I was listening to the news on my way to work the other day when a reporter was telling about a football player who injured his knee. She said that the player had torn his "ACLU." ;D

I would have thrown them out on 9/10. They are not my favorite vegetable.

The Professional Ben-Hur Patton Unforgiven Run Silent, Run Deep

"Wait a second. You're getting our bad sides!"

Bart Starr - I just think that's about as cool a name as you could have.

I was driving home yesterday when a guy passed me on a 1970s era Honda 350. I had forgotten how small those things were. He was right on the bumper of the car in front of him and I thought to myself that he could not possibly stop in an emergency situation. Sure enough, the car in front of him came to a quick stop and the guy on the Honda ran into the rear of the car. We all stopped to see if he was hurt and it took about six witnesses to convince him that he was the one who screwed up.

I understood "No, no, no!" and I think I know what that gesture with the arm meant. ;D

How long do fawns keep their spots? We had a doe and her fawn in the back yard last week and the fawn still had spots. The boogers ate my impatiens.

Fine - a word that a man should never use when his wife asks, "How, do I look in this." What she will hear is, "Hey, that's as good as you are gonna ever look so quit bothering me while I watch this ball game."

That's about the last thing I want when I am fishing. I love my tunes, but I can't concentrate on fishing with "Wildcat on the Sewing Machine" playing in the background.

How did the trebuchet work out? Did you lay seige to any walled cities this summer? That video took me back to a treasured time.

Glad to have you here. Did you bring beer?

I just joined a bass club and will start tournament fishing in a couple of weeks. I am so pumped. It's nice to have something other than grandchildren to get excited about at my age.

That's nothing new. The original Lowrance "green box" depth finders came with a very similar setup.

Good to have you here. Did you bring beer?

White, double willowleaf, 3/8 oz Terminator spinerbait.

In about 10 years you and your buds will be sitting around visiting and one of them will say, "You guys remember that Labor Day we slayed the bass...?" Your wives will wonder what all the whooping and hollering is coming from the backyard as you relive that day. Treasure it.

You know, I was in such a hurry to weigh her, take pictures, and get her back in the water that I didn't measure her.

You = 20 years old and an underage drinking charge : BOOOO Underage Drinking! I know that the law doesn't agree, but I figure anyone who has done a tour in Iraq like Shawn deserves the right to a brew.

Glenn, Buddy, you sure saved me a lot of heartburn this morning. Especially since what I really meant was to convert the VOB file to WMV. The program you suggested worked beautifully and everyone in the office thinks I am a hero. 8-)

I'm what's known as legacy software. Just an analog guy living in a digital world. ;D

I have a video file in VOB format. I need to convert it to WMA format for posting on my work Web site. Anyone have an idea how to do this without having to buy any new software?

Listerine has a unique flavor, too and I guess you could learn to tolerate it it, but why would you? Be forewarned, I'm going to harp on one of my pet peeves: Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is symptomatic of a really bad trend in brewing: more hops is better. It is just a ruse to disguise beer and ale made with inferior grains. The sad thing is that a lot of young drinkers think they are being hip by drinking overly-hopped beers. Drink a good malty beer like Sam Smith's Organic Ale. That's what beer is all about.

I just finished a case of Bud Light that was given to me. I'm not a big fan of American-style lagers in any case, but I thought BL was pretty nasty. Regular Bud is just fine. AB has a Michelob Porter that has become my beer of choice. If I can't find that I drink Amber Bock. I really try to avoid microbrews that overwhelm their precious little brews with too much hops.
