Why John, I had no Idea... - Page 2 - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

SF, I can do both cooking and laundry (gourmet meals, but I don't fold), however, I am probably not the running because my wife had me neutered a few years back.

Sweetieface · 04-09-2003, 01:06 PM

Well,
Since it started as a game to see who could describe themselves as well as John,
and it turned into a contest to see who is the....I guess the: all-over most well-rounded striped-bass.com man.....
I guess it shouldn't matter if you're married. Its not a dating thing, and the prize you win isn't a date....

...what IS the prize you win?

Ya got me on that one.....

So we've got some cookers, some cleaners, and some laundry doers....but some non-folders.

Who likes to decorate?? Any takers? Or does your living room consist of just a deer head and a couch? (and those of you married guys, what WOULD your living room consist of if not for lace doilies and elephant figurines...LOL!)

Not a very good decorater, But I paint real well!! My wife has had repaint the main rooms 3 times in the last 10 years. The Kids room twice. My daughter out grew Po Bear.
The thing I don't get is this Drape thing!! Man I will tell you they got to be changed in the spring, winter, hoildays, O yea god forbid if they are 1/16th of a inch off one side

I would be happy with nothing on the windows

But the wife said everyone would be looking in. I said what they going to see

Just hang a sheet up there.

Im too short to reach the stove , the windows or the laundry machines . although Im tall enough to get stuck in the dryer . I once tried for a job as a McDonalds counter person but they said I was too short and the customers wouldnt beable to see me to give their orders , so they let me sweep the floor but the handle was too long so they cut it down but the broom was to large to push so now Im a bowling ball ( midget bowling ) maybe youve heard of it before . Im a good dancer we would make a good couple you 6'4 me 4'3 .

C'mon Sweetieface real men belong in the garage and eat takeout, and don't usually live in Rhody - but I don't need any prizes, I never win anyway.

Here's what I mean:
Before:

After:

Now what would it take to put you in this fine 90 Jetta young lady, it's only got about 130,000 old lady church- going miles on it.

Got Stripers · 04-09-2003, 03:41 PM

Buy a bag of my baits SF, each one is packed with pride, in fact it's part of my special sauce

.

A rod rack or two would be central in any of my decoration plans. The bathroom must have large capacity mag. holders, since On The Water is like too big for most. Garage, oh if only I could get myself out of the basement, for I'm not a mushroom and don't like the dark.

SALTSHAKER · 04-09-2003, 03:43 PM

OK who making fun of the way I decorate. I got some room on another wall.

Surfpirate · 04-10-2003, 12:51 AM

MountainBreeze · 04-10-2003, 06:53 AM

Fat??? Yeah, that's me!

I'm a 35 yr old, "back-in-da'-day" wishin', fat Bstd' that just wants to get out and FISH!

Oh, I'd add lazy but, like my hearing, it's selective!

Got Stripers · 04-10-2003, 07:26 AM

If I'm not in my boat or in the cellar pouring, the only room I care about is my office. A quick look around shows I'm stuck in a rut for decorating, maybe I'll have to pick up hunting again, to add some contrast

.

What's not in my boat for rods is crammed in two rod racks in a corner and what man cave is complete without a dart board

.

Then above the book case is an old lady that wanted to play off Pegoty Beach in Scituate one fine day.

Below and beside is a little frig for hm soda.

JohnR · 04-10-2003, 07:36 AM

GS - I think your dart board is hung wrong - cork should be 5 feet, 8 inches from the floor. Hollywood always screws it up...

Maybe Coddingtons would sponsor a S-B dart team, winter only of course

Ed B · 04-10-2003, 07:55 AM

MikeCC that's a beautiful trout on the wall. How big? Did you get it locally ?

Got stripers nice fishes how big?

ED

Sweetieface · 04-10-2003, 09:37 AM

Mikecc,

I am loving the picture of your place!!! The one-lace curtain thing slays me!! The deer is great, the fish - perfect, but once I saw the dead carcasses all over your couch, I started cracking up!!!!

Billybob, I might have to be completely unconsious to be found in your jetta! lol!!!

See? You guys can decorate. Dartboards, dead animals sprawled on couches, it all looks great! When I said decorate, I wasnt expecting Martha Stewart linens and daisy chains strung up everywhere. You all do very well. I am impressed.

What a great way to get to know the gang. Now, when I meet you all at a show, can I come up to you and rattle off some of your stats? Like: Hey, you're '40, balding, losing teeth, does his own laundry??' You must be So and So.???!!!

Billybob · 04-10-2003, 10:45 AM

O.K. Sweetieface the gig is up.It's not my Jetta, I did it for my son and for him, it's the bomb.I drive a pickup, I'll be 44 next week,I do decorate (well I pick the colors when I remodel),and I sometimes cook (I even make stuffed cabbage, cause the wife won't), never laundry though - the only one getting excited over me these days is my golden retreiver - and I'm kinda liking it that way.
And I DO like Rhody people, I even spend my vacation there - hell I got Rhody envy - it's one BIG BEACH, and they got BLOCK- we got Fishers, but it's not even ours, it's New York's!
So put a fork in me I'm done, I withdraw from this contest - wait a minute what was the prize anyway?
