Twist & Shout has many great memories for

the older guys on the C.com website. This thread uses old sayings, jokes. techniques and "twists" yours or another's way of maybe improving it(eg- quicker/cheaper/longer-lasting etc.) Creative-minds(Think-tank folks) effortlessly do this every waking minute, because that is a trait that starts at an early age and progresses sometimes into lucrative invention monies. So "Shout" out some of yours. Example- I have self-made/cut/watched it being cut by Pros, pizza all my life while using knives, cleavers, pizza wheels etc. I just pulled one out of the oven to cut it(I like mine edge-crispy), and NOW realized that by starting the wheel AWAY from the edge and cutting TOWARDS the crispy-edge was easy-peasy, extra-cheese pleasey!:highfive Hey Mikey, try it you'll LIKE IT!:Rofl Joke(modification)-Why doesn't he just trade her in for a newer(younger) model...I tried that and the Judge awarded her THAT too!:bash - You know, they say that Silence is Golden so how did my reputation get so tarnished if people were keepin' their mouths SHUT...somebody MUSTA said somethin to my ex-!!nonono (True story)Someone had the NERVE to tell me many years ago that "If I had to take a walk inside your brain, I'd be lost in 30 seconds. Comeback kid(return serve) states "Thanks GOD you don't have THAT to worry about/Why's that?(he ponders)/You FIRST have to GET one!!:Rofl I can STILL SEE his tail dragging as he limped away!!:cheers2

A rod tip repair kit can save a day of fishing should you break the end off of yours

A lighter can be used to melt a torn plastic bait back together. If you are down to your last one it can keep you on the fish

Whittled piece of stick and some electrical tape makes a decent boat plug when yours has somehow vanished and you are at the launch.

A set of jumper cables can jump from your trolling battery to your starting battery to get you cranked up

Wet boots dry out pretty quick in front of the refrigerator. Lots of warm air comes out of the bottom

A drink bottle makes a pretty good improvised funnel

A good knife, flashlight and a lighter can be great to have when needed

Fuses can save the day on the water

always wear a life jacket/preserver

i carry a starter pack in case my battery goes down or like I did once left my key on for hours

i carry towels for hot seats and drying, paper towels and TP.

Wal Mart sacks for trash

SLAB SAUCE IS A ABSOLUTE MUST

Most of us don't have this problem, there was a time when I only had one rod and reel, if it messed up it was the end of the trip.

Years ago(37!), trying to impress a 1st-date on a fishing trip, she insisted on bringing our lunch. Using my freshly caught crawfish for bedding LM, I was getting "famous". Catching fish typically builds a novice's confidence, so now, after boatin' a few, SHE'S confident that she can effortlessly pitch the weightless crawdad on the #2. I found her a beautiful pb(5 #'r) to "show me what you can do!?":rolleyes: It was a little tight w/a couple small overhanging branches, so it was low percentage for a newbie. Absolutely sweet cast... except for the one, small branch.nonono I anticipated her gamey frustration, and knew she was going to hopefully try a snatch/try again attempt. I almost yelled "STOP! just leave it hang there!(Ever try dangling a live fly on a string/in front of a Frog?) I think you know what happens WITHIN 5 "Mississippi's"!:yikes:pray With the Crayfish "making waves" in the LM's lair, MRS. Greenback claimed residency and decided to pop a quick snack...Nope the line did NOT break because I highly recommended opening the bail. While I electric motor positioned us for the 12# mono "pre-photo op":pray:pray Yessir, KODAK moment for sure. :highfive:cheers2 Now that made the Guide hungry, now anticipating HER idea of our lunch! Cool deal!! Almost!:banghead Two corned Beef/rye (1 man-sized for yours truly) w/Swiss, kosher pickles and my fav coarse deli Mustard. Problem was the Swiss-cheese was still in a block...she forgot the slicer. In between her apologies, it took me 5 seconds to grab HER rod, with hook still attached, used the 12# mono to cut through "like melted butter"(No, silly, we released the Spawner after she ran out of film) ...WAY BEFORE we even knew how to spell cell-phones!:Rofl Sorry for the long read, but it definitely fits into this thread's purpose ="re-inventing" the wheel/joke/way is FUN and rewarding ESPECIALLY when it works!:twocents:biggrin
OK...who cut the cheez??!:Rofl
Almost forgot to mention the bad trailer-bearing fiasco/turned sweet that happened on the way on this SAME TRIP!! Luckily, I had EVERYTHING(including already greased bearings) Zip-locked, ready to go 20 minutes later(still dark, 1 1/2 hour drive yet):highfive:highfive We're still long-distance friends(1000 miles).:HandsClapping

