OK, I will stand down and wait until it gets to me just prior I will start the new round. I believe I have three already to start my round. Thank you @nlerner for getting us back on track!

yeah, but that just doesn't seem right. I'll have to get them the honest way..... so I'll be eligible in 20 years.

I have to admit, I was looking forward to snagging a couple BOC decals. Doesn't seem that's going to be an option? If not, I would like to pull my name from the current list. I'll jump in later when the Box gets settled again under the new regime.

You did check the order of battle, didn't you? If'n the Barking Chihuahua has enough vinyl stashed somewhere, and can git r done on somewhat short notice, you might get a couple hot off the printing press.

I have a couple that aren't being used as well.

Good news everyone, the lady with the BoC has posted on facebook that it's moving.

And the original BoC decal....

*Disclaimer:BoC decal may not stand up to hundreds of dishwashings.

It's a Christmas Miracle of craptastic proportions!
@wschruba, it'll be a late gift, I'm guessing you already gave her your address?

Okay, I’ll wait a few days then to see if I need to send a new BOC to @wschruba. It’ll be locked and loaded just in case.

Ummm...I dunno about the early celebrations; I didn't see anything in the post that said anything about it moving. IMHO, the jury is still out.

Call me a healthy skeptic

Merry Christmas everyone!

We could, but she it banned from the forums all together. Unless she manages to get unbanned, I don't think it matters.
