I felt the urge to post here on April the first, don't know why.
I sure hope you are not insinuating that this group or topic is a joke. There has been a great deal of productive discussion around thread counts and heal designs. This group is focused and on point with general observations and feedback. They are also a very supportive encouraging group. For example, I recently moved 3 fine gentlemen into my basement, who by the way desparately needed new socks, because they fell on hard times. They said they were members of this fine group when I asked with my window down as I drove by their terribly dirty street. They very proudly said yes, and I of course offered up my basement to help. They have been quite pleasant down there. I was even going to offer them some knives to borrow, but seemed to have forgotten what drawer I keep them in since they were not in the drawer that I suspected they should be in. I'll figure that out later. They could be mixed in with some electronics I seemed to have misplaced. Anyways, these Gentlemen (who I haven't yet matched up their names to the MNOSD register) are fine examples of what this order is all about. Even the guy down there that is always in a tank top (either tie died brown or in desparate need of a good washing) and yelling some words that I will need to look up. Possibly some old jargon of the great order.

Hope this helps.

First off, since I don't know what the word 'insinuating' means, I didn't do it; or if I did, nobody saw me do it, and they can't prove anything.

And second, I've been meaning to thank you for allowing me and my two pals to hang out in your basement. It's true, we had fallen on hard times and were in desperate need of socks, and alcohol. The knives you are unable to locate were in the second and third drawers down, say my two compadres. Your knives (along with several electrical components we found, while you were at work) are now being held at the local pawn shop for safe-keeping, if you care to collect them there.

Thirdly, yes, the brown-streaked and fragrant undershirts we wear are actually an official uniform of ours, would you like one for yourself? If you can lend me an undershirt and some chewing tobacco, I can prepare you an official uniform of your own in about a month. We think it would be neat if everyone in our M-SNOD group, or whatever you call it, could look the same with matching attire. Aside from the tall socks and the brown undershirts, we are also considering the addition of boxers or briefs, but we don't have a consensus on that yet--the vocal minority is complaining that both boxers and briefs are too restricting.

Fourth, we are now out of alcohol. Can you kindly ask the missus to pick up, say, ten gallons of malt liquor and wine on her next shopping trip? All three of us say thanks, and other things, at the top of our lungs.

Ok, first this made me laugh the hardest and I don't even know why. Maybe because I have been there.

Second, there is no way you ran out of liquor in my house. Ask the homeowner if his name is Jeffrey or Jeffery? God forbid Geoffrey.

Petitioning the noble admin/leader to kindly add me to this most illustrious and prominent order.

This thread is hilarious and I’ve always wondered what the ‘MNOSD’ meant in peoples’ signature.

And bad grammar on street signs. It should be: "...if I were you." Always remember that the nobility strives to speak the King's English. And to keep their socks up nice and high.

Least it’s not “Maker of Fine Carpenter’s Tools” 😂 I’m not sure where the illustrious Jeff got that one from. 🤔

Now there's a woman I can admire. Lawrence, she made you into the excellent man you are today, in no small part by enforcing the rules of correct grammar. I say we give your mom an honorary pair of cargo socks, maybe even a brown undershirt if the other nobles will allow it.
