now that I think of it, I'm pretty sure they had several death chats here before these last 2, for getting ready for a Dog-bowl, for friday nights, I forgot about them!

and yes, they are threads to gab away, get your post count up, and get to know your fellow members.

boss Dan once gave away "Challenge Coins" for free to any JYD, so that's why we had a "rush" to be JYDs at one time and filled up these threads!

Challenge Coin? Was that a SYK blade offering?

Look at bld522s' avatar, and you'll see one of the coins that WhichDawg is referring to. They were literal coins, with your JYD number on it.

Awesome <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> . I hope to make JYD this year sometime. I wonder if those coins will be offered up again. Maybe Renee can answer that one!

no it was a special coin;



and we each got our JYD number on it!

I won't say no, and I won't say yes. You never know things with the boss!

here's the story/history of "Challenge Coins" http://www.allaboutchallengecoins.com/

if we meet another SY dawg in person either can "Challenge" the other to produce his/her coin, if they don't have it, the one without or the one challenged who produces it owes the other a drink!

I owe Stansbrew a drink, last year at blade west he challenged me and I forgot mine! (I had just taken it out of my wallet the day before! dohh)

now I have it on a leather necklace! (made by Rainwalker)

now since newer JYD's don't have coins, they weren't available to them, and they get challenged! (maybe that could be your argument for getting more! how can you produce it?!)

now if you challenge the Boss and he doesn't have his coin on him, he said he would give the challenger a "KNIFE!" (his words) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

hahah, that's cool, you lucky dogs. I'd definitely get a challenge coin if I could get my soon-to-be JYD number (whatever it may be).

I owe tedwca a drink, he presented his to me and I had nothing to show back in return, maybe next time I'll catch him when his guard is down.

now the Boss drinks JWB (JohnnyWalkerBlue) and if he has his coin when you challenge him, at 200+ dollars a bottle, that is a 30-50 usd pop/shot!

I challenged the Big Dog at blade and won! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
