He's Back . . .

I am happy to report that myself, my wife and of course, the Big Ass Buck had a wonderful time on our trip to The Maldives and Sri Lanka. During his time with us Buck communed with the Buddha, tried some traditional Sri Lankan cuisine (Chicken Cheese Kottu pictured in photo), spent some time on the beach, and in perhaps a first for any T206, went on a scuba dive in a makeshift "wet suit". I can't say that it was the most secure apparatus ever constructed, but after a few hours in the Maldivian sun he was as good as new. Sadly, now that our journey has come to an end it is time for him to move on . . . so shoot me an email (joshmargolin@gmail.com) if you want him and I'm sure we can work out a trade!

Maybe a skydive?

abothebear 05-30-2011 05:39 PM

I was just wondering aloud to my wife just the other day what LAH was up too. Great pictures!

dstraate 06-01-2011 03:23 PM

I'm a big fan of the Buddha pic. One hell of a way to display a card.

t206hound 06-01-2011 03:34 PM

There's one space shuttle mission left :D... anyone have connections at NASA?

milkit1 06-01-2011 07:50 PM

space shuttle would be the best! We need to get em with a celebrity too!

margoaepi 06-01-2011 08:38 PM

Thanks Dave, took some time and patience as it was a bit of a delicate photo to take.

bbcard1 07-12-2011 08:31 PM

Anybody heard from Buck lately?

gnaz01 07-12-2011 08:37 PM

I have Bucky
 
He will be going with me in about 10 days to an Alaska cruise for 10 days, through the mountains and along the seas :D

Pics will come

milkit1 07-12-2011 09:22 PM

awesome!

gnaz01 08-10-2011 03:52 PM

He's BAAAACCCCKKKKK!!!
 
Hey everyone,

Buck is back from a week long Alaska cruise!! Pictures to follow shortly.

Bigger question is: Who wants him next???

PM me with any trade bait :D

Greg

benderbroeth 08-10-2011 04:36 PM

this is a great thread!!!

npa589 08-12-2011 01:49 AM

Ok....

So, this may just be the greatest thread I've ever read...

Yes - that may be correct.

It makes me so happy that I'm not even necessarily able to laugh.



Well done gentleman....well done. That scuba diving pic is Grade-A meat.


I know there is a waiting list, but I'm probably going to be in Jamaica or the Bahamas for my honeymoon in November..................

milkit1 08-16-2011 06:38 AM

lets see those pics :)

rdixon1208 08-16-2011 10:39 AM

abothebear 08-17-2011 11:46 AM

Nice photos!

I am having a hard time not feeling a little bummed that LAH has travelled more in a few months than I have travelled in all my years.

Trade on!

teetwoohsix 08-17-2011 02:31 PM

Thanks for the update & pics.......
 
This is a very enjoyable thread :D That ol' Bucky sure does get around :D
LAH RULES !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Clayton,

I agree! LAH rules!! Funny though, no one has contacted me about who wants him next :confused::confused::confused:

abothebear 08-19-2011 11:39 AM

I see from the thread that there are several in the passive trade partner line.

But don't worry if you have to hold on to him for a bit while waiting for the offers to arrive. They'll come in eventually.

Who can resist the opportunity to be a part of an international phenomenon like this? Years from now, we fortunate few will look back on year one of LAH's travels and say, "My name is in the first log book." and tears will well up in our eyes and in the eyes of those who hear us. And then one of the less fortunate will say, "I took my turn recently, it was an indescribable experience. But, man, shipping is outrageous these days!"

gnaz01 08-20-2011 09:58 PM

Large Ass is GONE!
 
I'm gonna miss him, he's off with Peter Ullman to.........:confused:(I know but don't want to steal Peter's thunder) :D

ullmandds 08-21-2011 07:51 PM

Thanks Greg...for express mailing Large Ass to me...he'll be available for future adventures mid september. I was dissappointed he was unable to come with me to Ecuador last spring...he missed out on swimming with sea lions and chewing on coca leaves while climbing volcanoes...But it appears he had a butt load of fun in the indian ocean! Hopefully he'll enjoy this trip as well...we'll be heading to Turkey for 15 days on thursday...pics to follow!

