A little side note here. Saint Patrick was the Fourth Century's Green Ops member of the PJG, sent to Ireland to chase down a time-travelling, dimension hopping Snake Pliskin. Unfortunately, rain had fallen on his orders and he misread them, causing him to banish all snakes from Ireland rather than complete his real mission of hunting Snake Pliskin.

People were so thrilled by this though that they yearly drink green beer and have colorful squirts later in honor of this great an noble PJG member.
Well that's just silly....Well done, DreadHonkey!

It was born in the off season on the old DC.com and it was truly an organization who's time had come. We didn't go off the rails, there weren't any, we were toddlers with the rails off our playpens.

Rob Phillips, fresh off his trip to the islands for the Cheerleaders calendar shoot had strained an eye and it was half shut which was not lost on me, was assigned the thankless task of Topic of the Day. Not only did he not enjoy that task, he quit it after the PJG attacked every Topic he posted and created our own with thought provoking thread titles like "Random Thoughts" or my personal favorite, "This thread is about nothing at all". We did 8 pages trying to define nothing and could never agree on nothing. But we agreed to proceed anyway.

We were so poised for posting anarchy that Streetwise, known then as G2, posted three simple words that set us on a tangent some are still on, "I like bacon". We had a 100 page bacon thread with photos to make you drool. Of course, most of us were already drooling idiots.

Most of our mods were members we'd known before the dark side engulfed them and they were having too much fun to shut us down and we were actually nicer towards each other when not discussing the Cowboys, particularly Romo. So, they just left us to our own devices as long as matches weren't involved.

DE, it was a great time and you would have enjoyed it, except for moderating it. My first day on that site, a member told me to stay on topic and I thought 'hell, I am on topic, my topic'. I came there to share what was on my mind, just so happens there were usually several unrelated things on my mind, that others could relate to. If an idle mind is the Devil's playground, he'd leave my jungle gym shaking his head.

Man, what a great time and a great bunch of people and if not for that off the rails experience I do not think we get to know one another as we do and the support was terrific. And that is how I became an addict to these forums.

Now, tell the story about Snake Plisken’s green poop.

Sounded like fun. We did something here that was not the same but had its own "awards" theme nonetheless:

https://cowboyszone.com/threads/2009-cowboyszone-awards-complete-winners-list-post-421.155102/

That thread is so old that the images I created for award winners, etc., were hosted on Photobucket, which I abandoned long ago lol.

It’s a brotherhood of stoned absurdists, drunken perverts, and the comically insane, designed to entertain, as well as confound those over serious “realists” who have lost the ability to stop and smell the Roses. Couch Coach is our Grand Poobah, probably because his brain works better. Plus, he has a Hugh Hefner robe, a giant snifter of adult beverage, bikini-clad companions 24/7, and rich, Corinthian leather. Legend has it his den contains many leather bound books, smells of rich mahogany, and a canine friend named Baxter. The PJG has several members of high standing, including Runwildboys, Streetwise, DM, gp_cowpolk, and several other outlaws, each with way too many meaningless titles that carry no weight, that we regard with respect.

To join…
1)Down two shots of your Fave adult beverage.
2)Find an elderly couple in a grocery story, buy them each a Twix bar, then scream “Life is good”! Then run, laughing, from the store.
3)Log on here, and type “old people rock”!

You’re in! Initiation involves the following: the first time you encounter a perpetually miserable realist portending doom and gloom, acting like they are more enlightened and actually have partial control of what the team does, revolt. Say something funny and unrelated. Give ‘em humor, hope and friendship, and if that doesn’t work, get drunk!

Next: Titles!

Ah, see, right off the bat that's completely different. The PJG had only one rule: There is to be no organization of thoughts...Of course, there was no punishment for breaking that rule, and despite all the different officers and titles, nobody had any authority (imagined or otherwise) over anyone else. Couchcoach was elected Grand Poobah, despite there never having been a vote. We founding fathers simply gave him no option to refuse, even if he'd wanted to.

I chose the option to refuse counseling!

Incidentally, you're in now and have no choice. Sorry, but not really. If you want a title, talk to the Minister of assigning meaningless titles. I don't remember who that is this week. It's probably our Grand Poobah's turn.

Oh, and just to let you know, I'm very embarrassed for some of you. This staying on topic barbaricity has got to stop. It's bad enough when it happens for a post, but an entire thread? I think all of you should wait a moth is using his little antennae thingie to suck juice out of an early flower. Cool beans.

I believe ES has the final say on bestowing titles, but we can make suggestions. I vote for Officer of Excessively Deep Posts/Graphics.
