    Bump on a forum just means someone posted with the sole intention of moving the thread back up to the top. How you make sure certain threads don't get "lost" Remind folks there is still outstanding issues in that thread.
    Wow Sage...you should write Forum Posting for Dummies

        I would have told him "its that nubby thing that you found after your last date that you need to scratch on your scrotum".

        HAHAHAHA.

        seriously though, im gonna knock this outta the park. probably not. but for whatever reason im feeling pretty confident in my snus taste testing ability.

          Been on forums for years now, primarily motorcycle forums. Never saw
          the term bump before, at least not without a ride involved.<sincere

          Your informed civility is appreciated Sage. <very sincere

          If you could indulge me one more time ... Is "newbie" a pejorative? <sarcasm
          I did check the "faq" whatever the heck that means. < more sarcasm

          oh, before I forget ......

          BUMP

          Bat :twisted:

          p.s. - To any fellow snus-ers new to this forum and following this thread:
          a poorly thought out joke I made earlier has earned me the eloquent
          ire of Premium Parrots. Previous posts would indicate a much different
          personality, one that is kind, considerate, and civil. They don't pick
          just make anybody a Moderator, and that is a very good thing.

          One other thing, using words like "vicariously" anywhere on any
          forum is probably a bad idea and should be avoided no matter
          how much you have been yearning to use it in sentence.
          I am burning my stupid "Word-A-Day" calendar as I type.

              "nubby" would actually be quite descriptive if my wife were to find me
              out on a date.

              Other choices would include terms most familiar to a Pathologist.

                How to make this fair

                It just occurred to me ... won't the people first in line have an unfair
                advantage over those coming last? What if some mailperson has a
                bad day and the last brave soul opens up a box of dust-stuffed
                portions? I could theoretically send ten envelopes off all at once but
                doesn't that kill the "pass" part?

                Or I could send two packages with the selections split 5 and 5 to
                #1 and #10 and passed in opposite directions.

                Sounds anal but I can see disappointed contestants taking their
                resounding defeat out on me. While the near universal cultural
                bias at flying mammals has given me a fairly thick skin, I have my limits.
                Do I really need to have a "Regular Rooster" or "Supreme Sparrow"
                running my ass down? Do YOU want to get on the wrong side of
                someone going by "High-Test Macaw"?

                  since youre not sending cans, i dont see why not use envelopes, shipping cost would be pretty low. i dont know if youre into going with the extra cost and time of making the 10 different envelopes, but i think thatd be the way to do it, rather than a pass. but again, its up to you.

                      As luck would have it, I have next week off so time is no big deal and you're right about envelopes being cheap. This isn't a traditional box pass so yeah
                      why not? Make the competition short and sweet. Or quick and brutal perhaps.

                      I just got my Northerner order in yesterday and should have a GetSnus order in tomorrow. I also have a "special order" coming in possibly next week so everything will be fresh.

                        Im in if there is a spot available.. Tried a pretty wide variety, may just surprise myself!


                        (side note: We still have a spot available in the 5.0 box pass i beleive)


                        I have a feeling i will be getting this much sooner than 5.0 :wink:

                          Oooh scary! Sounds like this eagle isn't the only one looking for a hug.

                              is it just me, but why would you bump something that's in an area of snuson with only 4 or 5 topics?
