Toad

My certificate arrived today!

I'm #1 !!

Toad

Yay!

Toad

Here's a crappy image of my 1978 Burger King Tigers set taken with my crappy digital camera that just may have been manufactured in 1978...

Toad

See, I wasn't always ugly...





Notice the date in the corner. Go '78 Tigers!

1978 Burger King Tigers

brianwintersfan

Any reason you couldn't show us that in one post??

Toad

It's more dramatic this way.





Maybe one day you'll be #1 at something good like the '78 BK Tigers instead of that wacky cracker, Brian Winters.

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaa hahahahaahahhahahahahahahaahhaa

I hope you have a good sense of humor, cause that picture is going to catch you a lot of ragging.

Is that one finger supposed to show us what your IQ level is??
Go take your meds and put that finger where the sun don't shine!!

ledsters

You may not be making that face much longer if you keep that light in your display cabinet on and it fades the heck at of the first few cards....

Great set though and congrats.

Ledsters

Toad

You know, the picture wasn't exactly meant to be serious.

Toad

1) At least my IQ is one higher than yours! Ouch!!

2) I would, but your finger is already there! Zing!!

brianwintersfan

Don't quit your day job to take up comedy. I'm sure working at the local fast food joint is still your best option!

Toad

Thanks, Ledsters.

Worry, not... I rarely if ever put the light on. I'll flip it on for a minute or two if I'm able to convince someone to visit my lair. Also, the entire cabinet is covered with a stylish black sheet 99% of the time. I only uncover the cards when I need to inspire a Tigers rally. With the Tigers struggling again against the Tribe, I may be uncovering it very soon.

What's wrong with fast food??

Go Burger King!!!

I'd probably have a goofy look on my face if I got one of those certificates, too. Congratulations, Toad! Thanks for sharing.

There for a minute I thought Jamie Kennedy was among us.

Congrats.

Congrats on the set but I would think about getting that finger removed. It sounds painful.

"goofy honky" did make me laugh...

Love the display case, especially Tony The Tiger using Briggs Stadium as a jacuzzi.

Yea give the guy a break, its obvious he was clowning around with the photo. LIGHTEN UP!!! Good humor!

It appears Pandrews has a new member in his posse.

Toad

I emailed the link to this thread to my mom yesterday because I knew she'd get a kick out of it. It turns out mom clicked on it again this morning. Here's the email I just got...

"Why did that pandrews boy alter your photo and superimpose your face onto a picture of three guys? Who are they and what is he trying to say?"

Look what you crazy characters have gone and done. Sure, it's all fun and games to you, isn't it? Now you are upsetting my poor mom! It's bad enough she has an unfortunate-looking son who obsesses for hours on end over pieces of cardboard. Now she has to witness the cruel teasing of her precious boy firsthand.

Shameful!

I simply asked him why he felt the need to take 5 posts to do what he did. He is the one who took the first shot calling Brian Winters a "goofy honky". Why is that acceptable?? Would it be cool if I used a racial slur against one of the Tigers black players?? If I would have done that this place would have imploded. He could have left it with "I did it for dramatic purposes" and that would have been the end of it.
I appreciate the fact that he worked hard on his set and he loves the Tigers just as I love the stuff I collect but I asked a simple question and all I got was a not so funny comment in my book.

Stingray

He was not calling you personally a goofy honky only Brian Winters the basketball player, there is a difference.

Congratulations on # 1. If you want to help your mom understand PA send her a PA/Axtel thread from Sports Talk

As a goofy honky myself, I feel I have the right to use the term as I see fit.

brianwintersfan

<< <i>He was not calling you personally a goofy honky only Brian Winters the basketball player, there is a difference. >>



There is?? If something is a stupid statement it doesn't matter who it's directed at.
All I see is someone looking for attention and looking to drive up their post count. Nothing wrong with celebrating your accomplishment but 5 posts to do it is a bit much.
Last post for me on this subject!

Toad

brianwintersfan has made a valid point. I have edited my Brian Winters "goofy honky" post on page 1.

brianwintersfan

Thanks for proving my point that you are clueless!

Get Well Soon!

PS-This is my last post on the subject! Since the rest of you seem to think this guy is a genius you can have him all to yourself.

Congrats TOAD. I think the whole deal is very funny. The picture simply adds to the hilarity. It reminds me of Will Ferrell for some reason.

<< <i>Congrats TOAD. I think the whole deal is very funny. The picture simply adds to the hilarity. It reminds me of Will Ferrell for some reason. >>



Remember the Will Ferrell sketch on SNL where he was wearing that ridiculous 'I'm #1' hat? It was one of their "commercials" and the product was that cheesy hat which was designed especially for those fortunate people who are "#1". The smug look on his face while he slow danced with his date while wearing that hat was the greatest.

DaBigHurt

memo to self:

Don't make fun of Brianwintersfan and his mancrush on Brian Winters.

pandrews

holy crap, brianwintersfan came unhinged..

PS: brian winters is a hella goofy honky.

bishop

I like the pictures. They kind of tell a story. Toad was a cute kid and then he grew up to be # 1.

GeoffEighinger

Wow, this sure turned into a monster.

I think it's cool to be proud.

Wabittwax

Aaawww, so your Clawson Whoppers. You are the guy who's gonna ruin my dream of being #1 on all the BK sets. All of them are within reach except for yours. Given that PSA only gives 9's and lower on these cards and your set is almost already all 9's, I doubt I'll ever catch you. If you have any for sale, please keep me in mind. Honestly though, I'm probably not willing to pay the prices you already had to pay to be #1, but I'll keep plugging away at it. I tend to lose interest in stuff after a couple years so that will probably happen before I ever catch up.

Stingray

Toad check your PMs!!

Toad

OK, I responded, Stingray. Hey, did you happen to hear Joe Walsh on Howard Stern last week? Of course, you'd have to be a Sirius radio subscriber to have heard it. Anyhow, if you are interested, I recorded the two songs he performed... I can make 'em into mp3's. He played Funk #49 and Walk Away.

FavreFan1971

What a great start for a Monday. I needed the laugh. I grew up watching Winters play. I liked Moncrief better but I lived in Green Bay and could only catch them on TV back then.

Thanks for the laugh again.

We took a vote and the overwhelming results are that we want Toad to stay and you to go.

Your an uptight, hairless chimp.
