    As the Unofficial Secretary of The Daft Sod Club...
    Egads! I just got to this thread, and it's almost all said and done! Proof positive of just how very little my self-appointed role means to The Club... sheesh... Is it so much to ask for, a little appreciation?

    Dear J: As our esteemed Leader, President, Chief Executive Officer, whatever of The Club - I'd say only YOU can admit absolutely anyone of your own choosing. Of course, this should primarily apply only to your own family members. And, this infinite power over membership is often described as: NEPOTISM. Absolutely no other mere member (even lowly me, the only other with a title) can wield this ultimate control.

    Prior to today: Jamie, your own son, is already IN. Also, Jake - Margo's little guy - is also already IN (via the "grandfather" clause*).

    As of this moment - no further exceptions to the original two requirements for membership:
    1. Must be a participating member of this group - the ACS/CSN BC Board.
    2. Must use these two words at least once: DAFT SOD.

    1. & 2. above = automatic, and FREE, membership. As it always has been. No discrimination. All are welcome.

    With all that being stated - LOVE the idea of an The Daft Sod Club Auxiliary! WELL DONE, Lynn! Requirements should be:
    1. Recommendation from a current member of The Club.
    2. Admission FEE - and, and hefty one!
    3. Fundraising responsibilities, with a minimum requirement.
    If the auxiliary member does not meet these requirements: J, you get to KICK 'EM OUT... And, The Club gets to keep whatever money, anyway. And, of course, all money benefits the members of The Club - NOT including The Auxiliary.

    Kind regards, Susan

    P.S.: As the self-appointed Unofficial Secretary whose only task was to track membership, I admit - I've done a poor job. For a while, I was merely keeping a total count. Stopped a while back, at 15, I believe. Never kept track of names. However, I think Moopy and Joe - you've been IN The Club for a long time, almost since the beginning. Sorry, JeanneD - can't remember... Doesn't matter, because you're IN now via your post above. The turquoise font gives you extra points, too. (Points? What am I starting? No, I'm not gonna keep track of points, either.)

    *"grandfather" clause: J - this might be an American-ism. If you need further explanation, let me know...

    Can we give ourselves
    Can we give ourselves special daft sod names? I want to be Pete Moss. Someone could be Claude (Clod). I am sure the rest of the daft sods can think of others. Dirty Harry. Or maybe we are just Soil Sisters. I like the charging a hefty fee to others for our personal enjoyment. I just love clubs, especially exclusive ones. Like a country club but not snooty. We are down to earth. We can see what this is doing to me. More daft every minute. I also like the idea of marketing Daft Sod. Think of the advertising potential. We should John Cleese to do our commercial. Daft Sod is so Monty Pythonesque. By the way, he is one of my favorite people. I adored all the Monty Python stuff. And Benny Hill. And Mr. Bean. Perhaps it explains me a little. Maybe it explains me a little too much.
    I love all of you guys so much. Whenever I feel that I have a Hard Row to Hoe,you make me laugh and bring joy to my life. To all the daft sods, I raise my trowel in honor of our friendship. On a more serious note, if you take dirt and seed and add water you have life, so daft sods are truly survivors.

    You know it really doesn't
    You know it really doesn't take much to set up a non-for profit organization.. Just need to set up the Charter, and have a board of directors... a mission statement .. we could file articles of incorporation, that might be an interesting thought...can even get government funding... hum... you all might be on to something!

    All I know is, I am NOT going to be Claude OR Clod! Of course I was teased by 3 older brothers and was called Clod for years! The Trauma~ I think I need to go back to therapy (retail, of course!}

    I think Tasha, instead of President shoud be Mother Earth! LOL

    And I will be Sage...not only a plant used so often in all of the Native American ceremonies I am a part of, but doesn't Sage also mean Wise??? I like it! HAHAHAHA!

    I hadn't even thought about the Claudia, Clod, but I understand and Sage is great. I was always Stefanny with the emphasis on Fanny when I was teased. Sage and wise is definitely you.

    daft sod name...
    OK... mine is MUD! two reasons for this 1.) I am an "earth sign" & my wife is a "water sign" TA-DA guess what that makes (OH BTW - she's a real RED-HEAD ... so I guess instead of mud we would make BRICKS!) I crack me up! 2.) any of you familair with the "original" Star Trek... well I equate myself with Harry Mud. He is my hero, I think they created him after MY LIFE! (even though I wasn't even in puberty yet!)

    OK, sign me up....I want to start earning points. Does the Daft Sod store sell chocolate? :) Pammy

    Points? Not me...
    As the Unofficial Secretary of The Daft Sod Club - I refuse to keep track of points. Our Esteemed Leader, J, will have to nominate someone else - IF SHE decides to implement a Point System.

    I gave up trying to merely keep track of a total members number. Sheesh...

    Kind regards, Susan


    P.S. to Patty/outdoorgirl - You're IN! Because you used the two words: DAFT SOD. That's all is takes.

    Daft sods...
    You are all in the club (and I don't mean pregnant!)

    Pete Moss.......I think your Idea is excellent I shall call myself Rathsanjani Luxury-Liner 111. Or Joe King. Or even Ben Dover.

    I have the casting vote and in keeping with other posters suggestions have decided that my sister is NOT eligible for registration. She IS a Daft Sod, BUT, She IS NOT a member of this site.

    Voted OUT...Blackballed. Sorry Fiona. Sh-t happens LOLOL!

    I'll phone her later, like at 3 am her time and tell her that THE MOOPSTER
    voted her out because she didn't like her name! ROFLMAO! Blame it all on Moopy!

    I'll still ask her about the fundraising though! Ohhhhhhh I am such a mercinary Brat!

    Welcome all new members......You truly are Daft Sods......LUV YA ALL.

    Hugs Jxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Speaking of the Moopster...
    We're wondering... Can our dogs, our canine companions, be admitted to The Club? All dogs, naturally and by birthright, are sort of automatic DAFT SODS, aren't they?

    Or, do they need their own club: The Daft Sods Dog Club?

    What do YOU think, Esteemed Leader?

    Kind regards, Susan
    Unofficial Secretary of The Daft Sod Club

    P.S.: Not that my opinion matters one iota; but, nevertheless, I applaud your decision regarding your sister, Fiona. (Of course I do - because you're the BOSS!)

    AWESOME, J!
    See, THIS is exactly why you are THE Esteemed Leader! You are so far beyond the rest of us, in both wisdom and creativity.

    YES - ALL INCLUSIVE! Just like for us.

    Not limited to dogs - all pets of all of us Daft Sods are automatically IN.

    And since you've selected Schnugglepuss as the Unofficial Managing Director of P.O.D.S. - what office will Riva hold?

    Gosh, including all your Turquoise Aortus Guppies - P.O.D.S. already far outnumbers us Daft Sods. (No, I will NOT keep track of them, either.)

    Kind regards, Susan
    Newly Named OFFICIAL Secretary of The Daft Sod Club - I am truly honored, J.
    Thank you, Esteemed Leader extraordinaire!
