*"It takes a big, BIG man to admit an incredibly stoopid blunder like that. LOL ( I would have fabricated a cover-up story, myself)"* *Buggs*
I am a big man... Teresa is great in the kitchen! But since I can't lie, I would have needed Jester for that. And seing Jester's reaction on this, I highly doubt he would have done his best. He would intentionally have done it transparent to have even more fun. ------------------------------------------------------------ *"I withdraw my offer of replacement flies. (They would have outfished yours so bad, you'd-a felt even worse)"* *DonO* That box has some flies you sent me with a care package. I have tried them without success. They looked good though so I replicated them... with a different result. ;o) ------------------------------------------------------------ ** *"Tell Jester not to be too rough on you, although it is incredibly funny. (Don't fret, in the long run, the medications are more fun)" * *Dr. Demento* ** Jester can't be rough on me, even though I let him believe that. I just turn my back at him and head for the TV. Subtitles, beer and some medication can make even a soap like "Desperate Housewives" (with a hacking Jester in the background) into a very enjoyable show. ** *------------------------------------------------------------ * ** *"Should I look for a less complicated vest for you? I'll take over that one, and the rod, and the flies, and..." * *Emelie* OK... THAT'S IT!! No more cheeze cubes or cupcakes for you!! ------------------------------------------------------------ ** *"Man I glad I'm not the only one who does this ha ha ha ha ha . Good news for sure." * ** *Dave* See, Buggs... I'm not the only big man on this list. ------------------------------------------------------------ ** *"I think I know someone who might need a good eye exam. :)"* *Rick* Tell him that I have some tips on good doctors. ;o) ------------------------------------------------------------ ** *"wow, what luck....at least its safe now!"* ** *Mark* Safe? This just makes it even worse. Having lost it once and found it, I can only imagine the response when I tell the group that I've lost it again! ------------------------------------------------------------ *"I have also had a similar panic attck....only to relaiese it was not lost at all. I need to attach name and contact details to all my fly boxes (just in case...)"* *Ian* ** Good idea... that I've been pushing ahead for a long time. But after this I will take the time to do it. (So when I have guests, they will know who's fly-box is lying in the kitchen.) ------------------------------------------------------------ ** *"I think, Tony calls this a senior moment. For some people this starts early. In Germany we say, that it was a good idea, that the head is consolidated at the neck, otherwise people would loose their head. <G>. Bad part for you is, that you have no reasons to tie 100 nymphs. Good part is, that you can start now your ff-trip." * *Rene* As senior as he may call it, I will still feel very junior about it. I would rather have the fly-boxes consolidated to my neck. Losing my head wouldn't be a disaster, since there isn't much of value in there anyway. I mailed club members offering reward if the fly-box was found... something I wouldn't do if it was my head that was lost. Finally, there are always reasons to tie 100 nymphs... 'back-up' would be one of them. As virtual as a fly-box can be, there are still some flies you can't burn to a CD-ROM and stuff away. ------------------------------------------------------------ ** *"ROTFLMBFAO !!! :-P" * ** *JIMMY D* ** Hmmmm... isn't this laughing dude the same man who once left his fly-rod with the fly still in the water, just to have it pulled out by a fish? ----------------------------------------------------------- /Nick
