Glad to see my thong comment waking everyone up!

I like George's idea, but to carry it further actually getting a Prius and placing it strategically on George's property to be used for target practice.

Anyone in?

From the desk of your presidential servant...

Bullet points:

* What is with you guys? ODSS Thongs as well as our beloved MUMUs have always been and always will be unisex sizing. While the MUMUs are a durable cotton for comfort and coolness the Thongs are made of that fabulous material lycra that conforms and masks a multitude of sins! C'mon guys we've been over all of this at our late night ODSS Homecoming powwows!

* George, if you can prevent the boys from shooting out the glass in the Prius, I may be in need of a bullet-riddled second car.

* SWEATSHIRT DESIGN SUBMISSION:

FRONT

ODSS JUNKYARD TOUR

REAR

EVENT STAFF OR

I don't even know what a 50 BMG but I'm thinking we might need to have a 50 LB BFH on hand for anyone showing up to the JYT with a thong on.
And with all due respect Mr. President, you are starting to worry me a little with your extensive knowledge of the male thong. I mean, "fabulous material lycra", really??? Oh no..... no, no, no. My image of you in bibs has just been forcibly replaced by you in a "lycra" thong......wait for it.....in the Fulton Extraction Rig.

I could add to this important information, but since I will not be able to attend, I feel that I should withhold my thoughts.

I will request that plenty of pictures be taken of this event and posted for us, that are not able to attend. As long as the properly attired participant, has his (ahem) truck properly waxed.

Mr. President, just to be clear, a really wasn't singling you out and I apologize if you felt that way. Truth is, I have no desire, what so ever, to see ANY of my ODSS brothers in that small of a piece of clothing. Therefore, I respectfully decline the offer of official Mumu and Thong inspector. Perhaps you are on to something though. I mean.... the man does sell them in his store, he is government trained and a tireless worker. Maybe J Crosby is your man for chief inspector.

Billy,
Thank you, I accept your gracious resignation of the TMI, Thong-Mumu-Inspector. You are right, John Milliman is the man for this prestigious position!

John, you are hereby nominated to the office, ODSS TMI!

In the words of Billy T. Sherman,

"I hereby state, and mean all that I say, that I never have been and never will be a candidate for this office; that if nominated by any party, I should peremptorily decline; and even if unanimously elected I should decline to serve."

Besides, the ODSS Bylaws state quite clearly that the office of Rush Chair is a solely binding office and that the incumbent can hold no other office simultaneously.

Brother Don

Per the 2015 Homecoming proceedings, you have been awarded full ODSS Brotherhood rights and responsibilities. Further as your Sergeant-At-Arms it is my duty and responsibility to ensure you are abiding by these standards.

Therefore, by the power vested to me by this Brotherhood, I remind you that silence in the ODSS gets you volunteered for positions that no one wants.

Enjoy the popcorn, but speak your mind. We know from last year that you have quite an imagination. So I task you to come up with something good, or YOU may be anointed TMI specialist.

As you were.

Dearest Peggy,

Hissy away, we're good with it. John's 'job' as our ODSS TMI guy would only take 10 minutes /year none of those minutes taking away from handgun practice down near the pond or Gator oil changin'.

Besides, John has accurately cited bylaws stating that he is indeed ineligible for the prestigious and highly sought after ODSS TMI so regretfully we will have to perform a regional, national, and I'm sighing here, international search!

I've recently knocked heads with The Executive Committee and we have decided to accept curriculum vitaes from the Stovebolt world.

I can only hope that the quest for an ODSS TMI will not prevent me from attending the 2016 Winter Classic. Read: president Cosmo down in the garage sipping 'home remedy' reviewing pastel papered resumes.

Boys and girls I'll take the bullet and review that paperwork so that you all can go and have fun at the Classic. George, please give my fondest regards to Joyce and the family.

Peggy, it appears you are once again going to have to pull your Voo-Do doll out from its hiding place. If you need more pins just let me know and I'll send you some. Have your hissy fit and anything else you want to do. If folks know whats good for them they'll leave you along. We all know who the REAL Boss is!!!

