Decisions in an Engineer's life: Which bridges to cross, which bridges to build and which bridges to burn...

'Fishing is an excuse to be on the water'

Who do I have to kill to make this right?

Don't mess with old farts...age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill. Bullshit and brillance only come with age and experience.

I've used all my sick days for fishing, so today I called into work, Dead.

All right, brain. You don't like me and I don't like you, but let's just do this and I can get back to killing you with beer.

Fisherman \ N: A drunk liar in ugly clothes who plays with his pole in public.

FHB and proud of it!!

"Heh buddy are you going to keep that fish?"

Try to catch that one boys.

I can get along with anybody if they'll just try hard enough !

I've spent most of my money on women ,feeshen and beer;the rest I wasted...

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well-preserved body but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used-up, worn out, proclaiming – “Wow, what a ride!”

"Yes, everyone should be perfect but we’re only fishermen, we wade out into the water, we don't walk on top of it."

some is good
more is better
too much is just right

Zing Pow

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will sit on the beach and drink

Always strive to be the person your dog thinks you are!

Gotta believe in something, I believe I'll go fishin!!

It was your decision to listen to me.

It's bad luck to be superstitious

When you enter the water... you enter the food chain.

I am a caretaker of depressed fish.Those that want to commit suicide I take care of.

THE DRINKIN' WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES !!!

"Better to have loved and lost than to have spent the rest of my life with that psycho!"

There are 3 kinds of people....Those who can count and those who can't.

We all get heavier as we get older because there's a lot more
information in our heads. So I'm not fat, I'm just really intelligent and
my head couldn't hold any more so it started filling up the rest of me!

Work is for folks who don't know how to fish!!!

Hatteras aint just a place, but a frame of mind

><))))*>

Very few things in life offers more than the tranquillity of the surf.

There's a fine line between fishing and standing on the beach looking like an idiot

Bait, beer and time to fish. That's enough.

Misery is optional.

Don’t try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig.

whackem an stackem

It's better to be an open Sinner
Than a false Saint

I'd rather be a failure at something I love
Than a success at something I hate

Peace

I find my peace out on the sand
Beside the sea- not beyond or behind
But on the edge, on the border of foam and grit
Where sandfleas scatter among the crashing froth
And the plovers scurry along in front of each dying wave
Probing after some unseen morsel.

I find my peace in the damp salt air
Blowing in from the tropics or the Stream
Carrying aromas of fish and marsh and memory.
Days long past return as just yesterday,
Recollections triggered by a wafting scent,
Only to dissipate with the changing breeze.

I find my peace in the red-orange sun
Rising from the watery abyss once again as before,
Throwing warmth and brilliance against morning clouds
An endless fantasy fueled by fire-
The phoenix rising again to fly across the sky
And plunge back into the depths.

I find my peace casting among the breakers
With the same hopes of those who fished before me:
The limitless optimism and simple faith
That some morsel of bait or metal trinket
Will bring the surging run of a bull redfish
Or the glimmer of a seatrout in the wash.

I find my peace in thoughts of days gone by
Time spent with friends I may never see again
Images fill my mind on the flood tide,
And with the rising sun, and on the evening breeze
Scenes that can never, will never be repeated
But each time there is one less memory.

Someday the sun will rise, the breeze will blow,
The plovers will run along the tideline,
And I will be just a memory on the breeze.
Perhaps some passing fisherman will see my face
Briefly in the foam, before it scatters on a new wave,
And find his peace out on the sand.

Don't cry because he's gone; smile because you knew him.

" I have no ambition in this world but one, and that is to be a Fireman. The position may in the eyes of some, appear to be a lowly one; but we who know the work which a fireman has to do, believe his is a noble calling."

When the pin is pulled, Mr. Grenade is no longer our friend.

Southern is a spot in your heart, not where you are from!

PC: A doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.


A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking but the road of life is full of flattened squirrels that couldn't make a decision.

The definition of failure is when you successfully completed something that you should have never started in the first place.

..its like a sore pecker, you can't beat it.

"Boy, you're too stupid to play dumb"

that boy is so anal he proof reads the zerox copies.

just cause you're on your mestrual cycle doesn't mean you have to run me over with it...

"She's so ugly, the tide won't take her out."

"Fu%$ed up as a football bat."

"Madder than a one legged man at an ass kicking contest."

"Never argue with an idiot; they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience."

The harder I work the luckier I get

"If there are two answers to this question and one makes you cry, I mean the other one..."

Better to keep your mouth shut and have people think you're dumb, then open your mouth and prove it.

Some days you feel like you've been "shot at and missed, shit at and hit"

That boy's nuttier than squirrel s#!t."

