Big Mike

I see a lot of good friends on this trip, thats nice to see. Hope everyone has a great time. Peace, Big Mike

Joe, now that wouldn't be so bad! Never under estimate the pure admiration and star power of Big Mike! I am a leader and mentor of many of the younger TPR's and women. The thing we really need to worry about is why Kyle and Ted have congratulated this dude and not myself??? Peace, Big Mike

Yep, that sounds like a lot of fun. I need to go back to Cali and clean up on some credits. Hope you have a great time but i think I have enough cushion to stay in the lead. Alas, don't forget I have a season pass to Six Flags and those El Toro rides are only an hour an a half away from me when you go buddy. Peace, Big Mike

I knew you looked pretty keen when I saw you Joe. You could tell right away that I was throwing that contest so that the lady would not look bad in front of her home audience. My nice side was showing through that day. See you in Orlando Dude! Peace, Big Mike

Will, thanks for taking the time and being a nice person and giving congrats! More people need to take your lead and be polite. Thanks for posting that picture. That was the best time. Of course I counted that as I did make it over one hill. I would have got a full ride, but as your photo stands as proof, fat ass Larry in the back seat did us in. I did get away totally free from any french fry incrimination. Also, don't be afraid to promote yourself because your afraid to annoy everyone, who cares lol. Guess I annoyed Wes for some reason, but Wes I guess does not have a clue that Larry, Cool Rich, and even Uncool Rich are my best buds and this is all tongue and cheek fun. I obviously don't care that Larry has found 20 different words to call me fat The header says Theme Parks, Roller Coasters and FUN! This falls under the fun part Wes, why even waste the time to count how many posts everyone wrote?? lol I am going to hit that 10 page mark no matter which way you add it up I LOVE that some other dude even copied my congrats post for himself, and I even congratulated him already. Larry, where are you getting all these new credits from in 2 months?? Maybe I can tag along so I can stay ahead of you? I will even throw some contests so you win once in a while. Now that Moderator Wes has layed the challenge down, help little underdog Big Mike reach his goal and send your congrats!! Peace, Big Mike

Hey Haux, Congrats for sure dude!! Your post looks really familiar lol. I am very happy for you and best of luck with a lot more rides in the future! Peace, Big Mike PS - Now that is how it is done folks.

Horn Doggy lol. Good one Larry. I'm harmless thecoasterkid, I can't even get a single boob credit. Peace, Big Mike

Yeah, I guess that was pretty obvious. Let me rephrase: Sexy boob credits > Big Mike > Larry and Uncool Rich

Hey Larry! Where ya been dude?? Its been 4 days since your last insults. Thats way too long. I am off all week this week, whatcha wanna do?? I still have my superball. Team Thriller, you are wayyyyy ahead of me when I was 14. I was a little chicken as a kid and would hang out with Mom when Bro rode with Dad. What a loser I was back then. What a complete opposite of me today, now very cool and a winner over Larry at anything we compete at. How does a person join Team Thriller?? Sounds fun. Peace, Big Mike

^^ Aw man GMoney, now I am really getting jealous of all this fun I missed out on. Peace, Big Mike

I agree with you Will, but ya can't make good ole Flip Dude do something he doesn't want to do even if it would be the most popular character out there right now Oh well, maybe flip dude will go to the "congrat Big Mike for his 500th coaster" thread and do a little something special??? Peace, Big Mike

Thanks Anthony, but quad digits has about as much a chance of me hitting as Uncool Rich has a chance of becoming cool. I would be more satisfied to get 10 boob credits than 1000 coasters Hope you had a good time in the Midwest and say hi to your Dad for me. Cool Rich, it is nice to know I have Huge Big Mike fans lol. I really hope I am with you when you hit 500 instead of being alone like I was. It is more special with good friends! I have a secret plan up my sleeve just in case the congrats slow before I hit 10 pages I don't know who feels worse, you as a Notre Dame fan or me as a Michigan fan? Nadia, there was no big celebration at all I am saving the special festive occasion until we meet and there can be hugs all around! The Mainland Europe trip would be ideal and we can raise that count of yours too! I will save a seat next to me on the bus and kick Uncool Rich back to the front where he belongs. Electerik, I think you are a little low on that prediction. I bet 75% of the 500 were coasters I thought were really crappy. I am not usually too pleased riding most coasters. This weekend was a whole host of kiddie coasters and boomerangs, ugh! Wrebbit, thanks for the congrats! I know I cant be 25 times ahead of you. That would mean you only have 20 coasters and you must have rode more than that on the Mini Europe trip with us?? Electerik is not the only master of math around here Thanks for everyone who has congratulated so far and tell a friend to come say hello too! Tell them to write something like "Cool Rich sent me" Peace, Big Mike

