Olham 164 Posted July 10, 2011 (edited) I don't believe it is worthy of a sticky though, but thank you for the high praise. Don't get me wrong there, Lou - it IS worthy of a "sticky", Sir. But I know that Pol tries to keep the "sticky" space tight, and it wouldn't even be necessary to do, cause each time you post in there, it will pop up top of the page anyway; and we can do with some more activity on the posting page, IMHO. I am definitely looking forward to any future numbers - a big thumb-up! . Edited July 10, 2011 by Olham Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dej 17 Posted July 10, 2011 Dej, that song text of yours is great. And now you even got it changing verses. How did you do that? Is it an animated GIF? Thanks Olham, yes, an animated GIF it is. Part of the 'Barmyness for the Barmy Mess' music collection, featuring popular songs of that ilk as well as music by J.S.BOCh, Luigi BOCcherini, Arnold BOCs et al.

Olham 164 Posted July 10, 2011 ...as well as music by J.S.BOCh, Luigi BOCcherini, Arnold BOCs et al. Raaaaaahhhh, this barmyness is killing me!!! For the Overture, I recommend Ludwig van BOChoven! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dej 17 Posted July 10, 2011 In my Vice-Presidential capacity may I mention that 'Fly Swatting with a Toothpick' will definitely be one of the featured events at the next BOC Sports Day along with 'Cocktail Stick Javelin Throwing'; 'Rather-more-than-tiddly Winks'; 'Nailing Jelly to the Wall'; 'Model T Hangar Slalom'; the comparatively mundane 'Bicycle Racing' and other events yet to be determined.

UK_Widowmaker 571 Posted July 10, 2011 I am very disappointed to see that the Pro-Celebrity Ant Rolling race has been postponed...AGAIN! :nea: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RAF_Louvert 101 Posted July 10, 2011 . Don't forget the wheel spat toss, Bowden cable fencing, and the ever-popular 'Cleverest Use of a Magneto in the Club Bar' competition.

Hasse Wind 46 Posted July 10, 2011 Let's hope that The Illustrated BOC News (TIBOCN) will never become part of the Murdoch empire! That would exceed all decent barmyness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Olham 164 Posted July 10, 2011 (edited) ...getting a little barmier every day! As you, Mr. President, and you, Mr. Vice President, seem to have agreed on the most barmy way of writing our salute, I will not stand back and use the same. Contact (tink... tink... tink...) Clear! PS: that BOC Sports Day will hopefully be as barmy as this event: Edited July 10, 2011 by Olham Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rickitycrate 10 Posted July 10, 2011 In regards to being Barmy, I wonder if I am alone in the fact that whenever I get my hands on a new WWI book (new to me) I turn to the index and search for all of my paternal/maternal family names? No cigar... so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Polovski 414 Posted July 10, 2011 Super job Lou very funny :) Sticky space is precious but we can make it a sticky if everyone wants and ultimately Lou wants to do more. The first post would need links to each edition or something - and editing of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lewie 7 Posted July 10, 2011 May I add to the list of Barmy Sports the ever popular Cracked Corn and Chicken Chess, The Hidden Weasel of Suprise, The Rumpty Farman Plop, The thrilling St Omer Chimney Inner tube toss, and Floating down the Somme in old Fuselages Regatta, (There's an actual historic precedence for this one..)
