We recently cut a large quantity of matboards for an event, each of these was signed by the partipants (lots of sigs).

Today these boards are back in our workshop to be "fixed", all of them signed on the back of the board, including through and over the text "BAINBRIDGE #4203".

If this is the dumbest thing I ever see I'm content.

Thank you, Lance. I'm going to be chuckling over that one all day.

Oh good grief... and these people drive cars! :eek: Makes you scared to go out in public. :rolleyes:

(Were they orriginally from Washigton DC? I think I may have helped them a few years ago. :D )

and these people drive cars! Oh, it's much worse than that, Sue.

Many of them procreate.

I am curious as to how they will be fixed.

I was wondering about that, too.

I picture Lance spending his days and nights hand-coloring the backs of the matboard to match the front and then sanding the bevels to reverse them.

I'm also curious about Bainbridge #4203. That must be a special Kiwi board that we can't get here in the states.

LOL, Sue, if only you knew!

We have been asked to reverse the bevel. The 4203 is a Novacore, Cream I believe. Trust me, they would not go to a better board.

Ron, do think that perhaps these people will have children born in about July?

It mght be easier to simply forge the signatures on the front side of the board.

Ron said:
"...Many of them procreate."

And Lyoncat said:
"I am curious as to how they will be fixed."

I don't think that's any of our business, although it's certainly a good idea. Contraception is probably out of the question for those people.

Sorry Lance this is just too good an opportunity to miss! Thought you'd be able to hide up north hey.....no chance!!
Are the participants from New Zealand http://thegrumble.com/ubb/icons/icon43.gif?

Jim, I thought we discussed this previously.

I make the jokes - you talk about Mylar.

We can both talk about WallBuddies, but that's it.

(That was pretty good, though.)

Gentleman Jim! Aren't you getting a little risque? Is having Grumblers attending your classes Warping you? :eek: Actually, Susan and I both interpreted Lyoncat's question, "how they will be fixed?", the same way you did. I never occured to us that "they" referred to the signatures or the mats. tongue.gif

Better stick to mylar, as Ron suggests.

Ron, can I join the discussions on Wall Buddies? What can I do with all those screw eyes now that I have found Wall Buddies?

Lance, why didn't this thread start on Warped? It seems Warped to me.

Linda, Lance doesn't approve of Warped.

I attribute this to youth and living upside down.

Otherwise, he seems a decent-enough sort, so we haven't put out a contract on him yet.

Hahaha, that happened to me once too. The funny part was that it was a colored mat they had chosen and once again, every single guest wrote on the back. That was a Crescent mat though, and now whenever I do one like that I put a note on the back that says "WRITE ON OTHER SIDE." :D

This is still so dumb! All I can do is sit and shake my head every time I read it. I'm sure they spent a lot of time picking out the colored side. :D
