I will treasure this moment forever As I have already noted that I'm done with this topic so it is with a heavy heart that I feel I must withdraw my name from consideration Oh shoot, and we were just starting to have fun. Dang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrownBariDad Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 10 hours ago, HockeyDad said: New caption award: the Bob Cratchit accountant award. Named in honor of the abused, underpaid, endlessly working clerk of Ebenezer Scrooge. In spite of such challenges, Bob Cratchit would sacrifice everything for the family he loves, the family who adores him. It is in honor of his selflessness in the face of severe adversity that this award, the Gilded Quill, is presented. This year's award is a neck and neck race between WIS and Gar. Stay tuned as the judges tally the scores. Gilded Quill -- At this very moment, somewhere JK Rowling is knashing her teeth that she didn't come up with this first for Gringotts. Well done, sir! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A moment in memory of those members of the Des Plaines Vanguard who lost their lives when a plane hit the hangar the corps was using for practice outside Chicago in the early 70's. The corps was never the same or really very competitively successful after that. Des Plaines Vanguard was the highest placing non-member corps at the first DCI Championship in 1972, finishing 7th in the finals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blenski said it was true, but he believed the person posed no threat of harm. "He was convicted of taking pictures of people, nude or something," Blenski said. "And the end result is we had to ask him to leave. It's not exactly what I wanted to do but society as it is today, I had no choice." I think I pulled my cringe muscle.

I'm just curious, do you find it more productive to sharpen the tines of your pitchfork with a dry stone or do you add water? Or maybe anneal it over a flame? Meant to be kind of funny, not personal.
