BYOB

[Mel]

Reflecting on all the money I have to send the IRS has caused me to plan my next birthday gift. I will call it Buy Your Own Birthday.

I'm going to send Rob min 1500.00USD and say spend it all and surprise me. Sounds great don't it?

Not a bad idea there Mel...how bout throwin' a coupla extra hundo's in the pot for yer ol' buddy CIGARHead.:cool:

[Wiley]

Yeah, it does.

Since you missed my birthday, why don't you just pop in another check for me while you're at it?

I still have some nice Thank You cards left over and I'd be happy to send you one! :-P

[Mel]

Dear CIGARhead and Wiley, if you two can make me invisible to the IRS I'll do a G each for ya'll. I jusgt think it would be cool to have Rob do the shopping for me one time. He has never sent me any bad ****,except that box of plugged Mag 46 that was really Kens. Actually I ask him to recomend a cigar for purchase and I ussually follow through.

[Loki]

Mel doesn't sound like a bad idea at all. One thing though, I would make it a combined effort between Lisa and Rob.;-)

LOL. Would that really surprise us mate? Like that show pony would know how to use it. I'd just blow on the horn to Lisa and she'd have his old fella up for auction,like there would be any takers, and I'll have my money back.

mel, be fair to rob. there is no one that can tangle a line like him. and i don't think lisa would touch his old fella. not even for you.

[connoiseur29]

we'll just have to follow your lead.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA

My first thought is that he spends it all on himself. That would surprise the HELL out of you wouldn't it?

oh, and happy birthday. Pretty cool idea.

To Rob I bet it sounds bloody fabulous :-D

[El Presidente]

Some are born to responsibility.....others have it thrust upon them.

It will be an honour to bare this burden :cool:

Happy Birthday Mel, Turning 55?

As for you Ken, I hope you do come to Florida Keys next year so that you can demonstrate in front of Mel and the lads....your fly casting technique.

Oh....the sound of silence

Rob has been looking to liquidate his Piedra inventory. . .

600 Piedra Petit Cetros en route.

SURPRISE!!!

[harwellplant]

it will be like my fraternity brother back in undergrad who, when i gave him a 10 to pick me up a case of coors while he was going to the store, came back instead with two cases of pabst blue ribbon and commented that, sure, 10 would have gotten ME a case of coors, but it got US BOTH a case of pbr.

nice logic.

That's it , show down at the OK coral(FL keys) everybody show up next summer and this debate wil be over. Rob don't forget to bring that new rod I'm buying you. No body was ever meant to touch the old fella, just sell the thing to the first bidder, cut it off and kick it down the road.

Birthday is in Oct and I'll be 47, thank you.

rob has failed to mention that we held a casting comp in the grounds of the national on the visit. he refused to enter for fear of being shown up. as for the winner, well modesty forbids, though the only other entrant was blind macho.
