|  |     Donmac
    
    I just tried to read note 979 to see what the hats are I got to reply
    number 7 and gave up.  What was the outcome of the hat and can they
    still be bought?
    
    Thanks

| 1293.4 | I think the hats are all gone | MLTVAX::LUCIA | Ice fishing convert | Wed Jan 03 1990 17:36 | 18 | 
|  | Count me in to go to the show, any night is fine with me.
As for the hats:  John had 100+ "Terminal Angler" hats made after last year's
show so we could identify the fishing noters wherever we went.  They are blue
baseball hats with a patch that looks something like:

| 1293.10 | Here I'll hold your wallet for you....;*) | ROULET::BING | The midnight train is whinin' low | Fri Jan 05 1990 06:51 | 23 | 
|  |     
    So ol' smartass..I mean Coonass is going to be coming waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
    up north to visit us forieners huh. Well coonass I thought I'd give
    you a few tips on what to bring with you so you have a nice trip.
    
    First bring your Muklucks. Those are the heavy winter boots the
    Eskimos use so they don't frreeze thier feet off. Next bring your
    heavy down parker with the wolverine fur around the hood so you
    don't freeze your face off. Then wear your big ol' cumbersome
    gloves so your hands don't freeze off. Of course you will have to
    let one of us hold your wallet for you. Because with those heavy
    gloves on, you won't be able to reach your money to buy all the
    beer, and with those boots on you won't be able to chase us when
    we drink all your money, and with that parker you will probably
    get locked up or end up on Piedmont street where some nice lady
    will offer to show you around for fifty bucks! 
    
    Any way it will be good to meet you. Any idea where or when everyone
    is going to meet.                                              
                                                  
                                Walt

    Bass Ale just like last year........it was a good time......!!!!!!
    
    The night is Thursday and I guess we'll meet at the concession stand
    about 9:30 or so and take off from there. Nothing to keep any of us
    from getting together sooner or whatever. 
    
    Looking forward to seeing you all again. Glad to hear you'll be there
    Coonass.......you can buy me one this year :^)

|  |      Where is the place that y'all are going to after the show ? Is
    it walking distance from the Centrum ? Some other places that are
    close are: The FireHouse (probably too many good looking ladies
    there, though), Margaritaville (next door to the FireHouse) and
    Maxwell Silverman's "Toolhouse". There's a bum bar called "Moynagh's"
    (I think) behind the FireHouse too. It don't matter - color me there!

| 1293.19 | Coonass, how do you arrange these things? | SA1794::CUZZONES | Mondo Bondo | Wed Jan 10 1990 19:30 | 15 | 
|  |     Well, I may have to take a week off to do it, but I should be there.
    How could I refuse after TBDW sent me a personal command not to
    wimp out.  TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE, TBDW.  
    
    Thank Gawd for the hats ... I won't have to walk around the show
    with my badge on like I did the first year.
    
    Jerry McKinnis again?  BB, you must be ecstatic (means happy). 
    
    Hey, Joe, you gonna be there?  I musta stopped by yer desk a hunnerd
    times in December and you were never there.
    
    See y'all at the show.

|  | At the moment, it looks like I won't be able to make the annual BASS ALE 
BASH after the Centrum.  I am planning to go during the day on Thursday but 
will probably leave around 4 PM or so.  I'm planning on taking Friday off to 
head up north to fish the weekend at the annual Winin Ice Derby (meaning I'm 
gone the whole weekend).  Staying out late on Thursday nite too is pushing 
my luck with the wife, especially considering that I'd like to join a bass 
club this year AND go to Pickwick Lake (Alabama) in April for a week!
Sooo...if any of you guys are there early, I'll see you.  Otherwise, don't 
let Coonass get too drunk.

       Ranger Ron Scholz has developed a tumor on his leg and will be in
       the hospital  (MASS GENERAL) for surgery.  He went in for a biopsy
       yesterday and is awaiting the results.  We all know that ole RR is 
       a tuff old bird but I guesse it would FREAK out the best of us.

|  | On second thought....I don't think I'll pass up the Bass Ales!   I'd like to 
suggest, however, that rather than leaving when the show closes at 10 PM 
that we leave a little earlier.  It's a long drive back to the north 
country.
What say we all plan to meet in front of the concession stands between the 
two halls about 7 PM to plan our getaway?
-HSJ- 
PS  gee...I remember one time when we musta caught at least 150 smallies in 
an hour!  I'll tell y'all about it.

	Count me in on a few Bass Ales
	To help me swallow those tall tales
	
	I'll cruise the booths at the show
	and end up dropping lots of dough
	Meet you at the booth to make some plans
	For fish stories told using both hands
	I'll be wearing a T.A. cap
	Anxious to hear some Coonass rap
	And after everyone is in a fog 
	I'll spin a yarn bout a monster Hawg
	
	So I'm not a poet.........Johnny Roach

    200 lies in an hour, at least.

    " DECISION: Let's meet at 7 PM to plan the rest of the evening."
    
