Mayhaps he is unawares of what a forum be about?

Don't suppose you'd be interested in buying a new truck or car, would you? That's what I do for a living. Welcome to the forum, we look forward to your contributions to the fishing discussion forum.

What a brazen SOB!! Maybe I'm just in a ripe mood right now, but if I had caught someone doing that to you I would have beat them senseless!! What is the matter with people? Can't keep their darn hands to themselves... Any pics of the motor that you could post? Possibly dig up a photo online of a similar looking truck and post that here? You've still got the serial numbers on a title or whatever, right? Did you file a police report?

Looks quite ugly... It's perfect!!

Ah, if only one question can be answered, then I retract former question and opt for asking this one as well!! Wait, when did Drew say that?

How'd he catch that fish with a cell phone?

You would... wouldn't you, Al? lol No I didn't, Mitch!?!

Ah, that explains quite a bit!!

That makes sense, in a way.. But why would the government do that for gas companies and not for grocery stores? (I'm thinking Wal-Mart)

Hmm, interesting, a guarantee! Since you put it that way, lemme double check my facts. Here's the sign in question, right? (the one on Jefferson/HWY 5) Also, their highest priced automatic car wash was/is 7 dollars, not $12 (as you said in your first post)and you only have to buy the cheap car wash, which is $4. (the car wash is only valid for a certain amount of time and they limit the amount of fuel you can buy at that discounted price to $60 worth) Not wanting to be contrary (my apologies right now if I come off that way) and certainly not trying to defend the companies silly business practices, but your accounting of their advertising as well as pricing is a bit off.... Now there's another company in town (neither of these two) that advertises a "cash price" on their sign and it's usually 2-10 cents cheaper than the price on the pump.. That seems different to me. Anyways..

Not really, the letters are about 12 inches tall, but the sign is a hundred feet up there... :shrugs:

You obviously didn't see the "w/car wash" fine print on the sign..

http://www.lebanondailyrecord.com/news/local/article_68319692-c513-11e0-9de2-0019bb30f31a.html A tad bit of backfill: The local Eagle stops are owned by one man, who is also a local distributor. The Johnson stations (conoco's) are all owned by another man, also a local distributor. Both own fuel stations/convenience stores across the street from one another in two separate locations in town (all along I-44), one grouping is at my interstate exit (127 exit). Both will start the day at a "reasonable" value ($3.29/gal today) and then one will lower their price two cents. Then the other will lower theirs 4 cents.. Etc, etc... As soon as the one store closes (7 pm) the other store goes right back to that "reasonable" value that they started with. Sunset, sunrise, back at it again. I gotta say myself (and my dealership) have been raking in the savings!! Then I read the article above today.. Now, I may not be in the gas business, but I am in the retail business and I can't seem to wrap my head around these stipulations that gas stations are under... For instance (from the article): That ain't how it works in any other retail business! I am allowed to make whatever profit or loss I would like! So, forum lawyers, explain this to me in terms I can understand?

:knee_slapper:

I do!!! I am so bummed for you man, I cussed a little bit when I read that it spit it out!

Hmmmm, sounds perfect!!

Awe, C'mon Ronnie!! You know that, for that to happen, first Eric would hafta be able to catch one of those Crane Creek trout!

Thank you!

Aaaawwwee!!! But I wanna!!!! This is America, dammit, I'll do what I please!! :kicks_the_dirtmound:

Classy signature! lol I have no idea about the dam(n) phone, but I'm loving the loophole around the cursing sensor on this forum!! Well done, Tippet7!!

:takes_a_bow:

Mmmmm, looks tasty!!

Yeah, I just figured that, since I am most likely the only forum member that would get the reference, I had an obligation to comment on it... Or lay down a rap to it, anywayz... Holla!!! :woot:

Great report, loved the title... I can forsee a Snoop Dogg remix of that one!! When a fishie get an attitude Pop it like it's HOT!! Pop it like it's HOT!! When an agent tries to get at you Pop it like it's HOT!! Pop it like it's HOT!! When your fishing for dem bassies, dude! Pop it like it's HOT!! Pop it like it's HOT!! I got my fly box on my arm as I'm fishin' on the farm and I roll the best cast cuz I got it goin' on! Pop it like it's HOT!! Pop it like it's HOT!!

You mean pics of the put in, right? Or did they all just float that first hole? I take it the photographer didn't come along?
