I got the call "from Microsoft" yesterday. He said my computer had a virus that it was spreading world wide! I told that was terrible. He asked me to hit my "control" key, I told him it didn't work. He asked why and I said because he told me it was infected, I stuffed Kleenex into all the holes on the key board to prevent further spread. I then asked him if he could help me get the cup holder in my computer to stay open. I then called him a fraud, a leech and words I can't say here... It was fun! Just beware, Microsoft DOES NOT CALL YOU!!! Following this scum's instructions will give him control of your computer. Have fun with them and the most hurtful thing you can do to them, is waste their time. Acting dumb as a rock to a guy stealing can be fun! HH

That does sound good Lew! I've never bbq'd it before! Brilliant! HH

Well, you asked for it! I'm a big fan of liver and no one else in my house would even sit on it! So, I decided one day that I would try something different for myself and picked up some baby beef liver. I cut it open like a pita, stuffed it with Havarti cheese and tomato sauce. Closed the "pocket" with tooth pics and breaded the liver like I would fish. (Egg wash, flour and breadcrumbs) A quick fry until golden brown and it was excellent! How's that for thinkin outside the box!? HH

Uhm, just a thought, but at what size generally do musky stop effectively spawning? I know that with pickereye, once they reach a certain size, their ability to create eggs diminishes. Would that also be true of muskies? Are we protecting the wrong fish? HH

I bet it oinked Wayne! Nice fish! You don't see the Bay that flat this time of year very often! Congrats and thanks for posting! HH

Holy cow Cliff! Who knew you had that kind of talent! I guess we know who's makin dessert for our next gtg... where do you put the ketchup? LOL HH

Another Long Point Bay adventure... Mid-70's, we are out on a family adventure to the Bay. We are four of us in our 14ft fiberglass "run about". Mom's sitting right behind me casting a Mepps number 3 dressed. She reached back to whip out the Mepps, but kinda miss judged her back swing. Yup, I've now got two of the trebles imbedded in the top of my head! She whipped it so hard, the drag ripped as the hooks sunk into my head. (now that was quite an accomplishment, because in order to make my mom happy, my dad had to crank the drag down on the Mitchell 300) So, there we are, floating a good 5 miles from shore, with my mom giving me what for, for my head being in the way of her cast! So, dad grabs the pliers and starts reefing in the Mepps! He did eventually get it out and yes, the bleeding did eventually stop. LOL To this day, I can't even look at a Mepps with a dressed hook without getting a shiver run down my spine! #2. Was fishing the Hartley Bay area with some buds, outta a canoe. We were a good two hour paddle from the launch, late 70's time frame. As the day was wearing on, we decided to troll back to camp. I hooked a small pike. I flipped it into the canoe and reached out for it to get the hook out. Well, this pike was like every other pike known to man and it did the usual freak out. (I was using a Rebel minnow bait with three trebles) I ended up with two of the three hooks, imbedded in my baby finger. First step, kill the fish! Second step, get the lure unhooked from my line. 3rd step, paddle back to camp for an hour with a Rebel lure hanging off my finger! Once back at camp, we realize that we don't have a first aid kit, but we do have a roll to TP and a roll of masking tape. I had to cut the hooks outta my own finger as my buddy was turning green just looking at the embedded hook. I lost all feeling in that finger for the better part of 5 years! Yah, yah gotta love fishing! I won't talk about the time my brother sat on a big ole musky bait out in the Moon River basin. Al three trebles jammed onto his bottom. His wife had to put him in the bed of the p/u truck, laying in his belly on their way to the clinic. Apparently, the doctor was laughing so hard, he had a hard time staying focused! HH

Well, if he had a smart meter in his boat at the time, maybe the auditor general would get involved! HH

I bought a floating fillet knife. We were out on Long Point Bay and I mention to my buddy that my new fillet knife floats. So I hang it over the side and let go... it sank like a stone! Apparently it only floats when it's not in the sheath! Never got to use it once! HH

