You could have gotten kids involved with that by planning ahead and offering the one with the most trash wins a prize and get the local pizza place to donate food and drinks. I have seen this kind of thing done in the past. Also help clean up the area faster if more people help. Then ya can fish sooner...

ETU BRUTUS?.........lol

NICE ONE....lol.....that was good

You guys are just TERRIBLE, guess that is why I keep coming back...lmao... :

Get the best directions from NY to London from google..lol: Take 60 seconds to do this. I guarantee you will show someone else; it's too funny not to. 1. go to www.google.com 2. click on "maps" 3. click on "get directions" 4. type "New York" in the first box (the "from" box) 5. type "London" in the second box (the "to" box) 6. scroll down to step #23 for directions...

I enjoyed my 2 yrs on the Michigan Div. Did really crappy my first yr, but ended up 14th last year. Is always a great way to learn how others fish. Which helped my team tournament partner and I do better in our regular team trail. We ended up 21st out of 250 teams that were listed. We have over 1000 teams to compete against. So, will it help improve the way you fish? Darn tooten it will.

It is a very tradgic thing that happened, but I don't feel that things would have been different if someone else had a gun with them. They could just as easily shot an innocent while trying to hit Hui. Then Hui would get a chance to shoot him. I am for the 2nd amendment, but that only says we have the right to bear arms...not use them...so we do need some kind of gun control, but what kind and how do you enforce it? I sure don't think we all need a CW permit. In the military and police they are taught to shoot in defense or when shot at. In the old days...when hunting...shoot once and accuratly for the enemy might be close by...don't give away position. In gangs....if ya pull a weapon you better know how to use it, cause you might have to. I don't know...mixed feelings on this.

OMG......Here I thought everyone would be happy about that...lol

Yes Please Doug S.(tritonman) Yes Please...Steve M.(squid)

AHHH MAN........lol...I didn't see that coming...lol

As you can see I finally got them to get me a new keyboard...woo hoo...NO MORE CAPS for me. Now if ya see me in all CAPS...go ahead and complain....lol

HAVE TO GIVE CREDIT FOR THESE TO MY MOM....SHE FINDS THEM EVERYDAY.

Authorities ID gunman in Va. Tech rampage College president says gunman was a student; 33 killed, 12 still in hospital Virginia Tech Cho Seung-Hui, who immigrated to the United States at age 8 in 1992, lived in Centreville, Va., a suburb of Washington. View related photos Video: Massacre at Virginia Tech Police identify shooter April 17: Police say Virginia Tech senior Cho Seung-Hui was responsible for Monday's deadly campus massacre. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timeline of shootings at Virginia Tech First on the scene College president discusses massacre Witnesses tell of Virginia shootings Their sisters were massacre victims Never forgotten Healing the physical wounds Slide show Massacre See images from the aftermath of the deadliest shooting in U.S. history. NBC, MSNBC and news services Updated: 20 minutes ago BLACKSBURG, Va. - A 23-year-old senior from South Korea was behind the massacre of at least 30 people locked inside a university classroom building in the deadliest shooting rampage in modern U.S. history, the university said Tuesday. Ballistics tests also found that one of the guns used in that attack was also used in a shooting two hours earlier at a dormitory that left two people dead at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Virginia State Police said. Police identified the shooter as Cho Seung-Hui (pronounced Choh Suhng-whee), of Centreville, Va., who was a senior in the English Department at Virginia Tech. Cho, a resident alien who immigrated to the United States from South Korea in 1992, lived on campus in Harper Residence Hall. The bloodbath ended with Cho's suicide, bringing the death toll from two separate shootings first at the dormitory, then in a classroom building to 33 and stamping the campus in the picturesque Blue Ridge Mountains with unspeakable tragedy. He was a loner' He was a loner, and we're having difficulty finding information about him, said Larry Hincker, the university's associate vice president for community relations. Cho's fellow residents of Harper Hall said few people knew the gunman, who kept to himself. He can't have been an outgoing kind of person, Meredith Daly, 19, of Danville, Va., told MSNBC.com's Bill Dedman. Students live six to a suite, said Stephen Scott, a freshman engineering student from Marlton, N.J., and do not necessarily know other residents. Scott said police and FBI agents went through the dorm Monday night showing a picture of Cho and trying to find anybody who recognized or knew him. He did not know whether they were successful. Scott said the prevailing mood among the students was one of stunned resignation. We're confused, outraged, in disbelief. This is such a beautiful campus, he said, his voice trailing off. In Centreville, where Cho's family lived in an off-white, two-story townhouse, people who knew Cho concurred that he kept to himself. He was very quiet, always by himself, said Abdul Shash, a neighbor. Shash said Cho spent a lot of his free time playing basketball and would not respond if someone greeted him. He described the family as quiet. South Korea's Foreign Ministry expressed its condolences, saying that there was no known motive for the shootings and that South Korea hoped the tragedy would not stir up racial prejudice or confrontation. Ballistics evidence points to student Two law enforcement officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because the information had not been officially announced, said Cho's fingerprints were found on the two guns used in the shootings. The serial numbers had been filed off, the officials said. A law enforcement official said Cho was carrying a backpack that contained receipts for the purchase of a Glock 9mm pistol in March. Col. Steve Flaherty, superintendent of the Virginia State Police, said it was reasonable to assume that Cho was the shooter in both attacks but that the link was yet definitive. There's no evidence of any accomplice at either event, but we're exploring the possibility, he said. At least 26 people were taken to hospitals after the second attack, some of them seriously injured. Twelve students remained in hospitals in stable condition Tuesday, officials said. Bush to attend service State, local and federal investigators spent the night collecting, processing and analyzing evidence from within Norris Hall, which housed engineering classes, offices and laboratories. The deceased were recovered from at least four classrooms on the second floor and a stairwell. Cho was discovered in a classroom among the victims. All of the deceased were transported to the medical examiner's office in Roanoke for examination and identification. The names of the deceased students and faculty will be released once all of the victims are positively identified and their families are notified. President Bush planned to attend a memorial service Tuesday afternoon at the university, the White House said, and Gov. Timothy Kaine was flying back to Virginia from Tokyo for the 2 p.m. convocation.
