We crosslink stuff with YORF all the time! Ever since Springfield, MO got that Bass Pro Shops we just can't get you Missourians to pay attention to anything anymore! :D
 
Plumbing, electricty, you guys are sooooo funny. Not!

Missourian? Try again, more like a Alaskan employed in Missouri.

Bass Pro Shops. Bass Pro Shops? Where the employees are hunting and fishing pros - in their own minds? Try: Mt. View Sportshttps://www.mtviewsports.com/.

If you can't fish for five different types of salmon, a trout weighing no less than 5lbs and longer than 30", a moose, a brown bear, a black bear, Dall sheep, and a caribou all in one year - and have three feezers - the rest is child's play. ;)

Let's see...

You have heard about the lunar outpost that's been up there since 1999, right?

Oh, and that monolith they found near Clavius Base?

LOL! I knew you were Alaskan....but I can read your location under the avatar. :D

Yep, Bass Pro....I went to that place back around 1992 and found mayhem at the main store and the outlet across the road. People were buying stuff left and right, and some of it was marked considerably higher than their catalog prices! :eek:

Have you explored the local wineries in the Washington / Augusta area? If not, you are *definitely* "missing out." :D

I'm curious

22-.250, 5.56mm, or 30-06 for the trout?

or

What reel and leader do you use to reel in a moose? Do you use a gaff or a net when you hook a caribou?

Those trout are vicious. Nothing less than a .50 BMG will do. :D

Heh, not much trout left to eat after getting hit with one of these high velocity bullets. I used to shoot ground squirrels with my cousins in OR with a .22-250. They'd pretty much vaporize when hit. :eek:

Well, except that the Missouri is south of you, isn't it?

I'm a St. Charles native, living in Houston, TX, since 1992.

It's both east and south. If I head out on 70 it's directly east. If I go out on 40, it's directly south. If I use 94 to the bypass, then it's southeast. If I use the Katy Trail it's northeast - east - southeast - south - southwest - west . . . well, you get the picture.:D

Oh, dude? Just so you don't hear about it on the street or nothin' - the Doobie Brothers broke up...

You're kidding me?! Actually according to their web site - they're still on tour.

Well, true... I *did* cross the Missouri when I drove to work at McDonnell Douglas Astronautics via Highway 70, now didn't I?

I prefer a 12 ga, but if I'm in a hurry, a half stick of dynamite will do!:D

I'd better stop reading before I need therapy. This is bringing back a bad childhood memory involving a teenage male cousin, a firecracker and a carp.

I thought boys outgrew this behavior.

Having the "knowledge" does not mean one practice it :)

Never. As long as the testosterone flows, there will be idiotic, moronic, sophomoric behavior.

By the way....

Did the above statement give anyone ELSE a new idea for a scratch build rocket? If you point the carp UP, it's relatively aerodynamic....
