In appreciation of the help that Icemn62 gave without any hesitation or concern for his own mental well being -in dealing with a complete computer illiterate, that being me, I humbly ask that he be considered for entry into the Order of the Thin Blue Smoke.
Earl, you being a full fledged member already :) I can't ask about a membership for yourself but I do appreciate the help you put forth also.
Long live the Order.

 

[icemn62]

Thank you for the nomination Gremlin. If accepted, I promise to work hard to spread the joys, thrills, good news of the "Sweet Blue"

Chris, I agree that Gary (Iceman62) is quite helpful to other members and goes out of his way to make new members feel welcome.

I accept your recommendation and hereby proclaim Iceman62 (aka Gary) the newest member of the Order of the Thin Blue Smoke.

Welcome into the Order, Iceman62, OTBS #29.

I've known Gary for, jeez, couple years now (or so it seems that way). Thanks for seconding Earl. You know he, I, Noah, and Scott are all familiar with each other, so I didnt want to be the one to second it.

And thanks to Gremlin for jumping in, sharing his experiences, and helping the site grow!

Congrats Iceman! Glad to have you as a fellow member.

And by the way Gremlin I think everyone should be appreciative of Dutch and all he does for everyone :!:

Welcome into the Order of the Thin Blue Smoke, Gary! You have already made an impression and left your mark on this most wonderful forum. And in a most positive way! Welcome Brother Gary!
Cheers!
Monty

It is with a great and humbling honor, that I accept the privledge. I shall endeavor to spread the word, and wisdom of the Thin Blue Smoke to all I come across.

 

[jlloyd99]

Just wanted to welcome all of the new members to the Order. It's nice to be in such great company!

 

[gremlin]

I'm thinkin maybe we should give Earl A somewhat more nobel title ......such as "Earl E Meritus" Order of the Thin Blue Smoke,
I say this not to cause a stir in the Order or to complicate things but to show our appreciation for all that he does both seen and unseen on this forum.
I'm not trying to embarress you Earl I just think you gotta be spendin a lot of time and effort doing what you do.
Opinions; Votes; anyone? :)
Have a good day everyone.

I unfortunately have to go do the night shift thing now, but I am taking some of that smoked fish and a couple of my Goose and Venison sausages and a slather of hot sauce for lunch with me so it will be a tolerable shift.

 

[cajunsmoker]

i'm with you Gremlin. Consider my vote a resounding YEA :!:

 

[monty]

How's this for a moniker?

Grand Knight of the Order of the Thin Blue Smoke

Any takers?

Monty

 

[icemn62]

He deserves a title that displays all the hard work he does to make things around here work as smoothly as he does. And since he get the Thin Blue Smoke rolling, why not somthing simple like "THE FLAME."

{I admit, I am really bad at making up names"

 

[vulcan75001]

Sorry Iceman...I'll have to go with srmonty on this one...

 

[cajunsmoker]

Yea iceman I'm usually with you, but I'm with Monty on this one :D

 

[Dutch]

Shucks, all- tulsajeff went and made me a Jr. Admin. last week and now you all want to give me the title of "Grand Knight". I am deeply touched.

Would being GKOTBS mean that you all can call me "Sir Dutch"? :mrgreen:

 

[monty]

Heya, Sir Dutch!
Back at ya for the Sir Monty thing! :D With you as our leader and the originator of the OTBS it is only fitting that your title be Grand Knight of the Order of the Thin Blue Smoke! The rest of us would be the Knights of the Order of the Thin Blue Smoke and would all in turn be addressed by "Sir" as well. Sort of adds a whole new dimension to the whole shebang.
But, all kidding aside your creation of the OTBS has added to the forum and I think I can speak for everyone in saying, "Thank You!" for this and for all the time you have invested in making this a great forum!

Cheers!
Sir Monty

 

[Dutch]

Hmm-Me thinks that Lady J wouldn't take too kindly to being call "Sir". But the title of "Sir" or "Lady" as the gender specifies should be encouraged amongst the Knights of Order of the Thin Blue Smoke.

 

[monty]

But yet once again I bow humbly to your wisdom, Sir Dutch, with but a small question....... Do we still address Lady J as "Lady J" or as "Lady Lady J"?

:D :D :D

Sir Monty

PS Is this getting silly or what???? I LOVE it!

 

[monty]

Upon reflection, this is not silly at all. I would put forward that all inductees of the feminine gender be addressed as "Lady" and that said title be at all times and in all manner equal to the title of "Knight".
And I furthermore put forward that any use of either title be totally at the discretion of the individual.
Respectfully,
Sir Monty