I also really like Eric Cartman's version of " Oh holy night" HH

Youtube "South Park" Xmas, and you will find out Simon! Word of warning though, make sure that the wife is out, the boys at school and Roloff is far from the computer. It could scar them for life! LOL HH

Eric Frolick! Right after the hockey game, it was on to wrestling for us, and there was always the "duration match with Eric Frolick, barefoot, showing real skill in the ring, until the bad guy pulverized him just before the bell! HH

If I posted my favorite Xmas song, I'd be taking a chance on getting banned here! Let's just say that it's "Xmas time in H E double hockey sticks"! HH

Sweet Daddy Siki owns a bar at Queen and Leslie in Toronto - The Duke. They do karaoke! HH

Well, many of us have an affliction that can only be described as GAS! Gear Acquisition Syndrome! We buy stuff and sell stuff, seeking the holy grail of what ever the heck it is we are gassing for. So I thought, with the year coming to an end soon, we could talk about what we bought in 2014 and what we are "wanting" in 2015. In all honesty, I didn't buy much this year, a simple 6.5ft jigging rod and a new low budget spinning reel; that's it! Probably not getting much else this coming year as my fishing time has been drastically reduced having recently become a "hockey dad". So, what did you get and what's on the radar for 2015? HH

Ouch Gerritt! Can't say I have seen any of it since Rowdy Roddy Piper retired. Always good for a laugh! HH

I've bought and sold from both Kijiji and Craig's List. All guitars and or amplifiers. I have a fair amount of knowledge on value of such things and I do look every day for folks unloading stuff all the while not really knowing what they have. So far, I have bought; -Marshall bass amp valued at $3200.00 for $1000. -$3,500 bass guitar for $600. I've sold a bass on Kijiji for $400 more than I paid for it brand spanking new! (That sale has funded many other purchases since!) When selling musical instruments, the need to try out everything is quite real. All my transaction have taken place in my living room. That said, I always spend time on the phone with these folks before providing my address. If I get even the slightest inclining that something isn't right, I'm done with them. So far, I have had great luck/success... but would probably have even better luck, if I could talk myself into selling stuff instead of buying all the time! Misinformed sellers are probably the most difficult for me. The article may be worth X amount to the seller, but that doesn't necessarily make the item that value! HH

The government recently released up till now, unpublished cell numbers. Expect telemarketers to be calling you cell form now on. Probably best to assign your cell number to the no call list. HH

Op, sounds to me like you have circulation problems in your hands. I would suggest that before you address your glove problem, you consider looking into your circulation issue. Have you tried using a squeeze ball? Maybe consider taking up an instrument (guitar/piano) to help increase your circulation. If you are starting you trip with ice cold hands, I can't see how well gloves are going to help, given your starting point. HH

Clark! Is that you Clark?! HH

Joey, if you are a relatively long time Rogers customer, I suggest you call them when you have some time and ask to speak to the Customer Retention department. I had words with them recently regarding service issues and was sent to that department. Got my cell plan lowered, my cable plan lowered, my internet capacity/speed upped and fee lowered and the $2.00 fee for billing eliminated. The war between Rogers and Bell for customers has really put the customer in the driver seat, if you talk to the correct people. HH

Well, this thread has inspired me to rustle up some Chicken Paprikash for dinner tonight! Gonna add some island flavor by using coconut milk instead of chicken stock! HH

Just so yah know, water only intensifies the effect of heat, so don't use it to stop the burn! If you are suffering from too much heat, milk is the answer! HH

Well, being of Hungarian and German background, I have a few. -Paprikash- chicken or beef -home made strudel -Letcho (sp) - fried onions, bell peppers with fried chicken liver, then add scrabbled eggs I to, worked downtown for a number of years. I have grown to love; -goat roti -Oxtails -BBQ duck and pork and roast pork Man, I could go on and on! (The other day, I decided to try my hand at Rouladen for the first time... I was told in no uncertain terms, it's a keeper!) HH

Real happy for yah Bernie! Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy! HH
