Let me tell you about my friend Ruthie AKA small fish in big ocean of pin traders with her little guppy pins.

Ruthie is one of the nicest ladies on the planet. She a hottie and men everywhere want her. Although she says she’s shy, and just a guppy when it comes to pin trading. Well let me share a story with you all.

Let me take you wayyyyyyy back to somewhere around the Epcot even some 2000 years ago so it seems. We met Ruthie and we all fell in love with her, the men more than the women but that was expected.

Ruthie who claimed to be a guppy shy and new to this thing called pin trading was quietly doing her thing shy and timid making a trade her and there, but for my speed she was giving away too much for what she getting so we hung around and kept an eye on our new guppy friend…. Well guppy Ruthie was watching a pin trader trade with a younger pin trader and it was apparent that the older pin trader was giving that child a song and dance, well before we all got a chance to spring into action somebody mentioned to Ruthie what was going on… Well had she had a Super pin trader suit under her shirt she would have flow to the trader and preceded to give him what for and much to our surprise that’s what she did. After that she came back her eyes turn back to their original color, steam stopped coming out of her ears and she was sweet guppy Ruthie again. Talk about the HULK!!!!

We heard her says things like “OH NO! That’s not a fair trade” and “lets see what other pins you have” and “this is more than fair” or “What are you trying to do here DUDE!” Okay that last one was mine, but the rest were hers she sprung into action and adjusted the trade fairly. The pin trader had not a clue what just happened to him, and the child was happy with the ends results.

For you see, she may be shy and quiet, but let her see a friend or a child being taken advantage of, and guppy Ruthie turns into Super Fair PIN TRADER dum dum dum!!!

So you see I’m telling you all this because two Sundays ago we were to meet Ruthie at Scoops pin seminar, but I had an emergency with my of my techs and could not make it. Ruthie was there but from what I’m told disappeared in a puff of smoke leaving everyone wondering what happened.

Well Ruthie AKA Small fish in a big trading ocean. I wish you had stayed a bit longer for you see Scoop knew of your child saving heroics and was about to present you with something special.

To quote Scoop “where did she go? She was just here?” So last Sunday Scoop honored me with the task of announcing the following.

Ladies and Gentlemen Pin traders from around the world…. On behalf of Scoop Sanderson I would like to announce that Ruthie AKA small fish in her efforts to protect the youth and make sure all young pin traders are treated fairly, and for her spring into action turning from guppy to Doberman pincher on steroids when ever any of friends are attacked on the boards or in person Ruthie is here by awarded one of the highest honors know to pintrading… Yes Ruthie you Ms guppy have here by been awarded a Dancing 2000 pin from the millennium celebration congratulations Ruthie…

What’s that’s…. Please stand by… Oh sorry… Take two.

Yes Ruthie you Ms guppy has here by been awarded your very own Scoop pin congratulations Ruthie. This here by raising your title to Outer Rim inner circle guppy, but piranha when need be.

Help me in congratulating Ruthie as all of you that know her she is one of the nicest sweetest lady on the planet and a true friend, I just wish I was single so she and I could… Errr I mean pin trade yea that’s it.

Ruthie Scoop wanted to give you your pin in person, but ya kinda disappeared and he did not have a way to get a hold of you, so I suggest the most popular way to embarrass… err I mean get the word out.

Oh and by the way here is your pin…. We just don’t know whether to hold on to it and give it to you in September that way making you want it more, or taking a chance and shipping it to you. Your choice. Also you can have the either pin but only one. Again your choice.

First of all, Ruthie, I hope you're not disappointed about the substitution of the Scoop pin for the Millenimum Dancers pin.....I know I would be. That Millenium Dancers pin is very valuable. Did you know that there were only a few released, and then the mold was broken because Eisner thought the dancers looked gay? But then, <i>luckily</i> someone saved <i>just a few,</i> and maybe this is one of the last ones? Because I haven't seen them on eBay recently for $20 each.....:(

Secondly, I don't know anything about inner circles or outer circles....except the circles under my eyes....and when Ruthie visited me last weekend, she <i>wooshed</i> those away with a sweep of her magic pin bag. :D

Thirdly, she really is an amazing trader! Defender of all! While she was at my house last weekend, I tried to trade a pin with her, and the trade was in <i>her favor</i>. So she actually <i>hulked out</i> for a second and smacked herself silly! Wow! Then she returned to "normal" Ruthie (and I use that term loosely ;) ) and we finished the trade so it was fair.

