Treat I may have some new ones around.
Let me know if you are interested. :0

I would like to bid on those treat. 1 dollar. (I mean it has to start somewhere, right?)

Find the disc and they are yours.

Heck, I'll even throw in a free putting lesson while I'm at it. :)

So does the water in the first pond ever clear up? i threw a big hizer on the first hole and it missed the edge by a few feet (fishers were watching us, with a newborn which is why i threw it too **** wide! i hate kids on golf courses! :P an they spotted where it went in) and even after jumping in my disc was no where to be found, bright neon green/yellow star boss with a purple stamp. Figured it would be easy to spot but when i got over there the water was a black hole!

So the first pond, as in hole 8 right?

No, I don't think that is ever what you would call "clear" but it does get better and worse, usually depending on how recently it has rained.

I guess my advice would be to go in after it again.

They can drift quite a bit from where they hit initially.

Lost

5 baskets from Griffin Park in Norman. Everyone keep their eyes and ears open. Reward if found. Please call discgolfers before you call the police. These morons need to be properly delt with. Thanks

That sucks!

What kind of baskets?

BTW, your signature doesn't go well with this annoucement of lost/stolen baskets... :eek:

my okie dubs partner Triska left his Black eco groove, 175 grams at woodson (hole 1?) on FRIDAY night before the tournament. If you picked it up early saturday morning or late friday night and still have it, please let me know! [email protected] or PM me

Let me know if he needs a new one Paul.

Ive got baskets for sale!!!!!! only 50 bucks a pop the baskets are all used.
just joking fools. if you did take em you better just melt em down and sell em for scrap or someones going to take it out on your *****. good luck norman boys

Stine, is your quote really true ?

Did Valerie really say that about Oklahoman's
Not cool top generalize a whole state based on the actions or comments of a few.

She must not know how we come after people who Dog on the Sooner state. Ask Mike Lupica or the referee from the OU v. Oregon game.

she did say it jokingly but i was there so was jeremy taylor and a few others were at waterworks when she told us her opinion of Okies. i forgive her for it but want someone to prove her wrong.

Maybe she was talking about jim traber ripping seattle! lol

Sadly, I've heard other touring pros say similar things as well. :(

Soooo........ Go Dez Reading for me from now on. I already thought Avery was kinda punkish from my brief encounter with him. I guess now I have a reason to dislike them both.

Ha pray he doesnt hunt you down and put a teerexx through your skull. i would be afraid of val also shes bigger than me. I wish oklahoma could pass oregan in player abillities. we are severly lacking on the female front though. no offense ladies val beats me also.

Anyone whos seen oregon courses knows why they are so **** good, the courses in the NW are TIIIIIIIGHT, some insanely hard golf courses up there :D not to mention some of the best old school golf teachers ever! if your ever around seattle go play Sea-Tac, it makes blackhawk look like chandler :P

So the first pond, as in hole 8 right?

... throw the DRAGON , mon ... they 'drift' on top ... ( or R-Pro BOSS 150 grams or less ) ...

I believe it is true that if you learn on a tight course keeping the line is much easier.
I have talked to Larry Leonard and most of the courses in the SouthEast are wooded.
And many top players come out of areas of the country that are more wooded.
I believe KMac will also attest to this.
So on that note most OK players are at a disadvantage
Most of our courses are more open.
The exception is if you are playing in the wind
and the other person just can't handle the wind.
The other thing is most casuals usually stay far away from the wooded courses.
So here lies the problem.
Do you want more players overall or do you want your core players to be better?
Been discussed many times over just thought I would bring it up again.
D.P.

Why can't we have both? The biggest problem is the terrain around the metro areas that have couses. They're all flat. We can get some holes in woods, like blackhawk but overall we don't have too many choices and opportunities to have courses with woods and elevation. Even the lodge isn't tight when comparing to the courses back east or in the northwest. I do agree that learning on tight courses can make a better player but Dale is right about the wind. Those tight course players seem to struggle on some of our courses if the wind is up.

I think Tulsa offers a great variety of courses. From short beginner to the pro courses. Black hawk can still wreck some great players. Just think about how far you would have to drive to find the variety we have. It would have to be at least 4 hours in any direction. Just compare what we have to OKC. While they have a few good ones, they don't have the choices we do. You would have to go to the Dallas area or KC to beat what we have.

