I am VERY Proud... To Anounce...

The third quarterly, Semi-Annual half moon... er...

TRF MEMBERS ADMITTED TO THE DORKLEHEAD CLUB!!!!!!




Yes... TRFers... it's that time of year... quarter... whatever, it's THAT time again! The Dorklehead Officers and myself (President) have considered .. well.. NUMEROUS applications.... (both of them) and spent countless.... seconds, methodically going over each applicants qualities, benefits and over all - Dorklheadedness to narrow our list down and have finally reached a decision. The list is short, but I think that just goes to show you how difficult earning the right to call yourself a Dorklehead really is! So, without further A dew... Here is the list of newly anointed Dorkleheads:

1. Paul, our buddy from the UK (BH13GMT). Listen, anyone willing to even suggest he wore a suit like the one he posted in my hiking thread has definitely earned DORKLEHEAD status! Congrats Paul!

2. Matt (Matt4Hands). Yes Matt, it was close with you for a while, the panel debated back and forth... but... after showing us your injurys from common house-hold projects, (something myself as President of the Dorklehead club has LOTS of experience with) it pretty much sealed the deal. Welcome to the club Matt!

Before I come to the last member admitted... I wanted to briefly go over one applicant that... well... we just could not admit; Lisa. She is elegant, succesful, inteliganent-... intalectgnt- .... intelalgente- .... smart, a wonderful mother, wife () just an incredible woman and person... She just showed none of the qualities we Dorkleheads pride ourselves on Well, better luck next year Lisa....

And now, with the final recipient of Dorklehead status....


3. JOCKE WOO HOO!!!!!

Now, do I really need to explain HIS admission qualifications? Jocke, my friend, you have made it. You, are a CERTIFIED DORKLEHEAD.

I want to offer my congratulations to all the new members! And for those that didn't make the cut, keep trying!


Now, for the Dorklehead Oath... " I State your name, do solemly swear to uphold Dorklehead status, with liberty and justice for all, till death do us part."


Isn't this a great day everyone!?

Listen, Mark and Rafiel, of course not!!!! You guys are both succesful, smart, professional people with common sense! With THOSE qualities... it's going to be very difficult to get admitted to the Dorklehead club. But please, don't give up, there's always next year- er.. quarter- week.

Look, matey-boy...

I've ridden a racehorse naked with snow on the ground! (and I've got the photos to prove it!)

If that doesn't prove I've long since checked my brain at the door, I don't know what does!

I feel I should wait for a Go/No Go from a mod!

I should say that the ones for public consumption all have carefully positioned elbows, horses neck, etc...

Being as it was about -5C it certainly wasn't my "proudest" moment!

can i just say that i feel that this years judging was particularly strict and that any other year lisa,s composition..." feet in the air with curtain pole background" would have guaranteed her an automatic entry. better luck next time lisa.

Paul. If he's even slightly threatening to post those pictures it might be prudent to just give him automatic status. (please don't let us down on this one)

That being said, and if Lisa decides to run with this same angle, then we might want to allow any photo's of her riding naked to be published so that other members could possibly help you out with your decision making process.

Having ridden it might get you in.......Posting the pictures would, I imagine, almost certainly get you in!

Ok, ok, you asked for it!

I just hope this isn't a conspiracy to get me banned!!!

Those of a sensitive disposition, look away now...!




C'mon, Paul... Surely that has to get me in!?!

(Just to explain, this was done as a charity stunt to raise money for the UK Injured Jockeys Fund... I didn't JUST do it for fun!)

Look you'd have to - and admit to - throwing away your wallet on the train. Then drag the garbage off the train and dig through it ...

... oh yeah, while in a suit!!

Besides, Raf, you left the military on your own ...