Mr. President
As I read this, I have been nominated for the position of TMI.

If elected, I will run a strict office and inspection committee.

All those who attend the Homecoming event, will be subject to inspection, by myself or any member of the committee that I appoint.
That at any given time during the event, a SPOT inspection can be initiated, public or private, by me or any member of the committee.
Proper rubber, shoulder length gloves will be issued to committee members.

Myself and committee members will not be considered suspects for violation of the rules and will not be subject to inspection.

Refusal to an inspection or any violations found during the inspection will be punishable and punishment decided on, by myself, public or private.

All members of the governing party are elegeable for an appointment to the committee, up to and including the President.

Well good going Don ("committee members will not be considered suspects for violation of the rules and will not be subject to inspection"). Always like to see folks volunteer when there is an urgent need.

I think you found yourself a huge bunch who will volunteer for your committee. grin I know I am usually no where to be found at Homecoming, but I will volunteer for your committee, in whatever capacity I may serve, especially if I'm "not subject to ..." grin

POINT OF ORDER, Mr. President!! POINT OF ORDER!!!!

Harrrrumph! Mr. Sergeant At Arms, I would like to call out the gentleman from Missouri for a gross violation of ODSS procedure. The sheer arrogance of which I find absolutely mind numbing! How DARE he adjust the by laws (with regards to office holding and the duties and authorities of an office holder) without first consulting the ODSS By Laws Committee!!

I am absolutely aghast and nearly apoplectic with indignation at the sheer mendacity of his intentions and complete disregard for our sacred tradition of formality. I'm sure the other members share my umbrage but their sense of courtesy restrains them from so stating.

If I may humbly point out that it is your duty ... your DUTY, Sir to hastily convene a disciplinary board to consider charges. I will, of course, be honored to make myself available (for a nominal wage, naturally) for just such duty at your pleasure, Sir.

A poohbah thus a salaried minion ... it revolts me, but I do it.

Yr Obedient Servant,
J Crosby Milliman

Apoplectic with indignation? Holy snikees. Am I to have to get out the WEBSTERS to follow this debate, on this forum? Maybe I will retreat to my garage and hit myself in my eye socket with my 8 inch adjustable.
Don - I have been in front of that disciplinary panel many times. (Gas v diesel - who knew?) I have found that as long as Cosmo has mason jug in hand he is lenient and fair. Representation should come from the best Stovebolt council, Billy, and make sure Peggy is on your side (It sounds like she already is).

Holy snikees is right, you all gone and got JCrosby all turnedup!
I have to agree with Alec a few posts back, "scarey". I remember all that talk coming from " the gentleman from Missouri" pre Homecominglast year. Long rubber gloves, cuddling, red headed wigs. Still gives me the hebegebies.
For the record, I would like Karen Milliman to be my cocounsil if my services are requested. Heck, we got Hamy out of a pickle a few years ago.

It seems our Brother from Missouri has not spent his first year of brotherhood doing as instructed, reading the ODSS Constitution and By-laws. These are the very documents that I have been so honorably appointed by this Brotherhood to preserve and protect at all costs.

I have been informed of the accused and his actions and have begun to exercise powers given to the SAA to restore order and bring those whom whether intentionally or not, created great disturbances in the peaceful tranquility of the ODSS.

JCM, as always I hereby secure your services as Prosecuting Council for these preceedings. Further, to show a display of fairness, I also appoint Hambone as Defense Council. Since Hambone as noted above has experienced the harshness of this court I feel he is a great resource for the accused. If the accused wishes to represent himself or appoint other or additional council at his expense, he has the right to do so. May God have mercy on his soul.

For the rashness of these crimes, several mason jars may be required to keep nerves calm and orderly.

Don took the bait, time to have some fun........

Yours in orderly service.

You have snow?? Wish it were so here ... Monday. John and Hambone are transplanting trees today (yet again - but this should be the last!).