As long as places like Cali, the northwest, the east and the michigan area have the courses they have, they will always produce more top golfers than we will. we just need to play them in the wind.

I came back from Worlds with a mission to develop courses with woods and elevation.

Playing KC showed me a couple of good things about my game but it also showed some big holes.

Rosedale Down Under was brutal for me. Cliff Drive has 9 holes that are very similar.

Honestly our best bet is get Copperhead polished up. The elevation isn't as severe as Rosedale but it is the best I know of around here.

If anyone has anyother areas in mind let us know. To truely be the ultimate disc golf mecca we need an east coast type of course.

As to Dale's question, the fact is we need a steep woody course to make our core players better. Not every course needs to be suited to casuals alone.

Just my opinion...

Agreed.
With the courses Tulsa has we should be able to cover it ALL.
D.P. :)

lost at hunter park on the temp hole a champ firebird that is mostly clear witha pink hew darker to one side than the other. reward for the safe return.

I threw a brand new white star boss in the pond at hunter from hole #14. Yes that's right hole #14, it turned over on me. If you find it, it is yours... good riddens to it.

If found I will give a reward or buy you a disc of your choice.
Cris Hicks 407-7904.

Lost a blue Pro-Boss, max weight near the basket of Hole 18 @ Hunter Park, Saturday of the OO. It says Shark on the back. It's Scott Thompson's.

So the day before the OO I am putting at the house. When I finish I always take the basket to the backyard and go back to the front and throw a few blind putter shots. So I spike hyzer all 6 of my bangers over the house. My newest and most favorite never showed up.

So here I am looking in trees, neighbors backyards (more than one occasion) and I even climbed the two story house from the rock fireplace outside. Nope not their either. So today i give it another shot look in my backyard and then the neightbors again. climb a tree to get a better view. Nothing.......I am about to give up when I noticed the trampoline has been moved since i last looked under it.
And sitting their like a long lost treasure in 2 ft of grass is my baby ! Got my banger gt back so now hopefully I can do what I could not last week. Putt ! Only took a week to find something that was in my backyard the whole time.

The End.

Did you find any drivers or mid range discs back there :D

yeah, but why do they all have your name on them,lol.

I found a set of keys at Dovillio during the OO...

I found a set of keys as well at Centennial hole 6

left a black KC PRO aviar on hole 7 (i think) at McClure this week. let me know if you find it, thanks

Lost a RW Roc (wood roc) @ the island hole @ the Lodge. Has Jace 36157 on the back and the '09 US Masters stamp on the front.

Lost a CFR Wraith (Blue) on hole 15 Island course. It was down by the water's edge, but not in. It was the last hole Saturday and too dark to find it.

Didn't lose a disc.:D and was smart enough to bring lights for the last few holes.:cool:

James Roubidoux #16053 I got a star beast you lost at arcadia this weekend. contact me to get it back.

oops

:eek: no ID huh..Go look in the mud!

Bryan why would you throw a black Xcal at night golf...I think I'll teach you a lesson by keeping it...that was probably your innova coozie also

LOST at Dovillio...

GREEN Star Eco Wraith .. my name on the inner band inside the disc

YELLOW Star Firebird .. my name on the front (maybe back too?)

if returned will trade you some plastic for them, thanks

i just noticed today I was missing a PURPLE E XCAL not black, but I would like it back. Think it just fell out while i was sorting throught some stuff. Don't remember leaving it on the coursae anywhere. Not my coozie though.

u trying to steal my lost disc thunder? what the heck dude!

If you would hold yourself to one drive each time, this problem would correct itself.:D

Paul I have been losing discs since before you started playing. It's originally my lost disc thunder. I still get calls all the time about discs missing two years ago. :)

Bet I don't Lose this though, course I won't be throwing this one either.

Found: my new driver. I threw shots at Black yesterday that I have never been able to do. I let Bill Pennington throw it a couple of times and i didn't think I was going to get it back he threw it so far.

Can you say Katana?

worst disc ever, i have a champion first run that ive thrown about 7-8 times if ur interested

YES! I'm interested. I have the star katanas and I want a champ to try.

The stars are more stable than the champ, so I've read.

I have been bragging about my first run champ Katana for over a month now. Easily adds 50 ft when I get the right snap. I told you guys that you should get one that you would love it. This ESP NUKE is supposed to be the answer to the Boss and Katana as far as speed. I won't know till i get one in I want to throw. Blacky here is strictly for the collection.

