Is it a choking smurf?   Is it a member of Blue Man Group?   No, the blue archer is the totem of Elauwit Chapter of Tipisa 326, with their latest, four new patches, with three of them restricted to veteran members of the chapter.

X-8 is available to chapter members that have three years of service; X-9 for those with five years, and X-10 for those that have been in the chapter for seven years.   Those with five years can buy the five and three year patches, and the old-timers can buy all three, but new-comers with less than three years cannot purchase any of the veteran patches.   The fourth piece (X-11) is for all members, and it glows in the dark.

One can start a heated discussion on the propriety of the availability of emblems, based on longevity, especially if newer members cannot obtain them.   I will  leave that arguement for others to have; I can only presume that this is what the members of the chapter want, and this isn’t my place to complain.

Why is the totem naked?   Frankly, I didn’t notice.   In the words of Rick Obermeyer: If you noticed that he’s naked, then maybe you have the dirty mind.
