At the height of the Cold War the Americans made the smallest drill bit they possibly could and sent it to the Russians as a display of their power. The Russians promptly drilled a hole through the bit and sent it back.

What other country would call their national baseball compitition the WORLD SERIES. they are the world arent they?
Just on a fact finding mission here-the weather has been crap for what? 2 weeks,I just wanna know what happens when there's been no fishing for about 4 weeks!! then what happens on the chat boards-gun play? just tryin to get edjumacated.Jace.
Crestcutter and Kingtin Good stuff!
I'm using that picture to motivate me to lose weight and get back into shape. I'm not THAT bad but a few more pieces of pie a day and
No politics, but if anyone wants to talk baseball I'm always ready to talk. LET'S GO CUBS!!! That "World Series" may be more appropriate than you think. On one hand, there are a couple of teams from outside our borders, on another, a whoooooole lot of players are from foreign lands. Japan, Korea, Venezuela, Cuba, Mexico, and on and on and on. It really is a sport where a lot of the world is represented (not nearly as much as soccer but still). Plus, it's the bestest game in the whole wide world (just my opinion). I've been playing it and following the Chicago teams since I was three years old
Most memories of playing are fond ones but there was one incident that I try to forget. I was five? and my Mom and Grandma took me to the park to play. I was pitching using a tennis ball and Granny was at the plate. I hung a breaking ball right in her wheel house and KA-BLAMO! She got all of it. The green, fuzzy tennis ball of death came rocketing right back at me. I tried to duck but, nuh-uh! Ga-HOOF! It nailed me right in the chest. Knocked me right on my back side. It also knocked the wind right out of me and I was gasping for breath and coughing and wheezing uncontrollably. The physical pain was nothing compared to what the damage this incident had done to my ego and baseball playing self-esteem. My brothers were merciless. You can imagine the sort of things I had to endure; "slow motion replay" re-enactments complete with play by play from an "announcer", endless jokes and references to "the incident", etc. Ugh, not a good memory.
I still think she should have been tested for steroids!
Now, what should I end with---a wierd pic or another recipe or something else? Well, in keeping with the baseball theme, I'll go with a pic.

Looks like your Nan pitched at him too!!!
And we don't need to tease Americans through this website.... They do it themselves through shows like Jerry Springer everyday!!!
It's the dead of winter here RS. I haven't fished in three months. You can see what that has done to me.

Jerry Springer......................you got us there. No defence against that one. The sooner he and Tom Cruise jump into a volcanoe, the better.

We have a few American fisho's on the board so i am going to steer clear of that.
El_carpo , mate that pecan pie reciepe rawkkks.
Kev if we are related does that mean i get the spare keys to the Whittley?
Rough_Shag, if the weather stays like crap for over 4 weeks we have a meet and greet at the Woodridge shopping center. Bit like the movie the wanderers.
All the fisho gangs meet as in the sunny boys, the goldys , the islanders,the reddy boys, etc ,and we discuss business.
That one's been making the rounds for a while over here too. Whether a right winger or left or a centrist, that is a funny pic.
That fish is a striper I think by the way. My uncle lives in Boston and catches them. I'm not 100 percent sure but I think they are also called rock fish? They get pretty big and are supposed to be good fighters. That species is from the ocean but they have introduced them to freshwater lakes in some areas as well. In fact, they have cross bred with a much smaller freshwater species known as the white bass (that look just like your Australian bass but are silvery and striped) and there are hybrids. My brother caught one once while going for catfish using chicken livers of all things. Pretty fish and excellent eating.
Funny pic! Now we know what was going on during the hurricane. "One more cast, just one more cast, then the levies."
I think this thread is lost in the wilderness and about to die so I'll make my exit with this picture of a smiling cat.

I can calculate lunar cycles, I can analyze chemical compositions so why can't I figure out where the other sock is after using the dryer?