LS Discs has a nice variety of Katanas.

Heres one for the books.

I just checked my voice mail and had a message from a guy named Craig that found one of my disc. A white twisted flyer was all he said. Now the good part, it was found at
Parque De La Raza DGC in San Jose California!

I called him back left him a message thanking him for calling but that he could keep the disc.

A few years back I had one returned to me from McKinney Texas.

Whats the furthest one of your's has traveled?

I returned one to the Huk Lab guy in Oregon. I found it in South Carolina. That thing was a bomber too.

That beats my distance. Wow, east coast to west coast.

Rotan played out there a couple of weeks ago, pre Christmas. Could it be his? I know it had your name on it..

Thats funny.

I always keep a few of the discs I find of Daves just to throw over water hazards.

Glad to see I'm not the only one that does it.:D

Bet I don't Lose this though, course I won't be throwing this one either.

mine arrived last week. it is stored away in my restarted collection. feels like it'll be one bad mo-farkle when the "throwable" run comes out this spring.

I lost a yellow CE leopard on hole 17 of Moose Run yesterday. It kicked off a tree and went toward 18s teepad. It has both my name (Cris Hicks) on it and Jose' on it. It could be under some leaves if someone didn't grab it.
Also Jeremy Geiger lost an orange Whipet on hole 18 of Moose Run.
I'll give you a disc of your choice if you find the Leopard. Let me know if anyone is looking to sell one or trade for something.

PLEASE someone tell me you picked up my putter at the mini tonight on the CTP throw off and drove off.... white(brownish) no bead aviar.. has what used to be a black stamp on top that says tri-cities disc golf club.

nobody turned it in to me. did it have a name and/or phone number on it?

of course, a few times, but who knows if its visible, i throw that disc 1-3 times a hole. I have to redo the name/number alot.

if anyone knows people that were out there, that dont check the forums, please have them check their car or golf bag.

I lost a Special Blend red Orc with my name, Cris Hicks, on the underside of it a couple of weeks ago. I lost it either at Black Hawk or possible hole 1 (left it) at Moose Run. Reward if it comes back to me.

last night I left my black flashlight by hole 8s basket or hole 9s basket, or next to the cars where wayne parks to take entry.

it is very small the size of a highlighter. please return if you found it, 5 dollar reward or free used disc of your choice.

thanks

Someone please check on the baskets at the Civitan. Saw a newer model Blue toyota prius pulling into Kum n Go in Muskogee with a basket in the rear. It was a course style basket and not a traveler. It could very well have been these two guys basket but it just didn't feel right. I didn't get the tag because I was leaving as they were pulling in. But I got a pretty good description and if baskets are missing might be able to use video from the store to get the tag #. This was on 8-17-10 about 10:15 on peak Blvd in Muskogee. Thanks.

Someone PLEASE return my yellow aviar putter...the one with The Lodge stamp and my name on it....

Found this in my email this morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



For immediate release:
August 25, 2010
This year marks the 12th anniversary of the United States Disc Golf Championship (USDGC). Since its inception in 1999, the USDGC has grown into one of disc golf’s premier championship events. Innova Disc Golf, in association with the event’s many volunteers, sponsors, USDGC Partners, Winthrop University, and the Professional Disc Golf Association, is extremely proud to have been such an integral part of our game’s history.
Innova considers it a privilege to be in a leadership position. We have seen disc golf, and our business, grow and change tremendously over nearly three decades. The disc golf market is continually expanding and Innova is more committed than ever to improving our service to this incredibly diverse community of players.
In recognition of the growth of disc golf around the globe, we have decided to move the USDGC to a biennial schedule. Effective immediately, the USDGC will alternate years with Europe’s major event – The European Open. The USDGC will be held in even numbered years and the European Open in odd numbered years. This will enable better global promotion of professional disc golf, as well as afford us an opportunity to serve another important segment of the disc golf population.
Amateur and recreational golfers represent the fastest growing portion of the disc golf community. With these players in mind, a new event will visit the famous grounds at Winthrop University in 2011. Details will be forthcoming, but two of the guiding principles will be: Amateurism and Fun Competition in a Professional Setting at Winthrop. Despite these changes our mission remains the same; to live disc golf and to enable others to discover such a wonderful lifetime sport.
We are excited about the future of disc golf, more so than ever before. Opportunity for the game’s advancement abounds. We are confident that this new schedule will allow the USDGC to sustain its tradition of excellence, while building an even better fan base for the game’s elite.
One thing you can count on this fall is that Innova and the USDGC family are steadily preparing for our greatest tournament experience to date. We look forward to October, and to seeing you here.
Warmest regards,
Innova Disc Golf

Effective immediately, the USDGC will alternate years with Europe�s major event � The European Open. The USDGC will be held in even numbered years and the European Open in odd numbered years.

that sounds terrible, how can you take away the US CHAMPIONSHIP. we lose the biggest and best professional event every other year? well.... looks like I can go to worlds and vibram next year...

