party pooper

OK I've already put on my flame retardant suit in preparation for the backlash, BUT....

Perhaps I'm just getting old, or maybe I'm just an ultra right-wing conservative, but I think the "mine is bigger than Mingos" avatar situation is starting to get a little out of hand, guys.

My kids read along with me on this site all the time. I've also got nurses looking over my shoulder at the hospital computer wondering what kind of perverted doc logs into sites like this in the midddle of the surgical work day. Frankly it's pretty pathetic that I have to come up with a lame explanation every time another set of mammaries goes scrolling by.

Not saying you guys can't have your fun, but instead of plastering your melon-clad avatars willy nilly onto every thread on the board, how about starting a "boobathon" thread that nobody has to look at unless they actualy click on the damned thing? How about changing your avatars back to subjects with a little more decorum and class, then just stockpile the sexy images in the special boobathon thread for those who need their daily fix.

Please?

....my wife also questioned the avatars when she glanced over my shoulder the other day....I tell folks about the website and encourage them to sign up. I don't tell them about the avatars, but wonder what they think when they log in.

I'm in support of FNP's call for a change.

i've actually wondered why there isn't a way to just turn off all the avatars in the profile options for users at work.

taken singularly i don't think they're all that bad. me and sol have any sort of interchange tho and it's 'butt, boobs, butt, boobs' heck, sol's avatar alone practically fills the whole screen. god forbid mingo or sunday money should interject. I can see how it'd be a bit much.

I don't mind changing mine.....or is it just the booby ones?

If those were the rules we'd never get to see pictures of Parker fishing, or Sol covering his potato threatened man cheeks.

I don't have a problem with the avatars. It's about freedom of choice. If you don't like what's on TV........turn the channel. If you don't like what's on the radio.......turn to a different station. Choose what you want to hear and see.

Unfortunately, sometimes you don't have a choice. Last night I was at Bellevue Square doing a little Xmas shopping and happened to walk BY Victoria Secrets. The mannequins in the windows made me blush. They were far worse than any avatar on this site. And there were moms and kids walking by everywhere.

Tell your nurses to go back to work and why are you browsing fishing sites when at work Doc? How's that for a little backlash?

Wow! I thought these were all self portraits. You mean Lupo isn't a hot chick! I had all these fishing fantasies, and now they're, like, wasted!

..and since you've gotten this far...here's a (not very) absolutely true story

I have been so blessed in my life. Great parents, great wife and kids, great job, and a great education.

When my first kid went off to college, I could hardly wait to spend time enjoying my favorite pastime -- bass fishing. I got my own little fishing boat and tried to get my wife to join me, but she just never liked fishing.

Finally, one day at the Bait & Tackle Shop, I got to talking to Tommy, the shop owner, who it turned out loves bass fishing as much as I do. We quickly became fishing buddies. As I said, the wife doesn't care about fishing; she not only refuses to join us, she always complains that I spend too much time fishing.

A few weeks ago Tommy and I had the best fishing trip ever. Not only did I catch the most beautiful bass you've ever seen, only a few minutes later Tommy must have caught his twin brother! So I took a picture of Tommy holding up the two nice bass that we caught and showed the picture to the wife, hoping that maybe she'd get interested. Instead, she says she doesn't want me to go fishing at all anymore! And she wants me to sell the boat! I think she just doesn't like to see me enjoying myself.

What would you do? Tell the wife to forget it and continue my hobby or quit fishing and sell the boat as she insists?

Thanks, A Fisherman

P. S. I have enclosed the picture of Tommy showing off the bass we caught...

Last time I saw Tommy he was still PreOp Tommy the Tranny, evidently the surgery was a success.

And yes dayshift nurses are prudes.

I enjoy the avatars, and will live with any embarrasment thus caused. However, in trying to add my avatar to my profile, I noticed that you CAN turn off other folks avatars for when you are viewing posts. Now if we could just assign 'ratings' codes, and you could selectively turn them off.

Personally, anybody whose avatar shows a bigger salmon than any that I have caught I consider insulting and degrading and not appropriate! (just kidding, sort of).

