Greeny~~You're not the first guy to go to Mexico and come back with crabs. (Sorry, I just couldn't help it .)

lol

We had a ditch running through our old property; all our boys spent their summers playing in it...

One day I spied the mischievious one out by the ditch; he was hanging crawfish (crawdads) with little pieces of wire - upside down off of the electric fence. There were a dozen or so, each dangling very close to the ground. They all had their claws out-streched to their sides.

I asked what he was doing - to which he replied "I'm seeing which ones can hold their arms out the longest."

It was then I realized that if they relaxed their claws - they would touch the ground and get shocked; to which they promptly held them back out again.

My son chuckled.

I like to go hunting, but I prefer to keep the camp, prepare the meals, and do the butchering. I do love frog-gigging. We have several fantastic gigs we've had forever. Not much gigging here in Wyoming, though, but believe it or not, we had great frog adventures on the irrigation canals in the Imperial Valley in southern California. Some ginormous catfish, too. Deer, pronghorn, elk and moose are plentiful here.

when I was 4 or 5 my grandfather and my cousins went to this this place I don't remember the name of it but it was a small pond that the owner filled with catfish and we would go and spend the day catching catfish I used to be amassed at how flexible fishing rods were. every time I would try to pull the fish out of the water the fishing rod would bend in half, but after a bout half a day we went back to our lake house that my great grandfather built near a small town called Grandbury and my grand mother and my mother would skin the catfish and we would eat them for dinner, but a few years ago my family and I drove by it and it was turned into an RV storage place.

actually now that I think about it I went hunting once. it had rained all day the previous day and some kids said that there were crayfish living in the drainage ditch. so I found a stick and some string went home and got some sausage(I thought crayfish liked meat) so I tied the sausage on onto the stick and sat around for a few hours next to that drainage ditch waiting for it to start to eat the sausage but it never did. and i wasted about 3 hours of my saterday in 100 degree heat waiting for a nonexistant crayfaish to eat a soggy sausage

Oh, lawdy, I don’t know if you mean to or not, spy, but I’m reading your little stories in Jack Handey’s Deep Thoughts mode, and getting quite a chuckle…quite a chuckle indeed.

Cheers, young lad, cheers

Man I love cat fish
when ever skinnin I think of my self as a evil doctor
Mainly because those suckers can stay alive
take the skin off. Then do the wiggle
chop the head off they wiggle more
cook them
they jump out the pot even with out a head and no bone
WHY WONT YOU DIE

I mean really cat fish have evolved to the point they can regrow almost anything and survive almost anything

But hell they are tasty and all the constant re killing is worth it in the end.

Rick’s paraprosdokian twist.

Hey, cheers Gary for teaching me a new word today... I had no idea what "twist" meant previously...

[spypengen]

wow...(your still not as smooth and classy as caveman)

[Rick69]

One does not simply imitate another, Spy... Originality is key. Sure he is classy, but we are in no competition.

He is the caveman... No one cannot hope to copy him...

Whereas, I am me...

It will be better if you get used to it, Spy... It will be much easier on you...
