    Superman's hometown is a few miles south of where I hunt -- Metropolis (IL) They have a 30-foot tall statue of him on the town square...

    Popeye was born in the town I go through on the way to some property I hunt up north every once in a while (Actually his creator's hometown: Chester, IL)
    They have a big bronze statue of him as I come over the bridge...

    :D

    There's a small town in SE Virginia called Creston.

    When you drive into town, the sign reads "Welcome to Creston, Virginia....the center of the Universe".

    Not everyone knows that.

    Unless you're a trapper.... ;)


    I spent time one summer in Intercourse.... which was right next to Paradise. Of course, if you didn't quite make it there, you'd end up at Blue Ball which could have been avoided if you'd just stayed at Bird in Hand.

    All in Lancaster County, PA. :)

    Simply amazing, I didn't know any of that!

    Blue Balls does not sound like a place one wants to be. However, If one becomes stuck there and needs a remedy, a quick phone call to Beaver Liquors, in Vail Colorado, could order up a new gleeful spirit.

    Upon seeing Tom Selleck when we were living in Hawaii, my mother almost ripped off all her clothes and ran across the street to meet him. True Story. Bet you didn't know that.

    Antlers are one of the fastest growing things in nature.
    Whitetails will eat crayfish.
    Women given the same training as men are better archery and rifle shots.
    The propper way to read a map is right and then up.
    Uncle Sam can make your GPS useless with the touch of a button.
    Every outdoorsman should be able to plot UTM grid coordinates.
    If a Grizzly attacks you play dead, if a Black bear attacks you fight for your life!
    Elk chew on bones.
    Black bears don't truely hibernate.
    More people attacked by bears died defending themselves with a hand gun then those using bear spray.
    The most effective camouflage distorts the human shape.

    Two Top Fuel Dragsters have more horsepower than the first 8 rows of the Daytona 500.

    If you drive just the right speed down an interstate (about 70mph) with 4 buddies in a Jeep with no top, and the passenger "hocks a lugie" out his side, wind currents can cause this lugie to go down passenger side of Jeep, wrap around the rear seats, reverse direction back the way it came directly between the two rear passenger's heads and make a direct hit on the rear view mirror:)
    ...and if it's a good nasaly one - it will dangle from the rearview for up to two minutes while all 4 passengers laugh and gag at the same time.
    True Story:)

    99% of all lawyers give the rest a bad name.

    Assassins do it from behind.

    I'm writing a book, and I have all the page numbers done.

    My neighbor is an agnostic, dyslexic, insomniac,...............he lays awake all night wondering if there really is a Dog.

    I am leaving today for Mississippi. (dont tell the turkeys)

    This thread has me as confused as a baby in a topless bar.

    That all snook are born males and then some of them transition into females when they get to be about 5-7 lbs. A snook is a fish by the way that I love to catch!
