    Patty why ruin a great thread, and you being the high bidder for a great tool and a great cause, by going negative on this weekend's big game?

    Ok folks,

    this thread is for bidding and talking about the tongs,

    the thread policeman is issuing a "off topic" ticket to offenders, for "wreckless posting".

    Patty, your fine is 1% of the winning bid, payable no matter if you win or not,

    Bill and Gary ,each of you owe 2% of the winning bid,unless you put in a legitimate bid at which time your fine will be lowered to 1%. each of subject comment will occur a separate and additional fine.

    Dana, i just noticed your like comment, if it was for Pattys bid........no fine......if for her off topic comment....feel free to send in 2%

    all fines are to be voluntarily paid by check to the WCB breast cancer fund, the same charity that the winning bid on these tongs is going to. Please send your check to me and I will forward to the WCB.

    Keep bidding and or keep going off the subject, either way breast cancer research benefits!

    Thanks in advance.

    Yep, I got 'em! Used them today hot fitting a size 5 Irish Drought. My hands would ache badly by the time I got to the quench bucket with my other tongs. I absolutely LOVE these. Thanks, John!!