Paul, I think it is their belief that by having it every two years it will allow them to put even more money towards the payout. Just think if 1st paid 30K instead of 15k.

How do you think we feel as partners? Annual membership for a bi-annual event.

And, if you don't like that announcement, just wait till you get the next one.

Thats a good one Dave.

The announcment means Innova has also figured out there is profit in ams and only cash out for pro's..

And, they want to expand their Europe market. I can't say I blame them on either front, but business and nothing else is the motivating factor here..

The second announcement Dave speaks of is rumor only at this time. Keep focusing east for now!!!

I didn't tell them where to focus Mike.

I think that all players that are against this should boycott the event in 2011. I know I will.

I understand Dave, and you are most likely correct about the change. I for one am not ready to accept it.

When I read saw the press announcement in my email, I thought oh crap, things are about to change..

I continue floating down the river of denial!!!

I doubt I boycott, but the luster of being a USDGC partner isn't what it used to be. We both have Roc's on ebay and I am shocked at the lack of activity and low bid amounts.


But, when they announced the general public can by the same disc in two weeks, that has caused a certain amount of confusion amongst the Roc collectors!!!

There are essentially 3 events every year that are ones you would probably prefer not to miss. Worlds (lots of rounds, good time)... Vibram (awesome tourney because of the Dodges, professionalism)... and USDGC (payout, professionalism) ... and they are taking away US??

How can you do away with the tradition and prestige of THE US CHAMPIONSHIP? Money aside... the professionalism involved with the event and the thrill of trying to qualify as a player for the best event of the year... this will take some of my drive away to travel and play NTs, if I don't need to qualify for a spot.

I really hope they reconsider, but I highly doubt they will, since they have made it public.

Do they really think more players will travel to europe to play in the open? I mean, surely, there will be more attendance, but not really THAT much more.

Oh man, this is sad news. I will cherish this year's tournament even more now.

Paul, the Japan Open has been on a two year schedule for a while and it fills.

yeah mostly with asians, im talking about taking a tournament away from US players every other year. im not talking about how those tournaments overseas fill.

Paul, you keep coming at this like they are taking something away, when in all reality, the USDGC sees this as a way to give you even more when they do host it.

I use the Japan Open as an example because it has been VERY successfull with a bi-annual format.

Same reasoning that Billy Ray's sells out of smoked chicken on Fridays, its the only day you can get it. If it was everyday, they wouldn't get the same results.

But you are right, this is even more reason to enjoy yourself this year.

I'm curious how the qualifiying will work. Using only the year before the event? Or using both years. Will each state get two spots? Or one every other year? Or if the event becomes huge from this, will the states even get a spot?

I think that this, over time will make the event bigger and better. It is very hard to pull off what they do there every year. The amount of the volunteers needed, course work, preparation, fund rasing......ect. Its a HUGE undertaking. We all want it to be bigger and better and they listened, we just may not like the response.

No matter, we all will adjust to it and it will become the norm. I just hope that they are correct about their decision and decisions yet to be announced.

And think about this, this year they raised right at 58K from Roc sales, now double that for the event, plus everything else they do.

It's not like this is like ball golf where every tournament has a huge purse. I don't see how making it every two years and upping the prize money is any benefit to the players at all. You keep talking about playing for more money, its just playing for the same amount of money once every two years, instead of twice. Now if more events started doing this, say we had 10 NTs every year, and every other year it was a set of 10 different NTs, and the purses were double what they are now, because money was raised every two years, that would be cool!... but if they just took the existing number of NTs and cut it in half and had them be every two years, there is no benefit to that.

I'm not sitting here saying something good can't come from this, I'm just thinking my initial thoughts are, we have a badass tournament that we only get to play once every two years now, instead of every year. It sucks, but apparently it is a reality. I'm sure Innova and the PDGA ... or whoever else was involved in the decision have their reasons that may not be published, hopefully it benefits the players in the long run as well as grows the sport.