Yeah you can turn off avatars, but cannot turn off that "big-bass" photo above.

I still can't figure out what movie h2o avatar is from?

Yeah, I gotta agree with you there doc. It almost feels like this web site is sponsored by Maxim magazine or something.

Wasn't aware of the "avatar off" option. This will keep me out of trouble if you know what I mean...

I found the "avatar off" button in "my profile" under "Edit preferences".

Let me start by saying I dont think anybody should change their avatars!

I forgot about the option to turn off avatars of other users. This will be handy at work. It will require me to actually log into the site when I view it at work. But it will keep me safe from the "Prud Police". :rolleyes:
The entire network where I work is monitered by tech's who can see what your surfing.

Dont get me wrong, I love the avatars, but have always been concerned about the growing "zero tolerance" policy where I work when it comes to employee conduct.

Don't give us that conservative communist bullsh%t, dude. I heard about you in action at the Westport bar-b-que, cussing and dropping F-bombs in front of others kids. Or is it just your kids you worry about? Every time one of you hypocritical self-righteous neo-nazi conservatives open your mouth in favor of censorship, be it in the paper, on the news, in real life or on this board, I want to puke. Give it a break, Sulu. Warp speed straight ahead I say.

OUCH!!!That's gunna leave a bruise!!

My wife gives me that "high eyeborw" look once in a while...but she also understands that "boys" will be "boys".

Growing up as a moral degenerate in So. Cal. (Newport Beach area) I've seen more mammaries than the average dude, and have come to accept over the years that boobs are boobs..and the big 'uns ain't near as much "fun" as those more appropriate sized for the body they are attached to. I like them just as much as the next guy, but the limit of "what-is-reasonable" was passed by here a long time ago, IMHO.

SOL: I'm glad you know the DOC personally...your comments (and assertions) are way out-of-line. Puke if you feel the need, but this is a forum for literally hundreds of people...not just you and your little clique. Grow up, and get over it. Folks have not said anything to this point just because it often seems that you and your gang run this board...well, it is time for a bit of that same respect as you have been given to be returned.

However, if the forum's owners feel that they want/built this board just for the "gang", then I would like Bob to advise the rest of us that have spent so many hours here, and we will find somewhere else to hang out. Not a problem.

Thanks Doc for standing up for what is reasonably decent. Meek and humble as it is, you are welcome in my boat anytime.

That is all I have to say on the matter.

Mike B (Middle of the road dude who just believes in a reasonable level of commonly accepted decency)

I think it's time for me to put on the earphones and crank up some Metalica. Perhaps a little, "Holier Than Thou." :p

Forum for hundreds is right. Turn the damn avatars off if you guys don't like them.

Yes, there is an avatar on/off button in everyones profile. Too bad the rest of us have to miss the cool avatars because you think with your winkie instead of your brain.

Metalica was short lived. I'll stick with RUSH, Johnny Winter and the old time Zepplin.

Well said ISO. I'm not in favor of any type of censorship but it's nice when people are willing to show a bit of class in public instead of just saying "f**k you, I'll do as I please".

But, I know with some folks here you just have to look at the source and move on.

The avatars don't bother me but I'm not the only person viewing.

It's just like the guy that pulls up next to you at the stop light with his windows down and thumping sound system going full blast. All he's really saying is that everyone else can just screw off 'cause it's all about me.

We're the strongest nation in the world. It's the libral boob-loving commanders and ass kickers among us storming the boarders of country's occupied by those that feel like you that give you the freedom you enjoy, and they're listening to Metalica and Maiden when they do it, not RUSH, Jonny Winter and Zepplin.

WOW,how long till The Big One steps in??.I'm gonna plead the 5th on this one.Both have there points.Good luck,
STRIKE ZONE

P.S. I think the problem would be solved if the big breasted woman were holding up bling bright steelhead/coho & nook's.Then this thread may have never started.

"Metalica was short lived."

Good God! I think a little piece of me just died!

I'm with STRIKE ZONE on this matter.

