"OTBS"

[monty]

Hey, Joe!

The run up I-89 can be a real pretty trip. But if you want to see Vermont at its best, while it lasts, visit the Northeast Kingdom where I live, work and play.

Got ten very secluded acres and a small cabin. House to be built soon. I regularly have moose, deer, bear and other critters in my yard. Very much like the part of Maine where I grew up.

Again, enjoy your trip and stay safe!
Cheers!
Monty

Well, now with all the family business settled I would like to take a moment to get back to business. In reviewing the posts by Noah, "nmayeux" I can only agree that Noah is definitely worthy of inclusion in the Order of the Thin Blue Smoke. Gary, Iceman62, I wholeheartedly second your nomination.

If I remember correctly our mentor in this, Dutch, is away for a bit. Noah, patience and your induction is I am sure forthcoming!

Cheers All!
Monty

And yet another nomination comes to play. Although we do not know a whole bunch about him, he has been a solid poster and does exhibit good knowledge and a proper approach to our craft. That being said I would humbly submit Cheech for induction into the Order of the Thin Blue Smoke.
All parties please witness this nomination!
Cheers!
Monty

 

[icemn62]

For his deligence in spreading the word of Thin Blue, I second the nomination of Cheech. While waiting for the preliminaries to proceed through, I will tip a cold one in your name and honor.

 

[cajunsmoker]

Since Dutch couldn't decide who I was talking about last time I "thirded that nomination." I will say I third the Nomination of JoeD617, Noah and Cheech. I think all are highly qualified for this honor and I will be proud to have them as fellow members :!:

 

[monty]

Thank you for your concurrence, Rodger! When the Grand Knight returns he will certainly confirm our candidates!
Cheers!
Monty

Wow- I go out of town for a couple of days and I miss out on all the discussion.

Monty, TulsaJeff, Cajun, Chi-Bill and et al have done an exceptional job in explaning what the OTBS is and does. Membership into the OTBS can be achived by self-nomination or by being nominated by someone else. The person that is making the nomitation need not be a member of the OTBS.

 

[monty]

Welcome back, Dutch!

Happy to see that you are pleased with the way we kept the flock safe and sound! You were missed!

Cheers!
Monty

 

[buzzard]

i want to be jester of the otbs!!!! when you look to hire one

 

[Dutch]

Hear Ye, Hear Ye, Knights of the Order-Lady and Sirs and those that have an interest in the OTBS-Heed and take notice that the petitions of nomination have been seconded and that they have been duly recognised.

Be it known that JoeD617, nmayeux and Cheech have had petitions made on their behalf for membership into the Order of the Thin Blue Smoke . They each have made new members feel welcome into the Smoking Meat Forum Family. They have shared their knowledge with others and they continue to pursue and promote the Art of Smoking.

Let them enter now into the Order of the Thin Blue Smoke and take their place of honor.

JoeD617, OTBS #30,
nmayeux (aka Noah) OTBS #31 and
Cheech, OTBS #32

Be it known that Brother Buzzard, OTBS #11 has asked to be the Jester of the Order; being that Bro. Buzzard does manage to bring a smile and can cause ones favorite libation to spew forth from ones mouth and nostrils with his wit and humor in his posts, I hereby appoint Bro. Buzzard as our official Jester.

 

[nmayeux]

OK guys, you really blindsided me with this one! I have not spent any time in this forum, and did not even know what the OTBS was until I recieved a PM from Dutch! I am truly honored, and hope to live up to your standards. Also, thanks for the kind words, and Ice, I owe you one! ;)
Sincerely,

Larry Maddock is #5 and I nominate him for assistant Jester due to his joke posts. :P

 

[monty]

It is with great glee and a hearty laugh that I second the nomination of Larry Maddock as Assistant Jester of the Order of the Thin Blue Smoke. His humor is well founded and always amuses with taste and without ribaldry! Grand Knight please take note!
Cheers!
Sir Monty

OTBS Member List

Monty, since I'm somewhat musically trained, which note would you like me to take??

If Larry Joe doesn't mind being the Assistant Jester of the Order of the Thin Blue Smoke then it is with a big smile :D that I extend this honor to Larry Maddock, OTBS #005

Buzzard, Not every member has listed their OTBS # in their signature line. It's their option if they want to.

Cajun, Thanks post posting the list- I see I have a bit of editing to do. :P

 

[monty]

Dutch, since I am also musically trained as well as talented it is my wish that you "C" what my intentions might "B" and stay "Sharp" with your wit as well as "keep in tune" with what's happening. No need to "pick up the tempo" so "fa" you have "kept up" as you have been "flat" out!
Cheers!
Monty

 

[cajunsmoker]

No problem Dutch, I just want to be an instrument in the band :P

 

[Dutch]

Maybe that explains the drum roll I heard earlier. :P

 

[monty]

Good one, Dutch! I Owe You!
Cheers!
Monty
