Sure, I don't know why they gave it to me.

As a proud Irishman I have no interest in such things whatsoever.

Article 40, section 2 of the Irish Constitution states in full:

1° Titles of nobility shall not be conferred by the State.

2° No title of nobility or of honour may be accepted by any citizen except with the prior approval of the Government.

So, I'll humbly accept @TalonRider's bestowing of the shiny upon myself, and shall keep it safely locked away until passing it on to whomsoever gets to possess it in the future.

Congratulations @Marty! Incredibly worthy of carrying the crown! As the Hangover Pirate said, enjoy it while you can.

Interestingly, he cannot actually use the title "Sir" when he is in Ireland.

It's locked away in a secure safety deposit box until the next person is awarded it.

Just hope I don't die beforehand, as I am the only one who knows where the safety box is, and the only one who knows the combination to reopen it.

Can I be that person and say it's at the end of the rainbow?

Also, I was raised by hardcore Boy Scouts! I don't need no stinkin' combination to open it... just need a pocket knife or my lockpicking kit.

Hard core...?

I've heard tales about some of the things that boy scouts get up to at times...

 

[TalonRider]

The Barbecue and Mimosa come from the Day Calendar for today so it didn't take much to come up with a menu.

I know! You'd be surprised how quickly we could build a trebuchet. 

[Daddydavek]

Diet Coke and Chicken and dumplings from the Cracker Barrel...somehow BBQ and Mimosas sounds better.

Congrats to our resident leprechaun.

I reckon that wasn't the only thing you were erecting.

Tents and flags. I was the fastest tent-pitcher in the troop!

And back to the mighty, morphin, majestic Raptor once again so early in the morning.

Idaho will be giving away Graduation Tassels, Cherry Cobbler, and Walnuts. That is, providing the Pack Rats don't get to them first.

Pack rats, eh? At least I have allies. 

Pardon me, just left work in a snarky and disgusted attitude after my supervisor smarted off to me. A very wrong decision considering our stock crew is in employment shambles...

...I've had a very long day. Toggles & woggles? I'm going to say no since I have no clue what either of those two things are.

Woggle (noun): a loop or ring, usually made of leather or cord, through which the ends of a Scout's neckerchief are threaded.

Toggle (noun):  a short rod of wood or plastic sewn to one side of a coat or other garment, pushed through a hole or loop on the other side and twisted so as to act as a fastener.

Had the woggle and toggle stuff back in Cub Scout days. Only dork Boy Scouts wore them after 6th grade.
