I hesitate to jump out here this year since it looks like there are many who are joining in the cookie fun this time! However, I can't let my corporation down so here goes.....I will bake until I can bake no more for as many bidders who want a part of the corporate ladder. Last years bidders recieved 4 cookies each and I had both ovens humming. I will try to do as many, if not more this year!
:thumbsup:
Remember that this is for the kids and everyone will win!
Happy bidding....
Oh, and we will pay shipping.... :archer:
Ummm, If I'm first do I get to pick my position on the board? :bigsmyl:
I missed all the discussion of who/what/where, but it cost me $50 last year so I guess that's where we'll start.
(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d171/IronBull_/Smileys/naughty.gif) $100 Norther Dollars
Vance, are you trying to say that it will cost me $100 to reclaim my seat on the board or are you attempting a corporate takeover?
I think it is about time for a Corp. meeting???
(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d171/IronBull_/Smileys/rofl_bigger.gif) I guess I was a bit overly protective of our product. Biggie's got me a bit edgy. Yer position on the Board is secure. Just settin the bar a little higher for anyone thinking the Kookies might be up for grabs.
So, Mr. CEO, same rules apply to get things rolling?
It sounds like the finances are in good shape and MK, LLC is open for business. $50 buys you a share of stock in the company and 4 (Four!) of Miss Kim's delictible cookies.
Count me in!
In
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Yup, me too. In for fiddy.
As VP of Consumption, I think there needs to be some more testin' done here! Oops never mind, I think there are a few of these morsels headed to Bear Country in my Taxi with Whip & JC. They'll never make the border :readit:
I'm in for my personal Cookies...Doc
With the substantial increase in waist line from last years share. I'm back in for my position :D
on the board.
The VP of the HR department is in for the long haul. I need KOOKIES!!!
I'm in for fifty American dollars...
I'm reclaiming my position as the Prez. I'm in for some cookies.
Bull old buddy, me thinks you guys are in disarray!
The hostile takeover has begun! Bid is now $500
C'MON MK Llc!!! We only need 2 more shareholders to buy in & we've topped the Fat Man's bid!
:D :D :D
Hay BIGGIE.... (http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d171/IronBull_/Smileys/nodonut.gif)

Irish
Hormoan
Tippit
Robtattoo
Gregg Dudley
Whip
Iron Bull
bbassi
Let's see. 10 names, times Fifty American dollars each.
I come up with a total of $500 for MK, LLC (Not even counting Tim yet was that a bid or not?)
Those were all BEFORE the big man showed up. Looks to me like you're a little light in the wallet Biggie. :readit:
Git! :knothead:
I don't think so Whip-er snapper. You have to TOP my bid :-)
Rob"O"...Where's the rest of them lads from the MOTHER Country??...Ya know The Tender little African and that Mob???
Hang ten Dad, I'll go wake 'em up.....
Here y'are....
Forward this to as many people as you can....
I come to you as the International face (& Head of Legal Affairs) of Miss Kim (MK) Llc. We are an International Trade Federation, dedicated to the Wholesale Purchase & Global Distribution of MK 'Kookies' (TM)
For the unbelievably low sum of $50 (Fifty, U.S. Dollars) you will receive a share of FOUR (4) Kookies, baked freshly & delivered to your door.
You will also have the Peace of Mind in knowing that you have contributed to the welfare of the Children at St. Judes Hospital.
To take advantage of this ONCE IN A LIFETIME* offer, log onto Forum 4 of the St. Judes Auction site & pledge your measly $50 for a share in this up-and-coming, global conglomorate.
Thanks for listening.
Rob Peel, Legal Affairs MK Llc.
*'til next year, when I come begging again!

Dude, we are playing you so bad... we have a master plan that we are just waiting to unfold...we do have a master plan don't we guys?

No problem Biggie. As long as it doesn't entail hanging onto your pants.... :bigsmyl:
He's well known for losing his pants.
Actually Biggie, we did have 10 bidders before you threw down your messly $500 bid. But now that you have upped the ante to 6 bills, I'll concede you have it for the moment. Dick came in after you to bring us to $600, so I guess it's time to round up the reinforcements.
I'll be back...... :readit:
As ceo of r&d I'm in for 1 share
Compliance Officer reporting in! Put me down for a share (for now).
That makes $700 big ones Biggie :readit:
Oh, and Dick? As Chief Security Officer, you know the duties that job entails and the weapons that are at your disposal....
Use as needed to deter all threats. :readit:
You mean....time for the SECRET WEAPON!! :scared: :scared:
poor Biggie (http://www.smileycons.com/img/emotions/211.gif)
Soon, very soon. Let's just let him consider this a warning shot across the bow...
Ah you guys don't scare me!
Where would we be if we were scared when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
You guys may have a secret weapon, but I have the ultimate scheme in securing foundering companies like yours!
I hope I don't have to resort to....well....why don't you guys just concede?
Man, it's hard to bargain with a guy that doesn't wear pants! Obviously he is a man that will do whatever it takes to get the job done!
Chief Engineer reporting......We got the big man on the run; time to throw in another $50 :wavey: :wavey: :wavey: Bye Bye Biggie
Biggie took away my turkey hunt at PBS...I'm in for $50 :goldtooth:
Let's see, $50 from Tique plus $50 from Steve, makes another hunerd, add that to the 7 we already had....
MK, LLC for $800 is what I get! :clapper:

