"OTBS"

[deejaydebi]

AT this time I would like to submit for nomination:

HillBillySmoker for cosideration to the Order of the Thin Blue Smoke.

He has proven to be very helpful and supportive to the newbies, made some darn good looking smoked meats and never fails to cheer the troops on or do present info to point someone in the right direction.

IMHO he exhibits the true spirit of the SMF and displays all the qualities that bring pride to the membership.

Thank You

I'll second that !! Hillbillsmoker, a deserving member

I am honored Debi to have been nominated by you. You have been an inspiration in my smoking efforts and just to receive a nomination from you is humbling. I remain with crossed fingers. Thanks so much.

Bill

Debi, you were reading my mind! I would like to support the nomination for Hillbillysmoker

 

[deejaydebi]

Billy -

Aw shucks!

I've been watching you for a while and tracking your every post. I was just waiting for you to post a few more smoke sessions to show our leaders that you were a smoker and not just a talker! Good luck my fingers are crossed! BTW You are my 1st nomination.



Bubba like I sid I was just waiting for him to show his stuff I felt he was right from the first!

Debi I was thinking about the same as you but was waiting for some one to beat me to it, so I will also say Hillbillysmoker should get his place in the thin blue.

not sure if i read this right... do you have to ask? or just be nominated .. or ask & have a few attaboys... i won't ask, but if nominated & accepted i will put it on my resume & try to hold to the greatest standards. could i also add it to my family crest of the nomadic gypsy stickburners ??? (this is kinda joke) - but ya really never have que'd until ya started a fire on a wooden boat & still made it home .... just a thought lol

 

[gypsyseagod]

p.s. - i think hillbilly should be a shoo in

 

[deejaydebi]

Thanks Marvin!

Gyspy-

You don't have to ask, although it has been known to happen. When the membership feels you have shown you are worthy so to speak someone will nominate you. Others will back the nomination and Master Earl either approves or disapproves the nominee.

congradulations to the newest member, and the nomination Hillbillsmoker,, i third or fourth it or whatever inline i am in..lol

 

[gypsyseagod]

cool, cause i wouldn't ask for a grammy award ( thats the prize i want) i'll try to always be a worthy member of the group regardless- i lived on boats & everyday is a learning experience-you never know it all.. so i'll try to let my proof show in my pics & hopefully 1 day, y'all can tasteproof the food - i live to cook for 1 reason professionally .... to make others feel fat & happy on a sunny day w/ good times & better friends.

I humbly accept this great honor and will endeavor to uphold the traditions and reverence associated with it.