Lupo has a cool avatar. It has all the makings of quality, and doesn't express pure sex..a nice looking gal with a nice fishy. She ain't saying.."Look at my hooters..they aren't big and droopy!!

I will apologize for the Metalica comment...didn't mean to slam them..I LIKE Metalica, at times.

This thread is headed for destruction...soon..and I've got work to do. See Y'all.

MB

Doc: The simple fact is that most men are fascinated by breasts American men apparently more so than our European counterparts. Perhaps because Americans are such prudes and make such a big deal out of mammary glands. Whereas in Europe bare breast are no big deal.

Your girls need to know how obsessed we men are with those great gobs of fat. After all as your girls mature they will very likely have boobs and they will be better served if they understand men’s fascination with boobies. I doubt they will harmed by viewing abnormally large bosoms that are covered with tiny bits of cloth. But they will gain a small insight into the psych of men.

P.S.I recently read that our fascination with boobs had a deep evolutionary basis. Some scientists say that Neanderthal man was attracted to women with the largest breast as breast as essentially fat. Women with big breast were fat and healthy, thus the best breeding stock. See, nothing could be more natural.




P.S Sol, I resent that remark about Led Zeppelin. I listened to Metallica all day during the SRD, next time you can listen to the six hour version of In-A-Godda-Da-Vida. Yeah, I know different group but same genre. You can do whatever you want to with boobies, but don't dis my music!

Good points ISO Chrome and Fish Doc. I agree that the little club\clique atmosphere is dragging down this board. And I agree that classless avators and pics are pushing many potential and long term members away.

Perhaps that's what Bob wants for this site. Fine, it's his to do with as he sees fit. But don't kid yourself about 'censorship'. What a load of bull. This is a public board, but is privately owned and if there are policies in place on certain content, the site mods have every right to enforce those policies.

I'm not dissin' Zep, dude. I burned a bit of herb to those guys in my younger days. All I was saying is our dudes thumping across Irag in U.S. tanks pushing the button on rag-head insurgents is jacked on adrenaline and Metalica, not day-dreaming about flower fields, rainbows and Zeplin.

"Let's get ready to rumble".....Nice post Vedder!

This is a real tempest in a teapot. I went to my profile and clicked on "Hide Others Avatars". It worked and took less than 20 seconds. It's like so many censorship issues. if you dont want to see it don't look!

Now I need to go back and turn the avatars back on.

I have been busted by my wife, looking at Sol and Mingos boobs. I just tell her they are pictures of their wives, and used as a status symbol on this site:D . She has hid or destroyed every swimsuit photo we have of her.

matt

"if you dont want to see it don't look!"

Better yet, if you have half a brain, you'll know that if you want porn and T&A there are much more logical places to get it than a fishing forum...

"censorship" - you guys are killing me

Pro boob Republican here.

This is not about censorship..but moreso about a certain level of class and respect for others.

I would not disrespect my wife by sticking a pic of some well endowed broads boobs up as an avatar. A beautiful woman is an awesome thing, and "beautiful" has a lot more to do with WHO she is than what kind of carcass she is attached to.

Dave: "It's like so many censorship issues. if you dont want to see it don't look!"

Ok..so the next time a kid wants to pray out loud in a public school the other kids can just plug their ears. Same difference.

Censorship sucks..but that is not an excuse to go overboard when a bit of lattitude is allowed by moderators, owners,. etc. Censorship happens when, by the actions of a few who go to far, the moderators are FORCED into censoring stuff.

If a poster decides.."Yeah, I could show some CLASS and RESPECT for other people and keep things in perspective.." Well, that ain't censorship..it's called respect for other people.

Off to a biz lunch. Y'all have fun with this.

Mike

Seems to me with the lack of weather and therefore lack of fish, everyone is getting a bit cranky.

Everyone to their respective fishing rooms and come out flogging the water for fish, not each other.

FishnMike

Thanks Dave, now I have a good explanation to tell the wife as the reason for my fascination/obsession with breasts besides being a "Perv". (As she so eloquently puts it)

Unfortunately, this reflects my sentiments exactly ISO...many of the posts on this board the last year or so have the air of a private chat room. JMHO of course.

