My New ROTO Toy! The Real Preciousssssssssss
« on: June 20, 2005, 09:34:14 AM »
Well I can't beleive it but it came today.  I am so happy that I found it.  I may never drill it I may just stare at its beauty.  This may be my most favorite ball of all time.  I think I am still in shock.  Eric Spivey you are the man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe that ball was formerly one of TBU's magic orbs, and his since he once touched it, it shall forever glow with a divine light signifying it's previous ownership by the magnifcent TBU?

I'm sure it's just the way the flash on the camera distributes itself through the lens, errrr, I mean the ball.  

Nice piece.  One of the few asymmetrical plastic balls ever produced.

Glad to see you liked it.
I didn't want to see a good man goto jail.

I guess you got lucky, because I have a collection of different
clear and viz a balls sitting in the house, just waiting for someone
worthy to possess them. lol

MAn if I knew you wanted it this badly, I would have sold it to you for $500????!?!?!?

Enjoy

Yep the Grenade is the Supreme cool in spare balls, the tire is awesome but nothing beats the grenade not yet anyways.  When I use to throw one as my spare ball I got all kinds of oooohs and ahhhhhs over it.   I just can't drill this one anytime soon I don't think.

I know what you mean,
IT was sitting in my collection for 2 years.
I don't throw 15 so I knew I wasn't going to drill it.

SO it sat...  waiting for a loving homelol
