Yet another THANK YOU to Demetrios

edited November 2008 in The Porch
I had mentioned in several posts that I was interested in getting the Eddie Vedder Batman poster, and even had several people step up and offer to pick it up at the shows they were going to, since I couldn't get it at mine (wife was feeling ill, so we had to leave before I could get back in line after the show).

Anyway, in typical D fashion, he made that dream a reality, freebie-style. The poster arrived today, and I could not be more thankful for his constant and ongoing generosity.

Thank you D! You are one of a kind


And, MODERATORS, thank you for rethinking his lifetime ban. He is an asset to this forum, and his and Roger's absences left a gaping hole. Thanks for overturning the bans! Kat, thanks for the meaningful and respectful dialogue at that time, as well!

For those who scoff at "Jamily" in my name... 9 years ago, when my first daughter was born there were jokes about whether my priority would be my family or PJ. I smiled and quipped "I am a JamilyMan." What was a family joke became a hated term among jammers. Didn't see that one coming!

    D, since you have never shared with me what that is, despite my efforts to learn, I will have no choice but to assume that you are desperately seeking that underground, forbidden tape of Alice, Sam the Butcher and Tiger doing very disturbing things on the artificial turf in the Brady's backyard?!?

    I have yet to track that down... but when I do, a copy is certainly heading your way, my friend.

    An official CD/DVD of the night that brought me too tears? Let's hope 10club releases some or all of the Ed '08 experience for all of us to enjoy in the comfort of our homes.

    Even though I didn't win anything, it was fun just being part of it. I was actually trying to win the poster for my son, since he took me to the Mansfield II concert, and I had the best time ever!!!!!!!!!!!

    Demetrios your are an awesome person for someone I've never met. Keep having those contests they're fun :);)


    D stepped it up even bigger than that. I didn't win the poster in a contest... he just read that I was searching for one to buy, and he hooked a brother up.

    Rumor has it that one board member once mentioned that he needed a kidney, and the next day a cooler showed up from Nova Scotia on the guy's doorstep. D still has the scars to prove it!
