Thank You Bucko40 for a great evening.....

[Ladyfan]

Just want to thank Randy for being such a great host and for the generous sharing of his sweet suite!  It was a special treat to sit up in the suite and enjoy all the luxury ( which one could easily get used to, trust me on this one).  The gang of us who shared the evening had a lot of fun, banter, good football talk, lots and lots of complimentary food from the Bucs which was a surprise to Bucko but a good one.  It is easy to get cynical on the board what with all the back and forth, and these are certainly tough times for a lot of good people....so its kinda nice to meet a genuinely generous good guy and his equally good buddies who showed up too.  Thank y'all for a fun fun time.  And for putting up with me.....although BucFTW and I did scout out the chocolate chip cookies for one and all!!!!!!!!!  Go Bucs.  And thank you again Randy.

Ladyfan, would you care to state that FTW was a good guy to you? There seems top be some hooplah about him going on.

[Bucko40]

Your more than welcome LadyFan. It was a pleasure meeting you and everyone else also. Great time. Meeting Josh, Ronde and Carl Nicks was cool on the Pirate Ship. It didn't hurt that there were Cheerleaders on board to.

Hopefully I'll get a game this year for all of us to enjoy later this year.

Wow...  Just WOW meBucko...!  Can't begin to thank Bucko for his kindness, thoughtfulness and generosity enough.

What an incredible experience...  First of all, a HUGE thanks to our "Cruise Director" for organizing all of the day/evening for us.  Don't think for a minute this was an "Oh, I'll just post an invite & if anyone shows up, cool..." type of thing.  Bucko had to communicate his original plan with us, then get emails, phone calls, and texts from all of us, then get back to us all numerous times, etc., etc. ........  Point is - Bucko's ON POINT.  Right down to the details of "which play/coach would be at which location"...  Bucko had iot ALL...!

It's not enough to thank Bucko for the generosity he extended.  In doing so, helped organize the day in every sense (from parking pass distribution, to the accoutrements the suite was stoked with), and got us all where we needed to be, when we needed to be there.  What a classy gesture from one of the board's finest...!

From the moment we were at the FRONT doors of the stadium, we were treated like "royalty".  Our hostess actuallly kind of snuck us in a little early I think, but then walked us up to our suite, got us comfortable, and the day was ours at that point...

Personally, I'm typically not the autograph hound type, and I already had a football with many of my fav player's sigs on it (thanks again Bucko!!!), so I took off on a little picture taking excursion.  (I'll throw a few up here when I wake up)

The weather threw all the fans a bit of a curveball with the weather delay, but what better place to enjoy it than sitting in the comfort of a luxury suite...?  Everybody had a chance to have a soda and talk a bit, and almost right on cue - it was on again.  There was a comical moment when the rain began to come, and fans started "moving there way up" (towards shelter), and a few of us thought they were actually going to start climbing through the window...!  Bucko and I looked at each other like "What the hey...?"

The whole group were great people, and I have to admit, BFT+C & I did get on helluva a good chuckle when we finally "met"...  Ladyfan...  Just an incredibly sweet, genuine person and helped make the day that much more fun for all of us...  She's a HOOT!  Quite a few other board members (and a few wise ones who aren't) that I had the honor of meeting as well.  Everyone was just so kind.  Good people Bucko...

The funniest part of MY day was when I had to climb through the window of the suite - just to get back in!

Again............  A HUGE "thank you" to meBucko...!

Curious: did the allegations (scamming, pretending to be black, etc etc etc) against you come up in the conversation?

[Ladyfan]

FTW was a surprise!  I saw this guy looking at me all sheepish like.  He came up and immediately began to apologize for one of his (many) annoying posts.  I pretended to forgive him ( sacrasm ) and honestly we had a lot of fun together.  He was smart, polite, thoughtful and made us all laugh a lot.  I am thinking that FTW is his alternative persona....any how.  None of us had anything but a fun relaxed time and FTW was no exception.  Plus he was my partner in crime for the cookie caper.  And I take my cookies  very seriously.

If you insist on my stamp of approval being serious, I'll get our local person here in Seminole Heights to notarize......lol

Beatles:  You have to go next time....you were missed....we had a secret rite that we all did for you in your absence....hope it works.....but maybe you don't want to leave your house this coming week.  Just an FYI.

C'mon B...  I expect better from you young gun.

You don't like others to pass judgment on you, so I just don't think it's fair to ask anyone else to pass judgement on me either.

Please don't ask Ladyfan to "take sides".  She knows what she knows, and when your time comes B - YOU make the decision as to whether I'm a "good guy", or not...  to YOU.

Make up your own mind on this one B...  Just Sayin'...

(Check your PMs in a bit...)

And, who else would you take with you on a "cookie caper" but a master Jewel Thief...?  Thanks...!  Just adding to my rep I see...   

You're a doll for your kind words Ladyfan...  Honestly, Ladyfan is "my kind of people".  Extremely outgoing, funnier than heck, and just an absolute sweetheart of a person.

And yes...  She DOES take her cookies very seriously...!  Ha!  (Peanut Butter, or Chocolate chip Ms. Ladyfan?)

Did everyone check their pockets for their wallets before leaving for the evening?

Like clockwork.......

The board's "Gutless Wonder" chimes in.  Curious Chron...  Why didn't YOU accept an inite and come and enjoy the festivities...?

Oh yeah, I forgot...  Keyboard worrior.

"Move along folks...  Nothing to see here."

He lives in Kansas City I believe.

Awwww Yeahhhh.....  Commentary from "Mr. Post & Delete", i.e. "Gutless Wonder #2", just means soooo much to us all...   

Don't worry Morg...  Those boys will finally drop, and THEN you can actually meet people (beyond the sanctity of your keyboard) face-to-face.

We understand Morg...  It's a big, cruel, mean world out there.  C'mon out and hang with us, and actually put a "name to a face" Morg.  It's like I've taught my kids...

"Life's tough.  Put on a helmet..."

I wouldn't count on them dropping - they've seemed to hold a grudge against your fabrications from 2-3 yrs ago enough to register with PR can write up 40+ thread pages against what you did (scams, lies, and fabrications). I'm just surprised that Ladyfan didn't ask for a security escort while she was standing next to you.
