Rumor has it that.....Mike is opening a new "JOINT" called "The Mango Bling". Closer to Washington DC so the liars can plan their attacks and light up the world.
As for wings...I was only aware that angels had wings until I met you sphinctor people.
JDUB:
You will need this belt buckle for your costume to properly present your Led lights at the bling thing show

What's the lates on the LED replacment bulbs? Where did you get them? I'm all over the LED thingy!!!
Info, info, info
Steve; Saw your post on LED question: I had already ask the Master (Jerry Winchester) where to get 'um ---following is his response: Hope this helps:
http://www.superbrightleds.com/tail-brake-turn.html
Just ordered them online and the box showed up in a couple of days. One note, if you have 67 bulbs, don’t order the LED version and just order 1157’s in their place. I think this is only the tail lights. The others will be bigger and brighter, but fit the same fixture. I also ordered the color to correspond with the lens color.
JW He's vacating with his family in the bus
Several positive comments on the LED lights on this trip. However, I don't think any of the commentators had all their teeth. You'd think I was in Tennessee....
Now I need to change out the Hummer tail lights for LEDs so they all match. We wired the H3 with an extra bulb socket, so it runs just like a trailer, so it will be a snap.
Saw one H3-45 on the trip thru the Rocky Mountain National Park today and he was swedged into a tiny space alongside a river of some sort. I am happy with my coach outside of the park.
But I have picked up some new bling ideas whilst traversing the interstate system. There are some bling nomads out there.
Wasn't it Jon of Knoxville who said, "Give me your poor, your tired, your bling less yearning to be seen"?
Speaking of Jon, we did see one Liberty headed east on I-70. Rae was driving and spotted it about half a mile off. She said, I think that's a Prevost and I replied, not only that it is a Liberty to boot; you could see the chingalalies hanging off of it for miles. :eek:
I was just about to order the LED bulbs and decided to re-read this thread. Do I want the 1156 replacment bulb or 1157? I'm a little confused after reading what was posted from Jerry W.
Appreciate the help.
Steve
Steve,
Be very careful when soliciting advice from the "bling" crowd.
Before you know it they will have you all decked out with LEDs everywhere. Rumor has it these guys spent more than the cost of a tank of fuel just to have fancy LED side marker lights and nobody noticed.:rolleyes:
And the problem with that is?
Oh, No!!!!!!!!
Is Steve becoming one of THEM??? Did he succumb to the wiles of JDUB and Mango and go over to the light side (like a moth to flame) in an attempt to win the "bling" award???
Steve,
Welcome to the Bling Side!
First Steve wanted to be a Cowboy and now he wants Bling.
I just have to wonder if he will attend Santa Fe as a Bling Cowboy?
Well here you have it folks....
POG has matured as a group. Cliques are forming, and the LED snobs will not talk to the incandescent lackeys.
Note to Webmaster: As this trend unfolds you will be able to sell advertising to folks at Camping World and JC Whitney so they can advertise Chinese style awning lanterns, cheap chrome plated exhaust tips, LED lights, and mud flap decorations. Can neon license plate frames be far behind?
Jon: You did it to me again.
I was going to lead with the neon plate frames.
Now, back to the drawing board.
Thanks, Steve. Now the Anals will leave me alone for a while. Dig in deep, cuz they're coming after you, big time.
I was thinking about doing something non-electrical, anyone remember the round oil-fired smudge pots they used for warning of highway construction? They could be diesel fired and be quite different.
Jon would remember, due to his age.
Like the old saying: "I'm not sure I'd want to be in any club that would have someone like me as a member"
What makes you think we want you as a member?
Well I guess if Jerry, Mango and Lew could join from that point on anybody joining is likely to raise the quality level of members.
Steve, if you are a pilot, post that because Lew likes aviation stuff.
I have nothing else to do but answer you because you really know how pissed I get about aeroplanes.
