  1. It is quite sad that some aspects of modern art are more about explaining your work on such a pretentious level as to alienate most people but still appeal to a select few who have influence and/or money to popularize and buy the junk. I'll spend good money for a painting I like, but I won't spend one cent on a painting that I could do with two cans of paint and a roller, or looks like a 4 year old did it with mom's lipstick.
  2. You're already a winier with us Cliff. In fact you're number 1... oh sorry... wrong finger. Good Luck.
  3. That one did not have any fish in it? Me so funny.
  4. No further news whether she was: making a cell phone call, texting, applying make-up, shaving or eating a bowl of cereal. Fortunately the last three are not illegal yet here in Ontario, so shave away. On a more serious side... While it is clearly wrong to do what she was doing, it is not on a public road, or a vehicle that is licensed for public roads. I wonder if there is a loop hole? Hope not. More proof that you can't fix stupid.
  5. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/sto...tional/Ontario/ Woman's erratic driving of Zamboni spurs charges The Canadian Press November 1, 2008 Kingsville, Ont -- A 34-year-old woman has been charged with impaired driving - on a Zamboni. Provincial police say an off-duty officer spotted the woman driving erratically on the ice resurfacer at Kingsville Arena on Thursday night. The driver was missing major spots on the ice and bumping into the boards. At one point, police allege, the woman stopped the Zamboni and slumped over the steering wheel. Police say they found a bottle of vodka on the woman. She was arrested and charged with impaired operation of a motor vehicle and driving over the legal alcohol limit.
  6. I am not participating in the discussion about the proposed hand held device ban in some cars in Ontario. But I would like to see a complete ban on cell phones for the people at sporting events who are in the TV camera's line of sight. STAND UP AND WAVE "Can you see me now?!" ..... "Can you see me now?!" .... "Can you see me now?!" Sit down hole and watch the game, it would be a real shame if you got hit in the head by a puck or baseball. Ahhh, I feel better now, off to bed.
  7. The American Sportfishing Association (ASA) polled their Legacy program members to name the products that had the most impact on the sport in the past 75 years. Here's the results: Gear-Driven Electric trolling motor (Minn Kota, 1934) Original floating Rapala (1936) Spring-loaded Bobber (Nibble Nabber, 1947) Mitchell 300 spinning reel (1949) Creme Plastic worm (1949) Closed face spincast reel (Zero hour bomb company. 1949) Fish Lo-K-Tor (Lowrance Electronics, 1957) Nylon Monofilament line (DuPont/Stren, 1958) High Modulus Graphite rod (Fenwick, 1972) Ugly Stik (Shakespeare, 1976)
  8. Line watchin' with a floro or mono leader.
  9. I'd say "begrüßen" but since I don't speak German I'll just say "welcome".
  10. You mentioned in your initial report that this in not the first time you've matched your PB. Does this "wonder guide" also gives any tips on how not to get a puncture wound in the first place? Good on you Dawg, for taking pictures during your surgery. I can just see you workin' that lure off the split-ring, holding the camera and a smoke dangling from your mouth all at the same time.
  11. George Carlin (rip) Had a bit about the increased prevalence of soft language. I'm sure you can find it on the net. The gist of it is using words that mean the same thing but don't sound as "bad". It's along the lines of political correctness but not exactly the same.
  12. Welcome. A lot of members use photobucket to host/post photos so that you don't have to resize them. I can use it, but I'm not the one to explain how to. http://photobucket.com/
  13. So when you park in the township's parking lot and then walk to the township's office to buy a permit to be on township land do they also hand you a trespassing ticket? Essa will never get any monies from me, I will never fish their streams and therefore not be picking-up any garbage left by others. Lots of other places to fish and do stream clean-ups. Honour, principle and ethics.
  14. Let know if anybody needs some ballast. I'll have any extra piece of pumpkin pie this weekend, just to make sure I make weight.
  15. No, I'm not going, I was born in the 70's. Have fun.
  16. For those that don't already have it. WFN is on 419 and wild tv is 389.
  17. That reminds me that Thanksgiving is next week. I better find my Big-Boy pants.
  18. From Time magazine: Greenwashing is misleading marketing about the environmental benefits of a product. Web sites to help consumers identify greenwashing: http://www.greenwashing.net/ www.terrachoice.com
  19. When do you want to start drawing the money? Getting rich quick is hit or mostly miss, and the brokers make all the $$$. If your talking 15 plus years down the road, invest in the market. The market always will go up. The rich get richer by buying stocks from people panicking. The other option is real estate. Location, location, location. That will be $134.00 Mr. Quesnel.
  20. Flight school ...$20000 Flight hours to get pilots license... $15000 Owning and flying your own float plane... $180000 Landing on a remote lake and "borrowing" a 75 cent beer from a root admin and then posting the photo on the board... PRICELESS!!! Disclaimer: All figures (including the beer) are completely made-up and may not reflect true market value.
