who would you like to meet in person

[bobbygedd]

ive met, or should i say encountered some really cool people here, and some real fools. some are gone, some remain(hey, i think i heard that in a song somewhere). ive never met anyone from here in person. if u had to pick just one person from here, who would u pick to meet in person, and maybe do a little work with.

[CO.d 502nd]

Ive meet quit a few people from here .And ive made friends on the instant messenger with many on here.

65 hoss and i instant message each other quite a bit and talk on the phone quite a bit when we both aint busy.

It would be hard as heck to pick just one .I have a freind on the instant messenger chester jm5 his name is gary he dont post a lot .I talk with him on the instant messenger every day this may sound corny but although we have never seen each other eye ball to eye ball he is a dear friend .We talk on the phone all the time he sends pics of his family and i send pics of mine to him.

It would be hard to pick just one from such folks as charles , geo gunn and sls and many many others .

Dont think i could pick just one

[FrankenScagMachines]

Odin :D
John Gamba :D
many more..... if it could only be one I'd probably say John Gamba though.

[GraZZmaZter]

This is a tuffy. But to pick one, i think i would love to meet John Allin. However, he would pry want to punch me 15 minutes after he met me because of all the questions i would be asking him .... lol!

[Moguy]

I'd say GraZZ but he'd probably punch me for asking too many questions right after he asked Mr. Allin. Nice work btw GraZZ

[cos]

I was looking forward to meeting Eric ELM. I would say there are alot of people I would meet from here. I met quite a few and am good friends with Scraper.

So far I met: Scraper, Evan, justalawnguy, chip, TLS, Gogetter, Ray Kirby (happen to be in Charlotte), and a couple more that I can't think of.

[thartz]

Eric Elm without a doubt;Just started to e-mail with him before his passing.That is one person ALL of us should have met.TPI Robert and I have become really good friends.Like to meet LGF, Jim Lewis,Frankenscag,65 Hoss.Would love to go to a trade show with LGF;Let the games begin!LOL Maybe we could test ride the jungle jim motorized wheelchair together.

[rvsuper]

He's not on the forum...but I'm going to change it a little...I would love to meet David Mellor, the guy that does the fantastic striping on Fenway park.

[Auroris]

From the sounds of things, I wish I had known Eric Elm. I missed out.

At this point, it would be awesome to meet more of the guys from around this area... in the Pacific Northwest - a few are Scag48, Popsicle, Just Turned Pro, and Jim Lewis.

A few other names belonging to guys I'd love to meet - John Gamba, Green Pastures, brucec32, Envy Lawnservice, yourlawnguy, TLS, johnhenry. Oh and BHB - err... "FrankenScag" cuz he's a character and will rip this biz right up when he gets old enough.

There are others that I'm not thinking of right off, but it is late and there is grass to cut in the morning.

[Turf Dancer]

First and foremost I would have to meet the one and only Jim Lewis !

[AL Inc]

John Allin.

[John Gamba]

I'd Like to Meet Everybody, I think We Should Pick A Neutral Spot this winter Like FLORIDA And take the picture Of all Time.
John
Oh i'm on the Left.

[The Lawn Boy Pro]

Eric Elm and sefinetly John Gamba! I LOVE his machines and his "tireless" marks striping! Its PERFECTION!!!!!!!!:D :D :D :D

[Martino]

Lorenzo Piedra.

[Duncan Lawn Care]

Cindy Crawford!!! The more I see her on here the more I want to Meet her.

[Green Pastures]

Here ya go!!!!!!!

She is aging VERY gracefully. I swear the girl gets better and better looking as she get's older.

John has an awesome idea!

Florida is a wee bit out of the way for me and some of the guysup here, but would most likely be a welcome break from the rains of winter.

Any takers? Now would be the time to start thinking about getting together, so we'd have time to book places, etc.

John - love that red scarf! LOL :D Oh... woops, you're the one on the left.

[lawncare3]

We should ALL meet in the MOST CENTRAL state in the us (like the one in the middle of the country). Then It would be more fair. Could we leave ULTIMATE LAWN out?

