  1. No reason to gut a fish before filleting. Just adding an extra step to a process that should take no longer than a minute or two.
  2. Toss 'em in the trash can and buy new ones.
  3. Spock & Uhura??? Spock & Uhura???????? Felt a little jumbled to me, a little rushed. Casting wasn't bad. While I'm a fan of Simon Pegg, IMO he isn't Montgomery Scott material. Destroying Vulcan was cheap heat. Fit into the plot quite well, but it threw too many wrenches into Star Trek canon. I enjoyed it, but I would like to report JJ Abrams for rape. :-/
  4. When you go watch a moving picture, do you sit there and watch the whole flick or do you get up and go to the crapper/concession stand through the movie? I've almost ruined my underoo's several times because once I sit down, I'm not moving until the flick is over. I love long movies, but sometimes they kill my bladder/colon.
  5. Excellent! And I'm sure Deb won't mind cooking breakfast every day for 5 days for 40 guys. ;D This is gonna be a blast! I'll have the Kentucky Eggs Benedict please!
  6. It wasn't bad. Don't understand it not being in HD though.
  7. That is why IMO the chunk is a lot like buying 4" finesse worms. The craw and a 7" trick worm can accomplish the same thing with a few modifications.
  8. It looks exactly like the regular craw, only smaller. I still haven't used mine yet. Looks perfect for the Bitsy Bug.
  9. The only real difference between Shimano 2500 and 3000 is the size of the spool.
  10. Interesting moves by Hendry yesterday. Sending Scales and Cotts to Iowa and sending Miles to the DL. He then calls up a 1B, an IF, and a pitcher. Would love to know why we need three first basemen on the team and six outfielders. IMO, it's time to start thinking about sending Derek Lee elsewhere and giving Hoffpauir and Fox a look at first base. Cubs have a lot of holes. Hendry should have never shipped DeRosa to Cleveland. He would have filled a big hole at third with Ramirez on the DL. And Kerry would have been a lot better than Gregg.
  11. Don't let Tin open this thread, he'll go into shock. I've found them under my water meter cover a few times. Don't think anything about it.
  12. Inhale chlorine gas.
  13. Makes me glad I didn't buy an SI unit last month. God only knows what I would find in the two lakes I fish on a regular basis.
  14. Slimeball will have the Cats back to their glory days* really soon. Much like Satan at Bummer. * Glory days = NCAA probation
  15. Hendrick mum on future of Earnhardt's crew chief By MARK LONG, AP Sports Writer May 26, 3:33 pm EDT CONCORD, N.C. (AP)After months of firmly backing Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s crew chief, car owner Rick Hendrick was noncommittal about Tony Eury Jr.'s future Tuesday. Although Hendrick said no personnel changes have been made on Earnhardt's No. 88 Chevrolet, he declined to give Eury a vote of confidence a day after NASCAR's most popular driver was 40th in the Coca-Cola 600, his worst finish of the season. Hendrick left open the possibility that Earnhardt could have a new crew chief this weekend in Dover, Del. Could it change? Hendrick said following the sport's town hall meeting. We're talking about things. We're meeting. We're going to make decisions as the days go by. But we haven't made any decision as of right now. Earnhardt ran near the back of the pack Monday and was two laps down in the rain-shortened Coca-Cola 600, his worst showing since last season's finale in Homestead, Fla. Earnhardt wasn't involved in a wreck and didn't have mechanical problems at Lowe's Motor Speedway. His car handled poorly all afternoon. When the race was over, Earnhardt was left with his third consecutive finish outside the top 25. He's also been 20th or worse five times in the last six Sprint Cup events. We just missed a setup, Hendrick said. I can't explain why because basically we're the same, all four cars. They all fought a lot of the same problems early on. Probably as a group, we were off. We've been better at Charlotte than we were yesterday. I was disappointed; our teams were disappointed. We've got to go back and look at what we did. We just never could get (Earnhardt's) car adjusted back. His teammates did. Jimmie Johnson ran up front all day, but wound up 13th because of the final red-flag situation. Jeff Gordon finished 14th in what he called a horrendous car, and Mark Martin was three spots back after falling way behind because of a pit-road violation. Earnhardt, who was testing on the road course at Virginia International Raceway on Tuesday and unavailable for comment, was way back all day. He's been in that position often in the last 11 months. Earnhardt joined Hendrick before the 2007 season in what was arguably the biggest free-agent move in NASCAR history, and many believed getting the sport's most popular driver in the sport's best equipment would land Junior in Victory Lane early and often. It hasn't happened. He won once last season, at Michigan in June, but has been mostly mediocre in the 33 races since. He's finished outside the top 20 a telling 14 times during that stretch. Some believe the problems have started to get in Earnhardt's head. Hendrick has said he was looking for new ways to get the team turned around. He said there had been several meetings and tons of information sharing with his other teams in hopes of finding some solutions. But he's strongly backed Eury the whole way, insisting that Earnhardt's cousin and longtime crew chief is the right man for the job. Until now. Hendrick was asked specifically if Eury would be atop the pit box at Dover, but for the first time, did not give a firm confirmation. We're always concerned when we have a car that doesn't run well, Hendrick said. We're always meeting and trying to figure what to do and how to make it better. That's just an ongoing situation. We've got to come up with a plan and we've got to work toward it.
  16. Hmmmm, Shimano or Zebco.
  17. I will enjoy it.
  18. Then you must be sweeping your floor with EXTREMELY sensitive brooms. Do you feel every speck of dust you sweep over? Not an indictment of it's sensitivity. M-XF can be a bit stiff, plus I've heard (still haven't handled a Zillion rod) that the Zillions are a bit under-rated in terms of power.
  19. Bite your tongue! Mr Dale lives here in the county and grew up here. One of the few residents of this area to have a Super Bowl ring and one of only two (I think) to have two Super Bowl rings (Heath Miller of the Steelers being the other).
  20. Wow, maybe now I can get that money you owe me.
