The Order of the Dandelion: A Quest for the Truth! (Or Victorian Hyperbole...)

[cessna152towser]

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.

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!!!!

Alert! All Dandelions to arms!

One of our fellowship is in Peril!

Launch the XMTSAS Saltire and sound the klaxxon alarm!


Help is on the way!

Hold the line!


Cheers

Standing at the ready, Captain!

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!

What ... let me see that roster ... A's, B's, (flipping pages) I's, J's, K's ... hmm, nope - no KD Burke listed here ... well, as long as I'm up I'll rescue the dog ...