Thanks,

Chris

[FrankenScagMachines]

I have to meet lawncare3 too! Ultimate Lawn, the Lawn Choupique, they all have to come too!!! LOL
I wanna meet Envy lawn as well as all the "old timers" like Hoss, rodfather, SLS, Jim Lewis, Jim whats his name Groundkeeper or something (lives in northern IN), PaulJ, etc. could go on and on. I agree we should all get together but not in one corner of the US. Indianapolis IN would be perfect, it's the crossroads of America! We could probably meet at Bill Parrish's (FineLinesLawn) shop there near Indy. Lots of things to do at Indy like the Children's Museum if your kids are coming (it's good), the Indy 500 museum, and lots lots more. Should we do it in middle of December or what? Has to be after fall cleanups and equipment catch-up time but before the holidays and the start of a new season. I think Bill has a few acres of fields near the shop if we wanted to play on his Dixie's he could let it go for us LOL. Oh I guess we better talk to him, but he never gets on here just LF.

[cos]

Why not at the Expo in Louisville? Alot of people from here go there anyway.

[lawnkid]

I would have liked to know Eric ELM a little better, but nnow that he has passed away, I can't. Otherwise, I'd like to meet LawnGodFather, 65Hoss, MowEd, Odin, and Green Pastures. I look up to these 5 the most.

[65hoss]

We always say the expo and GIE, but very few of us ever meet up. I will not be at Louisville this year, the new dates suck. Several of us will be at St. Louis in November for GIE. Better show anyway.

I can't believe I've been called an Old timer. haha.

I want to meet JAA, Jim Lewis, Ray Kirby and several others.
Oh, and Odin is going to buy me a beer and maybe a steak. He just doesn't know it yet. lol.

[promower2002]

I have an idea. How about we all meet in Louisville this Oct. I've been looking forward to that expo since July of last year!!:D

[CO.d 502nd]

65HOSS

Buddy one day im gonna either goona be visting or attending a burial of one of my "weird scottish "relatives down there in memphis and you gonna look up and see a goteed big dumb scotsman with a dago wife and two little bitty girls.
I'll take you out on the town ma man .......you think you could keep up with the old scot?hahahahaha.

Many names on here i admire mowed, john henry,evan ,rodfather.crazygator and of course my buddy 65hoss how could a man be asked to pick just one of these caliber of people.
You to bushhogg id like to see the shop wre you make all your creations hahahahaha

[promower2002]

I have an idea. How about we meet in Louisville in Oct! Been looking forward to the expo since July of last year:D

[rodfather]

odin00, LGF, 65hoss, Envy, BHB, jimlewis, crazygator, Green Pastures, paponte, PAP321, johnhenry,and John Gamba are just a few I can think of for the moment...

[Tvov]

Man, I can't believe I'm the only one to mention him (on the other hand...).....

P*il N*l***n
(letters blocked out in case saying his name out loud will make him appear)

He would be a hoot to talk to, no doubt!

[walker-talker]

Meeting up at the GIE sounds good to me. Somebody familiar with the area should pick a landmark site to meet at. I am sure once the time gets closer this will be discussed more into depth....at least I hope. I would like to meet just about anybody from this site, but particularly Jim Lewis, LawnLad, LGF, 65 Hoss and JAA.

Matt

[CMLLawnServices]

I think , LGF, Swampbeast, nelbuts, cantoo, wesleys lawn, and john gamba

[promower]

Why dont we meet here in Wisconsin. We could meet at the Miller Brewery, thats a pretty good landmark.

[grassdaddy]

Pete,Kayssupply,swampbeast,mowerconsultant and stripeking.

[Scag48]

More of the Northwest guys (Auroris, Just Turned Pro, etc.)

I'd like to have gotten to know Eric ELM better, but for now I'd say I'd say Odin, 65Hoss, Envy, and LGF, because he's quite the character. That's all I can think of at the moment.

[yourlawnguy]

I'd like to meet some of the local guys, Fantasy Lawns, FLMOWER,and any others in Brevard Co. Also would like to meet Jim Lewis, Odin, 65Hoss, and paponte.

[yourlawnguy]

OOPS!!
Forgot John Gamba anyone who likes Exmark that much has got to be an alright guy.

[65hoss]

Does this mean we will finally get you to show up? Get those plane tickets now to St. Louis in November. :)

[a1 lawncare]

65 hoss, since when i first found this site i was still using a jd 455, he helped me on my choice of machines and i've never looked back, and of course eric elm, what a class act.

others i'd like to meet not related to this industry

jay yelas, this years BASS angler of the year and a class act
hank parker, retired professional fisherman overcame great diversity to have an incredible Carrier.

and of course the man, #3 dale sr. nascar, like lawnsite has just not been the same since the passing of some of its most colorful additions.

[FrankenScagMachines]

All mentioned I'd like to meet, yes, even LGF. Maybe he can give me a few pointers how to put a Z on a slope as steep as the one in his backyard.