Thanks for stepping up and posting this Doc. I tend to agree with you and ISO on this topic. I really enjoy the heated discussions about fishing related topics and politics, but the forum has taken such a step in the "erotic" direction that I am no longer comfortable reading it at work, even with the avatars turned off.

Cheers!
SA

I feel the same as SteelAddict and others....

Bingo.

The issue here really isn’t about our rights to display or view certain things but rather about the choices we make and whether we care more about our rights than the people our choices affect.

FNP spoke out of a concern and respect for others. Francis, I commend you. Once again you have shown a pure heart and a love for your board brothers.

Merry Christmas, to one and all.

Interestingly, I just did a search on some member numbers and tried to see how many techniques, tips, reports, hints, or even photos they posted.

After hitting the big ZERO, I gave up.

Those that contribute the least like the biatch the most.

:rolleyes:

I'm a party pooper too.
I can't tell the fith graders in the angler education classes to come to this site. :shrug:

You don't recognize Yvonne Munson Stam?

man i got spoiled with the skull and smoke, finding a new avatar is kinda tough.

the trump argument here is of course that, if you are truly at work....well, you know the rest.

I'll change mine when I find good one.

h20- I have that avatar of yours saved, if you want it back let me know.

What a thread! Sol, you kill me. Personally, I think it's all SundayMoney's fault. It will be interesting to see how all this pans out.

How 'bout a slogan Doc - "No EE's on BB's!"

Ike

The hooters don't bother me but I can understand it being a problem for those who log on at work or have kids/wives that look on.
It seems lately that a small group is dominating the board. The same group that takes over a river for a day by playing bumper boats, launching bottle rockets, and playing their stereos loud. If that's the respect they show for anglers outside their clique on the water I don't expect any better here. So be it. I'll still log on but will spend more time on other sites.

I accept full responsability.


It has gotten a bit out of hand though. I never expected it to become a game of one-upmanship.

Choosing to show or hide your avatars is like putting down the toilet seat after pissing. If you want it down, put it down. I don't expect others to put it up when they are done. I guess it's easier for some to impose their will on others than do the work themselves.

I still fail to see why it's a problem to simply click on the button that says turn off others avatars. Problem solved.

Dave your right.But that would just be to easy than knowone could whine about the avatars.

Sol, your avator is offensive...who say's your a stud? I think that's stretchig the truth a bit....

Crap and all this time I thought it said
Sol Is A Pud

Sol
Just playing

Yes, the Big One is out on the river and I am sure he will figure something out when he gets home.

Obviously, Bob is a boob man so that is probably why he is a bit lax when it comes to this but I think things just get carried to far to see just how far they can be carried.

As a women I have question this many times - Do you want this to become Bob's booby board? What is the point? etc... but as Dave V said you are men and that is what you are obsessed with so I have accepted that

I think SkyGuys old avatar (I think it was his-him driving the sled with the sun in the background) and ElkRun (I think it was his-whoever had the elkhorns with the baby) were my favorite avatars ... oh, and Sol ducking Mingos is referred to in our house as "boob of the month" well by me anyway, but at least it is tasteful and not grotesque.

With all that being said, Bob will probably do what ever causes him the least grief because he is just too busy to deal with complaints.

Whoever flames me gets booted



JUST KIDDING!!!!!

I'm jealous of the man that has touched my avatar in real life.. Sort of like I'm jealous of any dude that has touched a 30+ steelhead.

Keith

Fishgal: Flame, flame, flame. Please boot me! It would save me two hours a day, that I now waste.

As some wise man once said. I spent most of my life fishing. The rest of the time I just wasted.

You're one killer chick, Fishgal.

I hate to put this on Bob's shoulders so I will go back to my last avatar. No biggie. Stam, Sol it a GOOD spud.