I've had mono slice into my finger deep trying to break it. Certainly cheese did not offer much resistance. Good story

Thanks for the bearing idea!

Just think of what MacGyver could have done with a multi tool

Those old outboards that were electric start had a pull rope tucked up under the cowling. If it was missing or dry rotted a piece of anchor rope worked in a pinch.

A coin can substitute for a flat tip screwdriver in some situations

Fishing line can be used to remove a ring from a swollen finger....just ask my wife.

Always carry an anchor and a rope to cut it with

1/3 out...1/3 in...1/3 reserve in your gas tank.

Don't tug on superman's cape.

Sometimes that river flow will greatly impact your fuel flow positive going with the flow and negatively going against. Really good point

Hey Up2.......Turn your volume up and click on this ....... The Beatles - Twist & Shout - Performed Live On The Ed Sullivan Show 2/23/64 - YouTube

That's some good music

Those women were losing there minds

Check this one out..... Isley Brothers - Twist And Shout (Live) - YouTube

Them folks sure knew how to entertain. Back when music was worth listening to. I got to listen to this youngins music this morning in thenparking lot at work. At 130 decibels you couldn't help but hear it

Way way years ago as an electricians help I traveled around the country wiring fast food restaurants. Pretty good job for a 16 year old boy. The superintendent of the job had a black male lab named Matlock. The dog went everywhere with Gene. Slept in th same bed. At checkin you would hear Gene explain that Matlock is almost human. The dog understands the use of plumbing. They would let Gene have the dog in his room as long as he Was responsible for damages. This was a 2 week job. 3 days into this job Gene decided that since I was the youngest that I should be on dog doody duty. After a week of pooper scooper duty every time Matlock whimpered. I struck my plan. I fed matlock sausage balls With exlax. I had given him a full box by the end of the day. Matlock had a pound of sausage and box of exlax. Poor dog farted on Gene on the drive to the hotel. About 11:30at night I here the most awful cussing I had ever heard. I open the door soon enough to see the
mattress land in the bed of Genes truck from the balcony. Followed by Matlock going over the rail and down to the matress below. Gene had crap from his Armpit to his ankles. Which at the time that was the exact amount of my poop scooping duty. Gene never asked any more of the guys to clean up behind his dog

Have you been to Wal Mart lately, drives me nuts!

Kind of a battle royal here. Hispanic teens on one side and American teens on the other. God forbid you are the one stuck in the middle.

So Jack- Need to know...Severance pay??:scratchhead:Rofl You definitely had a "RUNs-in with the bossman!nonono then again, SEPARATIONpay would have been more appropriate!!:Rofl

This is as gross as it gets. And not a good idea to do to a dog. First off, chocolate is poisonous to them. Second, I'm a dog person, I love them, and taking it out on the dog and not the human just seems wrong. Dogs are people too I always say, they are certainly part of my family. Please, please guys don't repeat this.

Now, now Ed -YOU especially, easily know my vigilant LOVEfor my Raven...this prank(I know SERIOUS) was haphazardly conceived by a 16 year old!!:twocents

Sorry Slab. I am a dog person as well. It was not chocolate. It was 30 years ago when I didn't have very good judgment as most people in their teens. A vet tech friend was consulted as to what and how much to use. Please erase this post. I had not meant it with any malicious only the mischief of a 16 year ild boy

Also, wind-direction = MAJOR factor @TIMES!!:yikes:Rofl

u2s

Never fails when I get on the water the wind and current are never going in the same direction. And the boat will always be headed away from the launch. I used the paddle the kayak for exercise. When I paddled to my turning point with the wind in my face. It would always change directions. Made for better endurance training
