Hello Gentlemen and the few Ladies!!! To start off this is a bit of a read so thanks for sticking through it ;) . I just got back from a wonderful honeymoon with my amazing wife Jennifer from Florida...we have been away and busy for the last 11 days and are finally settling back at home. Can't say how weird it is just being away from the boards for that long let alone all the stuff I have been reading and catching up on since then. Enough about that though as this thread is for giving thanks to my friends in the MT (Morning Thread). These guys are absolutely amazing with generousity but even better with the friendly chit chat and personal "getting to know you" conversations that happen every morning. Its been amazing to get to know all you guys (you know who you are and will be named shortly ;) ) and I can't wait to continue and catch back up to speed now that I'm back :) Without further ado, thanks to: mojodan, bungle77, wideright, muskiesfan, indymann, moxacaine, gvsu96, phillyfan0417, pghbuccos, geroge_calfas, chashawk, rdg00001 and steve-a-reno!!!!

EDIT: Also forgot to mentions mainemule (Scott) for adding to the gifts as well...Thanks a ton Scott!!!

Before the wedding I had recieved a VERY AMAZING package from the MT regulars. Guys...I SOOO apologize for the late thanks thread, every second was tied up leading up to THE day and I know most of you understand ::facepalm:: :lol: Included in the package was this awesome and meaningful card...even the wife was a bit touched which is always cool.

George is being too modest. It wasn't an everyday crock pot. It was lined on the outside with modified superfractors of us MT'ers. We figured the problem was that since its used to cook things at a slow pace, that it might lead to the demise of your relationship. Some of our mugs (mine) would be much better suited for something that is used in a more timely fashion...like a pizza cutter!

Or something less often used, like an apple corer.

Brilliant!

Because when you use that part of it disappears, thus hiding my mug. Stick with Chas Alex, he'll steer ya right. You'd be very wise not to hitch your wagon to my star... :idea:

Congrats Alex.
I voted for a rice cooker.
Nice triple patch ;)



Josh is far too generous Alex. Would you believe he offerred up ALL 3 cards in his sig for your collection?!?!?!


How stand up is that?


Luckily for both of you I was able to mediate, and no hearts were broken over the donations...

...and...

when I turned down the offer he became so irate, that he threw a fist full of sand at the screen. Now his keyboard is all locked up, he has to buy the wife a new mac, but he still has his precious Kell cards.

Alex, glad the cards got their safely and that you enjoy them. Oh, congrats on getting married too. :lol:

I too am in the ugly mug club, that's why Dan's ideas of pictures kept getting shot down. I wanted to get you guys menus from all of your local restaraunts. That way when one of you burns dinner, you have options available for food. That idea caused the words "cheap" and "bastard" to be thrown around and used as adjectives about me. Go figure. :D

Welcome to the married club brother. Many years of happiness to you and Jen.

Might have to get you AC checked again. It might be leaking gas in the house.

I love how the mention of a crock pot has turned this into comedy hour :lol: :lol:



George is another one bud. Ask him anything about math, and I bet he has the answer...

one time we had a conversation that went like this...


Mojo - "George, whats 7 x 8 ?"

George - "56"

Mojo - "See! It probably is!"

Man...you guys crack me up :lol: As much as I would love all the mug shots I guess that would be weird around the kitchen :? Don't be ashamed though...I am the king of weird when it comes to the people I hang out with and relate to :lol:

You will notice that Dan left out the 10 minutes that it took me to explain the theorem and proof behind multiplication ::facepalm::
