Wonder Worm

Slipknot's article about his Tiger Maple Needle and Old John's influence got me to thinking (not a good thing). WHy do they work so well? Well, my squirrel cage decided that they may resemble Sea worms. Here's my take on the beast with and extra pocket for a worm oil soaked sponge.

Nice work Fred, is the slot big enough to put a small sponge in it to hold the worm juice?

ain't no grass growing under your feet Fred

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Nice. I like when you think out of the box!









And I thought this thread was about Clammer and the blue pill.... he'd be jealous of that pic!

That's my thought exactly, Flap. I'm making a bee-line for the Sea-Bait guy at the show. With tonoght's weather report, I may have to go Sunday.

Jointed Hmmmmmmm. At every ring, hmmmmm- not. I ain't that good.