You have to get in the long line, in which, Big Mike is first in line! Woo hoo! Peace, Big Mike

The congrats seem to be slowing down, and as Joe said, 6 pages is good, but we all need to get it up to double digits to show the proper congratulations that a 500 coaster count and a very nice guy deserves! Mattty and Homer, Thanks you for displaying your coolness and dropping in to say congrats, it is much appreciated! Bruno my buddy, always nice to hear back from you again, not so nice to always hear from you Larry, but I guess you just want to get it up to double digits, so keep the insults coming. Non German Tom.. Thank you very much and have a fantastic time in Japan, and make sure you tease Uncool Rich since I am not there to do it. I took a trip to Montreal just to stay ahead of you Non German Tom. Keep the congrats coming everybody! Peace, Big Mike

"Larry is not as cool as Big Mike" That was fantastic!!! I laughed my ass off when I read that lol. I think from here on out I will not decide what trip to go on based on where I would like to go, rather I will wait to see which ones Laura and Nadia go on. Sexy boob credits > Larry and Uncool Rich

Very cool. Now I can put a face to the comics, thanks. Join the club, I broke my camera on the UK trip, but mine was not really good to start with. Hopefully will meet you one day on one of the trips. Glad you had fun, now get to work on the Big Mike character People LOVE Big Mike! Peace, Big Mike

Flip Dude, Hope you had fun on the trip. Are there any pics of Flipdude?? Lets see them. Sorry if it was posted somewhere in these 81 pages. We need to see a Big Mike charactor in 2008, thanks! Peace, Big Mike

Missed the dame opening by exactly a week. That sux! Peace, Big Mike

Dear Little Roasty, What took you soooo long to congratulate?? We have chatted for over a year now, by far the person I have messaged most on TPR, and my future roomie one day on a TPR trip, so this congrats really warms my heart. Thanks very much but the Wings still rule over the Flames. Peace, Big Mike

Jarmor - That is a good idea! Maybe I would make the TPR 2008 Calendar then. It would have to be a secret shoot though, or Larry would be spying on me. Noxegon - Thanks for the compliment and congrats to yourself for being over a 1000, but I am coming after ya. Ron, my final roomie to check in lol. Sorry about the snoring. I always tell Elissa to put me with someone who can sleep through it. Or pass out. Guess I will never room with Lou Anyway, you were a great guy and loved the life and excitement you showed in all you did! Hope to meet again for sure. Tommioh - Thanks! I loved always passing you and yelling "Tommy" when we walked by each other. You always had a smile on your face just like me. Hope to see you again soon. Natatomic - Thanks for sending me some nice love and congrats at hitting 100!! I am sorry if I made you feel puny. Feeling bad now, I make it my mission to help you increase your count. When I am in your area, you are my official riding partner! Beemer Boy - I appreciate your thanks and enjoy that you notice that I am a very polite person, always have been, always will. Being very nice, let me give you some advice. Larry said he never met you yet, best to keep it that way! Ed my friend - Was my pleasure to meet you and sit across from you and Piers on the bus. You were very cool. Thanks for reminding me of that phone book dabacle. Rapids Nerd - I love it when I get random thanks from the TPR community. Thanks you very much. Thank goodness people are coming through with thier thanks, or all we would have is a lot of insults from jealous Larry. Peace, Big Mike