Left wondering where the Germans got hold of Mitsubishi Zeros? Japanese Biggie, Japanese.
It's kinda hard to be skeered of a buyout fom a guy who's not really sure he's fightin'! Microsoft may have a few tense days mind you.....
Looks like you guys got the big guy talking to his bank manager now! So lets keep him busy, I'm in for $50.00. :goldtooth:

Dude - that's a line from John Belushi in 1941.... And yes, I almost ruined another laptop with pressurized coffee out the nose on that one. Thanks for the laugh Biggie, too bad NO KOOKIES FOR YOU! (paraphrased of course) :readit:
ooopps, I meant Animal House, not 1941.Can't go back and edit either! :)
1941??? HARRY-WOOOOOD! :D :D

Great Walt! That makes for lots of Zeros! And they're not Japanese either!)
$1,000 for MK,LLC
UNCLE! i GIVE UP!
I pushed you guys to the $1000 mark. I had a bet with another tradganger that I could do it.
I win the bet........you guys get your measly 4 cookies and the KIDS GET A GRAND!!!
:clapper: :clapper: :clapper:
The rabbitman didn't even have to bring out the heavy weapons either.... :notworthy:
It's all on you darlin'
:thumbsup:
Biggie, maybe you should buy a share of MK,LLC - 4 cookies better than no cookies! We would love to have you on board, and I am sure we could make you VP of something!!
Smile Biggie!!! :bigsmyl:
something tells me this might be a faint, biggie don't usually give up that easily. :smileystooges:
Something tells me Rabbitman has magical powers and unleashed one of the weapons! :bigsmyl: :bigsmyl: :biglaugh:
No fair! Rabbitman edited my post???
What happened to your ethics committee?
Brent, shhhhhhhhhhhhhh..... ;)
Hey Bigster....Chairman of the Ethics committee spot is open....you want it??? Only a $50 donation to the corporation. (http://www.smileycons.com/img/emotions/200.gif)
Sorry to break in fellas, but I've got $50 burning a hole in my pocket.
I'm in for one share.
I'll see all you GA boys at Miss Kim's and JC's place next weekend.
You may now get bcak to picking on Mr. Hoffman. Sorry for the interruption.
:D
Ethics Committee? Hmmmm, don't think we have one of those yet. You interested in applying?
Miss Kim's cookies don't need ethics 'cause they're "sinfully delicious."
John V. ....now that you're part of the corporation, please feel free to pick on Mr. Hoffman also while our C.F.O. comes up with an official position for you.
Even though I was born a Yankee, I've lived in Gawgia long enough to know that you don't pick on Southern boys named "Biggie"!!
WHY!!
For the same reason you don't let Cletus's cousin "Skeeter" work on the Mercedes. There's just some things you shouldn't do.
Yea, I'm back, got a chance to buy into this last year, just can't see givin up my chair, Miss Kim get the oats ready!
Tim,
You must have been the oatmeal guy.... :D
When it comes time, you guys will have to refresh my memory about who likes what in their cookies! I had several special requests last year and am ready again. :campfire:
With John V and Timo adding to the corporation are we now at $1100?????? WOW is all I can say. Bless you all and the kids who are so deserving.
Damn Good Cookies!!!! Anyway you fix em. :wavey:
Here is the organizational list as I see it at the moment:
Miss Kim - Production Manager
Vance Brewer ( Iron Bull) - C.E.O. (2 shares)
Joe Lasch (Whip) - C.F.O.
Jeff Springer (Tippit) - V.P. - Consumption
Rob Peel (Robtattoo) - Head of Legal Affairs
Dick Easter (Rabbitman) - Chief Security Officer
Kevin Bahr - V.P. - Quantity Control Officer
Doug Campbell - Audit Manager
Walt Francis - VP - Weights and Measures
Dave Tice (Tique) - Chief Engineer
Brent Bassi (bbassi) - VP- Credit Administration
Ron Andrews (BigRon)- Kitchen Maintenance
Tim Roberts - Corporate Training
Gregg Dudley - VP-Leisure Activities
Andrew Reniff (Drewsbow) VP-Research/Development
Steve Tottingham (Curveman) - Compliance Officer
Mel Riley (Irish) - VP- Human Resources
Skyler Wilson - President
Brent McCormick (Hormoan) - Corporate Communications Officer
Steve Osminski (Steve O) - Design Engineer
Dave Stinson (Hunt It) - Corporate Hit Man
John Vernachio (Third Eye) - Biochemist
Hope I didn't miss anybody, but that does work out to $1,100 !!! Not bad for the first 48 hours! :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:
We're still holding a position open for you Biggie! :D
Com'n Biggie, we could find you a position under Corporate Wear Designer! :D :p :D
Rabbitman pulled one of me that deserves retribution. And my "buddy" Steve O, what a rabbit punch that was (no pun intended.....stay tuned.....
Come on Biggie, you know you want some.
$50 is all it takes! :readit:
:bigsmyl:
Oh, Biggie, you know I love you :p . Both causes are the best in the world.
But, I really NEVER expected you to raise a white flag...
Mmmmm, I didn't know we could request our cookie type...anything without peanut butter for me Miss Kim--thank you.
