Man...I'm gonna miss those guys.... Nice guy, Gary......You get us all loving these brothers....We laughed with them ...Cried with them...Shared their good times, bad times....Now they found a good home, they drop us like a hot potato.....Just kiddin' my friend.....It was Great !! It was Epic....only problem now is........I need another story.....More Razor Fables.... Come on man...whats up next ?....I bet one of your repeaters could spin a yarn...or maybe Number 1 opens up and spills the blades on how he got to be Number 1.... See man...once you get famous....no more private life....'Just when you think you're out...they pull you back in"...ha,ha,ha This was a great series and everything was very well done....But I am going to miss looking forward to that next installment....
Nice work Mr.G.! I love all the episodes and you're right. All vintages have some story behind them, their history is ours, their stories are ours.
Thanks to all of you who have read and enjoyed this. Compared to a normal article which may take anywhere from an hour to a couple of hours of work to produce, for each article the average effort was around 8 hours from the development of razor photos, to developing the plots, and potential subplots that would disappear to keep "doors" open, to finding the pictures to support the story line, to superimposing images to make each slide and placing the narrative in available spaces. There were 5 slides per article and 16 total articles. This effort in total took over 130 hours to develop and produce this entire story over a production period of 30 weeks including planning efforts at the beginning. As you have seen, this was a large effort to complete and present. I developed this story both to entertain, and to allow other article members time to write articles without the rush of a deadline looming because this could provide some time spacing. Since I have devoted a large amount of time to this effort and other projects are ramping up fast, I will not be working on another article for at least until sometime mid to late fall at the earliest. I am sure that my fellow article writers will be ready with some interesting articles and perspectives for the forum members in the coming months and I look forward to reading them myself. Again, it has been a pleasure to provide you this series of articles and I thank each and every one of you for taking the time to read them.
I've had fun reading and replying to the articles Gary and do appreciate all the work you've done..:2thumbs:
Yeah Man !! I feel as Slipperyjoe and so many others here when I thank you for this 'Labor of Love'....You have enriched all of our 'hangs' here...And brought smiles to our faces and given us something to look forward to as we made the journey with the Two Brothers... I and We are egerly looking forward to see whatever else you "Have Up Your Sleeve"....You...
Someone else may just have to start a new series to scratch that itch. Surely we have another writer around here. Good fortune from the razors to you!
Sending the 'Brothers" my love back....tell them their sister (my Senator) here in Istanbul sends her love, and says she's second to no razor around here....ha,ha,ha...
GDC, I was the lazy one, I unintentionally waited til the series was finished. I just finished reading the entire story from Finish, then to Start to Finish(I actually had no Idea what I was reading at first). I had no idea what I was getting into, I can sincerely say though, You are a Blessed and Talented Fellow. That was some really great writing. Even brought this ol Shaver to tears!(Doh! Just lost my Man Card over the Lives of Two Razors). All Gods Blessings to you my brother! Well Done!
This bump is to allow some of the newer members who have not had an opportunity to read the full series. Remember Veterans on this day.