I don't believe Steve is or was a pilot, but his heart was into sailing the oceans blue for many years. He had to give it up because the price of water ended up costing more than fuel oil.:D
Nope. Not a pilot. I already have two hobbies I can't afford so not much sense adding another.
Still sailing a lot but on the best kind of boat...one that belongs to someone else!
To get back to the original thread, I ordered a set of LED's for my tow car to see what they look like through the standard lenses. If they give the look I want then I'll go with them for the coach, otherwise I'll go with the new rear kit.
Ouch!
We're think about going the Faux Bling thing. That is, to convert the coach to Plain a la the Amish look. I already have the hat and looking for 315 Michelin wooden wheels.
This is going to take some work.
What's going on with the bling contest? Ever since Roger threw his hat in the ring the noise level has dropped to the non-existant level.
Are the bling boys trying to sneak away quietly or are they planning for some major surprise like maybe a windshield graphic that says "no fear" or something equally blinging?
Whatever happened to the bragging, the threats, the claims the cooker was already won? Inquiring minds want to know.
BTW: I think in addition to having the 85 year old chick doing the judging, I think there needs to be some point system established. I think a color coordinated engine, with matching transmission should get more points than store bought LED lights.
Crap Jon, I can barely keep my coach clean much less think about bling ;)
But I have seen some trucker / white trash chic stuff that I will have to include. I don't want to give away any competitive edge I may get on the Libertys.
To win with an 85 yr old woman judging, there might have to be some velvet Elvis action of some such thing. I don't know how low I am willing to stoop, but with Roger and Mike as my conscience, I can't go too far :eek:
Can you guys feel the snake Jon feeling you out. He is chuckling in his pit as he puts the underside bling. He's trying to steal by making it look like he's just borrowing what is going on. Mum is the word to Jon. Don't tell him anything unless it's a down right lie. Mendacity Jon, mendacity.
Jon , JW, et al:
I am on a mission- World Wide Search for bling- I have my all seeing capable staff focused in on the project:
http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g3...beach06015.jpg
watch out I have got the best eyes in the business on the job
Roger that
Jon wants to hire the same French judges that handled figure skating at the Olympics. Best Judges money can buy.
We may have to setup a Bling Aliance (a la Survivor) to beat Jon.
Mike
If anyone wants to do the research (yech), they will find that the first person on this board to use the word, "Bling," was Jon. According to POG rules, (what?) he owns it.
I am not intimidated by the Liberty people. They think they have built-in bling, OEM, but glitz ain't bling.
Apparently Lew is fairly well pluggged into the intelligence community. Despite the fact the garage doors have been kept down and locked he seems to be fully aware of my freshly painted slack adjusters and polished copper radiator fins.
My Liberty is clearly at the top of the bling pile (with the possible exception of Roger's who has polished the fins on his bus air evaporator fan) so I am working feverishly in the pit with my paint brushes, buffing wheels and feather duster. My question is this: Does anybody know where I can get a 45 foot by 8.5 foot mirror so the 85 year old judge will not have to step away from her polished aluminum walker and get down on her hands and knees to see true bling.
OK bling weenee's, here is your 85 year old judge.:eek:
http://www.kfki.hu/~arthp/detail/m/m...2/ugly_duc.jpg
Roger and Jon, are you still with me on the dark side or are you wavering?:cool:
Yea Jon,
You can borrow Roger's mirror.
MM
Bling backwards is gnilb (pronounced JDUB)
I don't know Mike, looks like Roger has some snapperheads helping on his bling quest.
I'm getting concerned here.
There is a strong sensation that there are some among us define bling as the stuff you find on trucks owned by independents and loaded with chrome and lights. (and mortgaged of course)
There are others among us who define bling as a quality level or attention to detail. You all know who you are.
We now find ourselves in the middle of a contest with the preliminaries already in progress. I think I read a comment from JPJ that suggested the contestants will have to sell the crowd on their bling by describing why they should win.
I can see this is going to end up with countless debates and lots of trash talking. Someone without a dog in this fight needs to be prepared to step forward and create some definitions and ground rules otherwise there will be a lot of blood and tears.