You would think that one small dose of the "SECRET WEAPON" would be enought for the Bigster....apparently not. Come on Biggie, take the office of "Chief Taster and Dress Code Chairman" and throw in your $50. I'll even buy you lunch at the next PBS in Nashville........or you can take your chances with a full assault of "SW". (http://www.smileycons.com/img/emotions/201.gif)
In the spirit of healthy competition, a few members have gotten together to form our own LLC.
Membership is limited to "how ever many we need to dethrone the stranglehold ( and resulting monopoly) MK LLC has on Ms. Kims cookies." Therefore:
We wish to enter 1K LLC as a registered bidder.
Minimum investment is...$1K
There will be an equal distribution of all attained assets at time of closing.
As Manager, I offer the 1st $1,000.
Again, only one of our secret members will post at a time, as we see fit. No need to let the other bidders see what they're up against.
That's mighty big of you Biggie, but I think MK LLC has a bid on the table of $1100, or am I misreading something here? :D
No...you're right, but read the whole post...our members will catch up $1,000 at a time. You guys better get recruiting.......
HOLD TIGHT Shareholders.....
He's dropped his DRAWERS again. He's just like some of them POLITICAL-TICONS out there don't know when there beaten.... (http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d171/IronBull_/Smileys/smileys-5.gif)
YA AIN"T GETIN NO KOOKIES (http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d171/IronBull_/Smileys/topicclosed.gif)
You know, I wanted some of those cookies last year. I'm in for 1 share. Lets roll Biggie.
I'm in for one share of 1K LLC that is.
There ya go boys...that's $2000 bid for 1K LLC .
Wish I could post a picture of a freight train rolling by on here!
CHOO-CHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Time for the big gun Dick!!!!! :scared: :scared:
Nimble little minks, isn't he? :banghead: :banghead:
He ain't seen nothin' yet! :readit:
We're going to have to get a little closer in pledges before we break out the big gun so we can save for a sure shot. Thumbs up to you Bigster....thought you had already rolled over and was playing dead...guess not. Course what else would you expect from a man who wears his huggies in the pool while playing with the animals. And watch what you post real close..with those large digits no telling what you might type. (http://www.smileycons.com/img/emotions/87.gif)
In as a "common shareholder" ($50) :wavey:
YAAWWWNNNNN ....this was fun for awhile but you guys are really behind now...I think I'll go fishing . I'll check back when ya'll get back in the game
A big thumbs up to sunny hill archer for stepping up (http://www.smileycons.com/img/emotions/88.gif)even if he doesn't realize his choice of partners is questionable....you don't really think Biggie's going to let you have any of those kookies do you??? It's not over till the fat lady sings....or in this case if the large one comes up with a couple more shareholders. (http://www.smileycons.com/img/emotions/122.gif) Let's go people, we can still win this thing.
First of all, to you Biggie, all I can say is......
:notworthy: :notworthy:
But like I said, this isn't quite over yet..
Everyone knows the rules of supply and demand, right?
MK,LLC is going to make another run at this one. Effective immediately, stock will be limited to a maximum of 30 Preferred Shares. Bidding will be on the open market, with the highest bids receiving shares.
When the auction ends, we will look at the top 30 bids that have been placed on behalf of MK, LLC will be counted. Whatever the total is will be the bid by MK, LLC
If we can sell 30 shares at an average price of $75 we can still bring home the cookies! If the average price per share ends up higher, so much the better for the kids!
I am changing my own bid to $100 for my one share.
So I right now we have 1 share at $100, and 22 shares @ $50 each, for a grand total of $1,200
Let's not give up on this one yet!
2 Shares here @ $100.00 each...Mr. Biggie (http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d171/IronBull_/Smileys/EMOAGtongueOut07HL7.gif)
I'll go $100 too, but if my wife finds out I coming to live with you Biggie.
Mr. Hoffman, sir...you got class brudda...miles of it. My wife's baking you cookies whether you win or not...and I'm pretty sure I can find a pack of javelina dry sausage in the freezer. Course, maybe this time you won't leave it out in the shop for them boys to scarf up before you can!
Can't edit...didn't mean to leave you out Michael...I'm sure we'll come up some goodies for Biggie's fellow business partner.
I can't ever outbid the big man on my own, but I will add to the power of the people... :knothead: bump me up to a hundy Joe :thumbsup:
Biggie, Smell that? It's cookies baking!!!!! :goldtooth:

