12. "Oh no, there goes my brand new @%#*^ing rod and reel into the lake.' -- Muddy, July 2008

I'm not so sure about that. It appears the Jets have already made moves in the offseason for some immediate improvement with the additions of Faneca, Pace, Jenkins, Woody, and also in picking a pass rushing LB in Gholston in the draft. I'm thinking maybe 9 wins this season. But I don't have much hope for the playoffs as the AFC east will be the toughest division in all of the NFL. Of course the Jets have disappointed me one or two (or thirty) seasons already. :

It's early... they will J-E-T-S, Jets Jets Jets "Broadway Brett"... just doesn't sing!

LOL, but the punch line obviously comes from a woman's point of view. Maybe another punch line from a man's perspective might be Who are you, and what have you done with my wife?

PM sent.

There goes breakfast, yesterdays dinner, and that midnight snack! (Well one things for sure... that surely can't be considered a glam pic. ;D)

Good job catching them never pass over a pad! And knowing muddy, next time he'll just staple them to his ears.

Avid, obviously you never sampled the humble pie in your hiatus LOL. Great to have that superior wit and edgy sense of humor back amongst us mere mortals.

Muddy, the guy at the Chunk will not loose his job. He is a suck up to his boss Sally (law enforcement manager for the fish and boat commission's Northeast Region) and brings in money for the region. At first he didn't much care for the fact that I seemed to know more about the regulations than he did (I was a club tournament director for many years). But having a police officer in the boat with me, and knowing Sally, tuned down his attitude, and helps to avoid those having a bad day nonsense fines. I have subsequently found out if you ask him questions about his job and what he has encountered recently - in a nice manner, he loves to talk, and you will be golden. The only problem is, as he is talking to you for over 15 minutes, he has a tendency to drag your boat into the boulders, and you cringe as the bottom of the boat scrapes the rocks.

I got a used Javelin 18.5 ft Fishn'Ski the other year for the same reasons you described. Drawbacks: Very limited front deck fishing space, very limited storage especially for rods, and limited room to move around. Pluses: You can take more than 3 out, and the kids love it, especially the Ski aspect. I won't make any recommendations on models, but make sure when you look at them that you get up on the front deck and really consider whether or not it will satisfy your fishing needs. It may sound odd, but take along a rod and tackle box and go through the motions of how you fish (rod hook setting clearance, kneeling and changing lures with limited movement in the front deck, where your tackle box goes for easy access, etc.) Good luck.

Sorry F-F-I, but the terms Mook and reason put together is an oxymoron.

I owned the kit, and think I might have caught several bass with them years ago on an outing to Kentucky, but I can't be sure. That trip I rather enjoyed a Tiptoe Through the Mint Juleps.

God no! That so old. I'm all the way up to Windows 98 these days. : I know... pretty bad for someone who job functions also includes maintaining all the different computer systems in the company, from DOS to Windows 95, 98, Mil, 2000, XP, Vista; to an AS400.

Pals around with Aquaman, Superman, Batman, Plasticman, and Ultraman. As for GitRdoneIke23 Someone who might be interested in tickets for a day fishing on the Delaware River with Elite B.A.S.S. Pro Mike Iaconelli. It is a fund raiser for a 31 year old Philla area girl diagnosed with breast cancer who has been out of work since late March due to the chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Drawing will be September 1. $5 per ticket, $10 for 3 tickets only 750 tickets will be sold. Trip will be late October or early November, date will be agreed upon between the winner & Mike. I bought $20 worth, and if I win (and am allowed to) I will auction the winning ticket off with all proceeds going to the girl.

F-F-I I don't have that Magnifying Glass thingy, but I do have a SIZE dropdown button on my IE toolbar. It is set to Medium. When I change it to Larger or Largest nothing happens. I don't see where I can even add or get that Magnifying Glass on the IE statis bar on the bottom, even with customization. Thanks for your help though.

