"OTBS"

[monty]

I was thinkin' exactly the same, Randy! I am honored to second the nomination of Peculiarmike to the Order of the Thin Blue Smoke!

Cheers!

 

[peculiarmike]

Aw gee................. THANKS! A real honor to be among the best!
Now what do I do?

 

[tonto1117]

Sit back, relax and wait for Dutch's blessing........I'm thinking he's a bit busy right now with work and the new arrival of his grandaughter

 

[peculiarmike]

I heard that. Takes a while for the "new" to wear off. They take a lot of spoiling.

 

[Dutch]

You're correct Theresa- Thursday things went to heck in a hand basket when our Access Control system crashed and burned. Since this system was administered by our IT Support, I had to rebuild the system from starting with a new CPU and harddrive. The guys that work for me could only standby and watch since they weren't with the Company when the system was first built. Once I got the ground work done, they re-entered all the Cardholder information Thurdsay night. Friday I just had some minor system tweeking to do and things are running fine now.

Mike, little Maddie was spoiled before she even got here!

Now to the business at hand!! Several individuals deserve recognition and they all should have been recognized long before now!!

Big Al has been nominated before but he felt that he wasnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t ready to join our humble circle and asked to be admitted when he felt he was ready. Since you have been nominated AGAIN, Big Al, there is NO dodging the inevitable- Please welcome to the Order- Big Al. Brother Al, your roster # is OTBS #067.

Dionysus (Ron) and Peculiarmike have been stalwarts here at SMF, doing whatever they can to make SMF a happing place. Also, welcome these two fine individuals in to the Order. Brother Ron your roster # is OTBS #068. Mike, your roster # is OTBS #069.

So here we have our latest inductees into the Order. Guys, please take a few moments and update your tag line with your roster numbers and feel free to add the OTBS Logo in there as well.

Now I got to go-got a dozen things to do here at work before I finish for the day and start my vacation and spend some more QUALITY (i.e.: spoiling) time with my new granddaughter!!

Enjoy!

Congratulations Big Al, Dionysus and Peculiarmike and welcome to the ORDER.

May your smoke always be THIN and BLUE.

 

[bigal]

Thank you all, couldn't have done it w/out the help of so many. Great to be in w/the rest of the OTBS TURDS(Terribly Understanding Respectable Distinguished Smokers).................HA! And you thought I meant "poo"! Dirty, dirty minds!

Thanks Dutch, good luck at work. Give Maddie a great big hug from all of us.

 

[monty]

Congratulations and welcome, Brothers! The Order of the Thin Blue Smoke has gained greatly with your induction!

Cheers!

 

[bigal]

Hey guys, we're not pledges anymore. Time to start hazing!!!

 

[bud's bbq]

Big Al, Dionysus, and Peculiar Mike - Way To Go! Look forward to your continued input and insights. Look forward to enhancing the fine art of Qing.

p.s. Big Al, you are now the high mucky muck turd!

 

[cajunsmoker]

Congratulations guys. Welcome to the OTBS

edit - wish someone would fix this deal about the OTBS always being green:>(

 

[short one]

Congradulations Al, Ron, and Mike.Thanks for sharing your wisdom and ideas with those of us with less experience than you. May the Smoking Gods be with you. Here's to all of you[cold beverage of choice] "TOAST". Steve

 

[monty]

Let's try O.T.B.S.

 

[cajunsmoker]

Thanks Monty

 

[deejaydebi]

Well Congratulations Big Al, Dionysus and Peculiarmike! A well deserved group of O.T.B.S. inductees I must say!

 

[monty]

Rodger, even though the periods work and allow for a color change would you rather we have the "magic library" recognize O.T.B.S. as the geen thingy or would you think that we could just live with it as is? Everyone else is welcome to chime in.

Cheers!

PS This is something we would have to pass by Jeff.

Big Al, Dionysus, and PeculiarMike welcome to the Order. Monty, for what my vote counts I think it OTBS is best left as an acronym on the list so the new members know what it is easier.

 

[Dutch]

For what it's worth, I kinda miss the ol' blue OTBS. That's the reason I've been using "Order" more 'cuz it stays BLUE! I can live with seeing OTBS with periods O.T.B.S -at least it's the right color. I hope this one can stay out of the acronym library.

 

[cajunsmoker]

Ditto.
