  1. Why do you always have to come in here and ruin our morbid plans and speculations? The voice of reason is entirely unnecessary! Hey !! What's up with that ? I was going to post the same exact thing > You'll be hearing from my attorney soon....
  2. Being married is like living near busy train tracks; after a while you just don't hear it anymore. Great line from the Three Stooges: Poll taker to Moe - "Are you married ?" Moe - "No, I'm happy....."
  3. Flyers and Bruins next round. Sorry Boston, start polishing your golf clubs and get your tee times, we have a Cup to win.....
  4. Took a shot to the daddy bags, eh ? They'll be more of them. Thank God my kids are older. I don't miss those days.
  5. He hates everything anymore. I used to think I was the most miserable man alive. I bow to the King....
  6. Can't forget the Jesus clip. They come in an infinite array of styles and sizes and are characterized for their ability to launch out of whatever device you are working on, rendering it useless until a replacement can be found. They are named for the first word that comes out of your mouth after clip takeoff. :-X
  7. I use a blood knot to join a mono leader to braid. There's no getting around a knot going through the guides, even using the shortest of leaders. After tying the knot, I trim the tag ends to about a 1/4". I then pinch the knot itself between my thumb and forefinger to protect the knot, exposing only the tag ends. Then I use a lighter to burn down the tag ends to within millimeters of the knot itself. This makes for the lowest profile knot I can get that will be the least resistant to going through the guides. You really won't lose much distance at all.
  8. Led's are the way to go. Another bonus is they draw less amps. Win win.
  9. My, aren't we cranky today ? is the Blazer still giving you fits ?
  10. An inline spinner ripped quickly to bust the surface, then a pause to let it flutter down. The treble hook can be replaced with an appropiate size single hook to minimize hangups in any vegetation. The fluke would seem to be a winner also. Did you have it rigged weightless ?
  11. If I was King, not one dime of public money would go to build a sports stadium for a professional team. Ever.
  12. I've met many "college educated" people who are as dumb as a bag of hammers, and have met brilliant people who have a basic high school education. I don't buy that "you must have a college degree in order to succeed" crap. Like it or not, how you spell and speak makes a huge impression on people. I didn't say it's fair, it's just how it is. It's the school's fault TO A POINT. Most of the blame lies with lazy parents.
  13. You could have a certified scale in your boat along with a notary public, a priest and a rabbi and it still wouldn't satisfy some people. Throw the scales and rulers into the water and just go fishing for the fun of it.
  14. Pflueger Trion series. $40 reels that act like $100 reels. I've got one going on it's fourth season.
  15. From the NGK website.... Q: When should I use a resistor spark plug? A: NGK "R" or resistor spark plugs use a 5k ohm ceramic resistor in the spark plug to suppress ignition noise generated during sparking. NGK strongly recommends using resistor spark plugs in any vehicle that uses on-board computer systems to monitor or control engine performance. This is because resistor spark plugs reduce electromagnetic interference with on-board electronics. They are also recommended on any vehicle that has other on-board electronic systems such as engine-management computers, two-way radios, GPS systems, depth finders or whenever recommended by the manufacturer. In fact, using a non-resistor plug in certain applications can actually cause the engine to suffer undesirable side effects such as an erratic idle, high-rpm misfire, engine run-on, power drop off at certain rpm levels and abnormal combustion.
  16. Sufix. Period. End of story. Their mono is excellent also. Period. End of story.
  17. See my post above Captain O's
  18. The Vet was demolished in 2004. Philly fans suffer when a jackass like this does something stupid. Obnoxious punks who don't know how to act right can be found in every city at every sporting event all across the country. It's a worn out old media thing that this type of thing is unique to Philadelphia. Example: Santa Claus getting snowballed by Eagles fans. It happened in 1969 and "Santa Claus" was an intoxicated skinny 19 year old. Who WOULDN'T have snowballed that ?
  19. That little doughboy would be in a coma if it was one of my daughters.
  20. Does your Blazer have fuel injection ? If so, a fuel pressure reading taken at the shraeder valve (if GM uses one) located on the fuel rail will confirm if the punp is bad. Is the pump located in the tank ?
  21. A little boy is dressed as a pirate trick or treating on Halloween. He knocks on a door and a little old lady answers. "Ooooh, a pirate" she says "Where's your buccaneers?" "Under my buckin' hat"
  22. I have quite a few 2" Senkos that catch big bass. They're not available here anymore, but I think you can get them in Japan.
  23. Geese have been the cause of two of mine. Last week I slipped on a pile of goose **it walking the bank. Of course it was while a young couple was walking by, it was all they could do to keep from laughing. Second was years ago. I was climbing a hill to access another part of a farm pond I was fishing. When I got to the top, a mother goose was guarding her eggs in some brush there. She started flapping her wings, honking and carrying on like nobody's business. I tumbled backwards down the hill, emptying my tacklebox in the process. My buddy still breaks my balls about that to this day. I hate %$%##@$ geese..... >
  24. Sounded like Cartman from South Park when he was screaming..... Not too many branches on that family tree.
