Looking for Jock input.

I would agree with Karson—-I want to be known as a jock as well. We are part of a unique community.

-- Genius is immediate, but talent takes time.

I hadn’t actually noticed till you mentioned it but I hear your rallying cry.
Karson you have my vote.
We want to be Jocks not just members.
Every site has members
We have a pretty unique group of guys a gals here
and I agree we deserve our JOCKS status.

PS: the fact that Karson sent me some real nice pen blanks in the trade
did not sway my opinion in any way. ;-)

somedays I feel like a JOCK ... somedays just a member …

I like being a JOCK

-- ..... art for lifes sake

Martin …How could you do such a thing? After coming up with a cool site name like LumberJocks? I am shocked and bewildered. I think I may have an identy crisis…Am I a Jock or a Member? I guess that would depend upon who you asked at the time.

PS …Frank, I believe you ;-)

-- Greg - Charles Town, WV

I’m with Karson!

What did he say?

I’m in. I’m a member other places but only here am I a Jock.

-- Kyle, Michigan

i like being a jock too. I’m in.

I agree…..I like Jocks…...

-- Splinters - Living and Loving life in the Rockies - http://www.splinterswoodworks.com/

I am not offended either way

-- www.robneves.com

i think there’s a little member in every jock. um that didn’t come out exactly right… anyway i’m with karson!

-- Greg, CT

I would prefer Jock myself Karson.

I have a shirt that I bought from the one and only Martin that tells me I am a LumberJock.

After I spent good monies to get my nice bright yellow shirt…Is he going to change my shirt out to LumberMember?? I bet he won’t. Nor would I want him to…..

Once a LumberJock…..always a LumberJock I say! Here, here!!!!

-- Carpe Lignum - Seize The Wood,

I think LumberJock is gender neutral.

I recently read an article about females being referenced as “guys” One woman complained that she wasn’t a guy but (it might have been Ann Landers) did a survey and found that amongst themselves women often say: “Hey, guys. Let’s go here” or whatever. Ann Landers puts the gender neutral class to guys so I think we can be assured that Lumberjocks is gender neutral.

Ya gotta remember that Martin doesn’t live here in the States so might be a little late in the nuances.

I gotta agree.

-- Jeff, St. Paul, MN

<sing> I’m a lumbermember and I’m ok… </sing>

nope doesn’t work that way…

Some of us might have been jocks in high school, but we’re all Jocks now!

(Lee’s right about the gender neutrality as well) any group of people is guys, whether there’s a guy in the group or not.) Haven’t the Oscars long since changed from Actor and Actress to just Actor

Why didn’t someone tell me?

Jocks!

i concur…lumberjock I am…with green eggs and ham! (new tee-shirt slogan???)

-- Matt, Napa, CA...177 days to sanity...

Yep, definitely has to be Jocks!

On a side note though – the changes to the site (minus removing Jocks) are really great. Thanks again Martin.

-- Tim D. - Woodstock, GA

I support the “jock’s” name also.

I am Lumberjock I am proud!

-- Betsy - GO BUCKS!

How about our song. ”I’M A LUMBERJOCK”, And proud of it.

Perhaps Martin copied some formatting from the “gardentenders” site and forgot to change the word back…I think they are members over there…

-- Rob (A) Waxahachie,TX

This is as close to being a jock of any kind that I’ve ever been. I vote to remain a Lumberjock.
Besides, Lumbermember sounds like a bad Austin Powers movie rip-off.

LOL Doug.

Jock’s forever!!!!!!!!!!

-- Mc Bridge Cabinets, Iowa

I agree!!!! Jocks

-- Max "Desperado", Salt Lake City, UT

Looks like they’re voting 100% in favor of “Jocks” Martin! And I’m with them! JOCKS RULE!

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

haha. ok ok. will do!

-- Martin, http://lumberjocks.com | My Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/people/Martin_Sojka/1357216976

I like the Jock name strapped to me also. I am a Member of my Church though.

Strangely enough, I’m also a Jock at church. It really annoys the couch potatoes.

Jocks are back ;)

-- Martin, http://lumberjocks.com | My Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/people/Martin_Sojka/1357216976

Thank you Martin and Thank You Karson for getting the Jocks back.