    WOW,  that's the fastest I have ever seen a decision made at DEC!!!
          And without a meeting to boot !!!!!!   8>)
    
       If one of you could stop back by the Mass BASS booth after and let
    me know the outcome I would appreciated it.  Hey how do you get to the
    watering hole from the Centrum??

we'll be meeting at 7 pm, WHERE? (I've been to the Centrum often enough,
just never to the expo.)

    I'm sorry I couldn't make it for drinks but I was at the show since
    4:45 and my back was starting to kill me with all that standing around
    plus I was getting low on cash ( T's Lure co. got most of that!).

     Sorry I missed the after festivities. Got talking to a few reps
    and next thing I knew it was 10:00. I was very tired and decided
    to call it a night.

realized my error at 4:30 on thursday, but my wife had already made plans to
go to her jazz-dance class. I know I'll meet Coonass one of these days. :-)
 Sorry I missed you all. Let the seasons begin!!!!!

|  |     Like y'all, I enjoyed putting names/faces together too. I thought
    DonMac would be some serious old dude... Coonass was BETTER than I had
    hoped - what a composite of intellect/"good ole boy".
     Didn't get to talk to everyone I wanted to (probably could have, if I
    shut up more). Enjoyed hearing Bassin' whatever grumbling about Jerry
    McInnis lack of factual info - perhaps that is a recurrent theme... I
    think I saw R/O Palmer, but the sighting was unconfirmed, since he is
    apparently mute. Great to talk with Gary the Mat Man, Gitzit' ("how the
    walleyes bitin'?"), and The Molesta (don't worry Les, the kid's parents
    said she'll never testify...). Spent some time with HSJ discussing the
    merits of Bagley's line and learned some great stuff from him (old
    people didn't get old bein' no fool...), and really enjoyed TBDW (it's
    o.k., Gary, Juan Corozon is really the only "back deck drunk).
     This file has some serious fishin' talent, and even though I'm not
    serious, I sure enjoy the chance to listen, learn and pound down them
    ole longnecks...

| 1293.53 | good times! | ABACUS::TOMAS | Joe | Tue Feb 06 1990 08:34 | 23 | 
|  | Ahyup...it was fun, as usual.  Great to see old friends and meet new ones.  
Like most everyone said, it's good to put some faces with the names.  Except 
for the Skoal Bandit...he was better off remaining faceless!  (call me old, 
huh! Gotchya!)
It also looks like I lost my title for tall fish tales.  WHo said they were 
catching 250 walleyes an hour??
It really looked like TBDW was once again pulling his famous WIMP-OUT act, 
but he finally made an appearance.  Loved them BASS ALES, Gary!  
I also find that our annual Centrum get-to-gether starts the countdown to...
OPEN WATER!!!  
I'm usually on the Merrimack within 5-7 weeks after the show and it's gotta 
be the  L-O-N-G-E-S-T  5-7 weeks of the year!  
Yup, looking forward to meeting you guys on the water in some head-to-head
competion or just for the fun of it.  I don't care.  Just as long as the 
water is soft and wet....not hard and cold!

| 1293.56 | An evening of sparkling entertainment ! | MSDOA::CUZZONE |  | Thu Feb 08 1990 15:47 | 21 | 
|  |     Maybe better than ever!  Always a pleasure to meet new faces to place
    with old usernames and doubly a pleasure to remeet with old friends.
    
    For those interested, although I was told that T's lures were not
    available locally (in Mass), I have found them in my local tackle shop
    (now Knoxville, Tn) (no beanie weenies though).  I have also found a
    few Tennessee produced lures that may not be distributed nationally. 
    As soon as I find out whether any of them are any good, I will send a
    couple up to TBDW ( who you may remember lost boxes full of
    irreplaceable stuff a while back ) for local distribution at the next
    Monomonac tourney ;-).
    
    Hey I'm glad the timing was right.  I wanted one last look at your ugly
    faces before I left.
    
    Anybody sent a cap to Jerry?  I'll do it if someone will sell me an
    extra.

But you 'd better send some samples to someone else because TBDW will have a 
hard time handing them out from his living room...  You'll have to give 
them to someone who actually shows up at these tournaments... 8^)

Maybe this year you can get it right?!?!  Half a beer per person is not what 
I call "get them to stock the BASS ALE."
What they had last year didn't even make it around for the first round!
I'd hate to see how you "stock" a pond...(water...no fish)
or build a "stock" car...(car...no wheels)
or buy DEC "stock"...(gimme half a share please)
SO take the hint...STOCK up or we'll STOCK it to ya!

|  |     Has anyone been to the Worcester show this week and seen the 'canoe'
    lady. She is just as you walk in the place. Maybe 3-4 booths down the
    hall. Handing out flyers for a handcrafted canoe. She had more guys
    interested in the canoe, who never had a single thought about one until
    they got there. 
    I was there the minute it opened.
    On the show, the same as in past years. Very good, all the producers
    and enough dealers to keep you happy.

I'll be there about 6ish.  Are we going out to pop a few Bass Ales after?
Let's plan to meet at the beer/buger stand (between the two halls) at about 
9:00 PM to plan the post-show festivities.
BTW...
Have you heard about Iraq's new beer??
It's call...
 SCUD LITE...IT NEVER HITS THE SPOT!!
See y'all there.
