So remember this story the next time someone who knows nothing and cares less tries to make your life miserable.

A woman was at her hairdresser's getting her hair styled for a trip to Rome with her husband.. She mentioned the trip to the hairdresser, who responded:

"Rome ? Why would anyone want to go there? It's crowded and dirty.. You're crazy to go to Rome. So, how are you getting there?"

"We're taking Continental," was the reply. "We got a great rate!"

"Continental?" exclaimed the hairdresser. " That's a terrible airline. Their planes are old, their flight attendants are ugly, and they're always late. So, where are you staying in Rome ?"

"We'll be at this exclusive little place over on Rome'sTiber River called Teste."

"Don't go any further. I know that place. Everybody thinks its gonna be something special and exclusive, but it's really a dump."

"We're going to go to see the Vatican and maybe get to see the Pope."

"That's rich," laughed the hairdresser. You and a million other people trying to see him. He'll look the size of an ant.

Boy, good luck on this lousy trip of yours. You're going to need it."

A month later, the woman again came in for a hairdo. The hairdresser asked her about her trip to Rome.

"It was wonderful," explained the woman, "not only were we on time in one of Continental's brand new planes, but it was overbooked, and they bumped us up to first class. The food and wine were wonderful, and I had a handsome 28-year-old steward who waited on me hand and foot.

And the hotel was great! They'd just finished a $5 million remodeling job, and now it's a jewel, the finest hotel in the city. They, too, were overbooked, so they apologized and gave us their owner's suite at no extra charge!"

"Well," muttered the hairdresser, "that's all well and good, but I know you didn't get to see the Pope."

"Actually, we were quite lucky, because as we toured the Vatican, a Swiss Guard tapped me on the shoulder, and explained that the Pope likes to meet some of the visitors, and if I'd be so kind as to step into his private room and wait, the Pope would personally greet me.

Sure enough, five minutes later, the Pope walked through the door and shook my hand! I knelt down and he spoke a few words to me."

"Oh, really! What'd he say ?"

He said: "Who ****ed up your hair?" ]]> Off Topic Area Bill McIntyre http://www.spearboard.com/showthread.php?t=96235 $53 billion down the drain http://www.spearboard.com/showthread.php?t=96234&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:56:57 GMT not to mention all the lives lost, both American and Iraqi.

Oh well, "whether or not the American-built health centers and power plants are ever used as intended, the American companies that won the lion’s share of rebuilding contracts from the federal government have been paid."

Unfortunately 2 of my students couldn't make it on Thursday... oh well that left more fish for the 3 guys that could!

It wasn't flat conditions or fantastic visibility, but they were all strong divers, and they quickly learned to freeshaft some really nice hogfish! Water was about 72*F.

Vis was a hazy 20' in 52' & 62' off Passagrille, so my new shooters had a little trouble seeing the bigger fish at first, but it didn't take long before they were spearing and even stoning some of their fish.

I love seeing new spearfishers having success right off the bat!

My next spearfishing class session at Mac's Clearwater is Tues 11-24 if there is enough interest before Thanksgiving. The dive session will be available in mid December.

PS... Shameless plug: Mac's big Turkey Sale started today and includes many spearguns, shafts, accesories and dive gear.

How many would like to attend the fish cook off again this year? I would like to get a feel as to how many may attend. We had an awesome turnout last year and had a great time.

I'm thinking of the third or fourth Saturday in January.

So read my post and vote.

Here in California its practically legal. You can't go offer a street cop a hit off your joint, mind you, but if you have a pulse, you can get a prescription and pick up at a dispensary. Same goes for people in Colorado.

Who cares if you don't need pot for medical reasons? If you get medical status, then you can save your ass from arrest. And pot IS medicine to some people, my best friend dealt with state 2 cancer and during chemo, he couldn't keep food down without a bong hit or two.

But what about the children? Hell, this IS for the children. Which do you think is harder for a kid to get, a bottle of sour mash, or a bag of weed? Why's the Jack harder to get? Cause its regulated and sold in stores. Do the same for weed, and protect the children. Make the all inclusive smoking age 18, or bump it up to 21 if you please.

Which is better: a bloody knuckled scotch laden dad passing out every night amongst broken shards of glass, or daddy passed out next to a gallon of ice cream and salty cheese powdered stained fingers? :D

Alcohol is way worse than marijuana, I believe.

I got all kinds more arguments for legalization, like the MONEY, 'specially here in California and our unique budget "situation," but I think youse get the point.

Does anybody know if it is possible to manufacture oneself a couple spare cable for the type of sliptips that have a very small ball of metal at the end (around 4mm diameter).

These ball is inserted in a hole in the body of the tip.

Some photo of the sliptip i am thinking about :



I am thinking about using a normal stainless steel soldering machine to put some metal at the end of cable and later sand it with some machine to fit the hole, but i would like to know if there is problems before trying.
