Hmm, so you're the lawnmower? 
There is a guy in Ely that has a yard full of old lawnmowers. 
Back in their day, they could cut about everything they encountered. 
Now that they're being rebuilt, because they are old (like yourself), just can't "cut it" anymore!! 
Until you can back up the big talk, The Eve of Destruction Rules, Babee!!! 

[The General]

Well Borgie it looks like DDS aka



must have put a few dents in his noggin as well as his boat because he can't seem to read a ruler any more on my 20.25 inch bass.

[Lee Borgersen]

Looks like 20 & a Q to me except who am I but a mere mortal. I've got some fish photos that fall under the same category where the bottom of the tail extends out further than the top.

This may fall under this years new rule being all big fish are judged with a second judges opinion.

Don't give up hope!

[DDSBYDAY]

  It does and it was scored by two judges.  Plus I took the picture and watched it being measured.  At no time did it go anymore than 20".   If the pic was taken directly above the lower tail could have been used.  Because of the angle the pic was taken the lower tail was closer to the camera giving the illusion that it was longer.  Good try though.  If I had not witnessed the scoring I may have given it a 19.75" score.   

[Lee Borgersen]

Everyone knows that due to an old football injury DDS can't stand up straight therefore his photos are all taken on a slight angle.

No .......

[The General]

No .......

You must be right Lee.  The top fin on the ruler itself is at 20 1/8th when you zoom in on it, camera angle my    Captain Schettino must still be affected from the crash.   

[The General]

Just because DDS is my friend and I enjoy busting his balls........   I know I'm going to owe a round at the local watering hole the next time I see you.   

I guess one has to be a Judge to get a score from a fin that is off the board. 

[DDSBYDAY]

  That's and easy 30 inches.  It's in the wrong thread though Sergio.

[greatoutdoors]

Yup General, heard about it today!! 
The rumors flying around Ely are a guy with the nickname of DDS got his boat stuck on some rocks, shore, or whatever!! 
Possible pictures to follow. 
I have to give him credit, at least he remembered to put the plug in, giving himself a chance to run it aground! 

[Boar]

Looks like the perfect golf photo

[greatoutdoors]

I know this isn't the place to behave, but nice fish, Borgie!!!! 

[DDSBYDAY]

   It appears that the Grave Diggers are in a good position to dig.  Borgie has sent them to the very bottom where most teams would only have one way to go.  Up.  Unfortunately with their lack of skills and ability to dig the Grave Diggers are predicted to finish lower than last place.   

[The General]

Hopefully everyone can see with Borgie posting her bass, which see had already told me about prior to my fishing trip, I honestly didn't really give a hoot about how my bass was scored (as it was a moot point) but I couldn't pass up a chance to harass Captain Schettino and his Judging skills or lack their of.   

Borgie nice job in asking that the judges score the longest part of the fish.   

[The General]

TGO when this contest is all over you had better thank old Captain Schettino for pulling something only a union member would do and sabotage my phone and destroy the pictures of my Northern.

[DDSBYDAY]

   Tip #1 for a decent picture.


Remove the lens cap!!!

FYI phones do not have lens caps.........You old Dinosaur.   

[DDSBYDAY]

  I use a phone to call your wife.  I use a camera to take her picture.  You should try that method.  It works every time.   

[The General]

She thought she had a stalker.......Guess I need to get those blinds put up fast.

I taught my teammate's well!

Well General,
Maybe you could just put a quarter on an empty measuring board and take a photo, in memory of the "Phantom Fish!" 
But, have someone else take the photo this time, or the measuring board and quarter may not show up!! 
Eve of Destruction Rules, Babee!!! 

[The General]

TGO I'm guessing that is your way of saying "Thank You".   

[DDSBYDAY]

   You bet it is.  One more Borgie Beatdown for TGO could have pushed him over the edge.  Oh well when we saw the teams the Union Thugs knew Borgie would have to get it done on her own.  Now that the beat down is unlikely to happen the Union Thugs will be turning up the heat and dishing out some good ol' union beat downs.  Thegreatoutdoors might as well grab his ankles and kiss his chance at first place goodbye.   

[Lee Borgersen]

                               Borgie receives a special gift.

Yesterday Borgie and I were watching TV when the doorbell rang. I went to answer the door and there stands the Fed X guy. I turned around and yelled to Borgie "are you expecting a package". Borgie says no! I said I'll sign for it. The Fed X guy said sorry but it's addressed to a Kathy Borgersen ONLY and she'll have to sign for it.

Ok, I'll get her. "It's for you honey so you got ta sign for it." She comes to the door with a surprised look on her face and signs. As she sits down on the couch she noticed it was sent to her by me. What's this for she asks?

I just wanted to do something nice for you I said. I knew she liked to add special charms to her bracelet to commemorate special events in her life. As she opened the package she saw a small jewelry box. I quickly received a kiss on the cheek before she even opened the box.

 She viewed the charm with a confused look on her face. What is this she asked? I said it's a charm with the missing photo of The General's 42" Northern. With that said I made a quick dash for the front door laughing all the way out the door.


Congratulations Borgie And Da Boys!

You've just been smacked and smacked hard. 

PS.  If you look real hard at the charm you can almost see the missing photo

TIP: Please click on the photo for the best view

[greatoutdoors]

Yeah, the slugs really make us shake with fear with their fishing prowess!! 
Oh by the way, how are things down there in Second from Last place City??? 

[The General]

No worries Lee.  Tell her to send me that Charm and I'll put a picture of me in it.  That way she'll have at least one Handsome looking Stud around the house.   


Unless TGO and his fellas upgrade something Borgie and I will know that we were the real champs of this year and I'm guessing her an I can live with that.  That is of course unless some other team can top what we should have had. 

[The General]

   You bet it is.  One more Borgie Beatdown for TGO could have pushed him over the edge.  Oh well when we saw the teams the Union Thugs knew Borgie would have to get it done on her own.  Now that the beat down is unlikely to happen the Union Thugs will be turning up the heat and dishing out some good ol' union beat downs.  Thegreatoutdoors might as well grab his ankles and kiss his chance at first place goodbye.   

So anyone want to start some odds on which one of DDS's teammates is strong enough to carry him on their back?  I'm guessing Vegas would give "Neither" as a very poor payout.  One would probably have to bet a couple grand just to win $1.  We all know DDS isn't bringing home the bacon.  Now if the challenge included leaving the plug out, riding the rocks, running into docks, forgetting to set your drag, or having bobbers that sink........DDS is the Ultimate Champion

[DDSBYDAY]

   Bwhaaaaaaahaha

   I heard a rumor that Union Thugs were seen painting pebbles orange and slipping them into bags of Cheetos.  It was just that.  A rumor.
