After much thought, contemplation and soul searching a person has been chosen...and it has not been an easy path this year.
This years inductee into the Order of Coconuts shall remain secret even to the recipient.
As always the first step is finding the perfect coconut that reflects the person it's being given to.
So take a look into the mirror kind gentles. Is it you?

When did the gofer from cadishack join the group?
hmm, too tan for me I'm thinking...
Looks like it could use a good shave...
The left eye looks a tad like a certain orifice that I have been called from time to time but I don't think it's me, I'm a much bigger orifice!
Baron,
Upon what criteria is the Order of the Coconut recipient chosen? Or is this, too, shrouded in mystery?

Good question Peggy.
As with any important decision that may affect the lives of many a search committee is formed.
This happened last March...

Left to right... Ed, Pip, Squeaky, cabbage and Will.
I don't know who it might be. But I'm suddenly craving corned beef and cabbage.
ahhh, yes the committee meeting, wherein a lot is talked about, but not much gets done. I know them well.
Nice Baron,
I see the bottle of Cutty shark there.... there be the soul of a pirate in you matty.... little more Rum and you'll be say'n Arrrr.....
A public service announcement: When rum is added to a persons scotch system it may result in loud obnoxious behavior followed by questionable picture and lack of memory the next morning. That is all you may return to your mundane duties.
This service announcement brought to you by the anti-scotch league of rum drinking pirates. If it ain't Arrrrr then its getting pillaged.

You keep your rum outta my scotch... It can be place in a glass beside it. That's two great tastes that DON'T taste great together, seperately thats a different story. AAAAARrrrr.
No problem... wouldn't want to waste perfectly good Rum by mixing it with Scotch.... :P
Ahhhh that was the reason!
Scotch having a ph- kinda thing and rum having a...wait a second...

Lonn is someone I've always admired.
He is someone that has promoted the idea of the faire, more than you will ever know.
(http://patsporch.com/temp/mb02.jpg)
A tireless effort by a really good person.
(http://patsporch.com/temp/mb03.jpg)
Just a simple "Thank you Majkibox!" Hey that light bulb is out! Could you get that Lonn?

Mum,
The winner was my daughter Lauren (girlchild)
In an effort to keep the spirit of ren alive for the next generation. Or something to that effect. Lauren was tickled pink to win.
MG was a close second and the recipient of the lovely be-yotch (sp?) goblet.
I have pictures from a distance . . . I'll try to post them tonight.

I tried to get a few of the speech before hand, but my camera decided it didn't want to focus yet.
There's my sweet girl. I forgot my camera on the counter Saturday, so I didn't get any either.
Rage, she is bossy isn't she? She wouldn't be if she didn't care.

Me neither, but I already feel sorry for first boyfriend. He will have to have balls of steel to keep up with her. ;D
Me thinks I may have been the one out of focus Erynn.

Josh already asked when he can buy a gun to clean when the said boyfriend arrives to pick her up.
This out of his mouth-he usually detests his little sister.
okay these are the shots I had, from a distance.

She definitely has a few extra god fathers to watch out for her, doesn't she? God help any guy that screws around with her.
Some God fathers and some pirates... ;)
You guys make me laugh.
Yes, she has plenty of extra "Uncles", "Godfathers" and "Pirate Uncles" to scare off any yucky boyzes.

Not to mention that most of us are armed rather heavily too.