If brains were gas you couldn't power a ants go cart around the inside of a cheerio

that girl has got more problems then a math book.

Theres no substitute for youth and horsepower.

I don't remember doing it, therefore it did not happen.

"Out like a fat kid in dodgeball"

"That boys 'bout as sharp as a bowling ball"

I got two words for ya, shut and up.

Son, it don't get no easier.

does a one legged duck swim in circles

She was run over by the ugly truck

"wetter than a bunch of fat chicks going to see ricky martin"

shaking like a dog shi**in razorblades"

"More frustrated than a parkinson's patient with a Rubik's Cube."

"Yeah, that'll go over like a fart in church."

Her face could make an onion cry

Son you have the touch of a rapist

You're about as smooth as sandpaper.

If brains were dynamite would couldn't even blow your nose.

You can't put a nail where a spike once lay!

You cut it twice and it's still to short!

"I'm Happier than a fag with a bag of dicks"

"Down like two flat tires"

"cool like the other side of the pillow"

"He's the type of guy to shoot out the other three tires when he gets a flat"

More chins than a chinese phone book

His family tree doesn't have any branches...

Crazier than a shit house rat

She's got a face that was meant for radio

Any job is like a tree full of monkeys- the one at the top looks down and all he sees are smiling faces, the ones looking up see nothing but a bunch of assholes.

It's not everyday you get to fish in the rain.

She was so fat we had to get a rodeo clown to distract her so we could bring in the groceries.

I want to die in my sleep like my grandfather, not like the screaming passengers in his car.

So broke I can't pay attention

Chances of getting in that are slim and none - and slim didn't show up

About as useful as a screen door on a submarine

When your only tool is a hammer all your problems are nails

If it flys,floats or #ucks, it's cheaper to rent it.

That ole gal looks like her face caught on fire and sombody beat it out with a rake.

Never under estimate the power of the brain, or in your case, the lack there of.

"she was so ugly at birth the doc slapped the mother"

"You're like my left hand....you just ain't right!"

That's a butterface girl... everything looks good but her face..

"you're luckier than a dog with two dicks !"

I would if I could, but I can't, so I ain't.
She killed me with her smile.
Best fish I ever flopped a lip on.
Company and fish stink after three days.
Fish or cut bait.
That kid could tear up a anvil with a rubber hammer.
Hotter than a pot of collards.
Sew wild oats all week and pray for no crop on Sunday.
She can't help being ugly, but she could have stayed home

I'm on it like a fat kid on a cupcake
Old age and treachery, Always overcomes youth and skill

That boy's as worthless as tits on a boar hog


F*&K the dog, beware of the owner

"bohica"- bend over, here it comes again

"snafu"- situation normal, all f---ed up"

" looks like two possums in a tote sack!"


"if it smells like fish ,give it a kiss, if it smells like cologne leave it alone"

"off and on" off your ass and on your feet”

Couldn't catch clap from a wh*re

. . He couldn't catch a mess of fish at Sea World with a dip net. .

. . that boy is strong like wet toilet paper.

He couldn't get laid in a womens prison with a fist-full of pardons."

His luck is so bad it could be raining pussies and he'd get hit with a dick!

He is tighter than a bull's ass in fly season

Hung like a baby, 8 lbs and 18"!

Nothin' says lovin' like marry'n your cousin

Gas, Grass or Ass, nobody rides for free

Shes so ugly, she could scare the rocks off a gravel road.

She swallowed more seamen than the ocean.

"He's so tight if he swallowed a penny he'd chit copper wire."

For dove season - "He couldn't hit water if he fell outa've a fu&^*'n boat."

Seems There Ain't never time to do it right, but we always got time to do it over.

Cheap?? That guys tighter'n a crabs ass, an I'm thinkin that's waterproof.

*When in doubt, poke it with a stick.

Depending on others to fight your battles makes you part of the problem. If you love something, live for it, think about it constantley, and spend hard money for the gear to do it - time and effort should be no barrier to preserve it.

Scalez:
Had a dear friend from Reed Spring, Missouri who used to say: I lived so far back in the woods I had to ride a pregnant mule in to make sure I had a ride back out.

I'm hungrier than a ***** wolf with a litter of pups.

When I got new shoes I used to put rocks in 'em to get used to 'em.

One night we went somewhere that had a country music band. Being a city boy I asked "how the hell do you dance to that?"
Without missing a beat back came his response: "two staggers and a lunge, Smitty".

He was a great guy and a better friend.

Oft heard offshore fishing when Capt Mike was within VHF-shot of a missed billfish,

"Some days you bite the bear, some days the bear bites you."

BTW there was a small embroided pillow in the main salonthat had the following statement regarding the boat,

"Dead Solid Perfect."
