Fantastic word game

Do not worry about calling women idiots about their purses, WMC, because as you know we in the Fun Department never cease to be amazed by the number of people who do not take crime prevention measures, and in fact, do not even educate themselves about the goings on all about them in plain view, but rather have decided that since they are not involved in such ne'er do wellery, to be a bit slangy, there is no reason for them to know or learn.

I mean, they leave the inside of their homes all lit up with drapes open, and the outside of their homes dark; they think that gang tagging is just some bored kids with a can of spray paint engaged in silly graffiti (but is a warning not only to other gang bangers, but to the community and to the police as well); a shopping bag left by the curb is no big deal; on and on it goes, dear Game Czar. They are not idiots, however. They just suffer from Head In Sand Syndrome because there are loftier matters to be tended to. When we see something we say something. If we are politely and quietly ignored and pooh poohed, we know it will have to be dealt with after it has gotten worse. It's kind of like a new world of project literacy. :)
 
For them to know or learn, I suggest we have a day-long safety seminar but before we can do that we should really appoint someone to serve as Head of Security and Safety so I'm wondering if any of our regular contributors would like to suggest a nomination.
 
A nomination of a nominee should include people who can understand Sign Language, so if anyone can locate him we could throw Willie with his hand jive into the nomination proceedings, and while we are at it, you should have seen the chump with the little camera tripod doing selfies of his totally unbalanced and undisciplined bobbing, weaving, punching, kicking and carrying on in the field.

So sad to see that even band camp has come into perilous times, but we can deal with it. We could have taken a single finger and knocked field boy right over.
 
A Sunday afternoon football game might be going on at the stadium next door, since football has overlapped with baseball, but my O's womped WMC's Red Sox two games in a row so far, although it did take 13 innings on that second one <yawn>
 
Although it did take 13 innings on that second one <yawn>, I didn't see it because I was sound asleep at that point with visions of lovely young library interns dancing around in my head.
 
Dancing around in my head is the notion that I should have edited my last post with some punctuation.
 
Punctuation takes a back seat in today's world of 140 characters.

I nominate dmargalotti as Head of Safety and Security (HOSS as some prefer) so he can keep an eye out for aliens since he already knows what they look like.

And, hey, folks, for those that are unaware of it, or perhaps have forgotten about it, don't forget we have TFWG2 going on at another site where we definitely need some additional traffic. For those unaware of it, send me a private message and I'll let you know where to go.
 
140 characters or fewer per post is thankfully the exception here rather than the rule, but then, in most fora 3000+ pages is that as well, and looking at the header to your post above, WMC, it won't be much longer before the thread's post count reaches 2^15.

Or 32768 to those outside the world of the computer lab. A rather important number in binary computing, being exactly one-half (binary 10 00 00 00 00 00 00 00/hex 8000) the upper mathematical limit of 16-bit address space (binary 11 11 11 11 11 11 11 11/hex FFFF). I want to be around to witness it when the magic event happens, as I did some years back when we hit post #2^14. Which makes me wonder, will the thread overflow and automatically close down when somebody tries to post #32769, or will we have to wait until it gets to 2^16+1?

It will be time for another celebration when the one and only Miss Olivia Newton-John performs another free concert for the band camp kids.

WMC, I'm humbled by your nomination for Head of Safety and Security (HOSS). However, given my current duties as International Director of Band Camp (IDBC), I'm not sure I could serve in that capacity. I think scanman1 deserves a chance. Would anyone care the second the nomination?
 
The band camp kids have seconded and carried scanman1 as Head of Safety and Security (HOSS as we pretty much unanimously prefer), and they marched around the band camp carrying him and singing his praises as the jolly good fellow.
 
The jolly good fellow certainly deserves the appointment but he's going to have his hands full keeping tabs on the hooligans, ruffians, punks, and trouble makers who occasionally show up at band camp.
 
The hooligans, ruffians, punks, and trouble makers who occasionally show up at band camp, along with bands of marauding hoodlums, can be put on the send but it will require keen discernment and vigilance as the price of our freedom as a band camp, to paraphrase any number of famous Americans throughout history.
 
Famous Americans throughout history attended our band camps as youngsters and now their youngsters are enjoying the fruits of our labor.

So scanman has been nominated and seconded. We need to hear from scanman on whether he accepts the nomination. The nominee will work with Darth (Director of Internet Security) on occasion. Unless Darth wants the HOSS position as well. I would have nominated Darth in the first place but Darth really isn't physically around campus all that much. So let's wait to hear from scanman since we've nominated him.
 
The fruits of our labor should now be picked, mixed up in a salad, and enjoyed as an after-lunch snack.

Hey, I'll take that HOSS position! I've held a couple of real-life job positions in the past doing building security.
 
Snack time at band camp does not follow the trend of our public schools where good old favorites and standby's are replaced by healthier alternatives so kids, break out the Oreo's, Ho Ho's, and Twinkies if you've got 'em!
 
Break out the Oreo's, Ho Ho's, and Twinkies if you've got 'em, throw in some Suzy-Qs, and don't forget the lounge will be offering fresh, homemade banana creme pie, naturally made with real whipping cream and pure vanilla extract, since we like to offset those sweets with some wholesome dairy products.
 
Dairy products do not agree with me as I am lactose intolerant but I do manage to enjoy some ice cream once in a while as long as I take a few lactaid tablets beforehand.

scanman has accepted the nomination which was seconded and he has been approved the by the Board of Governors as our new Head of Safety and Security (HOSS as we all prefer). And, so, this leads me to give a rundown of our Executive Board which I know we all enjoy seeing although I won't be mentioning the all important rule rundown this time:

WMC -- Game Czar and Director of TPS Reports (took them over when quad left; if he ever comes back, he'll take them back; sadly, he won't be back on this site due to circumstances beyond our control)
dmargalotti -- International Director of Band Camp
Miss Silkie -- Head Librarian; Chief Mixologist; Director of Fun; Owner/Manager of Miss Silkie's Tasty Tidbits
Darth_Vader -- Director of Internet Security
scanman -- Head of (physical) Safety and Security
JeffM: Didn't we make Jeff the new Director of Fun Factoids? Or was that someone else? I can't remember.

Did I miss anyone??
 
Beforehand, I got indoors before the approaching big thunderstorm began its downpour of rain.

My first day on the job and I've already had to chase a kid out who snuck onto campus with a dirt bike and started tearing up the lawn!

I believe you're right about Jeff being the new guy in charge of fun factoids, WMC. He's certainly a great candidate for the position if he actually isn't!
