Stogiez Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Hi RNG. Good to meet you. If by any chance, you happen to be the Dallas area, please let me know, so we can get together and fly for a while, toss down a few beers, and talk kites and other great things. Take care and have fun. Thanks. Stogiez Pssst--yes--I know. What I don't know is my number. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted June 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Welcome Stogiez, your subscriber number is 982... Good luck, the RNG is a cruel mistress. But seriously, come on 0-0-0, it's gotta be my turn - right?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Dowler Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Sorry John - but wouldn't that be considered incestuous?? I mean, you put up prizes and then win the prizes!! Just saying......! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyPuppets LimitVoodoo Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Good luck, the RNG is a cruel mistress. It would appear even RNG's gender is random!! So close now. Good luck to all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baloo Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Now come one, that is a bit rich, asking the RNG to pick you just cuz you are a new member. Good idea though, best of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boomertype Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 A CRUEL MISTRESS. We read of kings and gods that kindly took A pitcher fill'd with water from the brook ; But I have daily tender'd without thanks Rivers of tears that overflow their banks. A slaughter'd bull will appease angry Jove, A horse the Sun, a lamb the god of love, But she disdains the spotless sacrifice Of a pure heart, that at her altar lies. Vesta is not displeased, if her chaste urn Do with repaired fuel ever burn ; But my saint frowns, though to her honour'd name I consecrate a never-dying flame. Th' Assyrian king did none i' th' furnace throw But those that to his image did not bow ; With bended knees I daily worship her, Yet she consumes her own idolater. Of such a goddess no times leave record, That burnt the temple where she was adored. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobB Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 OK, if the RNG chooses my number this time, I'm keeping it ! The Widow Maker is one of the best kites out there, and I will wear out the one I have sooner or later. I am actually thinking of trading my new Solus for a Widow Maker UL. That's how good the Widow Maker is, whoever wins this won't believe how nice it flies, even if dual line isn't your thing... ~Rob. 8) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyPuppets LimitVoodoo Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Full-tilt banter here! Friend requests to mythical deities, the musings of Thomas Carew and other poetry, psychological warfare, etc.... Ahem, watch your tone there... No one does voodoo like I do. Since I'll be traveling tomorrow.... HEY RNG "Now go do, That voodoo, That you do, So well!!" There. I just worked in a Blazing Saddles reference. Winning is a sure thing for me now. There is no shame in the rest of you PM-ing John and bowing out of the drawing. Be a master of your own fate, don't let RNG do it for you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Barresi Posted June 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Thanks for your patience y'all, was a long day of kite festival in Vancouver BC yesterday and I was whipped! So... Who's ready to find out the winner? <grin> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted June 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 The lucky winner... 249? No, they let their number lapse. 497? No, they let their number lapse. 21? No, they let their number lapse. 314? Guess what... They let their number lapse. 418? Yep, you're right - They let their number lapse too. 830? Wow, another one could have won this widow but didn't! Okay - got a good number that's still active, finally!!!! Warm congratulations go out to #925, Fred and Donna Taylor! == Sorry for the drag-out, but I thought you might want to see how many folks *could* have won, but lost out due to a lapsed subscription.

--Pete Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Wow, the RNG got as close as #830, but couldn't make the leap to #833 (choke!) Well, congratulations are in order to Fred & Donna (who did NOT let their subscription lapse). Fly it well and take lots of pictures!

Tmadz Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Congratulations. I hope you enjoy it. I'll just have to settle with winning the other kites. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeepster Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Been out of the country flying on the beaches of Mexico for a week. Just got back and checked to see if you'd already shipped the Widow Maker to me. Almost had a heart attack with your list: ... 497? No, they let their number lapse. Thought for sure it was my number!!! Congrats to Fred and Donna ... hope you enjoy your kite. Cheers, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