-- Bill - "Suit yourself and let the rest be pleased." http://www.cajunpen.com/

I see the campaign worked. I agree and approve.

-- Maplewood, MN

Wow that was fast. I did not notice it, I did not see the post till it was “fixed” Thank you Karson & Martin.

-- http://www.grandprairiewoodworks.com

Lumbermember????? no it doesnt work for me

Lumberjock, it kinda sings to you, thats the way to go!

Thanks Karson for being it to a vote campaign, Thanks Martin for changing it back. I am a memeber of families, church, organizations; but here I am a Jock

It sure feels good to be a Jock again, I thought I’d have to start taking pills. ;o)

OK, I nominate Karson for the presidency… He’s a man of action!

I’m sure he could take Obama, Hillary or McCain….. :-)

-- Tim D. - Woodstock, GA

As I jockey into position to to make my thoughts known, (I’m only horsing around, you know) not being a young thoroughbred any more, I guess I’m really only lumbering along, I have to look at “membership” vs “jockship” and see just how that fits into the equation…just what the odds are…before making my bet on which will survive.
But if I had my druthers, (how many of you remember where that word came from?) I’d be a jock, too. -SST

Dick.. that was hilarious.. laughed right out loud on that one.. hahahaa

Even tho I’m a bit behind the curve on this one, clearly the majority ruled. And I like the “Kount on Karson” slogan, too. I was going to say let the chips fall …

I see the Jocks are back!

Love the next Austin Powers movie Douglass! – perhaps it was a pre-quel set back in Daniel Boone’s time?

This is an obvious case of favoritism! Mr Karson just says one little thing and the waters part! Must be part of the conspiracy. Yes you and all of Mr Karsons Yes Men! You know who you are. I’m all for forming a splinter group of folks who want to keep their members.
Our slogan “remember our members!”

-- http://www.woodsongsfurniture.com

heck if i could remember my member i wouldnt be on this website near as much ! lol

I thought we were keeping politics and religion off of LJ. I like Karson, and I like my member (can I say that here?), but can’t we all just get along?????

-- When you give someone a chance it may well be their last.

It looks like I get the last word here. But I have to agree somewhat with Dennis I know my member always went in my jock when I played football and basketball in high school. I have to rethink this whole jock thing. My thinking is not clear, in fact in fact it’s fading. Good night Mrs. Magillacudy wherever you are. mike

>grin< big fat >grin<

when I went to my 35 year class reunion, one of my old class mates was the principle of a local high school.
As part of my introduction to old high school class I sent them all of the them (about 40 are still alive) a email with a link to my lumberjocks web page. He said at our dinner meeting that lumberjocks.com got blocked by the highschool firewall as a potential porn site. Guess lumber and jock may suggest some questionable conotation in some circles …

I’m starting to sweat.. phew

Now, now … don’t forget … being a member and having one are completely different.

-- Odie, Confucius say, "He who laughs at one's self is BUTT of joke".

I just want to say that as a natural born Canadian, according to the law I cannot be elected President. However, I’m willing to wait until the election is over before I’d tell them. That way we can totally screw up the political system more than it is already.

Should I select Jock Kevorikian as my running mate. Op’s excuse me Jack Kevorkian.

-- Karson Southern Delaware karson_morrison@bigfoot.com

I was a little concerned when I read the title of this thread.

It looks like the OP has gotten the required information needed to input whatever is required, wherever it is required to be input. ;-)

-- Mark

I nominate MsDebbie as your press secretary!

-- http://www.woodsongsfurniture.com

Thanks Dennis. I agree. As a fellow Canadian, she can be in my Cabinet (wooden of course). Because there are no laws that exclude that.

-- Karson Southern Delaware karson_morrison@bigfoot.com

Odie, you’re hilarious.

Dock, I’ll give you the K. Isn’t it good to know your avatar rhymes with your favorite web site?

It’s been great fun to come back and read all these…. I’m glad we swayed Martin back to the true path of the LJs. ;-) Thanks Martin!

-- Jeff, St. Paul, MN

one moment I’m sweating because of the uprising of the members and next thing you know I’m in a cabinet!

Great Job Martin YOU ARE THE MAN, or should we say HEAD JOCK!

I have to say that I waited until things had quieted down abit, because my mind stays in the gutter and there are minors on this site…..LOL.
