New Senior Member

[Phil Synhorst]

I see we have a new Senior Member\\:D/, I won't mention any initials(Ed Wahl). Does this mean he gets the discount at Denny's now?:twisted:

[Ed Wahl]

Careful there sonny boy. I've got the big wheels on my walker.:D

[Phil Synhorst]

Bad news for me is, even with a walker, you can still smoke me on the high country trails.#-o

[Darian]

Damn!!!.... I didn't know anybody kept track of that stuff.... ;) ;)

[Hairstacker]

Ed, congratulations on your newly appointed rank of senior gabber. :lol:

You have definitely helped shape the personality of this board and have contributed much to it being a fun place to hang out. I am looking forward to the next 1,000. =D>

[David Lee]

I noticed that early this afternoon .....

I always knew Ed was as full of s%$t as the rest of us old timers . Truth be told ...... I'm still getting over that baby-back-rib line .

Congrats , Mr. Chatterbox !! In honor of your newly-found fame .... I'll go start a fight in the Steelhead forum .

NOT !

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Thanks guys, I've met a lot of fine fishers on this board and have learned quite a lot from them. Bill, thanks for putting this board up to start with, it's a fine gift to all of us.

At least I crossed over on a positive note. Helping a newbie and cracking a lame joke, that's what I'm all about.

So,fellow seniors, what kind of benefits can I look forward to now?

Champagne and caviar in a special 'seniors only' lounge room at the shop?

A complementary glass of Dalwhinnie while I shop?

A lukewarm Budweiser on my own tailgate?

Tell me we at least get to have Charlie G. untangle snarls for us.

Why'd it get so quiet in here?

[Hairstacker]

I think I hear crickets . . . . :lol:

[Darian]

Hmmmm,.... This thread seems appropriate whilst sitting here watching Blazing Saddles. :cool: To quote a famous line from the movie, "What in the wide, wide world of sports is..uh goin' on here :question: "

One thing David didn't list is the ability to forget anything you've ever heard or read on demand (sometimes involuntarily). :D :D :D

[Scott V]

The old fart finally gets his up and comings, about damn time. Keep an eye out for Ed at his new job as a greeter at Wal-Mart.

[Mik]

I have been dreaming of becoming a senior member. #23 is my favorite.

[Charlie Gonzales]

Thats a lot of wisdom shared, Ed. And look at scotty getting ready to break the mark, thats a lot of posts in just a couple years.

[Ed Wahl]

Actually I gained a lot of wisdom and friends from this board. Returning a bit here and there is the least I can do.

Scott, a handful of one word posts and you're there.

Hey Charlie, uh, I've got this tangle,........would you mind?:D

[Phil Synhorst]

Hey Charlie, I have a simple two word response for you to that last question...."cherry preserves?":unibrow:

[Darian]

Phil,.... If this is going where I think it is, it reminds me of a line from a Ray Stevens song titled, Willard MacBain (who, "....only had just one thought on his brain"). The line, near the end of the song says something about a rubber chicken, some peach preserves and having a good ol' time.... :unibrow: :unibrow:

[Phil Synhorst]

Darian, unfortunately I have never heard that song. But if it goes where I think it does, that's a hell of a lot funnier than my joke.:lol:

[Darian]

Phil,.... If you enjoy some politically incorrect songs, Ray Stevens has written and sung some of the funniest, slightly off color songs I've ever heard. He was infamous in the 70's and 80's but is sort of retired now.... Here's a sampling of some of his titles:

The Streaker (during a basketball game :rolleyes: ),
The Blue Cyclone (about a night at the rasslin' matches :unibrow: ),
Summer Bible School (I had to attend a couple of those when I was around 9 years old :wink: ),
Dudley Dooright of the Highway Patrol (gotta be careful with this one.... :wink: ),

to name but a few.... Some of the titles couldn't be listed here [-( (all were funny tho :D :D ). Ray Stevens songs each had something in them to insult damn near everyone. :p :p

[Phil Synhorst]

I've heard some of his songs over the years, he's a great satirist. I tried googling that song to no avail, I'll have to try harder, my curiousity is piqued.:smile:

[Gregg]

Now I get it... I thought "Senior Member" referred to someone with a high post count, like a "grand pubah" of the Kiene's board. I was aspiring to be a senior member for a minute...hahaha.

Edit:

Ok wait, now I'm really confused. I just re-read the thread and maybe it is post count? Is it participation or AARP status? I never got to be a "junior member". Is there some middle ground with a cool name? Like "Senior Member in Training"? I guess this is what I get for being away from the board forever! Anyways, congrats Ed!

[Ed Wahl]

Gregg, nice seeing you on here again.

We do have a title for you.

Senior member in his own mind.:D

We bow to your wisdom, O mindful one.

What happened to "I love scotch"?

Ed

[Gregg]

Yo Ed. I've been MIA from pretty much everywhere for the last year. The wife and I made a baby, the store's been busy, I finally finished school...it's been the kind of year that makes me tired just reminiscing. As far as the scotch goes, I said "I love scotch" in Vegas a few months ago until 4 am one night, and with our flight out 3 hours later at 7am, it's been "I don't love scotch!" It was one of those "please Jesus, make this stop and I swear I'll never drink again. I'll do community service. Anything, please." moments. Adam and I are gonna strike out and find some water coming up here soon though. You should roll out with us... I'm down with that title too!

[Ed Wahl]

Gregg, with the powers vested in me by virtue of yakking a lot, I bestow upon you the title of Senior Member In His Own Mind. :-\"

Remember, with great power comes great responsibility. #-o

OOOh, I feel your pain on the scotch story. When I was much younger and stupider I did the same, only with cheap scotch. J&B. Still can't take the smell of it. :wasted: :-& :puke:

Ed

[David Lee]

Gregg -

You had a hand in planning the aborted Feather River trip , therefore .... you are a senior member .

Not to mention the 'party 'till 4 , fly at 7' club (which , strangely , most of us here also belong to ....) - there's a seperate list of perks for that one ......
