Look close. It still has the part # stickers for the instructions.

mrs laphroiag wanted me to remove them as I put all the parts together but wasn't I doing enough dealing with all those pieces and parts. Wasn't until the 5th chair that I had the assembly pattern down, by then there was only one chair left. Whoopee.

It takes a village, but someone has to lead the village. Thanks Chip for

That's a lot of bints. Good job. **
TomTurkey • 06/19/26 05:38 PM ET
Are these funds used for specific purposes, or at the discretion of Coach
Hokie PE • 06/19/26 05:27 PM ET
They are generally at Pete’s discretion.
VTChip • 06/19/26 05:34 PM ET
$85K?
TomTurkey • 06/19/26 05:58 PM ET
Makes a person feel good being even a small part of that.
laphroaig • 06/19/26 05:24 PM ET
Total team effort - just like our ladies on the field ❤️**

I learned early in my life that people take a greater interest in anything
Hokie-2x • 06/21/26 09:04 AM ET
FWIW - My donation was $251**
laphroaig • 06/21/26 05:54 PM ET
Yes, but you contribute so much more to the program.

I haven't the patience to do those assemblies. Mrs. H2X does all of them.**
Hokie-2x • 06/22/26 07:42 AM ET
The chairs were just tedious but the back and the seat came assembled.
laphroaig • 06/22/26 07:48 AM ET
Oops, that was a typo. I meant $351**
Hokie-2x • 06/22/26 07:13 AM ET
Yeah I double checked. Mine was $352.**
laphroaig • 06/22/26 07:42 AM ET
Shoot, my bints cost me that much. Liberal interpretation.**
TomTurkey • 06/21/26 06:16 PM ET
You could write a small book - In(t)side the Importance of Bints!**

Giving H2x a hard time. 2025 he pledged $2/dinger, I pledged $2.01/dinger**

Post bombed your joke**

I just found out my best friend from my Hokies days, 69-71 sent you $300
Hokie-2x • 06/20/26 07:33 AM ET
We'll save him a seat!**
laphroaig • 06/20/26 12:21 PM ET
Haven't seen him in about 40 years. He's the one that got me placed on

Groucho Marx had it right:
saret • 06/20/26 01:10 PM ET
Groucho was sooooo much smarter than Karl. And it's not even close.**
laphroaig • 06/20/26 01:22 PM ET
Always knew it was somebody else's fault. :-)**
laphroaig • 06/20/26 01:03 PM ET
That’s pretty good for an amateur fund raiser! 😁
RJHokie • 06/19/26 04:43 PM ET
Thanks. Here’s the ironic part, IMHO
VTChip • 06/19/26 05:43 PM ET
Mr. Chip, your conversation with the status quo "person" is REASON #1
ancient alien 2018 • 06/19/26 10:25 PM ET
We continue to see the fruits in pro ball and, especially, in coaching.**
TomTurkey • 06/19/26 05:56 PM ET
I think it would be funny........

Marcus moved on several years ago. Last I heard he was at tOSU.**
saret • 06/19/26 06:09 PM ET
That has to be a cushy job. **
laphroaig • 06/20/26 01:49 PM ET
Don’t believe that guy is still there.
RJHokie • 06/19/26 06:08 PM ET
How appropriate.......

Back in the day, I invited Wurthman, Everett, Marcus and a couple of
saret • 06/19/26 07:32 PM ET
We certainly gave them an audience with an opportunity but we didn't fit
laphroaig • 06/20/26 12:25 PM ET
Yep! And they even ignored @VTChip .**
saret • 06/20/26 01:11 PM ET
That was ignorant to ignore him. **
laphroaig • 06/20/26 01:27 PM ET
Well, that pretty much describes the Hokie Club.**
saret • 06/20/26 01:28 PM ET
Rename them I H C - Ignorant Hokie Club?**
laphroaig • 06/20/26 01:37 PM ET
Possibly. I've been calling them moribund.**
saret • 06/20/26 01:46 PM ET
I believe they receive an electronic receipt/thank you response
