A few months ago I asked if anybody knew if Bear ever made cufflinks. Upon hearing that I was a cufflink wearer Bearkeeper (Mike Shaw) said he had a special pair of cufflinks he would give to me at BBTC. I was convinced that these cufflinks would involve some "minty" deer droppings. I tuely hoped that Mike would just forget about it.
Well, the first day of BBTC Mike tells me has has something very special for me. "O crap, here we go" I think to myself.

He hands me a box that looks like this.

 

I open the box very timidly expecting something to jump out of it. I see this.

 

I am blown away. My very own pair of Bear cufflinks. True friends are awesome.

I was going to post these pics awhile ago, but I wanted a picture of me wearing them. Today is actually the first day since BBTC that I had to wear a suit to work so its the first time I had a chance to take a picture.

 

 

Thanks Mike. They immediately became my very favorite set of cufflinks that I own. I appreciate ya bud.

Very cool cufflinks from a very cool friend!      

Great story.  Just goes to show how big the hearts are of the members here.

Very cool! TradGanger's are the best.    

Those look sharp Bill!

Dapper!

That is way too cool.

Very nice indeed!!!!

  Great people here for sure!

Awesome!!

very nice indeed.

Wow! Seeing those things ALMOST makes me regret giving away several dozen ties and formal attire when I retired in 2007! That is a very thoughtful friend.

Now by golly I barely care if my socks match. (My wife will report I didn't much care even before I retired.)

My wife kept one tie.  Hmmm? I wonder what she has planned for that thing? I'm thinking I have too much life insurance?

Man, That's Good Stuff Bill! Mike is one of the Good Guys...

Now partner, that is cool. Way to go Mike.

Those cufflinks are looking real sharp bud  

Good friends are great, nice cufflinks. Use to wear them a lot in my younger days. Looking good
