But I joined USCA anyway,,,,lol. Actually that title is a quote from Groucho Marx. Just thought it was funny,,,lol.

 

I got my packet yesterday. I thought I had read you get some kind of pen in the packet. Is this an ink pen, a lapel pen? Are you supposed to wear a lapel pen at functions to show you're a member? No big deal at all. But I didn't get any kind of pen. Maybe they quit including them?  Will I be kicked out of the rally,,,,lol.

Ha!   Who doesn't like a joke at introduction.   You'll fit right in at the rallies, pen,pin,or whatever you feel like showing up wearing.  🤣

There is a secret.....handshake.....but it can only be  shown to you  once you have  brought  100 Donut Holes to your  first  sidecar  rally.

A 3" (or so) patch should be included in the welcome packet.  I don't recall a pin, but it's been a while since I joined.  Scariest part is that they let ME be secretary!

Double check your member packet to ensure the membership info isn't in your "monkey's" name.  🤣 

Congrats on being a full fledged member.  🍻 

Will look forward tomeeting you in the Flint Hills. 

 


Hold my keyboard and watch this! 🙃

Wow did you luck out by posting...3" or so....because the actual USCA patch is 5 inches....which is 66.67 % bigger than 3".

And you call yourself the Secretary.......................ha ! Shocked

The US Post Office started confiscating the pins, calling them a weapon of minimal destruction. Actually, they no longer allow the mailing of things of a prickly nature.

Sorry, but we do have all the donut holes you can eat at the national rallies, courtesy of Flying Monkeys... 🤩

Um, about that, Jon.  I noticed a distinct LACK of holes, though VAST numbers of actual donuts while at Iuka. 

 

<ETA>  Oh, I reread that and, yes, it should not be surprising that there were no holes at Iuka, since there was a concomitant absence of FM.

Eat

Thane, it is incorrigible to think that you, of all people, would talk about your package here, in a family forum. Head Explody  

I was talking about the USCA patch, and here is a picture of the one I received, in full color too, and it is 5 inches tall, and 5 inches across.

Mine is also inverted with the wide part of the "triangle" on top.  Clearly I must be a red headed stepchild... Razz

Not to worry, Calvin. I will bring my brand new, never stitched to a jacket, USCA patch, and give it to your Boss Monkey, the famous Sidecar Willie

With my best Mexican accent. "Patches? I don't need no stinking patches".  At least I think that's how that movie quote goes,,,lol.

 

Willie says "HE'LL" shake you hand but you gotta show HIM the secret handshake.
