Hey Carl, Congratulations on making it to the BIG 40 .. :) You deserve it .. and have earned it.

Okay folks, here is where I admit that I'm just a mere mortal. :roll:

In comparing the OTBS master list of with what is posted in this forum I noticed that I had totally skipped over #038. Those members affected please note and accept my most profound apologies!

Brother Meowey, you are OTBS #038 and Brother Carl you are OTBS #39.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Once again, Dutch, we admit to our own human foible...we are not perfect! But I truly enjoy folks who display humble honesty!

And speaking of humility, I have noticed recently that one new member of the SMF sort of stands out. I sincerely hope that he has a change of heart in the design of his avatar and that his attitude toward our humble clan changes soon.

I cannot possibly nominate nor would I expect any OTBS Knight nominate anyone who so brashly expects acceptance into our fold.

Nuff Sed!

Cheers to all!

Dutch,

Unless you kicked me out already, I am #38 :D

My future hopes to be part of your group have just disappeared. While it was only meant to serve homage to the group, and no harm was meant, only the hopes that one day I would be good enough to join. You can bet your sweet butt that those feelings are now gone forever.

[monty]

Not necessarily! But take the message to heart, Jamie. Membership gains you nothing, earning it gains you something for yourself from deep inside!

Hang around, get to know us and be a part of the group and your time will come!
Cheer!

PS Ditch the avatar! :D

 

[jabo]

Amen, I only hoped to one day gain membership. You should have taken it as a compliment. Now you can do with it whatever you want. I will stick around and try to help where I can and pick up what knowledge I can. Be part of your group? No thanks.

You know, since this is obviously a huge misuderstanding on the part of some people who thought I was trying to be arrogant. When in fact just the opposite is true. Maybe next time a PM would be more appropriate than a public trouncing? I guess there are those who know it all without asking.

Congratulations on being whatever # you are carl :D . I have enjoyed your posts and your sense of humor.

Dutch, here's where #38 went.

 

[up in smoke]

All…I really appreciate your vote of confidence, and I shall endeavor to be a positive element in this ocean of enthusiasm. I thank you heartily.
Smoked pate of heart, anyone? :twisted:

 

[Dutch]

My bad Doug, I somehow forgot to add your name and number to the OTBS Master list.

Here is a partial list of the recent OTBS members.

SmokeMack: OTBS #035
Tommy C: OTBS #036
vulcan75001: OTBS #037
Doug123: OTBS #038
meowey: OTBS #039
Up in Smoke: OTBS #40

I would like to nominate SALBAJE GATO aka Wildcat to the order of the thin blue smoke. Anyone with the notion to deep fry a smoked rib deserves the recognition. :D

 

[joed617]

Any guy that can build a cool smoker like his deserves a 2nd!


Joe

 

[monty]

There is another individual who is also deserving of nomination into the Order of the Thin Blue Smoke. I am proud to put forward Gypc for consideration of membership in the OTBS.

His posts are usually accompanied by excellent photos which in addition to the drool factor also attest to his talent for showcasing his food.

Gypc is also quick to share a recipe and to answer questions for others. Please join me in his nomination.

Cheers!

 

[cajunsmoker]

And once again I wholeheartedly agree with you Monty. I second gypc's nomination with pleasure.

 

[joed617]

Another good choice .. 3rd for Gypc

 

[monty]

And sometimes there are those who are overlooked. I would at this time put forward ultramag, AKA Chad, for membership in the Order of the Thin Blue Smoke.

Chad is very quick to welcome new members and he has posted a lot of great evidence of his skill, photos included! He shares his recipes with us and gives credit to others when due!

All Knights of the OTBS please take note and advise!

Cheers!

 

[Dutch]

Monty, I'll second you on ultramag's nomination.

As I'm feeling a bit under the weather, this will be short and sweet.

Please welcome the following nominee's into the OTBS. . .

Salbaje Gato: OTBS #041
Gypc: OTBS #042
ultramag: OTBS #043

Welcome into the Order of Thin Blue Smoke.

 

[monty]

Welcome to the fold, all! You have proven your ability and have distinguished yourselves in a true and proper manner! Congratulations!

Dutch! I do hope you are feeling better soon!

Cheers!

Huzzah! Welcome, Que Knights, Welcome! :D