Nope, too lazy.... Couldn't have said it any better myself. ;D I cut and paste from the results of my own internet search engine invention... I call it CRUISE Conclusive Resource for Useless Information Search Engine. :

Some simple rules: 1. Verbs HAS to agree with their subjects. 2. Never use a preposition to end a sentence with. 3. And don't start a sentence with a conjunction. 4. It is wrong to ever split an infinitive. 5. Avoid cliches like the plague. (They're old hat.) 6. Also, always avoid annoying alliteration. 7. Be more or less specific. 8. Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are (usually) unnecessary. 9. Also too, never, ever use repetitive redundancies endlessly over and over again 10. No sentence fragments. 11. Contractions aren't always necessary and shouldn't be used to excess so don't. 12. Foreign words and phrases are not always apropos. 13. Do not be redundant; do not use more words than necessary; it's highly superfluous and can be excessive 14. All generalizations are bad. 15. Comparisons are as bad as cliches. 16. Don't use no double negatives. 17. Avoid excessive use of ampersands & abbrevs., etc. 18. One-word sentences? Eliminate. 19. Analogies in writing are like feathers on a snake (Unless they are as good as gold). 20. The passive voice is to be ignored. 21. Eliminate commas, that are, not necessary. Parenthetical words, however, should be enclosed in commas. 22. Never use a big word when substituting a diminutive one would suffice. 23. Don't overuse exclamation points!!! 24. Use words correctly, irregardless of how others use them. 25. Understatement is always the absolute best way to put forth earth-shaking ideas 26. Use the apostrophe in it's proper place and omit it when its not needed and use it correctly with words' that show possession. 27. Don't use too many quotations. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "I hate quotations.. Tell me what you know." 28. If you've heard it once, you've heard it a billion times: Resist hyperbole; not one writer in a million can use it correctly. Besides, hyperbole is always overdone, anyway. 29. Puns are for children, not groan readers. 30. Go around the barn at high noon to avoid colloquialisms. 31. Even IF a mixed metaphor sings, it should be derailed. 32. Who needs rhetorical questions? However, what if there were no rhetorical questions? 33. Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement. 34. Avoid "buzz-words"; such integrated transitional scenarios complicate simplistic matters 35. People don't spell "a lot" correctly alot of the time. 36. Each person should use their possessive pronouns correctly 37. All grammar and spelling rules have exceptions (with a few exceptions)....Morgan's Law. 38. Proofread carefully to see if you any words out. 39. The dash a sometimes useful punctuation mark can often be overused even though it's a helpful tool some of the time. 40. Proofread carefully to make sure you don't repeat repeat any words. 41. In writing, it's important to remember that dangling sentences. 41. When numbering in a written document, check your numbering system carefully. 42. It is important to use italics for emphasis sparingly. 43. In good writing, for good reasons, under normal circumstances, whenever you can, use prepositional phrases in limited numbers and with great caution. 44. Avoid going out on tangents unrelated to your subject -- not the subject of a sentence -- that's another story (like the stories written by Ernest Hemingway, who by the way wrote the great fisherman story The Old Man and the Sea). 45. Complete sentences. Like rule 10. 46. Unless you're a righteous expert don't try to be too cool with slang to which you're not hip. 47. If you must use slang, avoid out-of-date slang. Right on! 48. You'll look poorly if you misuse adverbs. 49. Use the ellipsis ( . . . ) to indicate missing . . . 50. Use brackets to indicate that you [ not Shakespeare, for example ] are giving people [ in your class ] information so that they [ the people in your class ] know about whom you are speaking. But do not use brackets when making these references [ to other authors ] excessively. 51. Note: People just can't stomach too much use of the colon. 52. Between good grammar and bad grammar, good grammar is the best. 53. There are so many great grammar rules that I can't decide between them. 54. In English, unlike German, the verb early in the sentence, not later, should be placed. 55. When you write sentences, shifting verb tense is bad.

You wink but that's exactly what I'm gonna do LOL. The Ctrl + thingy works to increase font size on the PC at home, but not the office one. It's probably all the AS400 commands loaded at startup that causes the problem.

Tried it (both Ctrl's and both +'s) and doesn't work... still old, blind and I guess owner of a dysfunctional PC.

WELCOME. Thanks, tried it, didn't work... still old and blind!

Needs to hold onto rod and reel while fishing.

Okay Glenn's been having it easy recently. So time to offer him some unsolicited advice for the BR forum, since he's keeping the enhancements top secret. 1. The green text is too small and appears blurry to some of us old guys, even with reading glasses, and the black font also looks to be too small. It would be nice to see a button on the page to increase font size, or even better yet a font increase function for the entire forum while you are visiting. (changing the computer's display setting size won't do). 2. Too much to go through to try and catch up at times. How about a button where you can see all posts in a category or topic, since your last visit and limit it to say 50 posts. (I know you have the 10 most recent posts click-through and can change the 10 to a max of 50 in the URL and hit go after 10 seconds but it doesn't do it for me.)

Likes to sing I'm turning japanese', and is changing his username this year to YamaShimOzuri.

I hear he's taking up dancin' as his new hobby... can you do the Burley Shuffle?

Not very quick on the draw.