Thanks again Greg!

ullmandds 08-23-2011 03:58 PM

Thanks Greg...Large Ass showed up at my office today...he seems a little haggard...we'll start packing...leave thurs! I think he's going to like the layover in Amsterdam!

margoaepi 08-23-2011 06:02 PM

I don't think the Indian Ocean did him any favors.

Sterling Sports Auctions 08-23-2011 07:26 PM

Take him to the red light district and try to make more Bucky's. :D

Don't forget to stop by for a smoke and some fine art.

No prob, Pete. After a bit in Amsterdam, Buck is going to say "the heck with the layover, let's just stay here!!! :D"

bbcard1 08-24-2011 04:55 PM

I concur that this thread is chock full of win.

ullmandds 09-12-2011 06:51 PM

Large Ass and I returned home to Saint Paul, MN this past saturday night. We're a little jet lagged...but had an incredible trip to Turkey. We had a connecting flight in Amsterdam so had the treat of an afternoon in one of my favorite cities...and apparently Buck's too!!!

We started the day with a live sex show...Buck had never seen one before...I think he liked it!
http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i1...s/36a71137.jpg

I then told Buck about the red light district...and he was intrigued...he wanted to stop for a few provisions first!
http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i1...s/e134e4d3.jpg

We cruised the red light district...but none of the ladies piqued Buck's interest...so we had a cup of coffee!
http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i1...s/88caf21e.jpg

I think Buck liked Amsterdam...I know I did...Turkey in time!

milkit1 09-12-2011 07:51 PM

awesome! Does Bucky have his shots?

milkit1 11-14-2011 07:30 PM

Where's Bucky at? Its been TWO months people!

Cardboard Junkie 11-14-2011 07:56 PM

Bucky's Adventures!
 
Yeah! Ibeen wondering about Bucky too. If he hasn't been to The Big Island I would put him up for a day or two. I want my name on the list! Aloha! Dave. PS What's Bucky "going for" these days?

Guys...I'm really sorry as I'm been negligent...here are a few pics from Buck and I's adventure in Turkey a few months ago...Buck is available for travel!

Buck in Cappadocia, at the ruined City of Ephysis...and visiting some salt flats in southeastern turkey.

milkit1 11-14-2011 08:51 PM

awesome shots peter! we need to create a bucky map to keep track of where buckys been.
I have a request for future bucky travelers. bucky is a soft breeze away from falling apart, I think we should keep em protected. jesus what would this world be like without bucky?!?!

ullmandds 11-14-2011 08:54 PM

maybe he should be laminated!!!!

Cardboard Junkie 11-14-2011 08:57 PM

Hey! Here's an idea!
 
Lets get Bucky graded!! Start a Grade "large Ass" fund! I'll chip in a buck! Aloha! Dave.

Jantz 11-14-2011 09:36 PM

Too bad Bucky isn't in Ohio. He could go into the tank with me on Wednesday and have his kidney stones busted up!

If you send me large ass I could take a pic of him in front of NC's state capitol in Raleigh as I'm about 15 mins from there. I could also take a pic in front of the dean dome (UNC) and Cameron indoor (piss on Duke). I enjoy seeing the travels. Does he need a passport to travel overseas or do customs just feel bad for him and let him through security?

milkit1 11-15-2011 06:46 AM

haha, my guess is his celebrity status now gets him through ;)

bbcard1 11-15-2011 07:11 AM

Great thread...love the new pics.

ullmandds 11-15-2011 02:47 PM

AGAIN...Large Ass is available for travelling...if there are no takers I will take him to Laos with me in late January. That would be a first...2 trips in a row with the same owner...surely someone is seeking his companionship!

milkit1 11-16-2011 09:30 PM

so who's taking Bucky?
