Does checking is.com on your phone outside a nyc bar/restaurant count?
Can't get into convos inside as all that's on my mind is ice.

All us pyros love that smell. And like Krispy Kreams with beer ~it's not just for breakfast any more.

That is a combo that I haven't tried Gator, that sounds like that would Tantalize the Taste buds ! I highly recommend Baileys with your Rice Crispies for another Titillating Tasty Treat ! Homemade Everclear based Kahlua on your Coco Puffs is also a new and Exciting addition to the Breakfast Menu !!

P.S. I would advise caution when Imbibing in these Particular Breakfast choices, it is entirely possible to get up from the dining room table and procede to do an impression of a Drunken Elephant on Roller skates and Immediately fall on your Arse !!

You guys slay me with things like the "norm" and the skated pachyderm.

Now I'm off to get some Coco Puffs.

Homemade Everclear

If that involves a mash tun, a copper coil and tump keg? Then I resemble that too.

If you have your rods and reels spooled already and your ice tackle, shanty, and auger are all tuned up and ready to go, you are obsessed with ice fishing like I am!

just bought a new home this spring, with an attached garage.

first thing i did was dig out the ice fishing stuff and set up a nice little station where i have been constantly rearranging and organizing and finishing up my jig rods and tip ups and tackle ^^

wife thinks im retarded .... she dont understand lol

gillcommander · « **Reply #44 on:** Aug 25, 2011, 05:44 PM »

I feel so much better now! I haven't logged on to the Shanty since at least the middle of March! At least I made it to the 25th of August...you guys are much crazier than I am thank god!!!

We'll take that as a compliment of recognition.

Would Somebody PLEASE Define Crazy for me ??

Rebelss · « **Reply #47 on:** Aug 25, 2011, 07:44 PM »

Certainly. I will draw two parallels to illustrate the most common categorized meaning of the word "crazy" in laymens terms:

Crazy; Answers: A."Infected with madness or insane, ie; not of a sane disposition"... B. "possessed by enthusiasm or excitement"

Examples

Hitting a little white ball around the grass in 90 degree heat; attempting to put it IN a little hole, while paying forty dollars or more for the priveledge: Answer "A"

Battling subzero temps to sit in a small enclosure to pull something OUT of a little hole; Answer "B".

Obviously, answer "A" must be construed as the definition of "crazy", as everyone knows that enthusiasm and excitement are a few of the main emotions experienced by all "normal" ie; stable subjects.

Any questions?

Although I do, on occasion, partake in your first example and of couse, the second example as well. Therefore I am a bonafide friggin' lunatic...AND I DON"T CARE. So stay outta' my way or I'll club you with my 5 iron that I often use as a dead stick.

Yeah...they are called toothpicks and all the major grocery store chains carry them...Oohhhh!! You're talking about tees...sorry

Side note...Did you know that the toothpick was invented by a hillbilly? Anywhere else they would have been called teethpicks. And you would also have your teethbrush as well.

Oops...got a little off topic

And I thought I was the only one with this sickness. There is a maple tree next to the parking lot at work that I noticed today that the leaves are turning red already. My first thought was "great, maybe we will have early ice this year!" It's truly an obsession!

i turned my ice-45 on last night in the simulation mode just so i could pretend a giant gill was slamming my jig.... hardwater cant get here soon enough

The wife suprises me last night when she brings out to 6ft graphite rod and reel combo she picked up for like 70% off from our local ukranian tire and stared in disbelief as me and the kid take the reels off and pull out the hardwater gear and put the reels on a couple rods and then stuff the 6ft rods in the garage with the other junk. I told her they are now relegated to the give away for x-mas gifts pile

6. As you're reeling in a bass in August all you can think is "I bet I can get a bigger one through the ice at this same spot".

HAHA exactly!! And the always a crowd pleaser,"Nice fish, bet that thing would be a rush on the short poles!"
