Pookie, I'm writing up a living will tonight, leaving the SD cards out of both of my graphs with every brushpile in both OH and JPP clearly marked.

The BIG fish icons will be where the rockfish and hybrids hang out and the medium sized icons will be where the trash fish like the green and brown carp, er, I mean, bass stack up and can be caught like bluegills. They do make tasty filets, especially the 14" and unders.

I'll have the wife get ahold of you in the event of my untimely demise, which could happen at any moment, given the ferocity of the pundits remarking on my fine attributes.

Use the SD cards in good health and think of me kindly as you haul another fish fry of LM and Sm bass over the side!

TK, can I change my username to USELESSSONE? It has a bit of savoir-faire, a certain cache, albeit a uniqueness to it.

It would set me apart from the run of the mill names......well, you know which ones I'm talking about.http://fishingtn.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

Not only do I not approve of the profanity, name calling and really the general Jest of any verbal altercations ... Because all this does is interrupts the continuity of the FTI Family and membership and our objective.... NO I DON'T APPROVE !

Now FishingTN.com has been a community service for 16 years and what I have learned is, periodically the interruptions stick their nasty heads , either an issue like was just locked. or many other issues. My Staff and I have seen many over the years . For instance, Catch and Release or mentioning a sweet honey hole, etc. And as usual on both sides of the issue there are pros and cons ...

I am not going to take sides in any issue if the subject has merit and creates food for thought. But I will control the way it is being presented .. And if it gets out of hand I will stop it.

As far as a Set rule or Law about profanity and if used you are automatically barred. Well that is not going to happen ... Anyone can have a bad day at the office. Or maybe to many after dinner adult beverages, after a bad day at the office. There are to many laws, rules and government control in our daily lives now. I am not going to be a hypocrite and add more. Besides I would be foolish to add a law set in FTI concrete ... That I may even get barred..

Walt, I appreciate your thoughts ... I am going to go back and edit some of the posts to bring us back to "Family oriented status" .. Thanks again<'TK>< :)

Well TK, I appreciate your thoughts too. But you have to understand that if my grandson takes home a 'new word' (like an F-bomb) to his mommy, this here Peepaw is in some deep trouble! LOL

My simple fix is he won't be getting on this site anymore, unless I monitor it first. He really would've loved those great walleye photos!

I attended the FTI picnic this summer. Met some great folks there too. I hope everyone gets cooled back down so we can get on with comparing some fish notes again. Speaking of, I was down by the 109 bridge today and OH's water looks pretty decent despite the rain. Now go catch 'em and save them F-bombs for when a big OH rockfish breaks your line :)

Walt .. will look again ... <'TK><

I went back over the post but did not see F-bombs ... will look again ... Sorry If I missed them ... Also I met you and your wife at the last gathering ... Rick Duty holds you in high regard for your fishing knowledge ...<'TK>< :)

Merv !!!! Ummmm!!! <'TK><

Then get up on Saturday morning and go fish for the species of your choosing, in your desired location, using the presentations you deem fit for the occasion.

May the fish gods smile on you, let you catch the species of your choosing, to be released into the grease or water, whatever.

And last, and most important, remember. It's trying to catch fish, not life and death.

Such a scholar (On occasions) :rolleyes: <'TK>< :)

Uummm Bill !!! LOL !! <'TK><

Looks like there are some folks who can't mind their own business as well. If you step in the middle of a bar room fight to break it up, you do so with the full understanding that you are subject to catch a punch also.

When these little flare-ups happen, everyone should mind their own business and the two involved need to take it to private message. If i owned a guide service, the last thing i would do is get caught in a pissing match with someone over the internet, then follow that up with a link to my site. To each their own.

i am thinking that tk has a direct line to the white house, with barrack and tk being so tight and all. Maybe tk will put in a call and arrange a beer summit to settle this matter.

Yea ... Oh Barrack and I are tight ... First off Pookie is in Jest, and we all know about the Beer meeting that was supposed to settle everything ... Now if it was scotch I might reconsider ...

... As most of you know I am a Viet Nam Veteran during the Thet offensive 1968 ... I love my Country and more so my Flag ... If anyone tries to burn it in my presents .. someone is going to jail or will die to prevent it ... Most likely Me ...

I respect the office of the President of the United States... But if the President That holds this office today Phoned and said I was going to receive the Congressional Medal of Honor and wanted me to come to Washington so He could present it to me... .. I would say ... "Sir Respectfully I appreciate it ... But just mail it to Me "... And you can take this statement to my final words over my cremation ... And as Forrest Gump said ... "That's all I am going to say about that" ... <'TK>< :)

As a warning to the participants of the current pee-pee measuring contest that keeps popping up over and over from one thread to another endlessly: if this doesn't stop soon, I might just sit down at my computer tonight with a glass of wine and do a little "creative editing" on your posts like that to shut it down. :)

bd

bd, I think you are late to the party. Do you really believe these hostilities are from milk drinkers. ;)

Sorry, this thread is not closed <'TK><

bd,

I volunteer to have my posts creatively edited, I'm all for humor at my expense :D

Thread not closed .... <'TK><
