Red sock on right when returning?

I'm tired of all socks. I'm going barefoot until I find a pair I like. Cecil, I love your work! Hey, what's the smallest fish you've ever skin mounted?

Thanks for the kind words Brettski. It was fun talking politics with you too!
Sure hate I missed that one.

burger, you'll see a single smiley face on the top of the post window when you use the Full Reply Screen. It's on the same toolbar that has the icons for link, image, bold, quote, etc. If you click that single smiley you'll see a drop down box with several choices. Put the cursor where you want the smiley and click the one you want.

This is just such a fantastic thread about the fish taxidermy process that I thought it should be brought forward for those, like me, who somehow either missed it, or forgot about it while it was on-going last summer. I remember the lead-up to the final product, and seeing it at the convention, but . . . my brain must be failing me.

Ken, Talk about brain failing. You had me confused. I couldn't figure out how this got on the regular forum. I thought maybe I accidentally did it when I posted the link in another thread. BTW I've been inhaling paint fumes for 26 years. You're fine compared to me. Trust me. The other day I went in to get a pair of pliers to fix something outside. I still haven't figured out how the TV remote ended up in my hands vs. the pliers. Bad, bad sign!
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

I still haven't figured out how the TV remote ended up in my hands vs. the pliers. Bad, bad sign! Our pastor, who is my age, starts many of his sermons with a short or silly story. A few years ago he very seriously told us about his ever increasing experiences with the "here after." He said its gotten to where almost every time he goes into a room he has to ask himself: "What am I here after?"

It's really bad when you drive into town and for a split second you forget what you drove there for! The truth be known I think we have all been to the here after. It's a matter of something either distracts you are you get to thinking of something else. They told us in Nursing school that when people get older they attribute it to old age, when in fact people of all ages do this.

Ken - Thanks for resurrecting this thread. It is excellent and informative. I missed it the first time and don’t know how. Maybe the Pond Barge interfered. Cecil - You certainly are a talented man! Forgetting why a person went to town is normal, isn’t it?

Cecil, forget to remember the here after story. You should be extremely happy that you don't look like a hung over Canuck anymore. I laugh every time I see a pic of you cause it reminds me of when you posted that. Someone PLEASE dig up that pic and re-post it. In fact it should be in the archives. I remember an anti drug psa from the sixties that had a nice lookin college kid holding up an awful, scraggly scetch, saying this is my self portrait on acid. Paint fumes/flashback? Hell, I think your looks are regressing rather than your paint fumes tainted thinker.
Do nature a favor, spay/neuter your pets and any weird friends or relatives.

Hell, I think your looks are regressing rather than your paint fumes tainted thinker. Yep I've have days where I looked like a druggie especially when I had a deadline and I stayed up painting fish for days on end in the wee hours of the night. Can't do it anymore. Getting too old. I used to promise people fish by Christmas that brought the fish in at the last minute or called me a few days before Christmas. No more. I look at them and want to say, "Do I look like a ** Santa Claus? Oh here's the picture you want Bob. This was no hang over (I rarely drink). And I had not stayed up late that night. I suffer from allergies from such things as common house dust to a minor allergy to the dog that sleeps in the bed to you name it. I've been tested and the list is a mile long. I had also just got out of bed here and found this fish floating when the dog pestered me to go outside. I do remember the wife saying, "Shouldn't you at least comb your hair?"

Cecil, thanks for the re-laugh, that is a great pic simply because of the fish, no one was lookin at you till you mentioned it. As far as the wife's comment, most women are that way. I caught a monster Pike once and had my pic taken fish mouth wide open right up close (ala Dr Frankenbruce), you could have easily fit your fist into its mouth. When I proudly showed my sister in law the pic, she said very indignantly "Bob, your hats on backwards"

Never knew this thread existed till Cecil linked back to it. Fascinating.
"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"
If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1) And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1) Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT? PB answer: It depends.