Yeah we could meet at Louisville. I think we were gonna do that last year but never worked out a time and place.

[greenman]

The way you too get along, you sure you want to meet him? Never know, ya'll might become bestest:D buds.

[nelbuts]

I want to meet J-Lo. Hey what is wrong with FL 78 degrees here in winter? Son can't get any better. Plenty of stuff for the kids and you could make it a write off. Yep if there is a convention then you could write it off. They have a big plant expo here in Tampa that would work just fine for that.

[wobblez]

i would have to say that I would like to meet me, I think I would be cool. So if y'all ever see me out there send me my way so I can meet myself.

and on a side note I would like to also meet some of the guys from my area here in Alabama. I think if you can get along with the other companies in your area you all can help each other grow.

just my 2 cents and as you can see from the first part a crazy 2 cents.

what the hell i think i am going to PM myself.

[Auroris]

Boy, oh boy. I don't know about PM'ing yourself. Good luck, may the force be with you, and most of all..
try not to hurt yourself or any innocent bystanders. :D :blob2:

[GraZZmaZter]

Noone wants to meet me? :( LOL

When is the show in Louisville? If i go, i will get a shirt made up that says " I AM THE GRAZZMAZTER" haha.

I think we should all meet up in LasVegas over the winter. I mean come on, who doesnt like to gamble and suck down free drinks?

[Doc Pete]

And here I thought everyone would want to meet me, so they could either laugh their Butt off at me, or say, "Darn Pete, that Hustler is as good as you say". Now's your chance:dizzy: :dizzy:

[wildbilly1113]

I would like to meet LGF so I could give him a counseling session on compassion and understanding, especially toward FrankenScagMachine.LGF we were all once young and you still are.:angel:

[Rhett]

Can't really think of anyone I would not like to meet. How about Northwest Florida for a meeting spot. Accommodations are cheap during the winter. Lots of great beaches, fishing and nightlife. If you are so inclined. Check out the view on the beach cam at luckysnapper.com

[Gr grass n Hi tides]

I'd like to meet these guys:

Jimlewis - One of the best guys for info. on this site. Not negative.

LGF - Great info & advice. Done it all. He's always watching the fence for the industry.

Green Pastures - We have talked. Good guy & fellow christian. Good posts.

Sleepyhead - Because I could show him where to fish.

Mickhippy (from Australia) - His posts are a hoot sometimes. Calls his shots as only an Aussie can. Could show him our local breaks.

More hard working guys with thoughtful posts and good advice: Grazzmaster, Runner, 65hoss, Bluesteel, PaulJ, mike9497, Barkleymut, GarPA.

[The Green Way]

I have heard pamela lee does mowing on the side and she posts here at times under another name. I'd like to meet her ;-)

[sheppard]

Id liked to have met Eric Elm. Still miss him.

Bluesteel comes to mind...also Cindy Crawford, Lynda Cater (aka Wonder Woman); Nicole Kidman; Helen Slater (aka Supergirl); the chick from Law and Order Angie Harmon;

Now to more mundane requests...William F. Buckley Jr.; Margaret Thatcher; Ronald Reagan; Wyatt Erp (wish he was still alive); Tom Clancy...imagine the money this clown makes; Osama ben Laden...then I'd end his time on this planet.

Cordially,
S.

[CMLLawnServices]

A few more have come to mind: Daddyrabbit so we could have a discussion on P4s 3Ms HUs and emulation (if it was still around)
and Cos because he seems like he has a sense of humor.
and non-lawn site members - Of course #3 Dale Sr, then Dale jr, Kevin Harvick, Richard Childress , Dan Gardner, Chris Burandt, Kourtney Houngerford , Bam Margera thats about all i can think of. Oh and darrel waltrip so i could hear him say" boogity boogity boogity"

[stick9]

Hmm .. I'd like to meet Lawngodfather .. he's hilarious .. and we used to talk all the time.

Littlegreenguy would be cool, as well ...

Stick-NINe

[mike9497]

i would like to meet anyone on here that can stand me lol lol

[Got Grass?]

How about all you guys come up to WNY for a day, bring your equip & help us all get caught up? Sorry we cant pay ya tho. Some of us including myself are stilling working on paying our debts from May.
Actually you would all be here for a while waiting for the next dry day... When it rains it pours & it's been pouring for the past month.

