Most of you are members.
Most of you are members. If you paddle with the GDI, you are GDI. Yup, you're screwed and didn't know it.

As I recall Christ hung out with sinners and one of the sacraments involves a river - I usually get baptized once or twice a trip!

Here is how I heard it some of it’s urban legend , some I was personally there.
It first started with Bailey at the Alabama Races, trying to sigh up to race. The registration lady was insistent that he had to be a club member to race, as a somewhat heated discussion occurred of Bailey stating that” He was isn’t in a ____club” ,”He never would be in a club”…she looked him dead in the eye…and asked “So what club are you in then??”. He made the statement that “He was GDI!” And hastily wrote those initials in the form.
Then later we would always get a phone call from Chota asking where we were going to boat…they never would show up. Later when confronted why the were always “No Show Jones”…the Chota board member stated “We just wanna know where you are going so we won’t be there.
then one day at the sinks ...we all bombed it, with Chota setting up ropes and most walking , one commented on us being idiots...
later that same day Bailey has Louie's camera filming the drop...a Chota member in a Open Boat literally jumps out of his canoe and lets his canoe run the drop on the sinks...due to be over his head....Bailey looks into the camera and stated "In true Chota fashion"...Louie later passes the film to as many Chota members as he can....remember back then Bailey was making paddles and Chota club members were his best customers...it created a lot of drama for Bailey...Bailey would smooth it over...Louie would come right back and stir their pot.
The final initials where born when Louie started making videos, (which in turn started “Bootleg Louie”, which became “Falling off Waldens Ridge”) he would list them at the Bluegrass Film Festival under the club categories .During one of the GDI films being shown , we were running cutting edge stuff in the video(for the time period) a Chota board members pipes up “God ____Idiots” and the legend and club name was forever cemented.
Proud GDI member since 1989 salute!