$1,400 for MK, LLC Still a ways to go, but we're gaining!
Let's at least make em' squirm a little bit!
It's all right Biggie. They're just a bunch a yankees who don't know no better. Besides if they think they only need 12 more at 50 bucks a pop or even 6 at 100 bucks they are DELUSIONAL!!!!
Who are you calling a yankee? Bump me to $100 :sc :smileystooges:
Lookie here.."Bunny Bill Archer" consoling his friend. Tell me we ain't got em on the RUN.
Remember MK Brothers. "WE SHALL OVER COME" We have more PLEDGED DELIGATES than they do. :biglaugh:
Yea Y'all shall overcome your loss and shame and ask for me and Biggie for some cookies.
:bigsmyl:
Line??? What Line??? There ain't no stinkin' line when it comes to Kookies. By the way, when Biggie dropped out earlier in the thread, we bet some other tradgangers that we could poke him enough to re-enter the bidding and get him up to 2 grand......... (http://www.smileycons.com/img/emotions/113.gif)
You're still behind genius......
Ah hell. Bump me up to a hunnert.
I'll just have to shoot at cow Eland instead of bulls!
Editing Biggie's post? Dang, you fellers is dirty. Let's have a nice clean fight, ya hear? Marquess of Queensberry, if you please.... :saywhat:
So now...where was it...Biggie and Doc Sunny Hill at $2K and waiting for some body to pony up...
That certainly was an original comeback Bunnyboy.
OK......just to make sure....post editing is out of the playbook!!
Thanks for being a good sport Biggie!
If not, I'll make Biggie a MODERATOR, and you guys will be in SERIOUS trouble!!!!!!! :readit:
Make Biggie a Mod! That would be hilarious!!!
lets see, $2k/24 kookies = $83 and change per kookie.
Wholly Chocolate Chips Biggie! Hey, I got 3 kookies left in the freezer from last year in vacuum bags. I'll sell them to you for $75 a piece once this is all over. I need gas money to get to my bear hunt! :goldtooth:

Always drummin up business Robert. Michael
Brnet, It ain't always about the Benjamins. :biglaugh:
Brent I meant to say.
OK Whip, in for $100
MK,LLC Financil Report for May 30, 2008
Number of shareholders - 22
Shares Issued - 15 Common @ $50/share
8 Preferred @ 100/share
Total stock issued to date - $1,550
The cookies are still within reach! We have only 7 shares that are still unspoken for, and remember, only the top 30 bids are counted.
Brent, I'll buy those 3 cookies if you'll donate the money to St Judes......you can ride to the bear hunt with Uncle Barry.
Sunny Hill Archer.....we got 'em on the run!
2Doz Kookies for $2K? I don't think so....Miss Kim would likely bake enough at that level to keep Biggie fed for at least a couple of weeks and Michael in return business for who knows how long :clapper:
Here's the bad part....I'm type II diabetic, can't eat 'em. (i'll probably sneak one or two) Looks like Michael will get most of them!
Well, Mr.Biggie...looks like you've not only got Type II, but got some serious "heart trouble" too!
Yeah...seems ya got a big'un and a large soft spot for St. Jude's Kids! :notworthy:
Whip,
Move me up to "Preferred" :wavey:
Yeah, we're on the run all right. Running right up your backside if you don't watch out! :D We're just draftin' on ya' right now, but we'll be pulling around to pass before the finish line!
Thanks for upping the ante Bob! :thumbsup:
Biggie:
I want to take a moment from the Fray and Publicly apologize to you for my Editing of your post. I over stepped the boundaries as a Moderator. If I offend you or anyone else that was not my intention here at all. Thank you and all who are keeping this going. The Kids will be blessed form these efforts.
I find it very ironic that you and I both share the same medical fate Type 2. Must be some other driving force here.....What say you?
I'll take a preferred share!
You know it Bull......I look at my kids and now my Grandbaby and think "there but for the grace of God"
I thik it's great that we're having a good time doing it too!
Just do me a favor...drop the MR.
;)
No sense in riding coach , move me up to first class ($100.00) please Drew
That puts us at $1,750 by my count :bigsmyl:
Its time bump me up Joe :thumbsup: :campfire:
Vance, he know's you was just funnin, but it's a big feller to publicly de-clare...you know I love you brother.
And Biggie? Well, you'll meet no finer...Vance and him would get like two peas in a pod, diabetes or no, they're cut from the same sawblade I figgur. Maybe we need a high protein, low sugar alternative fer them....can you say "dry sausage"? :rolleyes:
You think them cookies er pricey, you couldn't touch the dry sausage fer all the tea in chi-nee...
Let's sweeten the pot then...last package of javelina dry sausage I have (least till I kill another and CK makes me some), split twixt the two highest bidders.....and if it's a corp, I'll chop it up real fine fer the shareholders :D
Whip,
Your optimism is genuinely refreshing.... However, reality should soon be setting in. If it hasn't already.
Michael
Mr. Michael...Take a real Deep Seat N cinch yer hat down REAL TIGHT.

Vance, We have the powder. We just want the game to go a little longer. This forum doesn't close til Wed. It would be a shame for all this fun to end today. :bigsmyl: :bigsmyl:
You guys are going to make history on this bid...
It's going to be in press releases let me tell ya!!!
HOLY COW!! I've not been keeping up with this thread, what a bunch of Incredible Folks!! I'm thinking there's a bunch of ya here cut from the same cloth, non better!!
Oh and ya better bump me up to a hunert too, think my TX dry sausage stash is bout gone ;)
Alright.....bump me another fifty, I'll go a hunert too!

