Super User Jigfishn10 Posted March 3, 2014 Super User Posted March 3, 2014 Dear Raider, I've been in commercial construction since 1989 and a graduate from Wentworth Tech in Boston with a degree in Building Construction Technology. I'm on a very easy industrial project and have 4 armchair quarterbacks telling me how to get the project done. 2 have experience, but do not come to the project on a daily basis, 1 has some experience, but does not come to the project on a daily basis and 1 who is here everyday, but has no experience. My question to you is, why do I need so many folks telling me how to get this project done and how can I tell them to buzz off. Regards, One P1$$ed-off Super. P.S. I'm 2 weeks ahead of schedule doing it my way. 1 Quote

I'm 2 weeks ahead of schedule doing it my way. Sorry Raider but I can't help it . . . . . Because it's easy ! Thank them for their assistance and great Ideas and be sure to ask them if it would be OK to come to them in the future for help. Then make sure you ask them for assistance on the next thing you know they have little to no experience with. Now that becomes a learning experience for them - you win again. Or You could keep calling them at challenging hours (like very first thing in the morning or very late in the work day) telling them that you need them down at the sight for some help. Make sure to be persistant and call each several times. If they show say thanks and if they bow out ask why ? You know this, but it's not what you say - it's what you do. A-Jay 1 Quote
Super User Grizzn N Bassin Posted March 3, 2014 Super User Posted March 3, 2014 As for question number 3. The only "dog pile" I know of are the piles they "drop" or "take" (this topic has been covered elsewhere) on your lawn. We do refer to a group of people stacked together as a "pig pile" When I was a kid, if someone hollered "pig pile" we'd jump on top of each other. And for 9, there is a simple answer. Put the handcuff on his wrist. Wrap the remaining chain around his neck then attach the free handcuff beside the first. A leg works as well as the neck in some cases. Special training is required to determine which is the more effective. I take the liberty to answer for Dear Raider only because as his Secretary of State (see his presidential thread) we have discussed these two issues along with the Director of Homeland Security. Hahaha!! I love it, thanks for clearing this up. I have been miss informed for all of these years. Quote

plumworm Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Dear Raider, could you please tell me why you wish to be the president and Ann Landers at the same time. I am firmly convinced that the current resident of the white house would be much better as Ann Landers. You on the other hand, with your time as a blue color worker, would be much better at understanding the needs of the American working folks. The current resident of the WH could answer questions like: Why do my kids complain that their school lunch tastes like cardboard or, how can I get my golf score down, or what is it like to spend so much time on vacation. You on the other hand, can answer questions like: How can we get this job done on time and on budget, or why don't we do this right and give the customer a break. Good luck on both of your projects Ann Landers? President, where do I send my donation? 1 Quote

Good luck on both of your projects Ann Landers? President, where do I send my donation? As the nominee for Secretary of State in Raider's administration, I must make one small correction to your question. Candidate Raider's, "Dear Raider" column is a takeoff on Abigail Van Buren's, "Dear Abby" column. Ann Landers, if memory serves is/was Abigail's sister. Ann also had a similar column which ran in syndication in papers across the country, and maybe around the world. It's a minor, understandable mistake, which many people make. Quote
Super User Ratherbfishing Posted March 4, 2014 Super User Posted March 4, 2014 Dear Raider, I'm unsure this question was ever propery answered: What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow (African or European)? Quote
plumworm Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Sorry Mr. Rhino or should I call you Mr. Secretary? In my neck of the woods, our local newspapers carried Ann Landers. My fault, I should have known who Raider was trying to replace. You see, both lady's have been dead for years and were replaced by Pareze Hilton and Joan Rivers. Quote

All donations may be made to your favorite fishing related charity. Or favorite conservation group. I'm going old school grass roots with my campaign. Quote

