Lead Dog Catcher of the IACOJ.

[Temptaker]

Congradulations!!!!

Break out the Guinness. :D :p :D

No seriously I actually noticed on another post someone wanted to know how to reach the BMI. I think the thread had something to do with fraud, more specifically a guy posing as a fire fighter and selling stuff on Ebay. Sorry I don't remember who started the thread... looks like you guys have work already. :)

Temp

[1835Wayne]

Damn!!! An imposter already!! HFD66TRUCK, handle it!! I'm up to my you know what in paperwork already!!!:D ;)

[Adze39]

*sirens blaring in the background*

The Mutt alarm has just sounded!!!

Dave, does the BMI travel in one big SWAT team-type vehicle or do we travel seperately?

[StayBack500FT]

As your Traffic Control Officer, my first official duty will be a "Sign Safety" course. First lesson will be scene size-up and hazard considerations for the seasoned fire officer. Prerequesite: A "crusty" scab on the old kisser!!

[hfd66truck]

Stealth is the key to Mutt catching........single vehicle......one shot, one exposed.....no mutt is safe now that the BMI is in operation.

We do of course have an alternative firepower plan, kinda has the same effect as waiting too long to light your gas grill....ahhhh another topic for a post......:D

Dave

[firefighter26]

Oh man, I missed the election. My name didn't even make it onto any of the ballots. I knew I shouldn't have taken that trip to Florida!

Oh well, I guess my only hope is to report back to the staging area and hope that someone needs me as part of their team…

[StayBack500FT]

Firefighter26, I'll need an assistant for those times I've been rendered unconscious by road signs!!:D

[E229Lt]

You guys need a Bartender?

[hfd66truck]

I think Firefighter26 should be in charge of entertainment.

Hey LT, are you serving scotch?

Dave

[firefighter26]

Well, if anyone is familiar with fh.com chat, I was in charge of the bar and entertainment there until things got, well, lets say, a little out of hand and the bar was remodeled into a coffee room (they even took out the 20 person hot tub and stage, complete with brass pole.. I worked pretty hard to make sure that brass pole was nice and shinny :mad: ).

I am pretty much willing to take any opening offered, if the I.A.C.O.J. is willing to accept me.

[Temptaker]

I think firefighter26 should be an assistant in the BMI, he likes to play with small explosives.

Speaking of jobs... I am standing on my head in the corner again, waiting for someone to give me something to do. :)

[hfd66truck]

Temptaker,

There are more mutts in the world than we know what to do with. Feel free to join us in our quest to convert the mutts to free pure souls.........or erase their sorry a$$es from the face of the earth. 26 can handle the removal part....

Dave

[GENAFIRE]

Well, being a fiesty female,Im pretty good at interrogating people.lol...
Although Im not quite old enough to call myself crusty,I think my 7 years experience qualifies me as crispy on the edges or maybe half~baked...lol Toasted yah thats it, Toasted!
I join Temptaker in the corner, wanting to be apart of this Organization, offering my services ~available for anything you need done.
Gen
:D :p

[Temptaker]

hfd66truck

Thank you... I am truly honoured and I accept :)

[martinm]

I say chaps, would your Association have room for an overseas branch?

I'm pretty certain to have a window in my diary for any conventions or get togethers the Association may have planned on "your side of the pond"

P.S. Would one of you fellows be so kind as to explain the terminology of a "mutt" as they are usually stray dogs in this part of the world.

Yours with regards
:D :D :D

[CaptainGonzo]

MartinM...

It is the International Association of Crusty Old Jakes...we are in dire need of representation on the other side of the pond, consider yourself to be "encrusted"...we also need reps from Down under, how about it, Fierys?

A mutt is anyone who does not support their local firefighters or impedes them in the performance of their duties (on both the physical (those who harass firefighters while they are working) and fiscal fronts, (ie. the politicians who tell you one thing and do another) or someone who abuses the services that we provide...for example, a "frequent flyer" for medical emergencies who refuses to take their medications or care of themselves and call you in the middle of the night because "they have a headache"...then they refuse treatment or transport to a hospital, the people you have to constantly cite for code volations, those who refuse to cooperate with you, etc.

[martinm]

Captain Gonzo,

You Sir are most kind and quite correct I am very, very crusty.

