I think that's a Sandhawk in the foreground. Does that make me a geek despite my "almost cool" score on the test?

Unfortunately I must confess I had the same kind of specs and haircut as Mike does in that photo. NOW I see why everybody always picked on me.

I really like the disclaimer at the bottom of the listing:

"This auction does NOT contain any rocket engines or combustible material nor does it violate any Ebay Listing Policies or User Agreements"

I mean, it's a PICTURE of a rocket! (of course, it is printed on combustible paper... OMG!!! Does that mean that no product sold on ebay can be made from paper? or wood? Oh, the humanity...

Sorry - I let my emotions run away with me for a second - either that or a bit of gas from dinner!

Default Not Mike Dorffler

Craig pulled the auction today with that photo of what he said was Vern and Mike. I asked why and this was his response:

"Thanks for the question. I had to pull the photo because it is not Mike Dorffler in that photo. According to the "Model Rocket News" Issue 10-3, it is William Simon. Since there was 7 days left, I am pulled it, edited it and will relist it tonight at the same time. It already had a bid so I couldn't simply revise it."
