Year of The Yeti - Thanks MGS


The Dansome

Recommended Posts

  • SPY VIP

Well it's been a little over a year since my yeti loving behind showed up around here an what a year it's been. This is not only a thank you post to MyGolfSpy and the regular members of the community, but also a PSA to the new guys out there. NEW GUYS! and gals... take note; don't be so quick to disappear after contests etc because lemme tell ya you're not only missing out on some really good people but who knows... maybe even some life changing events.

 

So how did this Odyssey (OEM plug) all start? The MyGolfSpy Tour Staff contest and my very ridiculed top 10 finalist entry... Yes I was hated by some but really only out of a passion and love for a site they hold so dear.

 

 

The Tour Staff Contest

C'mon I had fun with it. The only way I was going to get votes at a site where I was an unknown was to know my market and my voters. My voters were going to be my Facebook followers and I had to use my humor to capture their interest.

Don't forget the winners folks: http://www.mygolfspy.com/tour-staff-contest-wrap-up/

 

 

So my first thanks - Thanks for your forgiveness :P

 

 

 

My Intro Thread

http://forum.mygolfspy.com/topic/6707-hello-from-vancouver-canada/

 

You better all know what a ManBearPig is by now!

The MBP just wanted you all to know he's human and you took me in. Thanks

 

 

The Distinguished Gentlemen's Thread

http://forum.mygolfspy.com/topic/7381-the-distinguished-gentlemens-thread/

 

Originally titled "Hey RP Check this add out!" it was soon changed because I think RP's harem thought he was cheating on them with women more his age.

 

post-872-072689100%201351981448.jpg

 

This thread became the hub for sharing our day to day lives and although it has died out as of late I still hold it dear to heart. Because of it I have made some really good, some would say very close friends via MyGolfSpy and for this I'll always be grateful.

 

Thanks

 

 

You Let me Test Clubs and Keep em!

http://forum.mygolfspy.com/topic/7473-taylormade-rocketbladez-irons-review/

 

Yup and what a honor to test for MyGolfSpy.

Thanks once again for the opportunity MyGofSpy!

 

 

The MGS Vancouver Open

http://forum.mygolfspy.com/topic/7860-mygolfspy-vancouver-bc-trip-june-2013/

http://forum.mygolfspy.com/topic/9087-mgs-vancouver-open-live-action-thread/

http://forum.mygolfspy.com/topic/9140-vancouver-thanks-you/

 

Well not only did The DG thread introduce me to many a personality but opened the door to host the first MGS members event. Huge thanks to those who could make it up here and to all of you who supported us throughout.

 

And the Open introduced us all to another great forum personality and friend who came on as hat sponsor - Zach from BestGrips.

New members take note, good things can happen around here.

 

 

So all this and more in the span of a year. Thanks to all of you who've made this place home and I look forward to many more great years ahead.

:lol: :lol: :lol: thats great Doug Dan! It's been a great year! I followed that initial contest from afar before joining in myself and a big part of the reason why was the community aspect that makes this site different.

 

To another stunning year ahead!

HaHa, Bro, you're killin me, LMFAO :lol:

 

I offered to do the post, and obviously, anything relating to computers, graphics and self maturbation, well, Danno has it all over me. So he says, "No thank you. While I like the way you write, you'll never be able to compliment, glorify & eulogize me as I am able to do myself."

 

HaHa, the Zinger of the Northern Country.....

 

LOL, well Dude, after reading this thread, you're right.

 

Ya told me that you wanted peeps to tell ya what a great job you've done, how glad everyone is that ya stuck around, how much you've brought to the forum & how much they are looking forward to year two B)

 

And I'll be damned Dude, they've done just what you said that they would!!

 

I can't recount the number of times that you've said, "If I post, they will follow. Like sheep in the meadow. I am their shepherd. They are in darkness, though through me, they will see the light."

 

Damn Dude, I thought that you were slightly narcistic. Functional, however narcistic none the less. Yet, you've done everything that you said that you were going to.