Not sure exactly who I would like to meet.... I've met quite a lot of you guys at the Expo last yr. & at Parkers BBQ the past 2yrs I'm so hyped about the SIMA symposium here next weekend & meeting even more crazy guys. hmm.... maybe some of those guys can help us get caught up.lol.... :dizzy:

Not sure if I will be able to make the EXPO or the GIE this yr... I'm gunna try tho. Hope I don't drown in someones back yard. I'm sure the ducks floating around would just love me..... lol

[Runner]

Simply put,.....I'd like to meet everyone. I only regret not meeting Eric in this world, but I know our day will come. I would consider it an honor and pleasure to meet each and everyone of you. I mean that sincerely. As far as meeting me, well, you can ask Tom (Grazzmazter), you're not missing much! LOL:D

[little green guy]

It'd be pretty cool to meet all the rest of the guys from Jersey I guess, there are alot of us here. Bobbygedd is a real charactor. Switchless too, considering we live in the same town.


Theres a few other guys too, like Stick 9, LGF, Snow and a bunch of the guys from plowsite

[Bluesteel]

If I came to visit with my stuff, some hotshot is going to show me how he can mow on a 35-degree slope, then I'd have to take the bus back home.

[paponte]

odin00, LGF, 65hoss, Envy, BHB, jimlewis, crazygator, Green Pastures, paponte, PAP321, johnhenry,and John Gamba are just a few I can think of for the moment...

Your just a hop skip and a jump away rodfather. :cool:

[work_it]

There's quite a few that come to mind. I think I would start out with Chuck Keough (founder of lawnsite), Sean Adams, GLAN (who always blows my mind with his knowledge in this industry, and has been a great help to me on many occasions), Bobby ('cause you're soooo funny), LGF, switchless, and on, and on.......

[Phishook]

I got the week off in Nov. for St.Loui. and noone want to meet me?:cry: :cry:

[HOMER]

I met Eric and real glad I did. Met some more of the old timers too......had fun and was really interesting seeing internet folks for the first time.

I'd like to meet some yankees so I can hear them talk.......love that..........maybe some from Joisy or New Yawk.

Destin sounds like a good meeting place.......90 minutes vs. 12 hours works for me.

[dougmartin2003]

pamela anderson and them tig ol bitties

[Expert Lawns]

what? no love my way?

[narly1_2000]

I would like to meet you, Bobbygedd

[John Gamba]

Expert lawn's
I said everybody?

[mower_babe]

Where would you start with a list???I would like to meet just about everyone. There are a few that come to mind...Glan, Elephant, Bobby, LGF, Johnny G, Green Grass...not too many people that I wouldnt want to meet. Maybe in St Louis!:blob1:

[Expert Lawns]

[lawnworker]

Mower Babe, what about me. I am not on your list,sniff,sniff.:(

[Gr grass n Hi tides]

Yep, love to meet mower babe and bobbygedd too. There are some others as well, like a bunch of the NC guys - NCSUlandscaper, Envy, Kirbyslawn. The list goes on.

[mower_babe]

Lawn worker, you know it. Our bond is soo special that I dont have to vocalize it. Can't you feel the love??

[Planet Landscaping]

TINA from tnt No way is she a hottie landscaper.
John gamba ??? 20 min from me, Gonna go pound a few cold ones While sitting on his EXMARks one of these days. John Where do you park your EXMARKed --- at night? I'm gonna meet ya for all that can't.:D :angel: :D

[Jusmowin]

Ive met and worked with Strawbridge Lawn, he is one heck of a nice guy and a very hard worker and on top of all that really knows his stuff! Maybe all the Virginia guys from here should try to meet at the next hort show over the winter, anyone up for that?

[Green in Idaho]

I would love to be witness to a meeting of FSM, LGF, bobby, and the one LGF is always bashing on for exaggerating. Not to be IN the meeting-- just to be able to see it! That would be funny!

Otherwise I would like to visit FSM's garage! Who knows what the hell is hiding in there!

[mower_babe]

Bobby- who would YOU like to meet?

[bayfish]

Natalie Wood....guess I missed my chance.

[Movinfr8]

ditto what Green In Idaho said, and I'd like to pick his brain a while too, with his accounting skils, maybe he could keep everybody's Uncle Sam from getting so much of what i sweat for...
Norm

[leadarrows]

I don't know the persons name. It's the person who gives you the check when you win the Lottery. :) :) :) Yeah that person thats who I want to meet.

[bobbygedd]

who would i like to meet? you know its you mowerbabe. other than that, i like everybody, dont want to pick and choose, may hurt peoples feelings. what id really like to see, is lgf and ultimate lawn in a steel cage match.
