Official Count of F.O.S. Members for Mr. Buzzsaw FINAL CUT

Ok guys as you might have read by now Richie the man himself has asked me to compile a numbered list of the entire F.O.S.   This is what I have so far and I will go through the first post trigger started and bring it all up to date here.  Remember no posers allowed I have a feeling this is going to be huge.  Only the true, most loyal F.O.S. members should apply.  Sorry no "hey I have one buzzsaw can I be in", we just can't do that for this annoucement.  So either post in here to let me know I need to add you or PM me with your credentials and I will update as often as possible.

***This is the final cut list as of 7/22/05  Approx. 4:42 pm eastern time.  I am not updating or making any further changes.  I am posting this I had said earlier I was sending it to Mr. Buzzsaw via PM but decided to make it public.  I received triggermans and lane1bowlers final cuts and went through them and checked profiles and join dates and made my final decisions.  

If your left out I am sorry not everyone could be added to this list.  We did our best and this proved more difficult than we had intended it to be.  Ultimately the final decison was mine I did create the actual F.O.S.  Just remeber this is a list for Richie and was not just a sign up form for the F.O.S.

Please keep in mind just because your not on the list doesn't mean your not part of the FOS.  Add it to your signature, Belive in the FOS, believe in the power of Lane#1, believe in it all and trust in our wisdom and together we will become stronger than ever!

I'm not FOS, however...I think that if you throw more Saws than any other ball, then you're a member.......

OK guys we are really going to have to be picky here, we meaning me and Lane1bowler and probably triggerman are going to do this the right way to the best of our ability.  Ultimately it is my final decision as I did found the FOS.  I am not trying to piss anyone off if your left out but I also wanna do this right for Richie.  We all know as trigger has pointed out already how people come from everywhere claiming to be part of something when they really haven't been.  I am not accusing anyone and I am not singling anyone out,  I will try and be as fair as possible about this whole thing.

Its not all about just using 100% buzzsaws or anything like that because I am sure there is only a select few of us that do that,  Its just about a love for the equipment, the company, and the sport.  Doesn't matter if you have 30 saws or 1.  There is a difference between buzzsaw users and F.O.S. members I hope everyone can understand what I mean there.  

Also I will try and update/fix this list all morning but I will probably be out of commission after lunch today and all weekend.

  Gotta question: What about Sawbones? He has discussed Lane #1 with me many
times, in fact, it was his idea I try the XXXL recently. He often responds
with try Lane #1 balls.

Just wondering, I'd hate to forget him if'n he is an FOS'er.

Ciao...

I would understand if my name was taken off that list. I will admit I do not post much at all. That being said, that does not mean I am not always reading in the Lane 1 forum and what not. I just don't have the knowledge some others have so I don't post.

I have been throwing them since they started way back with the black saw (it pays to have the lane 1 "shop" right in your bowling alley!) I have met Richie and Chuck and some others. I am talking to Doug about saws all the time. Do I feel like I am part of the FOS? Absolutely. Because of the above mentioned.

But like I said, I know where you guys are coming from and it makes sense.

Although...I would hate to have to Force Choke all of you...

Just so everyone knows, not that it will matter or not. To me since I am new to the F.O.S. it doesn't matter if I am included in this announcement. I am on the list and I am sure the powers to be will determine one way or the other whether I will be included or not.

Either decision is okay by me. I post as I feel I am qualifed to do so. I contribute on the same criteria. If I am qualifed to do so... I do. I bowl so therfore I am a bowler. I study the game from all aspects. I practice... And yes sometimes I SUCK. I love the game. I am loving my SAW. And not gonna put it down until it wears out or I wear out whichever comes first.

I'm not gonna feel dejected, I'm not gonna be upset. Come what may. My SAW and I are gonna have a great relationship together on the lanes. Enjoy... And once again thanks for listening.

Still here for a tad bit longer.  Sure you have stickers at work but do you all have one on the windshield of your car as I do.  Courtesy of beans by the way thanks again.

