I realize I am just a lowly Challenge facilitator, but... shouldn't this be in the Challenge forum? Hmmm? And by the way we still need to figure out what to do with that amazing stuffed rock bass I purchased last spring.

You bring up a very valid point there Buckaroo. Could someone with the ware- with- all move this please?

Not to be :offtopic:  but how much for the dollies?

I think it needs a good home like with someone with a nice trophy room. Then again it would also look nice hanging in a bait & tackle shop some place in Ely for example. A dentist office would be a novel Idea. It could be mounted on the ceiling directly above the patients recliner to take his mind off the pain.

It could also be rotated every 90 days. This way none of the candidates would feel left out. "Everyone gets their fair share" that way.

Just sayin ;)

  I think it should be treated as a piece of history.  Fawk should sign it and pass it on to whomever he wants.  The next guy keeps it for 2 months then awards it to whomever he sees deserving.  Each winner must sign it before he chooses the next winner. :doah:  The winner must say the reasons he is sending it off to the next.   For example-   Fawk-  " I hear-by relinquish the most sought after trophy MNO has to offer to the General.  Here at MNO we want everbody to feel like a winner.  We all want to recognize that some  ;) ;)  just might need a little more help than others.  It was a toss up between The General and Corny13.  The fact that Corny13 actually wants the thing left him out or the running this time." :rotflmao: :rotflmao:   Who knows,  100,000,000 years from now it could turn up under a melting glacier(from the impending global, cyclical, cooling and warming of the earth. SUV's or not).  It could be an artifact perplexing future historians as to who were the signers.   :king:  An old MNO column was discovered recently..My hieroglyphic translation come out to be something like-Obama care bad.  Guns good.  APR good and bad.  We should not let our ancient MNO ancestors legacy stop in this generation.   :toast:

Great idea, DDSBYDAY.  Sort of like the sister hood of the traveling pants.  Only this would be a traveling trophy to held and cherished by the recent.  When every someone is deemed to have done something worthy of the trophy, it can be awarded and sent.  Perhaps a log book would go with it to record it's adventures.

  Don't worry Corny,  that was just a hypothetical scenario.  You are still in the running as the first recipient of the esteemed rock bass trophy. ;D

So how do we do this? Vote? Nominate someone?
Maybe nominate a couple worthy recipients and then vote.

   Just have the person who has it in his possession assign it for whatever reason you choose.  I think each holder of the valued trophy should have to sign it before passing it on.

So I think you're saying that since I have it in my possession - it starts with me and I can assign it to anyone I like.

   Kind of makes you feel all powerful and all knowing doesn't it?   :king:


                    Just don't forget to put your ever so sought after autograph  on it.   ;D

I can't even begin to describe the powerful feeling that is coursing through my loins right now. It's like nothing I have ever felt before. Arnold Swarzenegger, Lance Armstrong, Adrian Peterson, I'm guessing these men may have experienced something, some tingling similar to what I'm feeling.

I want you to know this, I also feel a great responsibility and I pledge to you that I will take this endeavor seriously and carefully select the first "Rock Bass Trophy" recipient.

My pledge to the MNO family and all it stands for.

Good idea DDS, except for the fact I've actually won the Eastwood vs Wayne challenge and I kicked Bobby's  :moon: in our head to head challenge, I won out on Minnewaska ice fishing that year but chose to not enter the bass I caught so the youngster in the group could win the cash.  Not only that I did all those things on my own I didn't have Wildlife win something for me.  However you were a good mascot for Team Avengers.   :happy1:

Yeah you 2 girly men "CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH" just like good old Jack would say.

P.S. Wildlife did win the fastest man on the ice award that day though when he would keep running for the hills when my tip-up siren would go off.  I'll give him that.

Can't you read Wildlife?  I also have the MOST important challenge the Eastwood vs Wayne win.  This was far more important to me then any other challenge.  However I do feel bad for the guy representing Wayne.  With the skills or lack there of he should have been representing Festus not the second toughest cowboy.   ;D

Well either DDS or Wild are going to be losers in this years challenge but I guess no matter what the final score is they will say they won. 

I wore my cowboy hat to the challenge, Fawk and I fished in my house, I had my limit of Crappies in a half hour and was out on the ice having a brew with the rest of the gents.  You on the other hand were hovered over you hole trying to catch fish.  I'd call that a win for Eastwood in my book.  It's ok though little Festus you did get to learn how the master gets it done.  Hope you took good notes. :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