Well I would like to hear Doc's response on this one, but in the mean time I would like to reminjd every one especially the na sayers on the hot chicks avatars or posts that what you're seeing is nothing more than a kid is going to see watching commericals on tv, prime time tv, adds in magazines like SI, or billboards like the black velvet one or the dom triplets, or the bud girls, or the coors light commerical with the train, or the twins football commerical. As for the clicks or club thing going on,so the **** what. Are you jealous, are you lonely that you don't have a fishing buddy or a group of dudes to kick it with. And for the whole moral, or class argument give me a figgin break. There are already to many stupid laws and rules out there in this world to have some tide wadded conservative "I have nothing better to do than to find something to ***** about and stir the pot up a bit" guy try to bring up a subject like such. I think maybe somje people are jealous they wern't invited to that snoop rod tourney or something. Just a guess but it seems that usually in life when some one trys to bring you down with comments, or negative unfounded criticisms they have a low self esteem and need to lash out at others to make them selves feel better. If you don't like the avatars of certain people turn them off. And quit *****ing, tis the season to be jolly, not bah humbug. And the by the way, Metallica, Pantera, Maiden, slayer, Tool, Deftones, and many other bands can help a dude get through some hard times. Merry Christmas all even you Doc!!!!

nice shirt.

i changed mine too, but you know, some people could have a problem with it as well....

even though it is clearly the greatest heavy metal photograph of all time.

I'm sure i won't be the last to say that you flat out rock, Corey!

Got to chime in, because I can. I agree with PNP and ISO and the others. As much as I have gotten used to looking forward to the next boob avatar, it has become a contest ( a pleasant one at that), but not necessarily appropriate for a public fishing forum. I actually find myself checking to see if my wife is behind me when on this forum, and that' not what it should be about. I just don't want to have to explain the photo's.

And ISO and PNP have not posted reports, tips etc? Are you serious?

Ok, I have to weigh in here, don't know why, but I am. I thought it "no harm" when sundaymoney started with the bouncing bossoms, and mingo had personal pics that were at least fishing related as well as his own family. When sol showed up with the monster mams, well the size of the avatar made it hard to ignore and really distracts from the post, but they were covered. Now we have stlhdr1 posting, in my opinion, what amounts to psuedo-porn. Not real porn, but close enough. That crossed the line, in my opinion. The "boys will be boys" stuff is an excuse that you would not accept from your own kids, you expect them to use good judgment and know what they do reflects on them and thier entire family and community. The same is true here. The avatars you post reflect on the entire community.
Yes I can turn off the avatars, but that also stops me from seeing kevs football king, fishgals moster, parkers co-ho-ho or that sky guy now has an arima boat pic in his avatar and many other cool things. I even saved an avatar from someone of a boat on the columbia at sunrise and used it for my wall paper for some time. That would definately detract form my enjoyment of the site.
This is a community and I believe all have a right to express thier opinions. I have benefited greatly from many of your posts and hope to keep doing so, but please consider others in the community and how your actions reflect on them and their enjoyment of the site.

Just my opinion and worth just what you paid for it.

AWW Sol, you are a stud ... even in that pink shirt

Sorry Angus. You just don't attract attention like titties do.

There you go, boys, you just heard it from the Queen Bee.

Moderation is the key so it doesn't have to be on or off. Havind said that I liked that UFC or UCF? avatar where is it?

Thanks,
UFK

Parker was probably referring to me.

Fishgal, I need to finish a room in my basement so I'm sure my wife wouldn't mind if you booted me for a month or two.

Doc, you're a man with class.

Dang Sol,I was just getting ready to put that flathead pic up.

I showed my wife this website and the first words she saw was pornography, She failed to see the word fish in front of it. Once she realized that it was fish porn, I was OK. Then she saw some avatars and the back of my head was slapped again.

IBTL!
I married a woman that would be more likely to alert me to a nice pair of 'avatars' than get pissed....been there, done that.
That said, I can see valid 'points'(sorry, couldn't resist)in both sides.
Maybe FishGal is on to something here, another form called Bob's Boobie Board...Hopefully less than the customary $29.99 for 3 months.
Thank, Mingo and Dave Vedder...those are some real chromers but I do surf this site at work(like, now!)and Mrs Mingo could get me a ticket to the HR office.
How about just email them instead?
Can't we all just get along?