Thank you for including me in your ranks. I look forward to receiving my membership details, tie, (you do have a club tie don't you, all the best ones do), and monthly newsletter.

[Temptaker]

Tie ??? :confused:

Haven't gotten consensus on which patch everyone like better, or if it should be something different.

Temp

[GENAFIRE]

CAPTAIN GONZO,
Sir,I was wondering if you had anything I could do? I am very artistic and have designed several custom T-shirts(I airbrush),pictures,posters logo's,even tattoos for people. I offer my talent if you have any ideas you would like to illustrate or any logo or cartoon character or anything you want drawn up. I can recreate any drawings or pictures or create from scratch whatever you like.If you are interested send me a PM including a pic of what you want or description,or a way to get ahold of you so we can talk...
I would be honored to do this,and of course at no cost for whatever design I produce.
I hope to hear from you soon:D :D
Sincerely,
Gen

[martinm]

Dear Temptaker,

I was refering to a necktie, with perhaps a smart logo or Association badge printed on it. We crusty Brits are very fond of our ties.

P.S. Please. not a black clip on one such as I have to wear with my dress uniform. :( ;)

[hfd66truck]

Hey Martin,

Check out this link.......this is where the mutt terminology originated.

[MOTOWN88]

Congratulations to all of our appointed and elected officials. Although I am not sure where I have landed as far as position. I think I need clarification me head is still a bit foggy from a record setting GUINNESS weekend. May I suggest the first mutt we hunt down is they guy who was throwing shots at me as I rode my motorcycle through my neighborhood. I guess kevlar will have to be part of my riding apparel from now on.

[PuffyNPFD]

I am honored to be on the board of directors of this fine organization. Thanks to all. Let's remember the crusty
jakes before us and to continue old crusty, salty spirit
that we have vowed to carry on.

[Temptaker]

martinm

I know you were talking about a necktie. Actually in thinking about a necktie, although I have never designed one before. I may have to add another the patch so together they would be more esthetically pleasing.

I'll get back to you with it....

[superchef]

I am honored to be the Food Engineer for this great crew. Perhaps a banquet is in order for our first meeting? Let me know.

An appetizer buffet for everyone out there.........

Brushetta of Cherry Tomatoes

Stuffed Baby Potatoes (assorted red, purple, gold potatoes)

Rigatoni with Tomato basil mushroom sauce

Warm Goat Cheese Salad with Grilled Olive Bread

Miniature Assorted Vegetable Quiches

I will also be needing one or two assistants to help with the slicing and dicing.

Chili (added at the request of Chief Reason).


I am always open to any and all requests, post here, email me or send me a PM. ;) :D

[ChiefReason]

HiHo IACOJ members one and all:
Chief Reason here. I would be honored to fill in for JTL until his return in July. Officers and Board, please let me know.
Temptaker; GENAFIRE is offering assistance on IACOJ designer items. Perhaps you could collaborate.
BMI; I think that it is imperative that we get a crew to Utica, NY. More later.
Superchef; I thought that we agreed that every meal would be served with a side dish of chili?
Captain Gonzo; do you have any orders for me?
1835wayne; maybe we can consolidate the IACOJ threads?
If we do a newsletter, who will serve as editorial board? There are alot out there wanting to help.
All for now.
Gotta check out another thread.
IMACOJ and proud of it.

[SPFDRum]

I would like to be one of the first to support Chief Reason in continuing the duties of JTL while he is on the lamb ;). Another proud memeber of the IMACOJ!

[1835Wayne]

Perhaps we should go ahead and start a website for ourselves like the F.O.O.L.S. site. I have a friend who does this sort of thing. Let me know here on this thread or by PM or e-mail.
If we do this, I think we should accept pictures of members helmets and use the CRUSTIEST of them on the opening page!!:D

Esteemed Pres. Gonzo, what say you??:D :cool:

[superchef]

Chief Reason

My apologies. I'll go back and add chili.

1835Wayne

I'll put my vote in for the website. Make it much easier for me to keep track of who I have to feed :D ;)

[Steamer]

1835wayne-
Aye on the website. Sounds like a natural progression in the evolution of "The Crust". :D :D

[Man-o-fire]

Neck-tie-NO WAY!!!!

