Pin #551: Kiss the Girl

This pin was a birthday gift from my beautiful girlfriend.  It's from the Kiss the Girl scene in The Little Mermaid.  I love that movie.  And I love that she thinks of this scene when she thinks of us.  It was really sweet of her to get me pins for my birthday and I love this one!

Pin #550: LAFD 84

Yet another pin from the 1984 Olympics, this one features the Olympic torch sponsored by the LA Fire Department.  It's a cool pin with the fireman's axes coming out of the side.

Pin #549: LA Olympics ABC

This is another pin from the 1984 Olympics in LA.  I like this one because it has the ABC logo interwoven in the Olympic Rings.  Other than that, it's a fairly nondescript pin.

Pin #548: 1980 Winter Olympics

This is a pin from the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid.  This is really my only link to the Miracle on Ice.  I got this pin with a bunch of others that my mom found for me at a client's, I think.  It's a simple pin, which I like.

Pin #547: FDR Home

This is a pin representing the home of Franklin D. Roosevelt.  It is copper in color with some green, dangling things on the bottom.  I don't recall where I got this pin, but I think either my parents or friends of my parents went there and got it for me.

Pins #542-546: Phillies 2008 Playoffs

This is a pin set I bought to commemorate the 2008 Philadelphia Phillies World Series Championship.  Each pin represents a step along the path to the championship.  In the top left, the pin celebrates the NL East Championship.  Then in the top right we recognize the NLDS victory over the Brewers.  On the bottom left, we see the NLCS victory over the Dodgers.  I went to two games during that series, including the Matt Stairs homerun game.  The pin on the bottom right celebrates the World Series victory over the Rays.  And in the center, there is a World Champions pin featuring the World Series trophy.  This is one of my favorite pin sets because it represents such a happy sports memory for me.

Pins #539-541: Alabama Crimson Tide

This is a pin set representing the Alabama Crimson Tide.  I am by no means an Alabama fan, but this set was a gift from someone so I keep it.  The three different pins showcase the school logo and mascot, which is an elephant for some reason.  It's a simple, classy set.
