Dan:

That's not true. Most of the people who get swept up into Islamic fanaticism are actually well educated youths. But all this is besides the point. Didn't we have a post like last week about an 8 year old American boy who was killed because he was allowed to handle an uzi? Stupidity knows no borders.

Well there ya go, that's why I took the SAT instead of the ACT.

Definitely check with the counselor. If your school has a good one, he/she will be the best resource available to you. What the heck is the ACT? Do people still take the SAT?

dang, Catt. I'm going to have to save that one.

why didn't the cameraman say something?

lol, diarrhea falls

just give them a call. Lots of times they have side doors where you can just knock and drop stuff off with someone.

they really built up some speed there check these out: 1 Watch the first one at the end. They are shot at Whistler, a ski resort in Canada that has crazy mountain biking trails in the summer. They have these crazy ramps they build like thin roads that go up into the trees and stuff. Some of them lead up to giant jumps, but most in the videos aren't that big.

I have also fallen in love with the black foam and I don't even have a rod with it yet. I am looking into a custom made rod with black foam (all black rod actually) to pair with a silver Citica E Your collection makes me jealous.

That's actually a pretty good gift idea for my roommate. Thanks!

geez, talk about speaking too soon. And come on, Troy? Sure they may be "solid", but a "solid" Sunbelt team should never be able to go up 31-3 on a team with the recruiting, money, and reputation that LSU has...

the games is AT LSU, isn't it? wth happened to LSU this year?

There is still a while for people to sign up, don't worry, I think we'll get more participants. Just as a reminder, the last day to sign up is December 5th

Being a senior in college, I have received a few emails about certain programs that involve reserve training during the summer that pays like $4000 each summer while you are at school, then you serve after you graduate as an officer. I would look into the ways that you can get the military to pay for school, like ROTC and other stuff. I think there are some programs that most people probably don't know about. I wish that I had done some sort of ROTC or officer program sometimes.

I had that same rod but now I use a MF Legend Tournament. I would suggest a Medium or Medium Heavy rating (in whatever rod you get, not necessarily a LT) instead of a Medium Light because it will be more versatile as far as what types of lures you can throw.

Yeah, I am still above most of the minimum requirements for modern games but they don't play well enough to be worthwhile. I could barely play COD4 on my PC, it just isn't the same if it isn't running well.

I've never seen anything so beautiful :'( (I say with three empty bottles of Dew on my desk)

wow, that is unbelievable. I would love to come across that with a rod and reel in hand.

the reaction strike hooks are pretty good, as are the Critterbait hooks. you can get both at ***.

6GB of RAM!?! Jesus Christo! I don't think my machine would run it well enough to make it worthwhile. I only have 1.5GB RAM and a Geforce 6800 on a P4 with 3ghz It was almost top of the line when I bought it four years ago as a freshmen... :-[

I will be modifying the two posts at the end of page 1 with participant updates and any additional information. Please check there for updated info.

I think it would probably be best to keep it fishing related because most people aren't going to know the person they are getting a gift for very well. We all pretty much know that anyone here will like something fishing related.

Alright, I've got a spreadsheet with info from everyone participating so far. I'm glad I can finally make use of Microsoft Excel! ;D Glenn and/or mods, would it be possible to make this a temporary sticky until Christmas so that we can keep people updated more easily?