 

And hell, half the time I find myself heading towards the meadow, lol.

 

I mean, I'm the one who had a $38, 000+/year asst. go research a frickin Yeti.

 

And when she came back to me with her findings, all I could do was shake my head. One, for being such a dumb ass. And two, because I knew that you were indeed different, lol.

 

And then that damn DG thread. I'll never forget that first Saturday night, when a girl that I was dating saw the screen when I got up to get get something, and she accused me of "dating those women" as she pointed at the screen. And it was off to Mickey D's for dinner, haha. However, that was a blessing cuz though she was 34yo, she acted 24, and that started a three day tiff that gave me the excuse to head for the door, LMAO.

 

So, I definitely made chicken salad out of chicken sh*t on that one. And I owe that to you, lol.

 

And ye, I left a lot of myself in that thread, and it was the best therapy I had through a very, very trying period. Ya did good there Bro :)

 

And Vancouver......

 

I had visualized stepping off of a plane and seein Rick & Zach so often, that when it didn't happen, unlike my golf shots, where I say f*ck it, I just gotta nail this one, well, there was no "this one." That was it

 

And I crashed and burned. But You, Rick and I know I'm not supposed to mention her, but f*ck it, here divorce'll be final soon, and Di, picked me up.

 

And you know how to deal with me. No one, and I do mean no one, does it better. Thanx Bro

 

I didn't wanna follow Vancouver. It was sorta like sittin on the sidelines with a cast on my leg. No matter how hard they tried to make me feel like it, I wasn't part of the team.

 

But I couldn't stay away, haha. Between you and Rick, on Tuesday I LMFAO through the tears.

 

So, as one of my favorite philosophers said, "My, what a long, strange trip it has been."

 

And funner than hell!

 

And yep, I'm lookin forward to what the future holds.

 

And I'm looking forward to coming to Vancouver

 

Oh, and for those not that familiar with me, my sense of humor or Dan, though you can probably picture him saying what what I've attributed to him in quotes above, he said none of it, at least not to me or to the best of my knowledge. LMAO, I took my meds 25 minutes ago, and yep, I'm blamin them, LMAO

 

Deal with it

 

My Very Best,

Richard

 

 

Dear god until the end I thought I'd never be able to show my face around here again....

Yea, I bet Dan was sweating bullets until the last paragraph. Haha! I knew you were full of it, but it was funny. :lol:

 

Where did we get you RP? The thing is...I don't think anyone kept the receipt. Don't get no refund. Nah, we wouldn't want to return you anyway. This place wouldn't be the same without you!

Tell you something about the Vancouver Open - Dan and Nidine were talking about a range of dates but when I mentioned I'd be in the area on business that week, he was all over scheduling and doing all of the legwork of organizing, scheduling and then pulling off one boffo week! Couldn't have asked for a more gracious host and hostess. Well, you could've asked, but more graciousness would have cost money and more than likely been illegal in Canada.

 

And what classy golf outing doesn't come with a swag bag???? Loved the chips and candy, the golf and most importantly, the company.

 

Hope to see youse guys again in November. Dinner's on me!

I think this needs to turn into an official roast Dan thread :D

 

Let us not forget the debates that raged last year. And really, what has the Yeti done for any of us? Have any of the campaign promises been kept?

 

I did get an awesome yeti hat and thank you picture from him so the yeti has been good to me lol

LoL, Richard's kidding aside, I always look forward to your posts and threads. They are informative, entertaining and sometimes, enlightening, haha.

 

And Nidine is Lovely.

 

You are indeed the First Couple of MGS

 

And I know how much MGS has been a part of Richard's life over this past year, and you are a huge part of that!

 

Regarding the origins of the Distinguished Gentleman's thread, well, he's better off without that girl, lol

 

My best wishes for the upcoming year and all of those to follow.

 

May you receive as much joy, happiness and smiles as you bring to others!
