Wow, this is dumb. Muddy, come on dude, you just came in and totally crapped on his thread. You basically said RHCP sucks and has no talent. People have different tastes and arguing about them is pointless. Did he ruin any of your music threads? No, because he didn't have anything nice to say so he said nothing.

Anthony Kiedis is reportedly very self conscious about singing live.

I caught a big pike at my local hole last fall. This winter I bought some wire leaders to use with my new swimbaits just in case.

If I have an order for TW that is less than $50 I just bookmark my stuff and wait. I continue to add bookmarks as I find things I want or new things come out. Once I get over $50 I place the order.

I rarely order anything from BPS now that I have discovered ***.

The rule is not that they have to have played in college for three years, they just have to be out of high school for three years. But mostly the reason is like RW said, they just didn't like their schools for various reasons. LaVar Arrington went to Penn State but he liked to use his high school for his introduction. So does Willie Parker because he was unhappy with his experience at UNC.

Nice, another member of the stealth rod club.

I didn't really care who won but I was routing for Kurt Warner. It really was a good game. I thought it was better than last year's but not by much. The halftime show sucked. Bruce Springsteen is a joke. I don't really know who the producers were targeting with that choice.

Yeah, what a waste. Even if he doesn't get disqualified or tested or anything, he will still lose endorsements. I've heard he really just let the fame go to his head since the Olympics and that he's been acting like a wide-receiver ever since.

I don't know exactly what you mean by "assembly required" but why would you buy something if you didn't know how to use it?

Did you miss the fish ON the hookset or did you get the fish on the hook and then have it come off as you were fighting it?

Hmmm. I'm going to have to go give 1/4oz a shot on mine. I took it out and cast 3/8 just fine but I haven't tried 1/4oz yet. If you can't get it to cast 1/4oz like you want it to, then I would replace it with a spinning rod/reel. I think spinning is the best bet for 1/4 and lower.

that is a great deal. What type of grip, guides, wraps, etc.. did you get?

That is strange. Maybe send an email to yahoo's support. Or you could just use google ;D

I haven't noticed dirt or grime on my EVA while my cork grip rods get pretty dirty, even after a short time. Also, I don't like the feeling of cork in my hand when my hands and the cork are very dry. I think that's just me being weird though.

I use keel weighted hooks when I want to fish them a bit lower.

arcticcat, What did you end up paying for it?

Zero of those are cases in which one side had an "overwhelming" advantage over the other. And I should clarify that I am talking about a unipolar system of power that we have now, not the systems we had in the past.

in before locked. Overwhelming military power is thought to be an important method of global stability and deterrence.

Yeah, but the less material there is on the blank, the less there is to muffle vibrations. Think of it like putting your hand on a snare drum. Touching the vibrating surface kills the vibrations by absorbing them. It's the same with cork. I don't know if that little bit less cork makes any noticeable differences but I like to think it does.

Yup, I was guessing it was a Ken doll. I removed that out of my original post just in case I was wrong. I didn't want to sound like a weirdo.

1/4lb.

Bear Grylls, 'nuff said.

Nice! I believe mine is the RX7 so I can't give you any info on the RX8. Make sure to post some pics when you get it

Is there any easy way to get the line to go on the spool evenly? I'm used to level wind mechanisms and this is driving me CRAZY!
