sfne2005 Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 So among the many souvenirs I was able to purchase on the UK trip and add-on, there was one that I missed out on. The infamous Balder Hammer! Now, to many people, it doesn't seem like a big deal. But to me it has great sentimental value. It was a great day for any enthusiast and the best day I had a park. Missing out on getting a hammer quite frankly, just pissed me off! So I began a quest. I'll let the photos do the rest. The collection is complete and the bad guy was caught. Thanks for a great day Robb and Elissa. Robb, I couldn't find any sheep today, but instead I got you something even you are familiar with; A big fat cow. MMMMMMMMMMmmmmmm, that's good. So after roughing James up a bit, I was hungry. So where else would I go? Here is the money shot. I am sure a lot of people will like this for many different reasons. James, that's what you get for stealing 10 hammers!!! Ahhh, I feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Hey, I don't even need my baton now. I can use my hammer instead. With my boss as my witness (thanks Sarge), the exchange is complete. Here's the bastard (CanobieFan) who stole all those hammers! Damn you James. Ok, gotta play it cool. Here is the Speed Monster shirt which was to be used as collateral for my beloved hammer! Ah, the place for the "exchange"....my place of work. More downtown with heavy traffic. Yup, its a cow-town. Population 10,000 peeps. This is Groton. Downtown Groton to be exact. (Not a metropolis by any standard). So I started my day like any other with my commute to work. Californians, take note to the green things along the highway. They're called trees.
robbalvey Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 OMG!!!! So many awesome things in this TR: - The exchange - The donuts - Rich is his sexy little fuzzball costume - JAMES IN HANDCUFFS!!! LMAO!!!! Dude, that was freaking hilarious!!! --Robb

Meteornotes Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 Those handcuffs would have been very useful on the UK trip... dt
ECZenith Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 Interesting TR, cool collection of Balder stuff, but no pin???? Balder beer but no pin? Shame! Still can't believe I haven't met most of my fellow New England TPRers. Sometime this season people!
dandaman Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 I gotta be honest, I've never eaten at the fine dining establishment that is Dunkin' Donuts. Canadians have Tim Horton's, though, which is 100x better any day. Though I must admit that donut looks good... Huh? Oh yeah! Balder hammer thingy! That was pretty funny too (especially the away message).
Louise Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 MMMM, Dunkin' Donuts!! Another HILARIOUS TR Rich, glad you finally got the hammer you craved so much!
SharkTums Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 I'm almost glad I met you now! You're kind of funny! Great TR!
robbalvey Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 LOL! James I love the screen shots! I don't know why but this has been one of my favorite Photo TRs in a while! --Robb
TheStig Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 Rich, NICE shorts!!! That was an awsome TR! How many of those hammers do you really have anyway??? Colin C
TheKlockster Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 That is just hilarious! How do you like the shirt James?
Coastercameron Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 Has Holiday World contacted you yet Rich? I heard they were in the market for a private, secret police department to arrest coaster enthusiasts.
sfne2005 Posted July 29, 2006 Author Posted July 29, 2006 Has Holiday World contacted you yet Rich? I heard they were in the market for a private, secret police department to arrest coaster enthusiasts. No, but if the pay is good, I'm in!!!
Nrthwnd Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 How many hammers, James??? Great TRs guys - I'm glad it ended 'somewhat' amicably (sp?) for you both. And Can-Obie... did you get a haircut recently? I don't see no blue hair there, peekin' outta the cap. Just an observe...
rollermonkey Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 James! Did you use a Balder claw hammer to steal the Whalom sign?!?!? Great TR, Rich!
Canobie Fan Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 How many hammers, James??? And Can-Obie... did you get a haircut recently? I don't see no blue hair there, peekin' outta the cap. Just an observe... lolz I have like 40-50 Balder hammers.... And yeah I got my hair cut for back-to-school.. Cant have colors in the school year
derwood Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 Bows down to Rich........ Awesome TR.....Why didn't you bring those cuffs on the trip????? d
sfne2005 Posted July 30, 2006 Author Posted July 30, 2006 Daron, I wold have loved to have had them with me, among some of my other tools. Would've had some gratification on the damn 3rd lift, stillz and beauty! Lou, you would have loved me as your roommate, ESPECIALLY had I brought the handcuffs!
Louise Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 Lou, you would have loved me as your roommate, ESPECIALLY had I brought the handcuffs! Suddenly being Daron's roommate doesn't seem like such a scary idea, in comparison at least... Rich, you scare me!
DerekRx Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 Rich, I WAS your roommate and really could have used those handcuffs for when you were out of the room. Next time help a homey out! Glad you got your hammer, but mine is still cooler