See Cool Rich, thats what self promotion does for ya! Now it isn't so bad, is it? lol. Anyway, being a yellow hat club member with you and the BOTBC with you as well, you would think I would have top priority with "everyone has my wifes credits", but nooooooooooooo. hehe Ok Uncool Rich, I guess it is very easy to figure out who invited you back there, the way you keep going on and on about Larry. The Cool Rich and I was always wondering where Larry kept going when he left our group all the time to eat somewhere else, or ride a different ride than us, you guys must have been meeting in secret. Moose, Thanks for the cheers. Always my pleasure to hang out with you and represent the GAP together! Shari, it would be MY pleasure to meet you one day and hang out and ride coasters with you and your daughter. Hopefully soon. Chuck my friend, Thanks very much good buddy. I do have a pic from Media day on Griffon wearing a pilots hat and goggles for the press, once again just have to figure out how to get it from the camera to the website. Larry, good one my friend lol. I enjoyed that. Just for your info, when Cool Rich was counting the weight for the "Ton of Sliding Fun", he estimated you heavier than me. Finally, and most importantly: Elissa, per your invitation for next year and the special perks that come with it, MY DEPOSIT IS ON ITS WAY!!!!!! WOO HOO! Be well everyone and I have MORE friends out there that need to step up and congratulate! Peace, Big Mike

Thanks VerticalZero, glad you took the time to show your appreciation. I have a few reasons to keep count of the coasters I have ridden: 1. One day when I hit 700, I can also have my own thread contest like Jeff Johnson. 2. Girls like guys with large counts.. Example Robb and Derek and Dave T. 3. Most of all, just another thing I can beat Larry at. Cool Rich, If I had to take a wild guess as why Larry is late and who is at fault, I would go with some secret get togethers with the Not Cool at all Rich, as he even just admitted he likes Larry. Thanks Ryan, I tried to ressurect the pounding on the Spain trip but no one would have anything to do with it lol. Don't listen to anyone here, you can always build my ego Also, thanks for the lead role on the pound it video, started the video with the top talent. Larry, I knew you would come around and do the right thing. I accept your backhanded compliment. Your still my best bud. Hard to believe you think I am FatMike though as I barely got to eat anything in Spain as you were always coming up to me and saying "Hey Big Mike, are you going to eat those croquettes or can I have them?" Thanks Robb for the compliment that I am cooler than Somewhat cool Rich and your fantastic offers. I just realized after you wrote that when Uncool Rich suddenly became Somewhat cool Rich. Heres the story: I was enjoying life on the Spain Trip in the BOTBC with two seats all to myself for like the whole first week, everyday stretching out and relaxing. Midway through the trip, Uncool Rich infiltrated the BOTBC and sat next to me everyday from there on out. My coolness must have rubbed off on Uncool Rich, thus elevating him to Somewhat Cool Rich. Finally, I love the offer to touch you Robb, but given the chance to opt out and touch Elissa instead, that is the way I will go Unless I can do both! Remember, two trips so far, one mini trip so far, and Big Mike STILL does not have a single boob credit from ANYONE Peace, Big Mike

Wow! What a nice response! I am glad and lucky to have such good friends as you guys. Thanks Bruno and Hanno for the nice collection of pictures, sure hope to see you again someday, you were awesome. Thanks Cool Rich, it sure was not the same in San Antonio going on the water rides without your enthusiasm to go on them. Thanks Bill, miss going in the oceans and bay with you. Thanks Elissa, This count would not be so high if it was not for you and Robb, love you guys. Thanks Peter and Steve, two great roomies and two wonderful people. Thanks Joe, it was great meeting you and I will send you a private message first when I hit 600 before anyone else finds out. Thanks Jay, but I am only going if that guy that picks his ass isn't going, don't want to touch anything that he may have touched. Thanks Dave, after crushing Larry in everything we did, you put me in my place in that shooting game and I will demand a rematch for your entire lifetime. Also thanks to the two people I don't know who said nice things, thats what makes TPR so great, good friends and nice people congratulate even when Uncool Rich and Larry doesn't. Looking for more congrats from everyone! Peace, Big Mike

Yeah I did. I think that was the coaster that I was odd man out and got stuck riding with Larry. Peace, Big Mike

That picture almost looks like someone was taking the picture of the 3 cool people and at the last second uncool Rich bent over to get in it. Are you even in the coaster seat?? Bill - Of course I have a pic, but with my limited abilities of downloading my pics and putting them on here, it will take awhile. (Kinda like the hot, sexy, bikini pics). Peace, Big Mike PS - I may have to rub that little kid out.
