Today when I arrived back from my classes, I saw a nice parcel waiting for me, at my door. Looking upon it, I saw it was from Amerika, which could only mean 1 thing. My wooden shoes have arrived!
Movieman, thank you very much for keeping true to your word:toast:
For you all, behold:

And in all seriousness, I think they're really nice to see. Your logo comes out really nice on them :)

i dont think anyone of xs wants to start a new project before we are number1 in rosetta!Quote:

Very glad you like them Bubbles :D
Loving the friendliness here, you guys are great. :)
Movieman, thanks for the work and thought, it's a beautiful and unique gift.
You guys almost made me tear up, i am going to change my Title now** ;)
Bubbles.. we wanna see you wear them... please!!!!!!! Hey absolute, how does one change ones title!
bwhahahahah more pictures of your wearing them!!!
Bubbles Fable
Bubbles the cow, had walked a mil on his four claws
Movieman felt pity, and offered him some shoes
But Bubbles the proud cow, wouldn't accept the offer without he felt he had earned them.
Movieman then asked, if a bet on eating the grass, before a certain date, could tempt him. All they should do were, eat more grass than the Xtreme eaters.
Bubbles accepted, and started to eat, as he had never eaten before.
As things went on, Bubbles noticed, that spite the fact they were more eaters than the Xtreme eaters, they coudn't shake them off, so Bubbles called on some of his fellow cows, plus he had some fun with the female ones, which in the end of course created more cows.
Long story short, Bubbles ate and produced enormes amounts of 3D proteins with his friends, and he won him self some wooden shoes.
LOL... This is too much.
Frisch, thats too funny
and Movieman, i've said it before and i'll say it again, you really are a class act.
DPC: For once i'll agree we really are one big happy DC Family :toast:
WOW nice I am glad you like them:)
Movieman while your sending things out send me that pc-30:)
It's hard to say i like MM to lose a bet but man was it worth it :toast:
DPC Bubbles glad you like em :thumbsup:
Nice! What was the bet on, think I missed it :stick: :D
I guess this is one of the most special things that ever happened because of one of our stampedes and I feel really fortunate to be the one to receive this gift. I can't remember it ever happening before, another team sending DPC a present. :bows:
Right now the wooden shoes are standing on a shelf in my room, open for display. Maybe later this week I'll have some more time and ask one of my roommates for a good digital camera and take a picture of me, wearing them.
God, sometimes the DC community is an awesome thing!
edit:
Repoman: Movieman said that if the DPC were still in second place by the end of April (the end of our stampede), he would buy me a pair of wooden shoes.
Too funny!!
It is nice to see the sportsmanship amongst the teams :toast:
Actually, this is what happenned:Quote:

Hey, you open your big mouth and lose, you got to pay the piper...:D
This one turned out the right way. I had a good time doing this and it was worth every penny..;)
Nice, you need to hurry and get us some pictures :D
:lol: :lol: Good of you to keep your word then!
And I'm looking forward to pics too :D
Hey MovieMan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope you used the voodoo powders I sent you. If you did and, since the bubbly cow actually used the shoes, his pecker should start going limp and fall off in the next two days.:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
It's an awful affliction.... i tore McIntosh out of it a few days ago after some remarks... well... tis better have it than none at all I say!Quote:

Bubbles, thanks for getting back to us. Helps me to see you guys in a more human, brother-in-DC-arms kind of way. Friendship across the seas ( and through the tulips, too )
The shoes came out nice, MM and Dutch Village!
Islanders... temper temper ... :p:
Yup, glad you like them!
congrats with your new shoes:)
I have to say, those are some nice shoes.. They came out quite nice with the varinish on them. However, they sure dont look very comfortable.. I cant say ive ever worn wooden shoes before.
I agree: It's very sportive! Repect for Movieman :clap:
Hope you can get a nice battle with FreeDC (and I guess it will be)
Good luck!
At the moment DPC can't complete, but wel'll do again maybe on an other project ;)
LOL big time
:clap: :thumbsup: for Movieman
Wooden shoes aren't ment to be confortable. :p:Quote:

Hi David;
Thanks for the link. Everyone here really got a kick out of it. It's nice to know people can find a work enviroment that promotes teamwork along with having some fun. Don't hesitate to let us help in the future.
Kind regards,
Rick and the Dutch Village "Team"
They think we do this from work. I havn't the heart to tell them that I'm sitting here at home with $10G's of equipment and there are others that make mine look like a kids hobby!
Can you imagine them if they got a look at DDTUNG's house! :rofl:
Seriously, they were great to deal with. A real class act.
grrrrrr WOOF WOOF!!Quote:

This is one of the greatest days in XS history. Thanks for the image, words cannot describe the joy it brings us.
:toast:
Sexy, absolutely :slobber:
If you took those on for a night at the local dance club, you would make everyones day ;) :D
Thank you so very much Bubbles :toast:
Cool :D
I want to hear an audio clip of you walking down the street with those things :ROTF:
Fat chance. I have terrible feet and walking in wooden shoes causes me really great pains :(Quote:

Is the person taking the picture a naked woman, cos I think the shoes are not the only wooden items...... Or maybe you stuffed socks there... :D
PS Nice to see teh Abit box :rolleyes:
toit, toit like a tiger yesh yesh
Thanks for posting the pic.:clap:
For the rest of the guys here, I registered and posted over at the DPC forum and they were the perfect gentleman and made me feel at home during my stay there.
Jaco on the team here was nice enough to do some translating for me and I'd like to thank him for it! Thanks Jaco!:clap:
Just to give everyone a laugh:
You should have seen this old Mick trying to figure out which boxes to hit to just register! I know some French,Spanish,Latin, German and a few words in Vietnamese but Dutch I am clueless in!:p:
Here's the page at the DPC forum where Bubbles shows the shoes:
http://gathering.tweakers.net/forum/...3968///klompen
My response is on page 2
Thanks again Bubbles! This turned out excellent!:toast:
Cool cool, very cool:clap:

€dit: the shoes make you looking better than anybody else - you'll get any girl with them :D
So if you don't smoke anything, mind sending me some staph from your country to smoke it for you?! ;) (just kidding)
Bloody classic, nice on Movieman, big respect.
Excellent sportsmanship!!
I noticed something out the window behind you, green grass and trees. Let me guess, it rains there too? Gawd, living in a desert really blows unless you like dirt.
lol those shoes are so awesome
I've read your posts there buddy. (And yes I'm Dutch but crunching for XS :))Quote:

we're in the middle of a desert... :)
I always forget whether it's one or 2 "s's":DQuote:

JEEZ Haltech! How many times have I told you not to tell our secrets in public!
Besides, you always get the warm side!:p:
just in case here's a possibility to get rich (or at least to do a "shoes for my conroe" workshop):
how many of you are wanting some? :D :D :D
tools for self-made shoes all here with no problem, only your size is required hrhr
Ya, went surfing in Clare 2 years ago on west coast. Its quite popular now. Although it was only an excuse to get twisted on drink drugs and fanny!:D Legend weekend.!!Quote:

it was up to 110'F in the sun today, it was friggen hot and I'm in Pennsylvania, it's supposed to be fairly cool up here and it's supposed to be even hotter tomorrow. AC has been on most of the day today to keep up with the heat from my three rosetta crunchers
