Golden Beetle's: INVITE ONLY fly swap

golden beetle said:
A few decided to quit. I didn't quit.

A clash of egos developed over who could organize the better fly swap.

That's the truth. Far from it.

Look at the list above.

And try hard to figure it out. From what planet you are calling in from today.

But the list of tyers is above, and it is stronger than ever.

It is a solid group of 12. And you will get a few bonus flies for participating. A buddy of mine is sending some flies over on Monday that I will distribute.

Announce your flies whenever you're ready.

First of all I never sent GB a PM, txt, e-mail, phone call or post stating I was going to drop out.

Not a single word.

I joined Andy's also, and the clash of an EGO is GB and GB's alone.

When he saw that I also joined Andy's swap, guess he just spazzed out.



Looks like I got thrown out of the swap.



Now if he wants me to remain, GB will have to BEG ME.

DRAMA, Drama,drama; You guys should just have a spit swap instead.
 
Let me bump this up just in case there are a few on the list that are, well, too offended by my antics to be a part of my...

FLY SWAP!!!

I think we have a group o stand up guys.

But I'd understand if you ddropped out now.

Just not any later.

Start posting your patterns and lets have fun.
 
Hey Beetle... I changed my mind about the swap. I have changed my mind and decided that I'm out. Sorry.

Yes...

My castle is crumbling.

I had an empire of fly tyers...

I was the King of Swaps.

But...

No more.

You wanna be King of Swaps, AK?

We can call you the Lord of the Fly... Swap.

This is an... event.

I want to repeat that if you feel, for any reason, that you should not be part of the swap, you can drop out.

Without any hard feelings.

I mean it.

What will people think of you, if you actually participate in the BEETLE SWAP?

Sincerely,
G Beetle Fly Tyer
 
Well ok, so maybe I was never in but if I was in, I may have changed my mind but now I'm re-considering. I know there's a spot open for this swap for me to jump in but I'm not going to do this without some cash. You going to take a collection for my efforts to make it worth my while? If not, I'm sorry to say that I've once again changed my mind and contrary to what I may have led you to believe in the beginning of this post, I'm going to have to opt out.

I gotta keep this focused.

Drop out now if you don't want to be associated with the controversy that surrounds.... Beetle!

This is your last warning!!

What will they say about you if you actually follow through an tie for the beetle swap?

Quitters never win...

And quitters never quit...

...if they want to win.

Unless, of course, they were fired...

Wrap your head round that shit!

Hell yeah!
 
I'll be tying up some patterns tomorrow at the SGM Fest.
I will post my final choice of fly on Monday.
I don't care if this becomes the Beetle Ronbo swap.
I won't quit, never have never will.:punk:

THE DON OF NEFF.
 
Looking good, folks.

But I got some bad news...

I got a PM from Brk Trt.

He is out of the swap, for good reasons.

But it appears that this is a go...

Who FEARS the DON of NEFF?
 
Great,
Matt G will be at the SGM tomorrow.
I will give him some shit about the swap and a beer.
And possible shame him into tying some flies for the swap!!!
I will bring a lot of beer.:)

Give it a shot!!!!!

Ron, I got some flies from another good tyer that arrived via mail today for the swap also.

I was gonna hand them out as bonus flies...

So we're looking good.

Unless...

There are some amongst us...

Who FEAR THE DON OF NEFF.
 
Should I give Mike Valla a call.
Maybe I could trade a fly for a rod.
A heavy price to pay but dam it would be nice!!!!

Call Valla!

You ought to know, Ron...

That I threatened to TRASH Valla on N.E.F.F. if he didn't participate in the swap.

That didn't work on him.

Tell him I'm sorry.

I didn't mean it.

And if he ties for the swap...

I'll be happy tomorrow.

One day of happiness for Beetle?

FUCKIN PRICELESS.
 
I'm not certain if I mentioned that I was dropping out of this swap but I don't feel like reading through the entire thread again to find out. If someone can remind me, that would be great.

Regardless of the outcome, I think it's best if I inform you that I was thinking about rescinding my swap resignation (if of course that was ever the case). I would like you to know that although I was never a swap participant, I am now participating in this thread.

That's all for now.

If you join the swap, Dcabarle.

The DON OF NEFF?

Will be overthrown.

And Pee Wee Herman will have won.

Now I've already told you that you must PAY ME and PAY ME with FRANKLINS. No, Not Aretha Franklins and not Franklin Mints, I'm talking BENJAMINE'S and lots of them in cold hard CA$$$$$$H. SEND ME MONEY bettle and I'll join in on your crusade to divide and conquer the evil emporer.