You've been facein us on the second string, wait till I put the VARSITY in the Game (http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d171/IronBull_/Smileys/owned-1.gif) Yer TOAST
Wow, almost missed JC adding that javelina dry sausage; bump me up to $100 Joe. I think Sunny and Biggie better retreat and start licking their wounds; doesn't look like they're gonna be licking any of Miss Kim's cookies. :biglaugh:
Vance, where DO you get those whacky icons??
You guys are a hoot! When cookie auction becomes a spectator sport... I need to earn way more money. :notworthy:
So what are we up to now 20 on 2 ???? My accountant told me I need more Charitable Contributions this year. Post a number, whatever that might be. We will beat it. Don't snipe. Be men. :jumper:
Michael, thanks for monitoring these guys while I was in the swamp chasing pigs. Too hot for that game I tell ya. This "game" is much cooler and the skeeters don't get in my iced tea.
Are they catching up or still just ya-ya-ing?
I'm a little disapointed that they can't meet our challenge. Especially with ALL THOSE GUYS they've stacked up against us.
This is Awesome! You guys a a riot!
Where is our Prez. (http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d171/IronBull_/Smileys/bored.gif)

Vance, You don't have spell check do ya?
So, the "big boys" only bid in increments of $1,000 right? I guess that will put a cool $3,000 in the pot for the kids--good work gang :wavey:
Biggie--you and your crew should just put us in our place and make it an even $10,000 :thumbsup:
Steve's right - the next step for 1K, LLC is $3,000?
Even if they come again, it didn't take MK long to catch them on their last bid - let's keep it rolling! :readit: :clapper: :clapper:
So what actually is the winning bid on this one right now? It's getting a might confusing.
MK, LLC is at $2,100 :readit:
ATTENTION, MK,LLC Board Members!!!!! I just spent the day at the Cookie Factory with Miss Kim.

Insider trading going on??? Can't wait to see Biggie's response to this! :biglaugh:
Biggie's response better start with a 3...

There isn't anything wrong with that. Big companies do it all the time. Schmoozin with the suppliers is all part of the corporate world.

For what its worth, in my dedication to MK, LLC, (actually the kids), I posted payment for my share two days ago. Either way, they gotta win! Lets go boys!!!!!!!

:clapper: :clapper: :clapper:
Hmmmm don't know whether to bring in the big guns yet or just change the rules like ya'll did.
Oh well, we have two more days to decide....
Kim's already had to expand the workforce in anticipation of the product shortage and tight delivery schedule with this many share holders. Not only will I and the boys be working as raw materials handlers, Tomi Varnell, Cheapshot's wife, has volunteered to be a part of the assembly crew. Trust me guys, she's as qualified as Kim is for this position...she makes Iron Chef look like amatuers...though she seldom cooks anything with octopus etc. :p
That's OK, I'd like mine without octopus anyway ;)
Boy, I couldn't check this thread for a few days and look what you guys have gone and done!
Bump me up to the $100/share list!
Thanks.
Hey...where's Rabbitman???? Abandoned ship?
Just been sitting back planning strategy against your next move Bigster....that and I was gone most of the weekend. Beside, MK,LLC is in the frontrunner. Better get with painless and come up with another investor or get to know Mrs. Fields because that's the only way you'll be partaking in any kookies. (http://www.smileycons.com/img/emotions/148.gif)
Heck we aint even done yet and I already got payment from Bob Westfall, seems he's pretty confident in the outcome ;) thanks a bunch Bob!!!
Win, loose or draw, the kids get the money!!!!!
OK I got my knives.... Now it is time for some cookies. Stay tuned
June 1st Financial Report
MK, LLC is currently at $2,150
They may make another run at us, but let's make sure they know we were here!
There are still five shares of MK, LLC that are not spoken for. We need to recruit new stockholders. Put the hard sell on everyone you know! :help: There are lots of folks following this story that haven't taken the plunge. Come on in and join the best Cookie Corporation around! :goldtooth:
We need to keep the pressure on while we have the upper hand! :D
Be happy with them Darn ole Knifes and Just GIT!!
Them knives are pretty and all, but they're no match for what the Rabbitman is packin'... :readit:

payment received for one premium share from Steve Osminski, Thanks!!
I can't stand it. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
I'll take a share. :confused: BTW....What is the DOW today??
>>>---$50--->
The DOW was down 100.97 today. :readit:
Payment received from Gene Eakins, thanks!!
Sunny Hill, email or call me this morning, it's time to discuss strategy.......478-986-3944
Our strategy is to gather as much capital (for the kids!) as we can.
Today is the day everyone. If you have been waffling up to now, or have lost out on bids in the other auctions, now is the time to step up to the plate. Help put MK, LLC out of reach, and keep the cookies for our loyal shareholders! :notworthy:
Can we reach $3,000? :pray:
I'll bump my share to match Donald's $150. That puts us at $2,250 for MK, LLC!
I woke up extra hungry. Cookies sound awful good for some reason... :wavey:
1K LLC is accepting applicants as well and, we will be the winning team! Just like Hillary, you MK LLC guys don't know when you're beaten.
By the way Mr Banker, are you aware that an LLC cannot have a C.F.O or C.E.O.?
Those are reserved for C corporations and S corporations. I submit you guys are an illegal entity!!
Thanks Woody!
And Mr. Biggie, I don't know a thinkg about Georgia laws. Our LLC was registered under an obcure provision of Pennsylvania law passed to help the Hershey Chocolate factory increase chocholate chip production.
Have your lawyers contact our lawyers. ;) This thing will be tied up in court for years, and by then the cookies will be ours! :readit:

