"I see you went to McDonalds this morning for their 2 for 1 Crap McMuffin special."

They aren't glued shut. They are sealed using an ultrasonic welding technique. I'd tell you more but that's as much as I heard when I was flipping past the "How's it Made" show on Discovery Channel.

At that price you'd be a fool for not ordering a few. They are excellent baits.

Excellent!

Whether a Pit Bull is more vicisious than a Lab is rather irrelevant. The notion that it is is the issue. The simple fact is is that you are more likely to be sued if your Pit Bull bites a kid than if your Lab does. I've seen it. It's true. The other issue is that some states have taken away some protection from Pit Bull owners that owners of other breeds enjoy. For instance: Virginia has a "One Bite" rule. That essentially means that if your dog bites someone, and you had no notice that the dog would do such a thing, that it had never acted in an aggressive manner in the past, then you can't be held liable for the injuries it inflicts. That's a ONE TIME protection, under the presumption that once a dog does bite, you are now on notice that the dog can and will bite, you will be held liable if it does it again. HOWEVER, the one bite rule doesn't always apply to dogs Virginia says are known to have a "vicisous propensity." Virginia essentially says you should know right at ownership that your dog can and will bite if it is a dog with an inbred vicious propensity. At the top of the list is Pit Bull. The one bite rule doesn't apply to Pit Bulls or other dogs on the list. When I say always, I'm not sure that the list is hard-and-fast, but I will say juries are far less sympathetic when your Pit Bull, Chow, Akita, Doberman bites someone than if your Collie, Lab and Golden Retriever does.

I handle injury claims for a large insurance company. I will say pit bulls are the number-one dog involved in bites I handle. I've handled bites from bull mastifs, rots, and German Shepherds, and others. But pit bulls account for the vast majority of the claims I handle involving dog bites.

Sam, you didn't give away any of our secret spots, did you? I told you, we SELL those secrets, not give them away.

If the barrel on that gun isn't at least 18 inches, and the overall length at least 26 inches, and you didn't pay the $200 fee to the BATF before you acquired or modified it, you are breaking law established by the National Firearms Act with a penalty of up to 10 years in federal prison.

If it's a Shad Rap and its made by Rapala, I like it. I catch a lot of fish on the original Shad Rap and shallow Shad Rap. The glass and rattling Shad Raps suspend and are good cold water baits.

Spray a little PAM on them in their bag. They will be slippery enough to manipulate through the side of the bag and you can straighten the tails out easily. They come out easy. And PAM won't deteriorate the plastic. PAM with garlic is good, too.

X3. You get some nimrod diddling around with the trigger mechanism and screws it up and suddenly its the gun's fault. Trust that the vast majority of "news media," and that goes triple for any NBC division, will report negatively on any gun related issue.

IMO, Danners are the best boots made. I have a pair over 10 years old. Been hunting in the mountains, Boy Scout camps, you name it. They are holding up exceptionally well.

He always had good stuff worth reading. I miss him already. RIP.

No problems here.

I want to see photos.

Man, you can pop a colostomy bag with all that laxative.

Don't listen to these two jokers. I don't know who Jamarkwe is, and Burley's still cranky from his recent circumcision. The rest of us knew what you meant. Here's a site that can help with some terminology... http://www.hallowellco.com/abbrevia.htm

If it's a H&R made in that time frame, and a .32, it is probably chambered for .32 Smith and Wesson. There is a long and a short round and I'd assume that its chambered for the short round. The .32 S&W, according to my books, was available in black powder and a smokeless loads. Both were pretty anemic. The smokeless round was loaded to approximate the pressures of the black power round. So, IF the gun is in good condition, and IF the gun is chambered in .32 S&W, then you should be able to fire either factory loaded .32 S&W smokeless or black powder rounds. (Frankly, unless you handload, you will be limited to smokeless loads 'cuz AFAIK no one produces a black powder load.) There is no substitute for having a gunsmith check it out.

You can delete it, but the site is correct, it's all public information. Even if that site didn't exist, it's still out there. But I am curious why they say my property cost over $1,000,000. I paid under $200K for it ;D.

It's a matter of taste! That's right. Taste each one and buy the one that tastes better. Seriously, ask the guy behind the counter to show you the reels, then lick them. Really hard. Lick all around the level wind and the handles. Buy the one that really lights your taste buds up.

I agree. One thing we do agree on, BPS rods have good reel seats. No hard feelings.

Are you fishing steel worms? Every worm I've ever fished would stretch way more than the line it was connected to if the worm was caught by the tail. I think you are way overstaing the effects of mono stretch. Mono stretch has the biggest effect on things like hooksetting. It has far less effect on sensitivity than does line straightening.

Depends on which bait you're referring to. The Shad is a TOTAL CLUNKER, and I'm not the only one. The 6" Jr. trout is a winner in both fast and slow sink. What do you mean by clunker? Mine has performed perfectly. Many, many hours spent underwater, not a single fish caught. Its almost uncanny. Many other baits have caught, that one is a dud. I gave my four away. That's okay. After nearly 30 years of trying, I caught my first bass on a Jitterbug last fall. Until then, I thought Jitterbugs were clunkers. ;D