No. Not this time, at least.

dum dee dum dum dum and so are the days of our lives,stay tuned!!!PEACE ON EARTH

No Doc you aren't a party pooper. It's just that some people have to take everything to an extreme! I'm with ya on this one.

I agree with fishn. My son keeps looking over my shoulder (he's 11) and a lot of this is not appropriate.
However, I also Just turned off the Avatar button (glad to know I can!)so problem solved in my house.

Sol, the man teats and pink shirt in your avatar are offensive to me and therefore to all.

-t

I to have been slapped on the back of the head followed by, "I thought that was a fishing site!" I said it was but the damage is done. My 8 year old who is an avid fisherboy himself has noticed, so to my displeasure, by by avatars. Until I'm home alone.

i would like to see a canadian tv show- "fishing with courtney and shelly and yavonn"

if anyone has a problem with mine.....pm me and ill change it to somethingn new.......best to all get along over christmas...... and i got my post in under the line

I'm cold, I'm tired and fishing is really slow ... made my day to get a call from Corey on the river regarding this.

Frankly, I think things were going a little overboard ... even though I love boobies and am a true "boob man" (real only please)

It seems as if this is kind of a moot point right now since the majority of the avatars are gone and all seems calm again ... let's please keep it this way.

There's a tasteful middle ground somewhere ... I;m hoping most of you can use your best judgement in that respect.

And for those of you worried at work, you probably ought to turn them off anyhow. Pages will load faster and you can read posts much quicker

Actually Cupo, few of the SRC particpants post a lot on the board In addition, I belive there was one other boat on the river outside of our group anyhow. Frankly, if you look at terminal bratfest as being a serene scene anyhow (in most years), I'm afraid that you're mistaken.

Honestly I see less respect for other anglers from people not particpating. Let's see who we can low-hole the most and run over the top of the fish in the lowest water condtions on record for this time of year.

I gotta tie some leaders now

i have been reading this bb since 2001 and the who has the biggest boobs contest is something that has occured within the past 6 months. it probably wont last much longer so who cares.

Sol,

It's nice to see you took advantage of that diversity training class.

i have to say i have a lot of respect for pnp not commenting on sol,s little outburst. just shows who,s the bigger man......

Welcome home Bob. The family is a little dysfunctional, but we all love each other anyway, I think???

Like Bob said:

They are all tasty. However, please display those that are neither too small nor too big

For the people worried about what their kids or wives might see over your shoulder, what do you do when you're walking down the street and see a woman with a bikini top on?? Cover their eyes right away??

Everything that was used here can be seen walking down any sidewalk in any town in America, or on any channel on tv.

Guess I'm one of the fortunate ones and have a wife that realizes I'm a guy and how guys think.

Looking at work?? Don't you have some work to be doing??

KeenEye....good call...no flame here

If you're looking for that here Mike you might turn blue first.

So Stinker, you must be one of those fellows who drags his family to Hooters because of the 'family atmosphere'.

My favorie joke this month.

If big busted women work at Hooters, where do the one legged women work?

See Below


I HOP

Lupo,
No!No!No! Don't change your avatar! Big sloppy boobies are one thing. Your avatar is in a whole different class.

fishFreak, what leads you to believe this?? I've never been to Hooters and don't plan on going. I just try and raise my family to be a little more accepting and tolerant of others.

Guess I'm a stinker because my wife is secure enough to acknowledge that I'm a guy and I guess I'm a stinker because I choose not to raise my kids under a rock.

Well, there is one thing I have learned on this thread. Dave Vedder really supports boobs.

Dave, thanks for speaking at our PSA meeting last week. I am wondering if next time you might be adding a little more to those slides other then gorgeous fish.

Given the opportunity, real class has a way of always revealing itself.

Thank you gentlemen.... you know who you are.

PEACE ON EARTH AND GOODWILL TO ALL MEN

(BTW that includes you too, Aunty)

Thank you, Doc.