Super User roadwarrior Posted March 5, 2014 Super User Posted March 5, 2014 Dear Raider, Some mean members have questioned your fishing skills. Tell us a special story including your lure (bait) and gear. I'll bet it's a monster! Quote
Super User Raider Nation Fisher Posted March 5, 2014 Author Super User Posted March 5, 2014 Dear Raider, I'm unsure this question was ever propery answered: What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow (African or European)? Airspeed velocity of a European swallow is 11 meters per second. Which equates out to roughly 24 miles per hour. Quote
Super User Raider Nation Fisher Posted March 5, 2014 Author Super User Posted March 5, 2014 Dear Raider, Some mean members have questioned your fishing skills. Tell us a special story including your lure (bait) and gear. I'll bet it's a monster! Let's see, so many to choose from. I was fishing my second favorite pond. Which is surprisingly quite deep and is about 2 acres or so total with one side only accessible to mountain goats. It has a hill side set at about a 60 degree angle covered in trees. The back side is mostly over grown and extremely shallow and thorn laden. Anyway, I was fishing the back corner of said pond. I was using my brand new Quantum Smoke reel using 12lb flouro set up on a, I want to say either a MH Diawa Procyon or a MH CarbonLite. I honestly can't remember now. Its been three or four years ago. It was the first time I had ever fished this reel and I was extremely excited about it. I was fishing parallel to a sunken oak tree that is about four feet in diameter where the base had uprooted against the bank. My lure was a H20 express lipless crankbait in a silver, blue with a mirror finish. Weight was a 1/2 ounce. I had caught some decent 4 and 5 lb bass off this sunken tree in the past so I figured what better place to try my luck. On about my tenth cast I felt a tug and slammed the hook. I fought the hell out of this fish. Rod was bowed over the whole time. I'm smiling a mile wide. Once the fish gets up to shore I notice its a freaking Red Ear Sunfish. That greedy thing had the entire rear treble hook in its mouth. He weighed about a pound in a half, maybe 2 pounds tops. Little bugger had been dragging the line against and under the tree the whole time. It was a hell of a fight but definitely not what I was targeting. (I managed to get the treble hook out with out ripping its mouth apart too. I was very proud of that.) Story 2. This is my biggest large mouth to date. I had just learned how to rig a wacky rig with a trick worm. (Thank you Bass Resources). Another member here explained it to a T. Went as far as almost giving me a diagram. I was fishing another pond I like to frequent. This one about 3 acres total. I have gone so far as to diagram and map this pond. There are some enormous bass in there. Anyway, I had caught roughly 4 two pounders and was loving my newly learned rig. I moved to the rear of the pond where it looks like the toe of a boot. The pond is shaped like a boot for what its worth. I was casting to the far bank where there are a bunch of stumps and a dead tree extending from the water. Set up was a BPS Pro Qualifier(the chameleon one), with 20 lb braid, on a BPS CarbonLite MH. Weightless wacky rig with a Reaction Innovations, Flirt 6.95 in California 420. I was casting to the stumps letting it sink slowly and then jigging it up and jn about a foot. Pausing every third handle turn for between five to six seconds. Every other hop I would give it a twitch right before it started sinking. As I was casting to a group of stumps. My line went taught. I snatched it thinking I had hooked a branch, root, or one of the stumps. I reeled and snatched again feeling a large weight at the end of the line. I paused a second and the drag started screaming as line was ripped from my reel. Well, I figured, apparently my tree branch wants to fight. So fight I did. This fish gave me hell. She jumps about 6 feet from shore and I almost dropped my rod. She was freaking huge! Once I landed her my hands were trembling like a heroin addict in need of a fix. My heart was pounding through my chest. I grabbed her with the scale and she weighed 10lbs 2ounces! I couldn't believe my eyes. I honestly got light headed when I read that scale. That is the story of my biggest large mouth to date. 1 Quote
Smallmouth Hunter Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 I have a few more questions to add to my list which I will just post here so you don't have to look back through the pages: If time = money, does an ATM stand for/mean A Time Machine? If Apple one day makes cars....would they have windows? Why do they put holes in crackers? Can you give me a synonym for "thesaurus"? How much space is in space? WHY did the chicken cross the road?!? What do you call a fly that can't fly? If there is a hole that is 9 feet wide and 6 feet deep, how much dirt is in the hole? What color is a mirror? When you use a towel, does it dry or get wetter?

When you use a towel, does it dry or get wetter? time = money, does an ATM stand for/mean A Time Machine? Actually yes. Its also a power machine. Cause Money=Power. If Apple one day makes cars....would they have windows? Nope. Apple is so unique they will be called clear rectangular covers. Why do they put holes in crackers? So that my d**n hot sauce drips on my fingers at break through the cracker. Can you give me a synonym for "thesaurus"? Wordfinder. How much space is in space? Inner or Outer? WHY did the chicken cross the road?!? Cause there was a party on the other side. What do you call a fly that can't fly? A crawl. If there is a hole that is 9 feet wide and 6 feet deep, how much dirt is in the hole? None. Other wise it wouldnt be a hole. What color is a mirror? Silver, if you look at the back, and its old enough. When you use a towel, does it dry or get wetter? Depends on context. The towel gets wet. 2 Quote
