    We are awaiting your command Captain Panache. Just give us the signal and we'll be securing the area in a flash.

    Now hold on a minute,Jamie! I can't go into action improperly dressed, now can I? In this part of the world its nearly winter and there are no dandelions. Now does this mean that we are expected go into action improperly dressed? Or, are we only expected to operate for six months a year? Was the non issue of a synthetic dandelion an oversight by the management? Are we expected to provide our own? NO! DON'T ANSWER THAT ONE!

    As our stalwart Captain led the more obvious assault, I silently crept through the shadows, looking for the rear entrance. I found the nearly hidden door and waited for my signal.

    Finally, I heard it, the sound of a door splintering. Big Mikey had crashed through the front door. That was my signal to enter.

    With a quick flick of the lock pick, I gently opened the door and slipped inside.

    "Dove is in," I whispered into my throat mike and quietly moved through the building in search of our target.

    Cool your jets Errol, KD Burke has not joined to Order of the Dandelion. He remains at this point an impostor. As captain of the Saltire and keeper of the gin might I suggest that you check the roster for the absence of his name and dues! Geesh! Any chance for you to pull out that rubber phallic symbol out to go and "save the world form nefarious ne'er-do-wells" really burns my butt not to mention precious and expensive fuel. More money spent on petroleum distillates means less money for pink kilts!

    Not wanting to hijack this thread into a personal photothread but for me the Order of the Dandelion is all about recognising fellow x-markers across the ocean.

    left to right Cessna152towser, Chas, ACaig, KiltedKnome and Steve Ashton the Wizard of BC all here in my home town of Hawick, Scotland.

    Or at the Edinburgh gathering, three 'mericans and two Scots, Maelcoluim, TamBlackwood, Cessna152towser, Old Hiker and Luckey.
    We would not have found one another in the crowd had it not been for the dandelions we were wearing.

    Or go to England, Cessna152towser, EnglishBloke, Chas and PhilTibbetts

    In USA, SoCalFerg and his lovely wife Phyllis with LAscotswoman

    The lovely Sydnie7, she of Flamingo Kilts.

    LAscotswoman and Cessna152towser

    Of course, in fairness, I should also add our Canadian friends, except we tend to forget to wear our dandelions while in Canada.
    left to right Cessna152towser, MrsMacMan, MacMan, BigMikey, KiltedReverend. Steve Ashton the Wizard of BC and Raphael, in Victoria, British Columbia.

    In Hamilton, Ontario,
    MacMoose, Wompet, McMurdo, cessna152towser, ccg3359 he of the rubber chicken sporran fame, and MacHummel.
    Truly the Order of the Dandelion symbolises international friendship!!!!
