Olham 164 Posted July 31, 2012 A person who would say "stinking badge" about our "Barmy OFFers Club Badge", should be punished! By getting awarded the "Barmy OFFers Club Badge"!!! Yeah!!! And since this person is a highly decorated Marine, he is one of those barmy few, who would defend their country even still with nothing but a stick, and one arm tied to his back. I think that's barmy enough? So, dear Mr. President Lou, dear Vice President Dej - I hereby request the award of the "Barmy OFFers Club Badge" to our long time forum member NS13Jarhead (I know what he said about the badge, but that's sheer barmyness - secretly he loves to wear all those orders, medals and badges on his chest - trust me!)

HumanDrone 4 Posted July 31, 2012 I'd second your motion but I'm not an OFFicer of the OFFer's! Welcome to the madhouse, HH! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slartibartfast 153 Posted July 31, 2012 I will second that one simply because he's a Jarhead... and we need someone to mind the door on a Friday night Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dej 17 Posted August 1, 2012 (edited) I think he'll need a variation on the standard OFF badge... [EDIT]Revised Image... forgot the pin.[/EDIT] Edited August 1, 2012 by Dej Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dej 17 Posted August 1, 2012 Crazy, because it's BARMY OFFers, not BOOZY OFFers. Although... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted August 1, 2012 (edited) Dej, that is a fine variation of the Club Badge for NS13Jarhead, Sir - now that you have already made it, we must only distract our President from his slimming program for a sec, so that he can make up his mind about Jarhead's membership. Lou!?!? Are you on the treadmill?!?!? Edited August 1, 2012 by Olham Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RAF_Louvert 101 Posted August 1, 2012 . Not on the treadmill Olham, I'm actually out in Spearfish, South Dakota. But I had a couple of minutes to check in, and just in time it appears. I say a definite "Yes" to bringing NS13Jarhead into the BOC fold, and Dej's new badge for him is not only apropos but downright spiffing! :yes: . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted August 1, 2012 Isn't it spiffing indeed? (What - a Spearfish in Dakota???) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slartibartfast 153 Posted August 1, 2012 I have heard of off shore fishing but this is a new one to me on shore fishing... maybe we can now try it as the Off'ers Olympic sporting type event... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted August 1, 2012 He wasn't joking - I found "Spearfish, South Dakota" in GoogleMaps. A pity, that these early StreetView pics are not of the good quality they made later. Lou, your area looks like wide freedom to me, Sir - even the skies seem higher in America. As if the landscapes were all done in CinemaScope and Technicolour.

HumanDrone 4 Posted August 1, 2012 It's not all like that, Herr Olham. But when I get out to places like this, it is truly amazing. You go out at night, and the stars are simply unbelievable, innumerable and burning intensity and just a huge black, clear sky, but so immediate in another way, it's tough to describe. If you ever book a trip to the American West, try to insure that a new moon night is in there somewhere. But do ask the locals if you plan to go on foot any distance. I was recently in Craig, CO, and saw my first mountain lion in the wild! So when I eventually parked, I didn't go far from my car! Best, Tom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Norway has hardly any industries, and if, they are down near Oslo. I was higher up, and I was amazed to see the whole Milky Way so clear, that I realised, what the name came from. Never knew before, that there are so many stars! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Von Paulus 8 Posted August 1, 2012 (edited) Yeah, indeed it's a smashy feeling. When I go into the highest place in my country, away from city lights, I never stop feeling in awe with such vision.

NS13Jarhead 6 Posted August 2, 2012 No, no, no, I'm not demeaning the BOC (or BOC S/Fou) badges. OK, I keep forgetting that not everyone has memorized "Classic American Cinema" like I have. I was referring to this timeless scene from Blazing Saddles or the original verion from Treasure of the Sierra Madre Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Olham 164 Posted August 2, 2012 (edited) Although I had seen "Sierra Madre" (long time ago) I didn't remember that bit. Good that you cleared that up, Jarhead, now that the BOC will definitely award you with a special badge, designed even by our Vice President. And since it is none of the "stinking" kind, I guess you will like it. Edited August 2, 2012 by Olham Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted August 2, 2012 Dej, since we all agreed: will you send the "Special BOC Badge" to NS13Jarhead? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
