back in another one. I'm going to grab sonm popcorn and sit back and enjoy the show!!:wave:

God I love this section of the board!! You guys end one big stink and you're no sooner back in another one. I'm going to grab sonm popcorn and sit back and enjoy the show!!:wave:


you know, i hear from non traders who think that the trading post is the most arguementative part of the board--- and YES i suppose it is

BUT get real, how much arguing can go on over at THE JEFFERSONS Page???

Lionel was a HUNK--- NO HE WAS GOOFY--- GO TO HELL he was a hunk!!!!

or how much arguing can go on at the BEWITCHED board???

Dick York was the best Darrin! NO WAY, DICK SARGEANT WAS BETTER!!! ILL RIP YOUR HEAD OFF YORK WAS THE BEST!!!!!

most of the boards do not lend themselves to disputes

BUT the trading post is different, you get scammers, you get bad traders, you get nutjobs, you get good traders who have bad traders, you get all sorts of minor issues that pop up sometimes

its not that big of a deal for anyone who is a regular here or a trader--- but sometimes non traders make it into more than it is

i was gone last week,so i guess all the cheap shots for me were saved for this week

We only take cheap shots cause none of us can afford the expensive shots.

Didn't we just go through this "argumentative board. blah blah blah "
stuff not too long ago? Yeah, that would have been 2 days ago.

Can we go back to the picnic? I'm thinking of a huge bus. We call it
the Disc express. We get Taiyo Yuden, Supermediastore and some other
places (not staples thank you) to sponser it. And we'll preach to the masses
about the greatness that is trading discs.

Anyone got a CDL?

Geez, this whole thing turned into a real buzzkill...
