BAM

[Low_Budget_Hooker]

CC- If you are not married, you are probably a "native" Bammer.  Born to Be  a bammer from the minute you came through the canal.

Aren't you guys enlisted with the local DNR testing and water quality board?

Great organization.  They meet 14 times/month, usually on fri nights and saturday mornings.  They only require that you take a water sample of the same lake at least 4-6 times a week.  It's really not asking much,..I feel it's the least I can do to help protect our environment that big business is quickly killing.

Explain to your partners that you just want to make a difference.  You just have the need to feel like you did somthing selfless for the good of all.

I gotta go,...I have to pick up senko77 in an hour.  We have a meeting to attend.  My work never ends.

Lifetime Bammer-Russ

[Guest avid]

Question...does one have to be married to a BAM member?

Absolutely not!!!  Your interest and outstanding ability to laugh at a good joke are qualities much needed by all bammers.  You are hereby granted a lifetime membership, and an appointment to the membership committee.  Congratulations!

Rule #7:  Always use the excuse, "I must have left my cel phone in the truck and I missed your call."

The rules committee has met and considered your proposal.  It has been decided that you do not yet embody the true spirit of BAMism.  

BAMMERS DO NOT MAKE EXCUSES.

A more appropriate response would be. "I knew you were going to call so I gave my cell phone to the hooker I visited on my way to the lake"

Your interest is applauded, you are granted "probie" status.  A full report from the "Attitude Adjustment" committee will determine the outcome of your application.

Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You see how Avid incorporates the truth with blatant honesty.  

I had his cell phone.

;D

Rule # 6

This thread is for married or previously married folk. No offense to you single guys living the carefree life of fishing whenever you want. .

I gotta say that is one benifit of being single.  When I ask the boss to go fishing I never say no.  

[Ben]

Just tell them like it is. Like I tell my wife when she starts giving me attitude. Try to put a man in the "dog house" and it's very possible he could end up in the "cat house".

[Captain Cali]

I'm a BAM member and proud!!  ;D

Aren't you guys enlisted with the local DNR testing and water quality board?

Who...me?  :-?

[grove83]

DNR testing and water quality board!?!?  Hmmmmmmm  that one I will have to look into!  Doing good for all mankind....thats a tuff job.  Boy the wife will be proud!  The wife knows not to call when I am fishing....wouldn't want to drop my cell phone in the water now would I??    

(Note to self....never leave cell phone with hookers....)  ;D

It's sentiment like this that brings a tear to my eye  :'(

Russ, be careful what you say.  People might talk  

[Bassbum80]

I like the sounds of this.  It kind of has the "No MAAM" quality to it like on Married With Children.  As a matter of fact...If this thing blows up, I would like to request that we make t-shirts, drink beer & discuss our fishing trips & techniques on a regular basis in person.  Maybe at a VFW hall or something.  We can get hats with replica bass on it like the elks...Oh man, the opportunities are endless...I love it ;D

Good thinking Avid!

[abelfisher]

The BAMmer's answer to the wife when she asks, "When will you be back from fishing????"

Answer:  " I'll be back, when I get back, IF I come back!!"

[dink]

Why tell anyone anytihng when you go fishing.  I just go.  Everyone who knows me, asssumes I am on the lake at all times.  She doesn't even attempt to call me until after the sun has set, or later.

Next rule:  understand the futility of some non-fishing activities i.e. mowing the lawn or washing the car.  Grass will just grow back and winter will eventually take care of it anyway.  And everyone knows as soon as you wash your car it will get splashed or bugged or pooped on, etc.  Eventually it will rain and wash everything off Mother Nature style.  Don't worry about painting the house either.... the dull colors are really making a comeback!

Let 'em talk,...real Bammers just don't care, lol.  

I will say this......

                                 keep talkin',....I'm goin' fishin'

It makes a feller proud to see y'all gettin on board with this thing.  

'No mam' was an inspiration for this movement. Al Bundy would have been a charter member.

I got a pm from an irate female basser.  She demanded (in that uniquely female way) that woman be represented.  I advised that this is a mens only club, but being the decent sort of guy I am, I decided to create a womens auxilliary.

It's called "WAM"  Women Against Men.  As a subsidiary of BAM the official name of this group is "WAM - BAM" and thank you mam for putting out, I mean for your input.

[grove83]

Maybe we could have a one day get together of BAM/WAM-BAM.  Just to say thank you WAM-BAM ma'ams for their input....consider it a one night stand?    

P.S. I like to input....um....their input.

[roadwarrior]

#8  Avoid "hard choices".  When in doubt, buy them both.

#9  If you already have everything right, never mix and match: Buy the new reel to go with your new rod and visa-versa.

And here is a tip: She doesn't need (or want) to see your new stuff. Just mix it in with the rest. I promise, if she isn't interested she can't tell the difference.

 Hey Russ, Lets not talk about the DOG HOUSE.  LOL

Did she need to send a photo to get that sort of cooperation? ;D

[grove83]

I say that we induct Al Bundy to the BAM Hall of Fame!!!  Make him an honorary member of BAM and use him as our "roll model".   8-)

Definitely...and then we can trasform the "No Ma'am" acronym from "National Organization of Men Against Amazonian Masterhood" into the "National Organization of Men Against Angler Management"

Outstanding!!!  I had no doubt that RW would make extraordinary contributions.  Welcome aboard. You are hereby appointed BAM coach  

I think the Al Bundy ideas are great.

Al, you are hereby awarded an honorary doctorate in BAMism and are formally installed as the first BAM hall of fame inductee

[Cephkiller]

These are great suggestions.  I wonder, however, how interesting these posts would be if the old ladies were watching everyone type on the ol' computer?

A true BAM member such as myself would not say one thing different.  YEAH!

Gotta go.  The wife's coming  

[Will]

I nominate that the BAM official song is Brad Paisley's "I'm Going to Miss Her"

[Guest avid]

I nominate that the BAM official song is Brad Paisley's "I'm Going to Miss Her"

Excellent suggestion!! This song captures the essence of BAM and is hereby named as the official anthem of the organization.

[Kana]

rule 10 quality and quantity, a modifier of RW's dont mix and match rule.

good job, on the anthem.

but dont all organizations have a "icon" i think we need to makethe bait monkey our icon.  its is all too often that we find ourselvers in his mercy and must buy tackle and other items, to gain his praise, keep him happy, and await a good fortune on hte water in return for our offerings!  besides, avid allowed the baitmonkey to alter his state of mind, you see subconciously he came up with a name that appeases the monkey as well  BAM:  Bad A** Monkey

[Guest avid]

Well done, Kana

You are hereby appointed as the international BAM ambassador, and protector of the Bait Monkey.

Your's is a particulary heady responsiblity.  The fate of the iconic bait monkey is in your hands.

Guard it well.
