I am pretty sure he is a better man than I.

Someone would have to fish with him....to do the reeling. :shocked:

Then again, he can bring his own crab bait!! :shocked:

Oh I have myself in stiches here! :shocked:

Thank you, thank you! I'll be here all week!

24 on/ 48 off · 05-02-2003, 08:37 AM

gbs - I knew somebody was going to say that. Better watch out: He may be short handed but well armed! :shocked:

Point-of-Sale Clerk · 05-02-2003, 09:20 AM

I have met him and found his personality quite disarming�

greenbuttskunk · 05-02-2003, 09:31 AM

He'll likely go on a crime spree, hard for the law to give him a slap on the wrist!
He's also going to open a gun shop. He'll have a sale sign that reads: "SALE Arms half off"

Birdnest,,, any word on the new boat yet? When do you think it will be ready?Or are you trying to keeping it at arms length ,so as not get too excited. id. p.

I heard his wife had to cut her leg off. She has since changed her name to Eileen. :shocked:

But seriously though...good thing he didnt lose all of his limbs and collapse at the doorstep of the ranger-station, or they would be wondering if his name was Matt. If it wasn't, they could just nail him to the wall and call him Art. Can you imagine though if he rolled into a pond like that? They'd have to call him Bob.

I got edited... I guess we can have some humor at the expense of some groups of people but not others?!? Ironically, another mod had no problem with the jokes.

:grin:

Yuck yuck!

Bait O' Eggs · 05-02-2003, 12:37 PM

Musta been his LEFT arm, since he left it behind

Remind me to sharpen my knife tonight :shocked:

greenbuttskunk · 05-02-2003, 02:32 PM

Boy, we should all take this routine on the road, we'd SLAY EM' Especially since most of us can't slay the nookies!

OneLastCast · 05-02-2003, 03:06 PM

You would be a little leary in telling him to fish or cut bait.

I wonder what kind of roll he got.

and once again I wonder why posts get deleted............

Redbull · 05-03-2003, 05:44 AM

Oh, common Sinker, dis-arm your curmudgeony stance and have a little fun with it.

Heck, even one of the mods couldn't pass it up.

Leave it to you guys post some off handed remarks.

If I were this guy, I would pull my own arm off and beat you with it.

Although, I've gotta hand it to him, what a survival story. Hands down, beats anything I could ever do. A big thumb up buddy.

You guys are tastless, now I am too.

...and now, a big round of applause...oh...sorry...I forgot.....

The Fishing Geek · 05-05-2003, 09:15 AM

Found his arm.

Hoosier Daddy · 05-05-2003, 09:32 AM

There's an image I didn't need...... :depressed:

I assume he was in a rocky area or something. At some point I would think you could dig out or something. There was a guy that had a log fall on him that had to do this to his foot a few years back. I think I'd have carved on the log as long as I could first.....

Cool Texan · 05-05-2003, 09:49 AM

It took 13 people to move the boulder that pinned his arm down. I dont think digging was an option.

Birdnest · 05-05-2003, 05:46 PM

Why would they go back for the arm? Why would you risk injury to others to recover completely useless (decomposing tissue)? What were they looking for, a hand out?

Miss B Haven · 05-05-2003, 05:57 PM

Birdnest- It was either that or give the guy a ticket for littering! You can't just go and leave your body parts laying around in parks you know.

Pack it in and pack it out.

The Fishing Geek · 05-05-2003, 06:14 PM

Birdnest:

Dunno. I don't want to go out on a limb on that one.

Silver Hilton · 05-05-2003, 08:48 PM

Ya know, I was beginning to think that the site was getting to be a little too white bread, if you know what I mean. Thank you guys, for reassuring me that that is not the case. :smile:
