Sheesh, I'm gonna be in the grins all day thanks to this!




BTW, hows the sunburn?

Well, to be honest, I just did a google search for "severe sunburn swelling" if that tells you anything.

Pffffffttttt! Not any more!

Jake says "You little copier" harsh words from a 7 yr old. Dude!

First he says photoshop mine mom...and I told him I dont know how to.


But he still has you beat on picking up chicks,(no offense Ronnie) this is him at last weekends graduation party:

first he talks all the hot little graduates into playing volleyball with just him:



then the group picture...the little dark faired one to his right had him all night!



PimpmastahJake!

Odd fact:

What American's call walleye, we call "pickeral" in Canada.

Same fish though.

Is it just me, or do these hands seem strange for a thirty something guy?

the sun makes me wrinkly


Those are the hands of my mother-in-law who wanted to save the lure for me. Depression era kids, they save everything!

Scorp
pickeral?

Those crazy Canuckistanis!

Here's some goofball with a walleye that he caught:



ummmm......which one's which ?

ehhhhhhhhhhh! wrong, related, but pickeral have two extra pectoral fins....yummy tho!

Pickerel


Walleye

That was good.

Good Times! ... thanks for sharing , TJ (and Ronnie )

Didn't realize they were different.

I just know that we NEVER say "walleye." Only "pickeral."

Jake keeps buggin me about the photoshop heh

He don't need no photo enhancin'... his real fish is REALLY BIG

I told him tj was trying to make it small and wiggly! I bet Panda could put Jakes fish instead of him in with all those girlies! Panda is photoshop goddddddddd

Dont worry man, this is a common problem with "common" names. In many places in the south, they call a magnolia tree a tulip tree. The problem with this, is there is an ACTUAL tulip tree that is NOT a magnolia. So, this is a common issue and shows how/why scientific names are the best!

Tis true.

Up where I grew up my friend and I used to go hunting quail. But everybody calls them partridge. Fact is, there are no partridge up where I lived, but everybody still called them partridge.

Viva scientific nomenclature.