If having it every two years means they can budget more toward filming and TV air time... then I am totally for it, the more GOOD QUALITY exposure the better.

I'm not totally opposed, just initially saddened.

I agree.

But just think how big the bag tag match play will be next year?:cool:

Since everyone will be boycotting the USDGC event.:p


I'm just glad I got to experience Winthrop Gold at least once.

Enjoy your time there this year Paul.

Unless I missed it, I doubt the payout will be double just because it is every other year.

My guess is Jonathan Poole and company, i.e. Innova, will focus all funds and possible Roc sales in the odd years for Europe, even years for USDGC.

I have another guess, the state spots, including state coordinator, will only be available for even USDGC years in the USA.

I bet they do the same program and offer those spots for odd years to the European community..

All just speculation on my part..

that sounds terrible, how can you take away the US CHAMPIONSHIP. we lose the biggest and best professional event every other year? well.... looks like I can go to worlds and vibram next year...

Paul, we love to show off our New England hospitality. Qualify and come on up! :-D

I would bet on him qualifying for your event Steve.

Paul, we love to show off our New England hospitality. Qualify and come on up! :-D

It is officially in the plans! I will log on to the site and figure out different ways to try and qualify. I've heard nothing but amazing things from friends and players that go there.

Oh boy, Pauls head is going swell now!!! The Dodge himself reached out!!!

I wish that the ODGF could build a gold course for Paul and his closest 15 friends to play on ;) that way we could keep the rest of the local courses casual friendly and grow the total number of players not just the top players.
you know like how there is only one Southern Hills in Tulsa to attract major events and then there are a slew of easier courses and public courses to encourage common folks to play golf.:D

Found on hole 8 tee sign: one pair of prescription glasses by Mark

Contact me if you lost them and I will hook you back up with them.



Lost one glow Monarch HOTB stamp at the Lodge on Hole 17 Creek course:(

I lost a CE baby blue leopard, with Cris Hicks written in cursive on the bottom and some other signatures (it is an old ace disc I have probably had over 10yrs.). I think I lost it at Black Hawk, but can't be sure because I just noticed it missing (early onset of alzheimers).
If you find it or have found it call me Cris Hicks at (918)407-7904 and I will make sure the reward is worth you getting it back to me.

I found a chair at Blackhawk today if anyone left one behind, let me know...

Hey, Cris, I lost a CE leopard at Blackhawk too! I lost it about 3 weeks ago - just left it alongside the fairway on one of the long holes while playing dubs. It used to be purple, but had faded to no-color translucence, so I had The Line put a custom dye on it - a reddish diamond pattern on 1/2 of the disc only. My name and number are on the inside rim, but could be too faded to read. Call me at 918 809 7224 for the reward, either $$ or disc swap out. I'm trying to break in a new Champ Leopard to replace it, but I just cant get used to it.

Full Blood Wiemaraner needs a good home.

Her name is Lola, she is 8 months old and has not been spade. She needs a yard where she can roam. She has been kep in a duplex with little exercise. She is very friendly. We are wanting to try and place her in a good enviroment. If someone has, or knows of somebody, please let me know. The dog will be free to the right home. 918-232-8562

Is it Am Jam time already??

For the animals it is always Am Jam time:)
I wouldn't think it would be too hard to get a home for a full blooded young dog like this one!

Yeah right, that's why the SPCA is full.. Notice the anti-barking box on his collar..

Come on Cris, step up and show us all how committed you are to saving lost animals!!!

LOST:

Blue "2010 pro worlds" star beast

lost on hole 2 hunter park, most likely on the left side of the fairway, about 3/4 of the way down the fairway to pin high. I would guess it slid up under some leaves or something, it just vanished on me!

it doesn't have my name just the number "2" in black sharpie, in the center of the back of the disc.

disc trade reward if found!

(also lost echo green destroyer in the water of hole 15 redhawk, disc trade reward if returned)

I can't find my CE Valk, has Cris Hicks written on the bottom of it. It is black with a yellow Saints stamp on it and I last remember throwing it on hole 14 at Riverside during our doubles round last Sunday. Reward of a new disc of your choice if you can get it back to me. thanks
Cris Hicks (918)407-7904

Just one disc for a custom dyed CE Valk?