No doubt you are an excellant fisherman but today you have shown yourself to be a great dad. Keep up the good work.

Mahalo

If the big boobs go,I go!This is the only site you can look at big boobs and don't have to worry about those darn porn viruses infecting my computer!!You da man mingo!!:)Doc,I am sure you have a lap top and a private office don't you??You can see the same stuff on any beach at any time or on any channel.

"If the big boobs go,I go!This is the only site you can look at big boobs and don't have to worry about those darn porn viruses infecting my computer!!You da man mingo!!:)Doc,I am sure you have a lap top and a private office don't you??You can see the same stuff on any beach at any time or on any channel."


Now THAT'S funny!!

Thanks a lot for starting this thread, Doc! This is a topic that needed to be discussed.

A fishing board is not the place for guys to work through problems of sexual identity and/or hostility towards women.

Who ever said anything about problems with sexual identity or hostility toward women? I thought this was about whether or not you liked boobies? I for one like boobies. I can relate to the problem in the office for sure, but if they fire me I'll just have more time to spend with the family and fish. Ok this is dumb... please let it rain.

Had to play with this a little

Was watching the "boob tube" last night ... and look what Vixen looks like on the kiddie show!!

roflmao!!

class and respect boys if i want boobs I have my wife,I should not have to ban my boy from viewing this website,HE LOVES TO FISH,and this website gives him alot of pointers,this is about fishing not boobs,nice boobs though,just out of context.

please, we really need rain.

I'm rather impressed that this thread made it to page 4 and never had to be locked.. Wow! =) I've been too busy fishing the past couple of days to even get online!

Bob, I totally saw that and was like, good lord... =) Nice rack on that deer! Goes to show that hollywood knows nothing about wildlife... Antlers?! Anyway.. Hope mine classifies with most of you as being "safe" =)

not usually one to defend hollywood but, both sexes of reindeer, like caribou, have antlers.

Neither caribou nor reindeer (regardless of sex)however have a rack as nice as Mingo's wife.

Haha.. Good call H20... And wow, I honestly can say I didn't know that!! Guess you gotta look between the legs before ya shoot em... LOL

TBird, Its that pic of you that needs to go!!!

Nothing personal, Doc. I still like you. I just get testy when people mess with boobs. Bottom line: This is a fishing board and avatars should probably reflect that.

In my defence I'll just say I grew up as a kid in Missouri with some of the most up-tight mid-western right-wing conservative religous zelots know to mankind, my family included, so my tolerance level for that sort of thing is low.

Excuse me!! Must have been a good weekend Sol, I like the 180. It's about time you came around.

Sol,

Uptight midwest, eh? Now I think I understand the depth of your depravity. Have a nice Christmas!

Sincerely,

Salmo g.

With the rain, I believe the steelies will be in this week, till then heres more boobies.

PLEASE DON'T CLICK THE LINK IF EASILY OFFENDED! or at work and fear the boss, have kids, wife looking over your shoulder, but do click the link if you enjoy Jeeps and are in the market for a new one, this might help you deceide.

Jeep has no problems.

Haha.. Thanks! I'm just too proud of that one to get rid of it yet... :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I ment your ugly face .

I'm with ya on this one FishHead5! Ditch the dude and keep the hot chick!

While I visit to view fish stories and such, it has turned into a.......who has the biggest pair of lungs avitar. Whether you can turn it off or not, it is degrading and disrespectful of women. Never the less, they are nice racks.
I just can't figure out which ones are the real boobs, the wimp behind the avitar or the woman's.

There isn't anything more attractive to us guys than the charms of a well-endowded woman. I guess I'm no different. As FNP stated, the avatars have recently gotten a bit more, well, noticable. That's not why I frequent this BB but I figure that's why there are moderators. If the avs get too racy, Bob or Fishgal or whoever will take the appropriate action. Or I could just turn them off.

But we should all do our part to keep this place clean. Tasteful, decrete, and respectful pics may be okay. But if you want to see graphic images of female anatomy, there are other places to go for that. We've all been there.....

