Any fishermen/women here?
(Message 1000415)
Posted 3 Jun 2010 by ![]() Post: I did most of my fishing for trout in cold Colorado streams. I recently moved out of state and now fish in a warm water lake. This morning while fishing for smallmouth bass (yeah, I caught a few) using a 3 inch lure, I caught a bluegill on it. Now, this 'monster' was a good 4.5 inches long. Are bluegill always this aggressive, or did this guy have delusions of grandeur? Even if the lure had been a real fish, I don't see how it could have eaten it. Maybe all the fish here are aggressive. I also caught a 12 in bullhead on a spinner. Never got one before without using bait. |

Posted 3 Apr 2010 by ![]() Post: Researchers at the Texas State Zoo in Austin have found that if they feed the porpoises a diet of a particular mynah bird the porpoise’s life span is greatly increased. The other day, while bringing a cage full of the birds to feed the porpoise, the zookeeper had to cross a small bridge over their lion pit. Halfway across he was stopped by a Texas Ranger who stated he was under arrest for violation of the Mann Act. The zookeeper didn’t understand, and asked for an explanation. The Ranger said “The Mann Act… you know, ‘Transporting mynahs across state lions for immortal porpoises’â€! |

Posted 29 Mar 2010 by ![]() Post: My next door neighbout bought a dog... I had a dog that was sort of strange. You could never tell what kind of mood he would be in. On different days he would be playful or sad or brave or cowardly etc. I guess it makes sense though. You see, he was a Sybil Shepard. |

Posted 8 Apr 2009 by ![]() Post: At the state zoo in Austin, Texas, research has shown that feeding a particular species of porpoise Mynah birds greatly extended the life span of the porpoises. One day, while a zookeeper was carrying a cage full of the Mynah birds to the porpoises, he had to cross a small bridge over a pit containing the zoo's lions. When he was nearly across the bridge, he was approached by a Texas Ranger and immediately arrested! When the zookeeper asked what the charge was, the Ranger said (what else): 'Transporting Mynahs across the state lion for immortal porpoises!' |

The Neverending WU?
(Message 883294)
Posted 8 Apr 2009 by ![]() Post: WHEW! Well, my 'Neverending WU' finally ended. The method for the estimate I got earlier from Josef W.Segur turned out to be surprisingly accurate. We estimated 168 hours (WAY down from my initial est of 700 hrs) and the actual ended up to be 166 hours. Did'ja ever notice just how long 166 hours is when your waiting for something? ;-) Guess the Astropulse jobs gotta go My computer is simply too slow I'm still gonna crunch M.B.s by the bunch But opt apps I just do not know Thanks to all... |

Posted 6 Apr 2009 by ![]() Post: Maybe off-topic, but I thought I'd post this obituary... Bakersfield, CA The Pillsbury Dough Boy died yesterday of a yeast infection and complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 72. Dough Boy was buried in a lightly greased casket. Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies and Captain Crunch. The grave site was piled high with flours. A long time friend, Aunt Jemima, delivered the eulogy. She described Dough Boy as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded. Dough Boy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Despite being a little flaky at times, he still, as a crusty old man, was considered a roll model for millions. Dough Boy is survived by his wife, Play Dough, two children, John Dough and Jane Dough, with another one in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart. The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes. |

Posted 6 Apr 2009 by ![]() Post: In Denver, I break the law every week... I wouldn't have believed it, but I guess... But according to the state of Colorado, the rain that falls on Holstrom's property is not hers to keep. It should be allowed to fall to the ground and flow unimpeded into surrounding creeks and streams, the law states, to become the property of farmers, ranchers, developers and water agencies that have bought the rights to those waterways |
