As a fledgling order of great magnitude it behooves us to formalize our proceedings in such a way that we can legitimatize ourselves through coordinated activities and organized ritual.
basically we need like a slogan and handshake and ****.
maybe official titles
you know, so we look serious

Um I did that yesterday, do I get to do it again?0 -
My parliamentary procedure is rusty!! I thought you were moving a motion to bring it to a vote. I was seeing if anybody was opposed to speed up the process.
Or something like that.. Did someone say beer and pizza?0 -
First order of business is beer! Then if there is room we can have pizza. You know, all this fitness stuff.0

Let's skip the low cal beer and drink the good stuff.0

I just figured why not skip to formalities and get to the pizza and beer! :happy:0 -
Hoss is the Grand Poobah and Founder of our group. Maybe we can have Jr. Poobahs for each state as leaders to expand our membership. lol Since I live in GA, I fall under the GA Order with Hoss.
Slogan ideas?
Handshake?0 -
The only thing I could think of off the top of my head so far is the Truffle Shuffle. Not sure if it should be a greeting or just saved for special occasions though.

I think the Truffle Shuffle is a great idea oh mighty Poobah. I would prefer to save the Truffle Shuffle for special occasions, perhaps an annual convention in Las Vegas.0 -

Since I live in Illinois I would like to nominate myself as the Official Junior Poobah of the Illinois Chapter.0 -
After reading through the previous posts, there seems to be a discrepancy in the proper spelling of our leaders title. Is it Poobah, Pooba or Puba?
Downsizinghoss, Can we have a ruling on the official spelling?0 -
I might qualify for janitor.....if it is not taken.0

Da** I missed our first meeting...but if you look at my pics you'll see I have my lid ready for the next one

Since I seem to be the only one from the Land of 10,000 lakes, I guess I am the Jr. Poobah for the great state of MN. And as my first order of business I declare that the Truffle Shuffle should be used only for special occasions! I like the convention in Vegas idea! That sounds like fun!0

It seems like Poobah wins out on the spelling. LOL A convention would be fun. Can you imagine the jaws drop if they saw us all walk into a buffet together? :laugh:0

Funny story, I was hanging with a group of friends a few years ago, there was 5 of us all between 6'2" and 6'9" and the smallest guy was around 250lbs. We were at a busy pub for happy hour and we were sitting at the bar.
One thing led to another and a few of us started play fighting, wrestling by the bar, a crowd gathered and everyone of us was laughing, we all knew no one was going to get hurt.
The "doorman" who was probably 5'9" and a very well built 225 lb was pleading with us to stop. Almost a whine "come on guys, pleeeeease stop". The bartender started laughing at the doorman and was calling him out on his "doorman" skills.
Once we settled down, the doorman was asking us to all leave, we laughed, and before we could gather our coats to head out, the bartender told the doorman to apologize and noted that we had already spent about $200 on a tab, and looked like we were not ready to stop drinking and eating and said that if we were made to leave, the doorman could go home.
A few of us who had been doormen in previous lives, did say sorry to him and we continued to drink. The bartender said that he never felt safer than having us sitting at the bar in front of him and bought us a round.
I really would have loved to see what we looked like from the eyes of one of the "normal" patrons, it must have been something akin to a WWF event.
Ahhhh, the good old days.0 -
