he actually comes pre-trained to ask to go out so i lucked out there...i still hate him though...ugly freakin monkey he is...how am i supposed to take that thing fishing with me...honestly... ...on the bright side, he'll distract the cougar just long enough for me to get outta sight...

Dave "The Bait Chucking Bully Killer" Devlin...

every time i see your name i think of a tree...

don't forget all those other UFC fighters that HAVE to have a nickname...most notably, Keith "The Dean of Mean" Jardine...

not a "complete" idiot...just a bit eccentric...

i am suddenly getting deja vu of the dating game.........

regardless of the day, anyone that wants to catch a fish better get there early...especially with the amount of water open...

funny...i thought i heard this somewhere before...like around two days ago...

ya.....no....not happening chris...

keep reaching for that rainbow dave...

he's looking for those chicks who "fly fish" not fly fish...

sorry...bad backcast...

in response to some negative PM's i received (not naming names here), if anyone wants to dig out a fly they tied previously to enter, go for it...my whole reasoning for not wanting previously tied flies going on here goes way back to the old FFA forum where people weren't trying to tie something cool or special, they were just digging through their fly boxes or what have you to find a fly that looked good enough (i still remember that one guy PMing me in the old forum and telling me that he bought the fly to post...go figure)...i personally don't think that is fair to those who put in the time to put a fly in for a contest...but if those who PM'd me with those kind words are worried bout it, then go ahead a dig through the archives if you wish to do so...

the funny thing is that i never thought of FFC as a place to pick up chicks...oh well, to each his own i guess...good luck Mudflap...

and then you wake up...

does that include GT snow racers?

for you rick... "Scientists for Health America suggested that, considering the results of a recent analysis that revealed the presence of female hormones in beer, men should take a concerned look at their beer consumption. The theory is that beer contains female hormones (as hops contain phytoeostrogens) and drinking it may turn men into women. To test the theory, 100 men were given 6 bottles of beer each to drink within a one hour period. It was then observed that 100% of the men gained weight, talked excessively without making sense, became overly emotional, couldn't drive, failed to think rationally, argued over nothing, refused to apologize when obviously wrong, and had to sit down while urinating. No further testing was considered necessary."
