"OTBS"

[illini]

Please don't think I have cut and run....The wife and I are off to Florida for a couple of weeks to enjoy the retirement years and yes to play a lot of golf.

As Dutch has said...Hey someones got to do it!

Take care and hold the fort, or castle, so to speak :oops:

 

[Dutch]

Marvin, Go and have fun and try to hit some more "hole in ones". BTW-don't let the Snow birds talk you in to staying unless you can hook up with a 'puter and stay in touch.

Safe travels to you and the Mrs.

Marvin, I think I speak for all of us OTBS brethern when I say that we are humbled that you would take a trip to florida just to celebrate your induction into our brotherhood.

Welcome to the inner sanctum.
Tim

Brothers and Sisters of THE ORDER OF THE THIN BLUE SMOKE...I humbly put before you the nomination of a most deserving member of this great forum...I nominate DeejayDebie....she has more than demonstrated her knowledge of the fine art of smoking...her willingness to help and share is most admirable ...
What say you...

Richard

 

[buzzard]

i was going to do that myself. her knowledge and helpfulness is more then deserving.

i second

 

[smokyokie]

I third on the same grounds as afore mentioned, plus the fact that she's a dedicted Qer, inventive sort, farm girl, plays the banjo, grows hops(and probably brews beer too)

Why not make it official Dutch.

:oops: It just dawned on me that she might not want to be quite that closely affiliated w/ a scrufty lot like our own.

How 'bout it Deb?

 

[Dutch]

I've been looking over her posts and was thinking about tossing her name into the Nomination hat and it looks like ya'alls had beat me to it.

Seeing as I'm the Grand Master of this "scruffy lot", the least I can do is accept the nomination and proudly declare deejay debi an official member of the Order of the Thin Blue Smoke. Congrats, Debi you are OTBS #050.

 

[illini]

(Whispering)Hey Earl you need to give Debi a number!

(Loudly) pleased to have you standing next to me! Congratulations

Well the # wasn't there when I posted...Just like me....always in a hurry!

 

[ultramag]

Welcome to the Order Debi! The big #50. Congratulations.

 

[joed617]

Congratulations Debbie, How does it feel to be the BIG 50?

[smoked]

I cant think of any two other more deserving for the otbs initiation..... one of these days maybe I can sneak into the order as well :)

 

[Dutch]

Moving on to other official business. . . Some of you have seen some of us sporting the OTBS Member logo in our signature line and wonder "How can I get that?" Well, it's easy-just send me a check for eleventeen dollars and 59 cents and I'll send you the SECRET CODE (Shhhh!!) you gotta keep it a secret!!!

Okay, I won't charge ya for it!!! Copy the URL addy at the bottom of this post and go into your "Profile" page and click on the Signature tab. Place the cursor where you want the logo to be and paste the URL addy. Remember to remove spaces between

 

[Dutch]

I know, I know-my forgetter was working overtime, so I had to jump over to the Roster page to see what the next number was!! Somehow I managed to do a double post but that's taken care of now too also even! :P

 

[msmith]

Congrats Debi heres a big Texas {{{{ HUG}}} for ya.

Illini you get a big tx style {{{ Hand Shake}}}

Congratulations to both of you.

 

[smokyokie]

Is anyone aware of any reason that Smoked fails to meet the criteria for membership in the brotherhood? If not, then I would like to nominate Smoked for consideration .

Tim BTW, congrats Debi!

 

[chris_harper]

randy, thanks for the nomination. i already sent dutch a pm this morning nominating marvin (msmith).
so i guess i second marvin's nomination.

edit: seconding marvin's nomination.

 

[cajunsmoker]

Just to see how confused I can get Dutch :P , I would like to also nominate GoFish and Pyre for membership. Lets see how high old Dutch can count :lol: .

Also congrats to all the other new members.

 

[mrgrumpy]

I want to send my humble apologies to everyone here. I keep forgetting abt this thread, and just don't get here.

So congratulations to all of the new members.

I will be doing my part on April 27-28, 2007 in Norfolk,VA at the slamminbbq competition. If anyone is in the area, stop by and we will chew the fat for a bit. Then I am looking at another one in Chesapeake, VA in May.

Keep on smoking, and keep on keeping on. The smoking bug has bit, and I have caught the worst case of want to that I think there is. It is so bad, that on Monday, my day off, it is suppose to be 38* for a high, and I am gearing up to do some competition style chicken. Just sniff the air, and stop on by.
