Enjoy ~ A-Jay One year, I decided to buy my mother-in-law a cemetery plot as a Christmas gift... The next year, I didn't buy her a gift. When she asked me why, I replied, "Well, you still haven't used the gift I bought you last year!" And that's how the fight started..... ________________________________ My wife and I were watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while we were in bed. I turned to her and said, 'Do you want to have Sex?' 'No,' she answered. I then said, 'Is that your final answer?' She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying, 'Yes..' So I said, "Then I'd like to phone a friend." And that's when the fight started... ________________________________ I took my wife to a restaurant. The waiter, for some reason, took my order first. "I'll have the rump steak, rare, please." He said, "Aren't you worried about the mad cow?" "Nah, she can order for herself." And that's when the fight started..... _______________________________ My wife and I were sitting at a table at her high school reunion, and she kept staring at a drunken man swigging his drink as he sat alone at a nearby table. I asked her, "Do you know him?" "Yes", she sighed, "He's my old boyfriend. I understand he took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear he hasn't been sober since." "My God!" I said, "Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?" And then the fight started... ________________________________ When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run, my wife kept hinting to me that I should get it fixed. But, somehow I always had something else to take care of first, the shed, the boat, making beer.. Always something more important to me. Finally she thought of a clever way to make her point. When I arrived home one day, I found her seated in the tall grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors. I watched silently for a short time and then went into the house. I was gone only a minute, and when I came out again I handed her a toothbrush. I said, "When you finish cutting the grass, you might as well sweep the driveway." The doctors say I will walk again, but I will always have a limp. ______________________________ My wife sat down next to me as I was flipping channels. She asked, "What's on TV?" I said, "Dust." And then the fight started... ________________________________ Saturday morning I got up early, quietly dressed, made my lunch, and slipped quietly into the garage. I hooked up the boat up to the van and proceeded to back out into a torrential downpour. The wind was blowing 50mph, so I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather would be bad all day. I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed. I cuddled up to my wife's back; now with a different anticipation, and whispered, "The weather out there is terrible." My loving wife of 5 years replied, "And, can you believe my stupid husband is out fishing in that?" And that's how the fight started... _______________________________ My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary. She said, "I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 250 in about 3 seconds." I bought her a bathroom scale. And then the fight started...... ______________________________ After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security. The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's License to verify my age. I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later. The woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt'. So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair. She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me' and she processed my Social Security application. When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office. She said, 'You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten disability too.' And then the fight started... ________________________________ My wife was standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror. She was not happy with what she saw and said to me, "I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment.' I replied, "Your eyesight's dang near perfect." And then the fight started........ ________________________________ I rear-ended a car this morning...the start of a REALLY bad day! The driver got out of the other car, and he was a DWARF!! He looked up at me and said 'I am NOT Happy!' So I said, 'Well, which one ARE you then?' That's how the fight started

I was out celebrating the Holiday Season with a few friends the other night. As our night was winding down and everyone was going there separate ways, I realized that I probably had participated in a little too much "celebrating". So I decided to do something that I had never done before. I took a bus home. I made it home with no problem which is really surprising. You see, I've never driven a bus before and I don't know where I got this one. Wishing Everyone a Happy & Safe Holiday Season ! A-Jay

Me Too. A-Jay

The Little dipper makes for an excellent swim jig trailer. A-Jay

I think he does it to be noticed and so that fans will talk about him, like we're doing right now. Ike is an accomplished angler, there is no doubt about it. But for what ever reason, he hasn't been in the winner's circle much recently. So by flipping out, he gets noticed. I think it's an Act. I understand the his passion for the sport, but I think this is something else. It revolves around paying the bills. And he's the only one doing it. If Every Pro totally lost it every week - "Going Ike" would mean very little. I do not care for the "Loss of control" act he displays. Some do and the producers must like it also, as they ensure it makes it into every broadcast. It's like Reality TV, some like some don't. A-Jay

This particular statement is debatable. It may be an indication that you are not with the right person or perhaps she's a bit more mature than you're giving her credit for. Also if you've expended a nice chunk of change on something for you and the last thing you got her was a Tootsie Pop 6 months ago, this could cause a bit of a problem, especially for a girlfriend. If she's simply the flavor of the month, then you may not really care. If this woman is someone you really care for, you better figure it out and get your priorities in line. These are the "good old days" how are you spending them ? A-Jay

Who could he possibly be referring to ? A-Jay

This season I matched my PB lmb, and I saw half a dozen smb that would easily exceed my 5lb PB. So at least I know where to look next year. Fishing the clear waters here requires a somewhat stealthy approach and lighter line is the order of the day. So I don't know if this is a goal exactly, but I hate breaking off fish. Everybody does. It Really makes me crazy. I very rarely do it, but this fall I broke off two fish. And of course as we all say when this happens "That must have been a huge fish". I'm fairly retentive about my tackle, line and knots but have yet to go a whole season without at least a break off or two. For 2012, I hope to land those two fish I snap off every year. For me that would be like pitching a perfect game. A-Jay

Dwight - are you accepting cash for gps coordinates again? Shame on you . . . . A-Jay

I found this on ESPN today - it's pretty good. A-Jay http://espn.go.com/e...-take-your-pick

Done - and this thread should be locked now - don't want too many additions which will really reduce my chances of winning . . . . A-Jay

I'm quite a few rest stops north but have in-laws in Fenton (who actually like me ? ) I missed it last year so my brother-in-law went solo and got me a KVD autographed hat. I'd like to attend this year but it will depend on the road conditioins. A-Jay btw - am I the only freak that can't find the spell checker on this new version ? ?

LOL ~ never really considered if altitude came in to play there or not. A-Jay

I like this ~ so we'll be riding snow machines or will I be hitching up the dogs to a sled ? A-Jay

He said doody . . BBBAAAAHHHHH ! ! ! ! ! A-Jay

I have a few "Old Favorite" casting and spinning rods that need to be re-wrapped. So I'll be taking my time with it. Perhaps doing one guide a day would be a good pace to help make it last . . . . A-Jay

This should be a good one. The Bronco's D is pretty stout but I think the Pats will still score quite a few points. The Pats D is pathetic so the Bronco's Offense will score as well. Forecast for Sunday at Mile High is Sunny and 45 degrees. It may come down to a field goal. After the two rockets Prater launched on Sunday (59 and 51 yds respectively) I'd be hard pressed not to give the nod to the Denver Tebows. A-Jay

Congrats ! That RES certainly looks tiny next to that gapping Maw ! Additionally, and this happens every winter - I am officially envious ~ A-Jay

Looks like a bumble bee in the Astrodome ! ! ! A-Jay

Why play the guessing game, give an Angler what an Angler wants. Let them pick it. It's always difficult to determine what to purchase, how to purchase and where to purchase your items, but you can be confident that a Gift Card will be simple and convenient. Tackle Warehouse gift cards are currently being offered for 10% off. Good Luck and Happy Holidays. A-Jay

Yup and I'm a Pats Fan ! A-Jay

This is just TOO MUCH - IT'S F O O T B A L L ! ! The fundamental concept of the game is built on Unnecessary Roughness ! It's just hard to watch - forget about enjoying it. A-Jay
