Thanks! Awesome time :btu:

John,

Glad you could make it this year. It was great to get a chance to talk fishing and family with you. Very nice jesture at the end of the swap(Gilly owes you a dozen eels)

It was a very nice afternoon, a ton of good food and nice to see some folks in the daylight. Would have been better if the Pats had won.

Great time...many thanks to Rick and I nominate BS4Shore's chili for hall of fame consideration :uhuh:

Not sure if the statutes allow more than 1 item per participant for nomination, and I already submitted paperwork for his Whoopie Pies.:drool:( I did some extensive "filed testing" on them)

Rick - thanks again. Yes, we will fish this coming year.

And thumbs up to Luke for running the drawing :devil2:

Rumor has it that Luke picked your card after being tipped off to the box of Lego's in the back room. An investigation is underway.

Wait a minute here, I picked up the 10 of clubs from the floor and inquired as to who the owner was...that should have at least entitled me to the GRS plug...:laugha:

Likely story, likely story...

thanks Rick Hern ... I saw Ditch Trolls , old Lepers ,, Gibby's,, Rock Swimmers ,Surfcasters and Boss ...great seeing all ..

*note to self ... Penis plugs are not thoughtful gifts and can cause awkward moments ..


P.S. sorry for almost starting a fire .

Great time again. Thanks, Rick.

thanks rick. good food and company, nice to see everyone.

Thanks Rick, had a great time. It was nice to see all of you guys and meet quite a few of youse guys that I had been looking forward to meeting.

Thanks for the kudos on the chilli and the whoopie pies, glad Mary and I could help out. There was a ton of good food, I thought the seafood rice was spectacular.



freakin' hilarious. :rotf2:

can't believe I held onto that Stan Gibbs casting swimmer in the box through the grab, that goes to show you what nice gift's were brought this year...very nice.

Thanks again and Happy Holidays

thanks Rick, was a great time for me, enjoyed meeting and talking to alot of great people and scored a really sweet plug(SKS)

Dammm,,, wish I introduced myself to strangers ... really would have liked to talk to Freebie from Hull .. i put 14 billion hours in there... didn't meet Niko ... sux being shy ..

Freebie I could understand - he was in the next room. You spent half the night looking at Niko :smash:

what ? staring ? like a creep ?

tagger - we'll talk about hull at tctfn. i lived there close to 40 years. i can direct you to a skunking all over town

A special thanks to Sheila, "Mrs Renegade" for her help in cooking and cleaning.

Thanks to all, it was a fantastic time and hoping to become a holiday tradition. My only complaint is you guys left too much food for me to eat!!

I took a direct shot of Redlite but he didn't show up in the pic???? Might have been that deal he made with the devil 2 years ago. :devil2:

RICK: YOU MITE HAVE TO RENT A SM.HALL NEXT YEAR ,THATS A CROWED LIVING ROOM...Jim

In a creepy lovingly sort of way :tooth: - even in the picture Rick took you're looking right at him. :love:

:want:

Great time as always Rick. Afterparty was a giant step up from last year!

if any if you guys would like to get some of those whoopie pies for the holidays let me know, I'm sure we can work something out...

Can't believe I missed those. I saw Rick hiding something and didn't think to ask what it was...

Nothing to see here.....move along:)

I think you were staring at me creepy too ... Hey Bob.. Woopie Pies were delicous ... had 3 of them .. :drool:

:rotf2:

quit staring at me. you're freaking me out

I got into serious hotwater over those when I got home. I said something along the lines of, "jeez, I had the best whoopie pies at Rick's tonight." Dead silence from the bride and I'm:hidin:. She fancies herself a pretty good baker so when I say something is better than hers I got some 'splaining to do!

Thanks for another great get together Rick, I only wish I had connected half the names with the faces there.

BS, if you want to help me out the dog house, see if you can't track down that recipe for the bride! I'll swap you for the heath bar crunch cookie recipe:drool:.