From now on I want the members of this august forum to cease calling me Mr. Anal, and refer to me by my real title....BLING KING!
What has been suggested might work in some kind of organized, hierarchically-based or defined, 'organization,' however, this is POG.
The guy that brings it up owns it.
Jon was the first person to mention Bling on this board, so he owns it.
However, since he seems to have some kind of an interest in the vaunted Stainless Steel Cooker (and all the abundant coinciding intangible rewards therefrom), he obviously is not a neutral party.
I have previously withdrawn myself as a judge due to complaints that I was a previous Liberty owner, and therefore unable to be objective in my judging. As a Vogue owner now (much better than a Liberty anyway), I must continue to recuse myself from judging. I cannot confirm nor deny any Bling-age from the undisclosed location from which I am writing this post.
It is not wholly possible to describe Bling. Kind of like Great Art, you know it when you see it.
We then return to the original owner of this idea, Dr. Burger King. (Did I get that right?). Anyway, the subjective influences of art will dominate here, since I talked Parliament out of the cooker in the first place.
Therefore, the only and ultimate test will be an 80+-year old woman stating, "Wow, nice bus."
----------------------------------------------------------------------
As noted previously, guys who argue about the rules before a fight usually get sucker-punched by someone with a plan.
Who is that person?
Burger King? What kinda king is that? thats cruel.
Hey I am bringing my own Judge - Any questions:?
http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g3...stol/judge.jpg
Hey Roger old buddy,
Just ignore the Burger King remark. I can see the name calling and trash talking is going to ramp up as SF nears and that kind of conduct is indicative of fear.
As far as I'm concerned the rest of the folks can do what they want, but to me their efforts will be akin to putting nail polish on a pig. I think when this comes down to the final vote it will be you against me, so maybe you can consider throwing it my way if I relieve you of the responsibility of giving me that M3 BMW. Deal, or no deal?
Jon: Your offer is tempting, but they made more than one M3, and there may be only one 2006 Bling Cooker, so we must negotiate further and harder to accomplish this rigging. Besides Micki has been searching the seven seas for Bling:
http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g3...beach06007.jpg e
We have based our search in Camp Mytrle Beach at this time - scheduled to move out in the a.m.
http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g3...beach06010.jpg
Roger that
Lots chest-pounding and crowing going on here. Our "secret weapon" will be descending upon Santa Fe shortly. Then, the 85 year old judge will bestow the "bling crown" to us, Jim and Chris, and we will "graciously" accept IT and the "COOKER!" :D :D :D :D
TEE MINUS 77 DAYS and counting.
I'm reading these ramblings out of order after a week away (while the kids played), but CObus, you must be running scared otherwise you wouldn't be adding LED lights.
I'm pin striping my oil pans tomorrow.
I've heard that Jerry will be bringing his bike to POGII and wanted to add some LED bling. I thought he was talking about bringing a HOG to POG, but it turns out it was his pedal bike:
http://static.flickr.com/51/194287290_ac2cf2d291.jpg
Jon, We were ahead of everyone last year. We added the LED's last year after the paint was dry. The old lights needed to be changed anyways, so why not. We have considered extra stainless banding for the front and the rear of the coach, but there is a $$$$ issue between Prevost-Texas and the Stainless guy in Florida. So, we wait. That, too, we were to add last fall.
No, our "Bling-Buster" is safely locked away in the Toy-Box awaiting its trip to SFe.
Tee Minus 74 days and counting
All I can say is my 1400 mile test run has proven my bling.
It is not only invisible to the naked eye until I deem it appropriate for it to be seen, it is a multi-level bling package that can only be compared in its WOW factor to the grand finale of a fireworks display with each component of the total bling experience adding awe to the viewer.
You might as well leave yours in the toy box. The King of Bling is ready to claim his prize.
Winchester's bling is a tent that does not leak in the rain, and Mango's bling is a trio of melted wax Tiki candles. This is way too easy.
