Title: Another toy!
Post by: Rodney on March 15, 2005, 03:12:15 PM
My new Shimano Scorpion Metanium XT just arrived today! :D I am already loving it because:

Its shiny gunsmoke colour!
It's even smoother than my Scorpion 1500!

Does it matter? :P As Steelhead King said last year, "If you can't catch fish, at least you can look good." ;D

And you figure the reel will help..it's such a small part of the over all equation  ::)

But with a mug like that it certainly couldn't hurt  :o

Eh but it ain't a pin, center-pin is the only way to go!  The rest is just JUNK ;D

Get used to it, Nina. The difference between a man and a boy is the cost of his toys.  ;D

Oh oh Rod, when a girl friend wants you to start saving money, that only means one thing: she's waiting for a big rock!

If you hear even a murmour about her biological clock, I'd head for the hills else your fishing days are over!

Has anyone started a Rod/Nina proposal pool yet?!?   ;)

Next time when you come over, if you really want to borrow Nina's Gameboy, just ask! ;)

And quit giving the webmistress ideas! There's enough pressure in my life to deal with already. :P :D
