Find you one by the road that someone has put off, I prefer the real skinny ones. Feed them and they will walk through fire and back for you. I picked up a mama dog at the river and she had ten pups with her. I managed to find a home for nine of the pups. I kelp mama and one pup I named Slinky, he is one of a kind. He will sit in the yard and look up a the sky for five or ten minutes at the time. My friend said he was looking for a space ship to come and take him back home. ;D

Time once again to announce the winners of the Annual "Stella Awards." The Stella Awards are named after 81 year-old Stella Liebeck who spilled hot coffee on herself and successfully sued McDonald's (in NM). That case inspired the Stella Awards for the most frivolous, ridiculous, successful lawsuits in the United States. Here are this year's winners: 5th Place (tie): Kathleen Robertson of Austin, Texas, was awarded $80,000 by a jury of her peers after breaking her ankle tripping over a toddler who was running inside a furniture store. The owners of the store were understandably surprised at the verdict, considering the misbehaving little toddler was Ms. Robertson's son 5th Place (tie): 19-year-old Carl Truman of Los Angeles won $74,000 and medical expenses < BR>when his neighbor ran over his hand with a Honda Accord. Mr. Truman apparently didn't notice there was someone at the wheel of the car when he was trying to steal his neighbor's hubcaps. 5th Place (tie): Terrence Dickson of Bristol, Pennsylvania, was leaving a house he had just finished robbing by way of the garage. He was not able to get the garage door to go up since the automatic door opener was malfunctioning. He couldn't re-enter the house because the door connecting the house and garage locked when he pulled it shut. The family was on vacation, and Mr. Dickson found himself locked in the garage for eight days. He subsisted on a case of Pepsi he found, and a large bag of dry dog f ood. He sued the homeowner's insurance claiming the situation caused him undue mental anguish. The jury agreed, to the tune of $500,000. In my opinion this is so outrageous that it should have been 2nd Place ! 4th Place : Jerry Wi lliams of Little Rock, Arkansas, was awarded $14,500 and medical expenses after being bitten on the buttocks by his next door neighbor's beagle. The beagle was on a chain in its owner's fenced yard. The award was less than sought because the jury felt the dog might have been just a little provoked at the time by Mr. Williams who had climbed over the fence into the yard and was shooting it repeatedly with a pellet gun. 3rd Place : A Philadelphia restaurant was ordered to pay Amber Carson of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, $113,500 after she slipped on a soft drink and broke her coccyx (tailbone). The beverage was on the floor because Ms. Carson had thrown it at her boyfriend 30 seconds earlier dur ing an argument. 2ndPlace: Kara Walton of Claymont, Delaware , successfully sued the owner of a night club in a neighboring city when she fell from the bathroom window to the floor and knocked out her two front teeth. This occurred w hile Ms. Walton was trying to sneak through the window in the ladies room to avoid paying the $3.50 cover charge . She was awarded $12,000 and dental expenses 1st Place : This year's runaway winner was Mrs. Merv Grazinski of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Mrs. Grazinski purchased a brand new 32-foot Winnebago motor home. On her first trip home, (from an OU football game), having driven onto the freeway, she set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the driver's seat to go into the back & make herself a sandwich. Not surprisingly, the RV left the freeway, crashed and overturned. Mrs.Grazinski sued Winnebago for not advising her in the owner's manual that she couldn't actually do this. The jury awarded her $1,750,000, plus a new motor home. The company actually changed their manuals on the basis of this suit, just in case there were any other complete morons around.

Anybody have any updated info for Kentucky Lake ( Paris Landing ) area. Have some friends that have a tournament there next week. Any info would be appreciated.

I have two of them under my barn and I found a skin in my attic. Didn't bother to tell my wife about the skin.

They are just showing you a hard way to make a living.

You and that Black snake could of had some fun this time of year. ;D That thing will chase you like a dog as long as you are running, once you stop running he will stop chasing you. ;D

Remember when you looked at TV and seen those little Chinese running around pulling the little carts and riding bicycles. Well thats what you are fixing to do in the USA. It's not so much the oil companies as it is China and India economy growing. That is why they are outsourcing every thing to India and everything you buy in the US is made in China. Just my thought.

I came in 4th and the trestle is at Gaston. The one above Hamilton is fixing to fall in the river. The center column has moved about three feet since March. Now thats going to be a big splash.

I made a 128 mile run Saturday and ended up with nothing It took 38 gals of gas ( 3.368 mpg ) this was metal to the carpet speeds. Sunday at the same river I had a limit in 30 minutes and didn't burn about 3 gal. of gas. Hmmm I think Preacher hit the pipeline before I got there Saturday.

Happy birthday TF.

Try paying your bill!!! ;D

Well here I am!!!

My picture is hanging at the Post Office ;D

Double check your drag, don't point the rod at the fish, you need to let him fight the rod not the line. I'm assuming you are using a medium to medium light rod for the small line. Also check the eyes on your rod to make sure none are damaged. You can do this by pulling a small amount of cotton through them and see if any hangs on the eyes. How old is your line?

I can't say much on this, I have seen the day I might have done something like that. But those days are long gone. :-/ Are have they just ceased for a while.

Way to go Glenn!!! Now tell me how to get the fools from using all my fax paper up. I get about two every day about trips and such. Tried calling the 800 number but they keep coming.

Yep they are every where, I seen one tonight at the gas station trying to suck the gas out of the hose. ;D

Yep I got a Mitchell combo I caught.

Have you ever seen one of our military walking past you and wanted to convey to them your thanks, but weren't sure how or it felt awkward? Recently, a gentleman from Seattle created a gesture which could be used and has started a massive movement to get the word out. Please everybody take just a moment to watch.... The Gratitude Campaign ...and then forward it to your friends! http://www.gratitudecampaign.org/shortmovie.php

Buy Wilcohess if possible. The chain letter will work but everyone would have to join in. Hey there is fifteen thousand on here why not try it and see, it can't hurt. We have got to start somewhere. I have already cut off four mobile phones, we are going to a 4/10 work week. I have gas hogs that I have to have to haul my equipment with. I can't run out and buy small vehicles to work with. And they won't pull my boat either. So what you say want to give a try and see, it ain't going to cost you anymore.

A young boy enters a barber shop and the barber whispers to his customer 'This is the dumbest kid in town.... watch while I prove it to you.' The barber puts a dollar bill in one hand and two quarters in the other, then calls the boy over and asks 'Which do you want, son?' The boy takes the quarters and leaves. 'What did I tell you?' said the barber. 'That kid never learns!' Later, when the customer leaves, he sees the same young boy coming out of the ice ream store. 'Hey, son! May I ask you a question... why did you take the quarters instead of the dollar bill?' The boy licked his cone and replied 'Because the day I take the dollar, the game's over!'

Yep got a couple of them in the neighborhood.

What you see now will only get worse, so just dump her before it goes to far. Life is to short and the last thing you need is a complainer.

Yea they do over kill on the catalogs. They should take the money that it costs to make them and reduce the price of their goods.

Didn't know they cost that much, wonder what I can get for mine?
