PIFing a PIF: Astra/Crystal/Dorco blades and more **COMPLETED**

After quite the fortuitous find over the weekend, I find I am overstocked with blades. Far more than I could use this year. Etoyoc had PIF'd me some blades a couple weeks back, and I am going to take this opportunity to share my good fortune with another newbie.

I'd used one Derby from the set he sent me, and I'm replacing that one with a German Wilkinson. So the lucky person will receive:

5 Astra Superior Platinum
4 Crystal
1 Derby
4 Dorco ST-301
1 Wilkinson

Now to make it fair... whosoever the winner of the PIF shall be, must answer me these questions three, ere the other side ye see:

1) Who was The Gunner?

2) When Sid slid, who was Sid?

3) Why did Jim Rooker walk from Philly to Pittsburgh?

If you notice the theme here, the questions should be relatively easy. Answers in the thread, please.

 

1. Bob Prince.

2. Sid Bream. I can still remember that play.

3. He said he'd walk home if the team lost the game.

 

As a Pirates fan I'm sure the Bream play tore your guts out. Pretty bad with Bream could outrun Bonds' weak arm. I am a longtime Braves fan from back in the Aaron days.

 

Looks like we've got a winner. Shoot me a PM and I'll have your goodies out by the end of lunch.

 

And that concludes today's episode. Blades are on their way courtesy of the fine folks at the USPS.

 

Thanks again, and sorry it stirred up memories of that fateful NL playoff series for you.

I think it's time I passed the torch, errr superspeed you gave to me on to someone more worthy.

Keep your peepers open folks PIF for one SS (and some other goodies) coming soon to a forum near your.
