"A Farewell To A.R.M.S."

[emerod]

I logged on tonight for one last review of

the softball board before logging off for the

summer hiatus. I was dismayed to find that the

censors had muzzled that little thread of Del's

that had been such a pleasant diversion. Since

I do not have the option of posting my seasonal

farewell on my thread of choice, I will do so here.

To Del, Queenie, Fan, Twan and all the good sports

and talented writers who made surfing CoachT so enjoyable this year, I say thanks and, Lord willing, we will joust again next spring. To the rabid partisans and humorless butchers of the written

language, I also say thanks. Every stew needs a

little pepper. To CoachT, I say thanks for this

forum and all it's many entertaining and informing

services. So until next spring I say farewell to

Army jokes, Recipes, Motormouths and Scholars.

D.A.M.M.I.T., I'm gonna miss you guys.

"To the rabid partisans and humorless butchers of the written language"...that's hilarious! Can I use that sometime?

[DelTavian]

Where's my M-60?!?!?!

 

Oh, you didn't mean that kind of arms.

 

emerod,

 

Thanks to you as well. I have enjoyed your posts as well. Nothing like a little intelligence mixed in to the fray of "rabid partisans and humorless butchers of the written

language."

 

As for me, I'm going fishing!!!

 

Del.

Dang, Del, you still haven't caught that fish?

[Antwan]

I'll see you next year emerod. You are right, this is a great forum for high school sports. I have enjoyed your posts also.

[DelTavian]

Mike,

 

If there's still one swimming then it needs caught!

 

Del (who watched his son outfish everyone all weekend in numbers. But one of the yankee visitors did catch the big one. A 26lb or more carp. Too bad you can't eat them.)

Check out the carp at the bottom of this page. That's Don Berry, former webmaster of the Tullahoma Wildcat baseball page. This is his personal family page for the grandparents back in Ohio. (Don is the one seated...the fish is the one on the table).

Del- I think you have been challenged. You better let the boy handle this:

Remember that commercial...Emeraude...stays on my mind... emerod...you have a great summer...and I'll look forward to your return next spring...

 

Hey Del???...You've never visited Lake Erie, eh?...Carp are some good eatin' according to some of the pier fisherpeople...but that thing about that brown vein thing you have to avoid kinda ruins the thought of a nice carp fry for me...

[std]

Nail the carp to a board. Bury he carp and board in horse manure for 10 days. Dig up, discard the carp and deep fry the board.

[mikemcgee]

LOL!!!! You folks don't serve that in the concession stand down at Goodpasture do you? No wonder your home record is so good. I thought it was great talent and coaching, but turns out you've been killing off the competition with vittles.

[DelTavian]

For those of you planning to attend the "Del's Annual Fish Fry and Army Reunion" you can rest assured that there are no round mouths in the pot at my fish fry.

 

No carp, drum, buffalo, gar, shakerhead shad, skip jack or anthing else nasty go in my pot. But at least 100 lbs of fish will be fried up along with french fries and hush puppies.

 

As for the carp fishing, I will be trying to catch the ones in the private pond just to get them out of there. Once caught they will be thrown in the swamp promptly for turtle bait.

 

Which reminds me. Anyone like turtle soup? If so I've got several large ones that need caught out of my pond. One is at least as round as a 55 gallon drum. If I catch him and don't have a soup eater in mind I'll just shoot him and throw him in the swamp too.

 

Del (who thinks Coacht will have to start a fishing board soon.)
