  1. LOL... No, but my uncle might come upstate and pay you a visit. Those presumably ex CIA spy's (who never minded being in bad locations of the world whenever serious problems arose) have ways of dealing with the likes of you.

    Just Karma I guess. I've always said I could have any woman I please. (Unfortunately I never seem to please any of them)

  4. Since there seems to be some disagreement about financial terms, below is a list of several business and finance terms explained so that anyone can understand them. While they are meant to be humorous, there's also a lot of truth in many of them. Advertisement: A tool used by business to get money out of people that don't have it, for something that they don't need. Alimony: Two person mistake paid by one. Auditor: Person that arrives after battle to finish off the wounded. Bank: A place that will lend you money only when you don't need it. Bear Market: Eight months when the kids get no allowance, the wife gets no jewelry and the husband gets no you-know-what. Broker: The person that you trust with thousands of your hard earned dollars. Hello! Budget: Written proof that you can't afford the things you want. Bull Market: A random market movement causing an investor to mistake himself for a financial genius. Cash Flow: The movement your money makes as it disappears down the toilet. CEO: Chief embezzlement officer. CFO: Chief fraud officer. Day Trader: A more socially acceptable gambling addict. Discounted Stock: A stock that is less expensive than last month and more expensive than it will be next month. EBIT: Earnings before irregularities and tampering. EBITDA: Earnings before I tricked the dumb auditor. EPS: Eventual prison sentence. FRS: Fantasy reporting standards. Institutional Investor: Past year investor who is now locked up in a mental institute. Market Correction: The day after you buy stocks. Momentum Investing: the fine art of buying high and selling low. P/E Ratio: The percentage of investors wetting their pants as the market keeps crashing. Profit: A man that prays to God. Standard and Poor (S&P): Your life in a nutshell. Stock Analyst: Idiot who just downgraded your stock. Stock Market Correction: The term your broker uses for a stock market crash. Stock Split: When your former wife and her lawyer split all your assets equally between themselves. Value Investing: The art of buying low and selling lower.
  5. Any endorsements for movie versions of popular songs? I've always enjoyed the Commitments version of Mustang Sally, in the movie The Commitments (1987). Also notable was the song Ubangi Stomp by Evil Edmunds and The BeeLzeeBOPS in the movie I'll Be There (2003).

    A friend that I grew up with, who is now a university English professor, once went to a book signing by Anthony Burgess, author of A Clockwork Orange. He purchased the book and when he went to get it autographed, Burgess tore out the glossary at the end of his book before he signed it, and said something to the effect that the glossary was an abomination to his novel.
  7. I've fished several state team events at Raystown. My very first state team, I found a spot by dumb luck. If the going is tough you might want to try something unconventional. Regarding the map below, position your boat in 40 feet of water (yes... 40 feet). And work a 4 Lunker City Fin'S Fish in alewife color (soft jerkbait) all around the area. I really can't explain why this area is so productive with this technique, maybe it's a highway the bass use but I don't really know. I've had bass attack the Fin-S fish 5 at a time there. And it may sound odd, but it seems the bass travel in packs by their size, at different times through that area. The only requirement I've found is there needs to be a slight chop on the water.
  8. I only ever served on jury duty once... way back when I was eighteen (that will teach me to register to vote). And they made me jury foreman on the burglary case. Since then, whenever I was called for jury duty, I stated that I believe in Common Law (why should only judges be granted this latitude)... and I have not served on a jury since.
  9. Pickerel, catfish and the ever persistent Jimmy Hoffa tale.
  10. Excellent place if you like fishing matted weeds (or want to learn to fish matted weeds) and catch some quality bass. The weeds all around the area at the end of the runway produce the best for me. And having the planes taking off feet above your head is quite a rush also. Hit any small hole in the matted weeds with weightless Fat Ika's or Crawfish plastics is what I would recommend. Heavy line or braid, and a heavy or med/heavy rod are a must. Does this map help? http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i282/zelmonster/aeroflex.jpg
  11. Thanks Bobby for taking care of me. Odd, Bobby picked right up when I called... I've become so accustomed to auto-attendants and having to press "1" for English.

    A guy wakes up from a vasectomy and the doctor tells him he has good news and bad news. "The good news is we were able to save your testicles." "The bad news is they're under your pillow...
  13. Bobby, Been trying to order for the last half hour, and am having problems on your site with the catalog. Arhhhhhh! (UPDATE) I give up, hopefully you will still have some spinning rods left later on when the site is working.
  14. I generally avoid temptation unless I can't resist it Mae West Dang you Bobby, I wasn't going to buy any equipment this year. I hate it when I see Free Shipping. It's sorta like the Sirens of Greek mythology, with their beautiful singing, leading sailors to their deaths.
  15. Oldbassagnler, last time I went to Fairview (Jul 2008), I had great luck with a weightless Green Pumpkin GYCB Fat Ika (rigged backwards). Caught over a dozen (both SM and LM), almost all in the 3 to 5 lb range, with it. Also picked up a few nice ones in the 15ft - 25ft range off that rocky point (on the dropoff and structure had be showing on the bottom on the Fish Finder) with a Kastmaster jigging spoon.

  17. Welcome Oldbassangler. You the same guy who was had questions about Fairview last year over at EPFR? How has Fairview been treating you? Oh yeah Robby, nobody I've talked to has any info for me about the Pac, and I've asked several guys. They seem to all be concentrating their efforts in NJ.

  20. Might be interesting to see some of the cars that members have owned or leased over the years. My favorite was my first... the 1960 Corvair... unsafe at any speed baby! Mine: 1960 Chevy Corvair 1966 Plymouth Fury 1972 Chevy Camaro 1980 Chevy Citation 1985 Chevy Citation 1987 Chevy Nova 1990 Chevy S10 Blazer 2001 Chrysler Voyager Since 1994, several Jeeps either owned or leased: 2 Cherokee Sports, 1 Grand Cherokee, 2 Liberty's, and 1 Commander.
  21. Pick her up a copy of: Act like a Lady Think like a Man (bet she will never read it... or rather, never admit to reading it).
  22. You got smallies on those spots???? I only ever get largemouth there (with the odd striper thrown in on occasion).
  23. I would have protested on the spot. When I was a club tournament director, I always stated several things to the whole field before blastoff, so as not to have any miscommunication: 1. Current time according to my watch (official time), and to make sure they check their watches against my stated time. 2. Number of bass, and minimum sizes, allowed at weigh-on for the tournament (different here in PA depending on the lakes). 3. Any restrictions for the lake like speed limit, no wake area, off limits, etc. 4. Tournament end time, and that they would have to be within hearing distance of the launch (weigh-in spot) to qualify as not being late. 5. And to be safe on the water, be sure to wear their PFD's when the big engine was running, and that the co-angler should check to make sure the kill switch was hooked up to the owners PFD. (I trained my replacement to do the same)
