Cans are under pressure Pete he drilled it and a pressurized stream of spam shot 10' across the room. Said it stunk worse than vomit

Wow, I've actually "experimented" with spam too and had a similar experience. My thoughts on the shows...... Attendance will still be high, especially at the RISAA, buying may not be as great as before, but fishermen are fishermen. I could be broke as a joke, and I am actually so this might not be a great example, but I still find it necessary to buy fishing stuff. For most of us, fishing is more than a hobby, its a passion. This isn't refurbishing your bathroom or going to a bathroom appliance show to get a deal on a toilet seat, its fishing, and fishermen will always spend money on their passion. Some expensive plugs like RM Smiths may not receive the attention they deserve, but in the long run I don't think this specific industry will be hurt. I may be a dumb college kid but I know what is going on in the economy and I know the trends. The only thing I'm worried about is that as the season winds down, more and more of us will become worried about the state of economy as our fishing slows down and we can't hit our "escape rock" as often. Although many of the members here are against the bail-outs, we need to accept them and hope that funds are allocated appropriately. Honestly, I'm more concerned about college loans that the bail-out of GM, oh yeah and I drive a Ford.

I'm sure thatins the marketins will corrrect itself over time.It is somewhat wobbleheaded and unstable now because investors aren't sure what Obamalikestins will do with the capital gains tax.By the time the shows come around,whatever the situation is,fishermen will have been inside all winter and ready to look atins ,touch,and buy fishing related productsliketins.Sure maybe not as much, but we are gonna still go fishin and that means looking at fishin stuff.