Just one disc for a custom dyed CE Valk?

Does this mean you have it and are holding it ransome? What is your price before you give my disc to a Dallas Cowboys fan to destroy?

Now you know me better than that. I always return and refuse rewards but there are those out there that it would take more than 1 disc to get them to give back CE anything.

Found yesterday!

One new Slackster on the ground.

Jasper 5lb 1oz.


Cangratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

Now you know me better than that. I always return and refuse rewards but there are those out there that it would take more than 1 disc to get them to give back CE anything.

I will make it worth whoever's while if someone returns my disc (with the fleurdelis symbol on it yellow with black background). That includes if you see someone else throwing it I will pay up to $50 to get it back. It has a big gouge in it, but I have had it forever and know how it flies.

Congrats to the Slack family!

... FurDog's bag ... both of 'em ...

From the picnic??

From the picnic??

... he's not a SureDog ... ? ... one from his house or truck ... one from his panties ...

OK, he bought disc to play Sunday afternoon doubles from the club. Is he sure he even had a bag with him before that afternoon??

... SHE'S not sure ...

I could swear I had it in the truck when I showed up to the picnic. I'm starting to wonder if Treat, fearfull I might serve up another surprise beatdown on him in the future, grabbed it and hid it somewhere when he was helping Marie and I unload the truck.

He's probably looking to hold it for ransom to make me give up my mountain.:(

... no "Diplomatic Immunity" fur you ...

Lost a neon green eco/echo destroyer at Hunter...it super-hyzered down towards the creek from my drive on 14 and I never found it...if no one ran off with it (the park was REALLY full today), it's somewhere around/in the creek between 12's pin and tee. Reward if found!

Lost a Midnight buzzz at mcclure. will give CE for its return

Look familiar to anyone out there? My cursive is out of practice.

Ah, I can see that now...it's like an optical illusion!

No problem, I probably smelled pretty bad after wandering around in that pond anyway.

Looksto be sawed off.

This crap is really starting to get on my nerves. First Billy's laptop and now another freakin' basket. This has to stop. I HATE thieves...

The only person I would rule out right now is Woody, lol. Oh and myself, because I live in an apartment and have a basket in my trunk at all times.

I lost a beat up red Shark on hole 13 "I believe", in the water at Centennial..

Please return this disc it is clutch for me..

I went in after it but one found Brandon Peak's new TDSA pro Katana.

On a related note, Brandon Peak I found your Katana at Centennial!

Looksto be sawed off.

There was absolutely no difference in IE and Google Chrome ... lol
The original picture didn't show up on either one :P

at the lines event yesterday on the way back to the truck i found a putter at hole 11 with Devon on the top.

Ya I finally saw another computer and the first wouldn't load in multiple browsers and yet all will still load in mine, odd :-/

Apparently, despite all the pictures, no one knows who owns that pretty signature anyway.

Discraft XS inscribed w/ Paul DeJulius 26678, hole 13 @McClure

Paul is a OKC player (last I knew). If your at the team event I think you could send it back with one of the OKC area teams to get it to him.

I'll bring it along, thanks.

Yellow champ feldberg boss lost at the lodge during the team event, lost next to the clubhouse in the wide open field (go figure). Name "Tom R III" written underneath.

Innova Champion XCal, magenta-reddish color. Someone picked it up yesterday prior to the mini on Hole #8 at Riverside. Bottom of disk says "Tom R III" and possibly my PDGA number underneath that, #49236.

Please return it, it was my favorite disk.

Dude???

That's lost two discs within about a week and a half.

Hope they come back to you but maybe you should try to land them in the fairway for a change or perhaps strap a GPS device to them.

Just kidding.;)

I remember I lost a special blend at Riverside one time on the old course.

One of the guys on the card in front of us swiped it but because I didn't see them actually pick it up I would have had to woop the whole group to find out who had it hidden under their shirt.:cool:

I lost a CE baby blue leopard, with Cris Hicks written in cursive on the bottom and some other signatures (it is an old ace disc I have probably had over 10yrs.). I think I lost it at Black Hawk, but can't be sure because I just noticed it missing (early onset of alzheimers).

This has been found, messaged Cris on facebook, will call him tomorrow. :)

I think some woman lost her mind at Wal-Mart (http://www.dreamindemon.com/2011/12/09/woman-arrested-after-setting-up-meth-lab-inside-walmart/), can you help her find it? LOL. :D
