Rockridge,SASS #8763 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 OK, I'm a recalcitrant, ornery, ancient, CAS shooter and I try to ignore all the damned, BS, pontificating, noise, trivia, crap and drivel, but it finally has got to me that there's some damned conspiracy goin on with some pilgrims callin themselves Dooley. Who in the hell are these bunko steerin mavericks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rance - SASS # 54090 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 The big chief of the gang is T-Bone Dooley... Owner/operator of Badlands Bar 3 He's got maybe 300 (correction 963) shooters in his gang... called The Dooley Gang.. Your rant on your beginning post will probably tick off most everyone that participates on this wire... T-Bone (the head honcho) is probably the most respected person of SASS outside of the Wild Bunch.. He puts on (with the help of others) some of the best shoots in the nation.. Comin' at Cha... U.S. Open..Midwest Classic.. Triple Crown..plus many more He and his gang are well known all thoughout the ol' USA amongst Cowboy Shooters. Rance Thinkin' be careful there Rockridge.. There's a whole bunch of us.. Wanna join? Guess.. just sayin'.. tread lightly how ya speak of him I'm a proud Dooley Gang member... read the stuff in every shooters Avatar.. WE.. are all proud to be Dooley Gang Members Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Hanger #3720LR Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I'm not here to tell ya about Dooley(s). I am here to watch as you learn about them and to see what reaction there is when you find out there are also Dammits.

Jacknife Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 A "Dooley" is a descendant of the world famous Tom Dooley. You know, the man that had a song about him years ago. He was told to hang down his head, hang down his head and cry, cause, poor boy you're bound to die. They have all recognized the need to band together and call themselves the Dooley Gang, fighting off outside infiltration but honoring anyone as a member if they will just ask. Mighty good guys to put up with tho. It also helps if ya like to drink out of a fruit jar and sing karoake. Shootin fast is a plus. Hope noone takes this serious.

Bama Red Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Tsk, tsk, tsk - oh, Rockridge, me bucko!! Ain't nothing wrong about being unaware of what's going on, especially if you been away for awhile. What is regrettable is being unaware as well as arro.......opinionated. Sometimes the process of acquiring an education can be painful, sometimes embarrassing. In your case I fear it may be both.

Complicated Lady Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I have a huge smile on my face. Mr. Rockridge, Sir... The Dooley Gang has no secret handshake.... and no hidden agenda Just want to make new friends and make folks smile When I go to a shoot away from home, I look for the folks wearing purple arm bands. Why? because they are in some secret society? No.... Because they are usually pretty fun folks to hang out with ...nothing secret or sinister about it...just friends I haven't met yet No one will ask you to join You gotta want to be a Dooley Gang member Not everyone wants to be in the Dooley Gang and that is certainly okay.

Anvil Al #59168 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Question is. What or WHO the hell, is Rockridge. Sounds like he has a stick stuck somewhere. The gang has done more for SASS than you ever will even think of. And some of most fun people around, that will do anything to help someone. Sorry you don't get that. I must go now. Have to work on that secret hand shake thing. P.S. Some people don't get it, don't want to get it. Will never get it. Feel sorry for folks like that.

Noz Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Why you should be on the lookout for Dooley Gang Members. If you see one purple arm band keep your eye on it. If you see two purple arm bands together get a little closer to them, because If you see three purple arm bands the party is ready to start. Four? Grab a glass, you are probably behind and the Crown Royal is already flowing. Noz, who is proud to have been inducted by the great TBone himself assisted by Tall Drink of Water.

Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Hi Rocky! One of the many wonderful things about the Dooley Gang is they are inclusive and welcome all rather than being some kind of "high falutin" clique. The Dammits are only a tiny bit exclusive in that you must shoot, after dark, at least one round that loaded with black powder and this must be done in the presence of a Dammit Gang member. I am proud to be a member of both gangs. my Gangs! Regards, Allie Mo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