"Ours" - heck, they will be GONE!!!!! :bigsmyl:
The morning reports are in.
MK, LLC is bidding $2,350 with only 13 hours to go!
Submit your bids now! We can put this thing away!
Better get with it Whip-ersnapper...our hostile take-over bid will be made at 5pm today. Right in time for the evening news.
Don't count your cookies before they hatch....or something like that......
To facilitate Biggies complaints and to show that we are here to HELP the Kookie Party in what ever way we need. C.F.O. is Now DIG DADDY and C.E.O will be known as the BOSS...OK Biggie now were e-legal again. (http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d171/IronBull_/Smileys/magnifyingglass.gif)
Next their only gonna wanna count Florida's and Michigan's share holders as only owning 1/2 share.
I note in this mornings up-date that 1k is soliciting HELP......What on Earth could that be about. They also note that they are the best...That don't add up atall There's only 1 Kookie LLC........MK....LLC There's still time for you fellows to throw in with the winners.
(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d171/IronBull_/Smileys/FireworksPompoms5.gif)
Bigster had better learn to bake or get to be buddies with some girl scouts....that's the only way he's getting any kookies. (http://www.smileycons.com/img/emotions/142.gif)
Rabbitman....you have me worried. You've been away from here scheming haven't you?
Hmmmmmmmmmm.....I dunno. I think we can handle anything you can dream up.
:jumper:
Please Bare in mind that BUNNY Boy Only agreed not to edit any more posts....He still holds control of the POWDER MAGIZINE and can at times become very UNRULEY. (http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d171/IronBull_/Smileys/boom.gif)
Scheming??? I would never do anything like that Biggie, old buddy... (http://www.smileycons.com/img/emotions/201.gif)...but..... (http://www.smileycons.com/img/emotions/177.gif)
Biggie,
You have an email.
Jeff
Drum roll please...........
Biggie,
I'm in the 1K LLC. Your next post WILL start with a $3.
Iron Bull, I believe a corporate stockholder meeting might be in order. Good luck!
TA-DA! And it looks like you poor ol MK LLC boys are without the cookies once again. That's ok, keep trying.........it shows character!
Just remember this :banghead:
That's $3,000 for 1K LLC
I believe we still have the Popular Vote, and I know that there are several uncommitted Super Delegates.......I HOPE
Perhaps MK, LLC should accept a corporate takeover and pool there resources with 1K LLC and ensure a huge victory?
Git Boy.....Slap his Mouth....MK. L.L.C. anit't whooped yet (http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d171/IronBull_/Smileys/naughty.gif)
:notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:
OK boys and girls, now is not the time to panic. We've been here before, and overcame 1K's previous efforts.
We have two options as I see it. Exactly 7 hours remain until the fate of the cookies is decided.
Option 1 - Put the push on everyone to raise $700 more before the auction closes. A White Knight with deep pockets could ride in and put us over the top very easily.
Option 2 - Negotiate a merger with 1K, LLC. Pooling the resources of two powerful companies not only would ensure that eveyone receives their cookies, but wins for the kids as well.
Biggie, are you open to discussions? How about the rest of the MK, LLC stockholders?
WOW they must pay QA Managers better in IA than they did in MO ;)
Jeff you are certainly runnin with the Big Dogs now... :help: :confused: ;)
I dunno Whip. Your CEO sounds like the kind of guy who would rather fight than switch!
You guys could always tuck tail and go to another cookie thread somewhere......
:bigsmyl:
(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f311/vermonster13/fighting0061.gif)
There is no option for turning tail and running. MK, LLC stands for Miss Kim's, and we will have to stay with those. No time to go back to the shareholders with a whole new product. We're just going to have to ride this one out to the end. All we need is one or two White Knights to ride in and we are back in control.
I just got off the phone with Vance. He has a contractor working at his house today that just cut through his internet connection wires. :knothead: Did you send that guy out to his house???
You guys make my sides hurt. I've laughed more reading this thread than I have for some time.
Doug,
Nope, the pay ain't no better. The change jar(s) is gonna rattle loud after this.
I've been saving all year for St. Judes. I looked at all the awesome things to bid on and couldn't decide. All the lookin' made me hungry, so here I am.
If I had the power, I'd declare each bidder an angel of mercy. I'm proud to be in on this event.
Whip ol buddy...amazing what you can get a tradesman to do for the promise of a few cookies.
I ordered some of Cory Mattson's xtra famous coffee blend............for dunkin' ya see........
Is there an emoticon for lickin your lips???
It's probably my fault Whip. I sent Vance the pics of Biggie dressed as the Keibler Elf...to see if we wanted to post them or not as they're not suitable for children or the weak of heart. I'm guessing the contractor accidently saw them and cut the wire on purpose. Guess we're not going to be able to use them if they get that kind of reaction....on to plan B. (http://www.smileycons.com/img/emotions/109.gif)
Dunkin' Miss Kim's cookies in coffee?? :banghead:
As a non stock holding public... it looks like that merger could just save the price of oil, bring the dow up, and help the kids...
Y'all are some incredible men!
Maybe in 5 hrs that "merger" concept might become a bit more realistic...heck they're talkin on the news today that Obama and Clinton are talkin sharin a ticket with her the VP.
I'd hire me a taste tester if he goes that route... :)
