MEMO to all Fools Guild Members.

We are happy being Fools, but any non member can call themselves a fool (common variety of course). What we need it a defining name that stands out above all fools.
ie like Thingite and Sporkite as an example

The search is on for suggestions.

Prithee nuncle but
I would suggest jester as that is probably more widely recognised as our meaning

but t'is still a common name and meaning - don't forget, us Fools Guilders are above mere stupidity

a nice badge would look coolhint hint

peace nuncle i know neither a thyng of what yea speak
but perhaps a jesters hatt wyth crosth ticklesticks whot have bells on?

and are for norm's
your suggestion sounds more fitting for a Fools Guild member


ps. hows the wee one ?

I will e.mail you a raw version of my idea for you to look over

in the badge code make up, the # is missing in them and needs to be put in where missing in each code - you'll see the difference

I also feel honoured as a hootoo'er to have a official badge, as it puts the icing on the proverbial cake, when Joe C handed the Fools Guild over to me

yeah I originally promised him the badge...
sometimes life gets in the way

promised him him's me
and life/family is always the priority