But I have to admit, the pics of scantly clad gals holding up dead fish has me puzzled. I know that us guys like both the pretty gals and nice fish, but putting those two together just doesn't make sense to me. Am I the only one who doesn't get it?

Since your a friend of Nick's, I'll let that one slide. Next one's gonna cost ya.

Sol, do you know "my good buddy nick" ?? Remind me some time to tell you the story.

Ohh boy.. "My good buddy Nick" story again.

Harbor-Hog

Why go to other places when Bob's site is virus and spyware free? =) hah..

Fishhead: Isn't the amazing part of the equation that I was able to land such a catch as my av? =) Haha.. That is the question =) (Still puzzled myself...)

You win Doc. At least you posted this here for open discussion. I respect that.

But to the gutless punk who chose to take the lynch mob mentality a step further and hide behind an e-mail...tossing out insults about my wife and family is very cowardly. If you want to say things like that, at least be a man and say them to my face. I would never say things like that about your family, nor say them to anyone here or anywhere else, no matter what I thought of your avatar pic, your viewpoint on fishing or your political views. You don't even know me.... but you sure jump in and assume a lot from a picture.

If you ever really want to debate me, give me 5 seconds advance notice. That way I can check my brain at the door and we'll start out even.

If you are truly a representative of "Tolerant, loving Christians" then you have only reinforced that I made the right choice years ago. Intelligent people see the fun behind the pic. And no, they are not meant to exploit. They are meant to be fun. But of course, fun to you is everyone following your way of thought blindly.

Please try to "save" someone else. I'm going fishing.
:rolleyes:

Mingo,

I'm sure Doc speaks for himself but I just don't think he meant through this discussion to see you, your wife or your family be disparaged in any way. I seemed to me that this thread came up out of concern for his family and others. For the very same reason I would certainly commend you for standing up for your wife and family now. It's really not about avatars or boobs as much as it is about how we treat each other. So with those that will join me, I offer apologizes for the way you have been wrongfully treated. Regards to the missus too.

I like those pictures of the pope. I like how his white contrasts with the darker color of that military guy behind him.

Mooch in my eyes it looks like the person emailed him and said that stuff. Man you guys really need some rain. Me I am just waiting for the dam ICE !!!!!!!!!

Thanks Mooch. Most people on here are totally awesome......Doc certainly never said anything bad about my wife. He stated his feelings openly and honestly.....that's what the BB is for.

It was a gutless coward who tossed out insults while hiding behind an anonymous e-mail. A classless, self-righteous jerk.

Mingo; I'm confused. Who ya talking about. Did someone delete a post.

Dave,

Mingo got an e-mail.

This thread is getting better every day...I try to just check it once so that I can get the full impact of several new posts, rather than one at a time every few hours...man, I need to go fishing.

Oh, that's right...I'm leaving in three hours to do just that!

I just hope the floods hold off long enough to put a few fish in the box!

Dave, let's do squid on Thursday...I'll be too beat tomorrow evening, after rowing around all day in a rising river.

Fish on...

Todd

Mingo...there was nothing wrong with your old avatar, or your family, wife, whatever. I liked it. I thought it was awesome.

Hey Mingo I am affended with your new avatar I dont think we should incorporate religion with fishing.....................

I like boobs (and fish too

Well, I'm just a little embarrased that I put in the picture of my 'fishing buddy' Sammy in an early post in this discussion, but I still can't resist, and have changed my avatar to one which has a BIG BUTT in it!

..well,that's embarrasing. I didn't "update" my new profile, so now my previous post suggests that I am a big butt! I AM a little larger than most, but (hopefully) this post will have the BUTT avatar I was hoping for.

tbone's avatar is okay because she's really a nun on vacation.

Well Mingo, I have no idea who emailed you, or who would for that matter. I, for one, am a tolerant and loving christian. As for the avitar and signature of Mrs. Mingo, I truely tolerated and loved it!! You are very understandably proud, and should be - don't let some whacko who hides behind a veil bust your chops. After all, imagine what he might have to go home to every night! *shudder*.
