The national meeting of Local Chapters of the Benevolent Order of the Kossacks will come to order.
Our spiritual leader and benevolent dictator, He of the Mark of the Kos, is with us today, as are his chief advisors and editors.
All of the outreach committee is "in the house" too.
It is indeed a big day here in the Nation of Norcal, on it's 250th Anniversary. Once the century of biological science was over, so many years ago, who could have imagined we'd all still be around? Especially sidepocket.
OK, Wwe will begin with the usual Mocking of the Very Serious People, followed by round of that the tourney version of of "Blank my Blanking Blank, kos!", finishing with several spirited rounds of that old favorite: GBCW/TTFN/WYFP/BANISHED! cotillion.
As usual all disputes and disagreements will be decided by Meteor Blades and navajo. All ruling are final, and perhaps worth mentioning again, often lethal!