So mergers of strange things are in the wind... What power that combo donation would have!
:readit: :thumbsup:
(http://www.smileycons.com/img/emotions/149.gif) Here's your emoticon, Bigster.
I think a merger is out of the question as there have been too many boasts made and too many "NOW GITS" thrown.
We are ready to make the hostile bid to takeover the top spot as cookie merchants. There was talk of waiting until 9:30 or so to really put the pressure on the MK members buut since everyone wants to see the kids get ALL the money, we will announce our takeover bid now so' ya'll have time to spend your money elsewhere on the auction.
The kids still get all the money and 1K LLC gets all the cookies,PERFECT!
Our takeover bid is...............
Thanks to Mike Lembke, one of my closest friends of all time.......
$4,000
:notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:
Biggie, words can't describe brother....
Your name fits...your heart is indeed. Hope we get to share a fire together....and Kim says you'll be well fed whenever you decide to come up this way.
Gentlemen, pay close attention, this is the stuff of which legends are made....
Ummmm, that was me on her login....but what I said still stands. :readit:
You all are incredible!!!!
WOW!!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
...and with 3.5 hrs left, the gauntlet is thrown.
My hat's off. Outstanding!!
When does Biggie season Start??? Soon I hope. ;) :notworthy:
Hat's off to Big ol' Mr H! :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:
Whoa there folks.....I woulda be out 5 pages ago if it weren't for my partners, Michael Langehans, jeff Redding and Mike Lembke.
Plus, don't forget all the MK LLC members who caused us to recruit to raise the funds AND it ain't over till the fat Rabbit sings...he may still have an ace up his sleeve.
Biggie, I have to admit you've done good. But as was said before....it ain't over yet. That White Knight with deep pockets sure would be nice right about now. :campfire:
Skyler Wilson, President
No, I believe you and your share holders have trumped us, Bigster. Thumbs up to your group and I must say it's been loads of fun trading barbs and insults with you guys.....and the kids turn out to be the real winners.....of course, next year you're in deep do do...and who you calling fat??? At least I can see my feet. :bigsmyl: and I'll still buy you lunch the next time I see you. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Is that a concession speech, Mrs. Clin...er, Bugs Bunny? :bigsmyl:
(http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f311/vermonster13/cookies.gif)
Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing is right! We kind of figured there was another $1K coming at the end, but two? Four thousand dollars for a batch of cookies! Outstanding! :notworthy: :notworthy:
Great job Biggie and the rest of your crew! The generousity you have demonstrated is inspiring! :notworthy:
:clapper: :clapper: :clapper: :clapper:
Ye Olde Fartes salute you!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yep, I was proud to be part of this one. Call it arrogance or just plain enjoyment, I had put my money in over three days ago. Okay guys, lets see what this can really generate. Cookies or not, leave it here for the kids.
Yes, leave it here is a great idea.
I think it's a great idea...mines already in.
MMMMMMMMMMMMM.......... KOOOKIES. :biglaugh: :biglaugh:
Of course ours will stay and I encourage everyone to do the same.....Skyler
Good on you and the 1K crew, Biggie! I'll let my $100 ride anyway.
Gregg :notworthy: :notworthy:
Ya'll can argue over legends later....but for now, history is certainly being made.
Never in my wildest dreams. :clapper: :clapper: :clapper: :clapper: :clapper: :clapper:
Biggie, check your cell's voicemail, don't have the home number. Call me when you can please...
JC,
His cell phone is in his pants pocket...which he doesn't have on.
:bigsmyl:
I don't care what 1K,LLC says, I'm going onto PayPal now to put in my measly $100 whether I get cookies or not.
MK,LLC FOREVER!!
MK,LLC well I guess we get the last shot...IT"S about The KIDS.....Not THE OWNERSHIP OF KOOKIES.
MK,LLC You guys are the BEST Thanks :clapper: :clapper:
MK,LLC let's give it all to the KIDS!!!!
Hey Vance ya wanna total this one up?
This is rough tabulation. If all MK,LLC pledges stand and are met. There is an additional $2350.00 going to the Kids :thumbsup:
Moved this to the PowWow....so you guys can play a little longer....and just in case a few missed this thread.
:thumbsup:
How cool is this? I hope EVERYONE honors their pledge, cookies or no cookies cause we all know, it never was about the cookies!
Thanks to Ms Kim for being the catalyst and allowing us to participate on her behalf to help the St Judes Kids!
:clapper:
I'm sure the cookies are wonderfull...but to be apart of making life better for a child and there family is priceless! May God bless each and every household represented by this auction!
:clapper: :clapper:
I'm good for my $100, but DANG biggie! Next year I'm going to have to go back to the minor leagues. I can't play with you big dogs anymore. Guess I shoulda studied harder in school and got a better job. :thumbsup:
My money was in already Monday...win or lose.
I figured for sure since I couldn't outbid Biggie on my own for stuff, I could with 25 other guys :eek: :eek: :banghead:
I am persistent though, one day...
I guess I chose the wrong side for cookies.LOL, But it was never about the cookies. My $150.00 still stands. Great job guys and gals. This was really a lot of fun and I am awed at how much we raised for St. Judes. This family is awesome. I salute you all. :thumbsup: :clapper: :clapper: :clapper: :clapper: :clapper: :clapper:
