QuoteThose who don't know, teach.

Silver, the expression that teachers so detest, and rightfully so, goes as follows......

Those who can, do
those who can't, teach

That's the one. :smilenod:

So let's see besides myself and the other priests (Flannigan, O'Connor, and Boyd) who are some great monkeys by the way, we've got the following lined up:

Bruce: Legal Rep.,guide and mission advisor.
Davin: IT Guy and mission Rep.
Guardian: Fellow Minister, guide and possibly provide some security if needed.
Hermes: If he's willing to come along, I think he would make an excellent guide and possibly help set up some of the mission trips?
Tank: If he's willing to come along I'm thinking he could help arrange transportation for our missions, as well as document our trip?

So far not so bad I think...probably need some of the women from the forum to come along, any volunteers?  8)

I would love to see Amsterdam!  8)

QuoteP.S. If volunteering please possibly include ways you could assist the mission trip, whether it be logistical, advisory, etc...

:notsure:

Maybe I could document everything, take photos and detailed notes, collect plant samples (:shifty:) etc.,...for the mission logs.

To see how the Dutch are in their natural habitat. I'd feel a bit like a modern day naturalist!  8)

Deacon of Technology, Techno Bishop, TechBish, Digital Bishop

Those are good too.

Or maybe Father of IS or Technology Spiritualist.

A Technology Spiritualist's CV could have something like:

Fluent in the divine language of He Who Resides In :airquotes: The Cloud.

I may have missed it, but what exactly is the Good News we're giving to the nuns, and can females do this or is it male specific?

I'm totally in! And I have MANY talents and services to offer, from cooking to being a travel guide, to being a motivational speaker to handing out towels. (What? That's a valuable skill to have, in some circumstances! )

Also, I am good at measuring stuff...I'm sure stuff needs to be measured over there.

You are in for such a treat. Imagine a country that is everything Saudi Arabia isn't, populated by people who have had a very liberal, laissez faire attitude to life for a great part of their history.

I am quite willing to selflessly sacrifice some private time to teach you girls the correct measuring techniques to use.

I know Amsterdam quite well. I was born there and I went there to school.
If you want I could send you a list of affordable restaurants that offer great food.

The main development team for Blender is in Amsterdam, I'd like to visit them.

We will be spreading the good news of Atheism to any and all who are receptive of it's saving Grace, regardless of gender, sexual orientation and religious flavor. (Mostly will just be having wicked fun, but for tax and expense purposes you'll want to occasionally ask those whom you may encounter while in Amsterdam if they believe in god or gods, and/or have they ever considered going full out to the dark side, and becoming an atheist. We'll have little Chick-Tracts and literature you can hand out....mostly just condom packages with "Atheist's Can't Sin" written on the back, sorry, but best I could do on short notice)

Weill it sounds like we have quite the group of volunteers as I show the following HAF individuals are going so far: we have Davin, Tom, Hermes, Tank, Mags, xSP, Guardian, Bruce, Books (Yes you are coming with us Books, you can be our cultural advisor).
Am I missing anyone?

By the way his Grayness, Asmo has said he will foot the bill for our trip. We just have to send him some postcards, and pick him up a t-shirt or two.
