Robert, that sounds like a plan! And yes, please do return the official BOC cricket bat. We have new members to initiate, and one in particular that we are going to initiate the hell out of.

.Hauksbee, sorry but no cut-outs as you either order all of them that way or none of them that way. However, consider this: The early RFC badges did not have cut-outs, nor did any of the Prussian or Bavarian pilot badges. Well then...since that was the way it was back in the day, who am I to break with hallowed tradition? Where do we send the money, Lou?
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But in practice, there is.

. I have you down for two pins ARUP. OK folks, of the 24 BOC members who have given me their orders for pins I still need mailing addresses for the following: DukeIronHand, Panama Red, Rick_Rawlings, Crimson Tide, carrick58, SteveW, Smosh, Maeran, and CaptSopwith. Currently, 52 pins are spoken for which means we still have 48 available. Plenty of time yet to put in an order for your very own. .

RAF_Lou, I sent you my address via pm. Can't wait to see them! OK, so now I've got my rattlesnake sting just about ready, so we can all just let 'er rip, I say. Now just keep that cricket flyswatter away from me, oh, all right, I get it, all the new guys gotta pay their dues. All's well then! Take care now, Steve

Dej, I now have you down for three pins total Sir. And hopefully your wife will see it as a gift of fine jewelry, provided she's a touched as you are.
Steve, got it Sir. As for the cricket bat portion of the proceedings, take solace in the fact that once you've been initiated you have the option of swinging said bat when the next new member arrives. Now where's my three fingers of rattlesnake sting?

Received the PM Maeran, thanks. As for participating in the game of cricket, I agree completely with your assessment. While in England I once watched a cricket match, or rather five hours of one during just one day of the ordeal. Much like The Great War it went on forever, and the cost in time, resources, and lives seemed so pointless. Fortunately it was back in my drinking days and they were serving alcoholic beverages which did help to make the whole thing more - palatable. "Cor, 'ats a wicked googly!" (shouted at the time in my best, drunken, butchered English accent)

RAF_Lou Three fingers of rattlesnake sting coming up, , , oops! where'd that damn snake go? Well, maybe no more rats for a while. Who's next in line? I'll defend the wickets with full gusto! A few years back I had a wonderful golf partner, an older gentleman, (older, not me, of course) who grew up in Belfast,NI and had been living in the US for some time. One day I asked him to explain cricket to me, well as it turned out to my good fortune the wind was blowing that day and as he still had that melodic NI accent I couldn't understand a word be said. Better for us to talk golf, we both spoke that language. Hit it straight and hit it hard. Next patrol is when? , , , Steve

Lou, I just had a creative moment of thought. What say you to imbedding one of the BWOC badges into an appropriate spot on the cricket bat so that when licks are administered to new recruits they would have a nice reminder of the proceedings

That is a thought Robert, and a fair barmy one at that. I imagine though that the large, lineal welts raised about on various portions of our new recruits' bodies is likely reminder enough. Don't want to cause permanent scarring, at least not physical.