To Michael Langehans, Jeff Redding, Mike Lembkethe, and Biggie Hoffman, the 1K LLC, a job well done!!
:clapper: :clapper: :clapper:
To all the MK LLC stockholders, we won the bid last year, now we have some incentive and a complete year to plan and recruit new stockholders: MK LLC will be back to regain controlling interest next year!
Like the others, my stock contribution still stands.
I bet some of you guys are already plotting. :biglaugh:
My "kookie" money is already sent. The St Jude Kids are the winner! Next year, I would like a "kookie" or two! :D
Doug, my "check's in the mail" on the way to WBR.
Biggie, I'll give you a whole DOLLAR for one of them there KOOOO KEEEEES!!!! I'm always looking out for you brother. :bigsmyl:
Doug...Sending my check out today. And Biggie...you give Kevin a cookie before I get one and your free lunch is history. :goldtooth:
Free lunch!? Did someone say "Free lunch"??
I'll buy you a dessert, Big Man...if you ever have the misfortune of finding yourself stranded in Illinois. Save me a cookie, OH Wise Bunny Master! :notworthy:
Check sent in the morning mail.
I'm good for my pledge because it was for the kids. Of course I remember just how good those cookies where last year :D Savor in the glory Biggie, we are after your underwear next year :scared: :biglaugh:
Brent
Brent, Y'all can have his drawers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
mine stands :0) Well done 1k llc :0) :notworthy: :notworthy: :clapper: :clapper:
I just made out my check, and of course it includes my contribution on behalf of MK, LLC.
Thank you everyone who helped make this whole thing such a success!
Sent mine in yesterday; looking forward to next year. Thanks to everyone who participated in the auction; great job! :thumbsup:
:clapper: :clapper: :clapper: :clapper: :clapper: :clapper: :clapper:
Just figured out my St Judes tab...which included my contribution to Mk LLC. Thanks...Doc
:clapper: :clapper: :clapper: :clapper:
Wow. I ignored this thread thinking it was from last year....due to the many pages it contained. Hate that I missed the fun. I'm gonna send out a $100 check any way and pretend there has been a secondary offering. I know existing shareholders will not panic with thoughts of dilluted shares but will instead see the additional capital raised as stimulating a greater return on equity.
Thanks for the inspiration guys!
Julian
Julian,
We are glad to have YOU...we are going to have to plan a little more for next year now that we are dealing with a ruthless magnate :biglaugh:
Yeah...I noticed you've had your troubles with the big one. Well, "runny lil archer" is exploiting my fishing holes AND driving up the prices of my favorite knife makers. We've got work to do. :readit:
In all seriousness, though..... not enough good can be said for the job done here. :clapper:
Julian, that was good..... Think of it as increasing the value of your current investment. By the way, did you think of it :goldtooth: :goldtooth: :goldtooth: all by yourself???? The auction total is pretty cool. I am truly thankful to have been able to participate.I am also very thankful for my four healthy children.
Amen. Mailed my $1,000 Friday.
I take back all the ugly things I said about you guys. Well, at least the ones of you who've sent in your bids anyway!
:thumbsup:
OURS IS ON THE WAY TO Doug....great job Everyone....Skyler
Thanks Julian, that is very cool! :thumbsup: And to all the MK,LLC sharelholders who sent in there pledges as well. Although we didn't win the bid for the cookies, I'm proud to be associated with you people - you have class! And the best part is that the total for the kids just keeps on growing! :cool:
I believe there is a surprise out there for ALL the cookie magnates.....just heard from a little, well, BIG bird..... ;)
Gentlemen, Biggie has graciously agreed that everyone gets cookies. It may take some time for us to get them out but Kim has pledged to bake till she can bake no more (of course only if she can keep me out of the woods and boys off the baseball field so we can be the materials preparation crew). I'm sure with the help of Whip and Iron Bull we can rally and get all the addresses etc. for shipping. I'll be in contact with them to discuss the logistics.
Biggie, Sunny, and Mike Lembke...I need your addy's please sirs as you will get the first batch as well as the proffered culinary delight of javelina dry sausage.
:thumbsup: I know many of the MK shareholders have already paid, and I also know more is on the way (like mine).
I'll try to get started on gathering addresses. If you were an MK shareholder last year and your address hasn't changed, I still have it. For those that have moved or are new shareholders this year, if you could email me at lasch@gdinet.com or send me a PM that will make my job easier!
Thanks!!!!
Whip, can we get those boxes again????
JC.....don't forget about Jeff Redding. He was a MK 1K share holder!
It's on my list Miss Kim. I'll check them out tonight!
I don't remember how many we had last year - were there any left? I'll have to check to see what quantities are available. I think they came in cases of 25?
Wheeeeeeeee!!!!!! You mean we lost (kinda) & still get Kookies?!?! Miss Kim, I think I may love you :D :D :D
Hat firmly taken off to everyone involved & tipped grasciously to all in the Coots Kitchen of Destiny! God bless you all, y'all! :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:
No, that means you lost (REALLY) and still get cookies.
Aren't those Coots a hoot?
Whip....no boxes left. I think we only had three left and those were used when I was very tired and wrote the wrong name with the right address(or vise versa) :saywhat:
I know two things about the Coots. They can cook and they can raise kids. Not too much more that they need to aspire to.
Thanks for sharing the cookies, Big Man!
