I met MadMarty (and Idahogal!) at the ANACS table during the Charlotte show last March.
Naturally, the Chicken was along. Did you know the MadMarty Chicken wears his own holey coin bling? Not only did he have a holey coin around his neck, but it was an enameled holey coin, which is oh so bling-ier than anything I have on my vest.
Speaking of which, a photo op naturally ensued:
(Hey, Marty deleted the picture. Bummer. I should have saved it.)
When MadMarty gave me one of his signature "weenie coins" in a custom slab, what was I to do but accept it?
The real question was, what was I to do afterwards- keep it, and cherish it always? I couldn't sell it- smoebody tried that once, and the Wrath of the Mad One, not to mention the scorn, are not something you wanna bring down on yourself!
So naturally I kept my souvenir.
Until a perverse idea struck me a while back. It happens to us holey folk periodically.
I decided to hole the MadMarty slab, but not the coin within it. Neatly drilling it at the two top corners, I then fastened the lanyard upon which I had worn my old G-8 Summit Secret Service ID badge onto it.
Now I had a MadMarty Weenie Slab that was wearable bling!
But I already have PLENTY of wearable bling, as you can see. So, what to do, what to do?
I decided to send the Weenie Slab Necklace out into the world, and let it travel from forum member to forum member, to see what sort of interesting places it ended up in. I did not entrust it to any old forum member, though- I had to meet somebody at a show and pass it on in person. They have to post it on the forums when they are entrusted with it, and then pass it on. (Not necessarily at a show, though that's great if we get some pix of folks wearing it on the bourse floor of shows where Marty and the Chicken couldn't be there in person). Let it pass from forum member to forum member, but remember- only the Worthy, the Few, the Proud, the Anointed, may touch Marty's Weenie.
Help the spirit of MadMarty travel the country, and maybe the world.
Who knows who'll end up holding Marty's weenie?
We shall see. I have passed it on, now, so let's wait and see where it turns up!
March, 2007: MadMarty gives lordmarcovan one of his weenies. (Yes, he apparently has multiple weenies. Yes, it sounds scary.)
January 26, 2008: lordmarcovan makes it into a necklace and passes it to another forum member after the Macon, GA show, in a Chili's parking lot.
January 26, 2008 (a few moments later): said forum member hands Marty's weenie to yet ANOTHER forum member. A photo op ensues.
Where's Weenie now? And what of the pictures of the Weenie Necklace Passing Ceremony?
Only time will tell.
We shall see, we shall see.

<< <i>Kan ya help an old stump jumper out? What is a "bling-ier", dat der anytrhing like a bra-zer?
bling·i·er adj. (blĭng'EE'er).
1. More blingy, having excessive blinginess.
2. Resembling a Liberace costume accessory.
3. A dazzling bauble designed to confuse and baffle stump jumpers, or pigs with dentures.

May it forevermore become a treasured forum artifact.
Whatever you do DON'T give it to MrPaseo, I saw what he did with the last Weenie Coin!!!
<----------Had to keep the "avatar pose" going. And so, Marty's Weenie is packed up as I type, awaiting an address. Who could get it next?
Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.
I strongly suggest that whoever receives this "Powerful" Icon should wear rubber gloves when handling it!!!

It has arrived...
I now need to round up some other local forum members (and one with a camera) to have some fun. It might not be until the Old Bridge, NJ show in 2 weeks...but I am gonna see if we can get together this weekend at Parsippany...
Do not fear...the weenie (coin) is safe...now I gotta find me a Trojan to keep everything else safe...
The name is LEE!

...but not fast enough...there were a number of forum members that heard that Marty's Wandering Weenie was in the house...and they made themselves REAL scarce...
...guess they didn't want to be seen with the 'nefarious' coin...
...as you can see...even I was trying to keep it under my hat...but the darn thing wouldn't stay put...
(edited to add...didn't realize that my face wasn't gonna show in the pic...guess I'm safe though...the lawyers can't ID me as a witness for the paternity suit...

<< <i>Ummmmmmmmmmmm, Hey Larry, SeaEagleCoins, that coin pendant you're wearing and the one on the 'bosom' right below you. They seem awfully 'similar'. Is there anything you'd like to share with the group??
Well, Rob...if you hadn't "rubber" chickened out and stuck around...maybe you'd already know the rest of the story...

So very true Larry, but I make it a point not to handle others' 'weenies'
Sorry man!

HMMM.. Wild guess, they are probably reading the thread and laughing their A$$ off. I am.
It's already turned up in more places than I could imagine!
BTW, to identify the LordM pedigreed weenie slab (as if the drilled holes and Sea Island G-8 Summit necklace attachment weren't enough), I signed the back of the slab.
Where's Weeniecoin gonna show up next?
I am beginning to get a feeling Marty's weeniecoin might eventually out-travel Marty and the chicken themselves!
Thanks fer sharin', y'all.
Where's he at now????
Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.
now...if he gets together with ahooka...
then god only knows where it will end up and what might happen to it...
I've now subscribed to this thread so I'll get an email when it resurfaces.

<< <i>The weenie is in Maine & will make a cameo appearance @ the coin show in Portland Maine Sunday, March 16th >>
Soooooo...the weenie went to Maine...
Based on it's shennanigans here in NJ...I'd say it better look out...there might be some lawyers looking for it/him...
<< <i>The weenie is in Maine & will make a cameo appearance @ the coin show in Portland Maine Sunday, March 16th >>
Looking forward to pics.
<< <i> hope a " Lobstah " does'nt clip that thing >>
Especially not if it's the lobstah that DCarr featured on his parody Maine quarter design! That one could crush a car, let alone a little weenie!