Oh and I am probably out after this post.  I am really gonna start attacking this thing and really sorting through it monday morning.  So in the mean time pm me or trigger or lane1bowler if you think your qualified.  If you haven't added FOS to your signature prior to the last couple days then your probably not part of the true fellowship just a thought. However there are exceptions to every rule of course.  

FOS members keep this near the top also so everyone who needs to see it can see it.  I appreciate it.

TM,

I am sure you will understand this first hand; I am as much a Lane 1 family member as I have always been a Red Sox fan.  I see you loyalty to this company compared to being a Cubs fan, and having waited 40 years as a Sox fan, I can appreciate your standing.  Thanks for quoting me on what a fan is, and I think most here will understand when youguys make the list.  

Personally, unless the company goes under (like that would ever happen), I will not own any other ball than I Buzzsaw, much less even use one.  I would have to be in another city, with no equipment, and be challenged, and still I would have to think about it.  It would feel like cheating on your wife or girlfriend, but I now Richie and Chuck would understand, if a challenge was issued or you were requested to fill a spot in a tourney that you were unprepared for, but was offered somthing that fit you to throw, if one did for that reason.

I consider it a privilege to be F.O.S, and to have met folks like Richie and his wife Sam, Chuck, and some of the staff, and last BUT certaintly not least, my favorite Saw driller, Doug Sterner.  All the stuff I have ever thrown before LAne 1 (that is since my first original Columbia Yellow Dot in 1983) is but a blurr to me, and the only stuff to fill my memories now, till I leave this earth, will be Buzzsaw made.  

I would gladly bowl with others who roll other products, but as for me and my bag, give me Buzzsaws or give me a Pchee2 142 average.  Now you really have had to be around awhile to relate to that last comment.

You want to talk loyalty, I remember when I threw Storm, just before becoming a born again Saw head, that I purchased 2 Storm shirts.  After becoming a Sawhead, I took a seem ripper, and pulled out all the storm stiching, and had an embroidery shop put Lane 1 stuff on the shirts, in my design.  It took me 5 hrs per shirt to remove the stiching, so as to preserve the shirt material.  I also have the only lane 1 6 ball roller (customized).  

I am sure that there are others that may surpass me, but if you tok an EKG of my heart, the sound would be like that of a buzzsaw, straight out of the Lane 1 web site.

That would be interesting; by-laws and regulations, like the Boy Scouts or other quality and respected organizations.  I guess that would be in order for the F.O.S. to be formal.  We could elect officers like in a bowling league.  Mr. Buzzsaw could be President; and I would offer my nomination for group. Chaplin

I would like to see who would get what nominations and who would get the election to the offices appointed.  Let's come up with what offices would be necessary for the BR Chapter of the F.O.S.  This ought to keep this at the top of the forum for JPRL1, TM, and others.

Heheh... thought I was the only one with a decal in the rear window of my vehicle.  Glad to see the true fellow FOS members are just as fruity as I am.  I would feel as guilty buying another company's stuff as I would cheating on my wife!  I told that to my proshop guy the other day when he was trying to sell me a U-Turn.  He thinks I am crazy, and he's right!

The only non-Lane#1 stuff I have is stuff I had before I tried my first Buzzsaw.  The rest is history.

Oh yeah almost forgot- I have the Skull Flame shirt from a while back that someone mentioned earlier.  I wore it in this year's State Tournament and got plenty of attention.

I've been using Buzzsaws since I bought the Pink and the Teal Pro probably about 1999 eventually ending up with my current total of 20.  Some I hated and some I liked.  When King started up his Lane#1 Clique back in 2003, I did not join (although I thought I did).  

After reading some of the replies here about membership qualifications, I have reconsidered and decided that although I will continue to use my Saws and promote them when I can and in my own way, as I will with Visionary and any other company whose products I like, I cannot allow myself to be associated with this group.  Please remove my name from the list - I will eventually learn what Richie has to say from this forum later.  Thanks.

JPRLane1 and TM,

Sent you a PM; pretty important, secret squirrel stuff (you would have to be my age to get the secret squirrel joke).