And one more thing....

Congratulations, Ruthie!

You <i>Earned</i> that Pin all by Yourself!

Ed, I agree Ruthie does wear her "Super Trader, Defender of the small Fishes: outfit under her normal pin trading clothes. I have seen her in action, both at last years event and on the cruise.
She seems likek such a quiet person, but let someone try to pull something over on someone and she does turn into a loud one to set the wrongdoer on the path to right.
I am sure Ruthie left Scoop's talk early because the baby was telling her she had enough of those crazy pin people and she wanted to see Mickey.
And I also have seen her try to talk you out of a trade with her because it didn't seem fair to her as Robin said. She just doesn't understand that sometimes she has a pin that I want even if it is an LE120000000infinium and I am offering her an LE 2500. I want that pin, otherwise I wouldn't have asked for it. She is always trying to be fair and will not let anyone have the chance to think otherwise.
Ruthie, Congratulations on your "Scoop to Be" pin. I hope you chose that other one though, Marvin the Martian is hot. I was even thinking Ed would look great in that costume for the Sept. event. Hey, Ed, what do you think, you could talk the speedo off for a few days and wear those cute little green shorts like Marvin.

This is a real honor, and a real surprise!! Just the kind of surprise an "old hottie small fish" like me needs to make my day!! Heck, who am I kidding? Makes my week, my month, my year......aw, you get the idea!

Ed, is the best, and he's too kind--not all men everywhere want me.........just the married ones, the crazy ones, the unemployed ones--well, I'm sure you get that idea too!

I'm not sure I can think of a compelling reason I should be bestowed with such an honor, but I have always tried to return to the trading family the same pin karma that has been bestowed on me; I have received a wealth of riches in kindness and generosity and frienships, (2 of my blessings have posted above) that I can only hope to honor by being the kind of trader and pin ambassador that is deserving of the many "gifts" I have received from the many people I have met and am lucky enough to call my friends.

Thank you guys; your kind words mean everything to me, as do your friendships; would be lost without you all.

Can't wait until September!:bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce: :Pinkbounc :bounce:
 
Ruthie,

Although this isn't a Slinky Dog with No Butt pin, it is nonetheless pretty special. Of course what do I know, I have one of those dancing dudes pins everyone is making fun of. It is the only Cast Member pin I have and I was doing cartwheels at Splash Mountain when I got it. You are most deserving of this honor and it just goes to show how brilliant Scoop is for recognizing all that you do. And for the record, if I am ever married, crazy, and unemployed at the same time, I'll look you up and we can go out on a date. Trina has been trying to get me out of the house for years so this just might work. Besides, if we get caught I will just claim I was following what the voices in my head were telling me to do. Congratulations again, wear that Scoop pin proudly. Oh, and do you want to trade that Marvin the Martian pin in that picture?

Jeff
 
CONGRATULATIONS!!!

It is well deserved!!!

I remember Ruthie when she was taking fer first guppy steps at one of Vince's Pin Parties. She has grown up and left the guppy pond but she still remembers what it was like to be a guppy and tires to help them grow.

Can't wait for Sept.!!

Congrat Ruthie

And Jeff, You can find Judith at any pin cart, but it is an LE of 1 so not always there.
 
Thanks again guys for the all the "congrats"; you guys are the best, and just bring smiles to my face.:wave:
 
well, Ruthie and I started out as small fish together, alone on the boards during an event but I am proud of the way she has gone from a small fish to a medium size (star) fish but she has never forgotten what it is like to be the little guy. Thanks Ruthie for being a great pin friend and pin inspiration.



Congrats on becoming a scoopie! You deserve it! (and don't you forget it!)




ps. does this mean I need to slap myself around because I think you are sending me an unfair trade?