Ties are an evil invention of misguided feminists of either gender. Real men don't wear them. don't want them, don't need them! Design a ball-cap instead, make it leather. To quote the King of Sweden "I don't need no snake around my neck". Import him and the Swedish 'Bikini Team'.

[Temptaker]

Gen... you heard it here, neckties for England, ball caps for US. I'm sure that we could throw in a t-shirt or two as well. Be glad to have your help if you are still interested.

superchef... that was great thanks. :) I'll get the dishes.

[martinm]

I will bow to the needs of the masses. Baseball caps all round it is then.

PS the chilli was delicious & lost nothing on the journey. :p

[PuffyNPFD]

I too have an aye for the website. Also I support Chief Reason to
fill in for JTL. One of the few who could fill the shoes.

[StayBack500FT]

Newsletter??? Creative writing??? I have been known to jot down a few creative things from time to time. Let me know what I can do.

E-Mail: StayBack500FT@firehousemail.co m or PM

[leatha4eva]

Look! its hfd66truck and chief reason from the Bureau of Mutt Investigation!!

http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~pringle/bluesbros/pictures/poster2.jpeg

sorry guys, i couldn't help it!

steve

[Temptaker]

SB500... you'd be great for a news letter. :)

I also support Chief Reason filling in for JTL until his return, and another aye for the website.

leatha4eva... nice pic hehe:D

Ok so ball caps it is then. Should they be departmental issue or standard? Meaning, should the BMI have their own or just one for the IACOJ? I think it is safe to assume they should be leather. I will do up another patch, and then maybe we could do a poll on which one is best, or if you would like something else all together.

1835wayne can I leave the poll in your hands once I have posted the third patch? Maybe they should all be shown together to make the voting easier.

Captain Gonzo... or more correctly Pres. Gonzo, did you have any idea that this thread would have this kind of response???

[DENNIS1975]

my congratulations to president Gonzo
vice president, Mongofire99
and the rest of the appointments

I also support chief Reason for jtl until his return and another aye for the website

temptake
I think it would be easier to vote on the patches after seeing all three and a membership to make a final vote

superchef
my compliments of the high, after banquet like that what can I say, you or the BEST

ladies and gentlemen or
EMS and firefighters
I await my assignment
Dennis

[superchef]

Chief Reason gets my vote as JTL'S standin.

Martinm, Temp, Dennis

Thanks for the compliments. I am working on breakfast as I write. Chief Reason, you don't want chili for breakfast do you?

To Prez Gonzo,, VP Mongo and officers and executives and crew, be safe everyone. The aroma of warm cinnamon rolls (homemade I might add) will be your wakeup call. ;)

Breakfast is served............

Sweet Pepper & Garlic Omelets

Buttermilk Waffles served with your choice of..

Spiced peaches and raspberries

Blueberry compote

Carmelized bananas

Cinnamon rolls warm and fresh from the oven

;) hope this brightens everyone's morning

[fflynn17]

Does the I.A.C.O.J. have a mentoring program?:D

I hope it's ok if I pull up a chair and just listen, I have some crust and I'm old, but my crust isn't that old.

I'll be happy to clean the rec room, wash the trucks, and pack the hose!!

Seriously, if any of you don't mind your brains being picked, I am a new Lt. in my dept. and I am working hard to get up to speed. It would be extremely helpful if I could PM a few scenarios to a C.O.J. to help!

PM me if you can spare a few minutes!

[E229Lt]

For the sake of prosperity

bump :D

[MalahatTwo7]

MAN! And we thought Josh was the Master of Digging Old Threads.... 2002 NO less! :D:D

[1835Wayne]

Ahhhhhhhhhh................ But a classic for sure!!!!!

[RspctFrmCalgary]

Ahhhhhhhhhh................ But a classic for sure!!!!!

Definitely! When Artie posted this link on IACOJ, I decided to come here and do a search. Something like 934 threads came up under IACOJ! Quite the little trip down memory lane. And rather interesting to see how it all came about. Didn't know you were the one who suggested a website in the first place, Wayne. Or if I did know, I'd forgotten. Heyyyyyyyyyy no cracks about old age, thank you very much!!!! :eek:

[CALFFBOU]

The two elected post for Bou-

1. Phenix 1500 Fire helmet Rep.

2. 48x96 work schedule Rep.