I would like to contribute an eye patch for Hambone. I will see if I can get an ODSS logo embroidered on it. So, when John gets into character from a Jane Austin movie, those "not in the know" can have an idea of what transformation had just taken place.

My ODSS friends......It's Sunday and I'm glad we are off the topic of the TMI MuMu. Though I was looking to bring a guy I met in NAPA to Homecoming. His name is Ben Dover and would have really enjoyed jumping in the mix in April as well as this conversation. He drives a pink AMC Pacer. He would be a strong second to Don on the inspection job and would enjoy getting closer to his anvil. Or all our anvils.......

I plan to be at the Winter Classic. I would bring the Miley dog, but till the day I die I will never forget Bill Marlow's warning to me in Winchester. "Joe - you probably don't want to take Miley to Frankie's - that pink collar might not go over well". What Billy really meant - Joe, you gotta lose that collar. So this Christmas, Miley got a new dark purple collar as well as $1200 worth of dental work. The exact equivalent of 6 - 8R19.5's to be mounted on those rims. She is down 6 teeth and no longer has butt breath. She lost most of the weight gained in Winchester from scraps around the fire. We do need to rig up a seat belt for Brother Roach's golf cart for her.

Mike B, I would love to go back to Leon's but I just doubt I will be able to get away from work. Still very short handed. I liked that yard although I think all that stuff he has there is slowly going back into the ground. That and he wasn't cheap by any means.

Joe, good news about Miley's new duds. I'm sure she looks smashing and is ready for Frankie's! Also cool she got her choppers all worked out. I hope you know that her butt breath may be offensive to you but to her 4 legged friends, it probably smelled like she just took a bite out of a Pepperment Patty.

I hope you rescind your invite to Ben D. I understand that the weekend of Homecoming there will be marathon of TV featuring shows like Fashion Police, What not to Wear and Say yes to the dress Im sure will be a can't miss for him. Plus, you got rid of the pink collar, the last thing we need is a pink Pacer at HQ. Just in case, I would ask George to bring the 50 BMG......

Now hang on a moment ... Let us not completely abandon our good sense of hospitality or decorum here...

Pink?? Who cares if it's pink??? I don't care what color it is -- Pacers are cool! REAL manly he-men (um, such as myself) can appreciate such a fine specimen of American autorama. After Opie's Rambler American, I think we're MORE than ready for a Pink Pacer at Homecoming.

Unless it would threaten someone's thin grasp on their own masculinity .....

eeeek

REBUTTAL to the charges

First I would like to thank Sweet for the unsolicited nomination as the official TM Inspector.
I would also like to thank Alex for seconding that nomination.

And of course Peggy, who immediately volunteered her services on the appointed inspection committee.
I think she should be the chairman of that committee.

Now
As for J. Crosby Milliman calling me out and accusing me of gross violation of ODSS procedure.
I must remind him, that I was only stating the rules that I would enforce, IF ELECTED.

I also interpreted J. Crosby Milliman calling out, as a challenge to a duel.
Remember "My perception, is my reality"
Myself being challenged should have the right to pick the time, place and choice weapons for the duel.
I pick the time as Saturday evening during the Homecoming after the official board meeting.
Weapons, will be mason jars at 2 paces, sitting in chairs, and I request that Cosmo be my second, by my side for support.

The election should take place, sometime during the JYT.

As for Amtrac's friend with the pink Pacer, he should be included in any get together, Remember, pink is the color for breast cancer awareness. Which is very important to all of us.

Oh excellent (I like your title, Don). Shall I include this on the Homecoming flyer (as the date draws near and we probably won't be ready anyway :D).

Now on the dual, I think it will be entertaining as long as you don't schedule it after the bonfire has started. Perhaps someone can dig up the picture or video of the year when all the attendees looked fast asleep. As John reminded me (when I tell this story), everyone did perk up after their "power nap" and headed back to the shop to wrench into the night.

As the appointed safety official, I will make appropriate seating arrangements for the dual. I think the traditional fold-up chairs ill suited and a more omnistabilized if not anchored variant is required.
