I love the humour here on the wall, but it seems to me things have gotten a bit dull lately, Frisky seems to have gone back into hibernation.

I'm sure we all have preconceived ideas as to what people look like before we Meet them. So it was with me last summer on a trip out to western Canada and meeting up with leatherwallers Cdave and Rooty...

When first I saw Dave it was obvious to me that he is a direct link to our ancient ancestors. Beware of any dieting advice from Dave. He has a love of old bows, scotch whiskey, and younger women. Dave claims to be an interpretor for his friend Rooty.

Rooty could pass for a brother to Dave. If he seems a bit grumpy here at times it could be due to the late stages of male menapause.. It is alleged by Dave that Rooty is a maker of fine strings..I Don't know..he would'nt make me any. He favours heavy bows, and I can attest to him being deadly at 10ft.

Well then CDave and Rooty are my kind of LeatherWallers..

Would that be a 'rump or shoulder " roast? There, I bit! Lance.

I am hoping that others here will do a bit of good natured ribbing along these lines. I think with winter hanging on by the fingernails and spring not here yet we could all use a chuckle. It is said that we should laugh with others and never at them. But beck.. don't let that stop you. Sandy.

Frisky hasn't gone into Hibernation he's probably hooked up with Cat lady? Come on first he mentions her then he deny's her that sure sounds like a typical lover deal to me. LOL

Either that or he's fast on the nip. LOL

Or that lame deer he dispatched was tainted and he has hoof and mouth disease and he's healing up from Cat lady potions?

Or could be searching high and low for a better bow than what he thinks are grails?

Just speculation of course though. LOL

Shut up Sandy. What do you know anyway? )))

If he likes good Scotch Whisky he cant be a bad guy at all.

Bad guys ..no not at all ..great guys..I loved meeting them. Sandy

Codjigger..as he sees himself. A handsome semi competent senior archer. A perfect 42 tall. Amateur philosopher..dispenser of cheap advice..any subject..sexual problems.. a favourite. Retired fireman who still finds himself in heat at times..though not as often :-)

Not going to say anything here, just post a picture.

SOUNDS LIKE YOUR A WARLOCK! DO WE NEED TO BURN YOUR THREADS? LOL

Darn Jeffer, that was a direct hit! LOL

When I was a young feller, an wise old fellow once said to me..."when I was a young man I thought I knew everything, but when I became old I found it to be completely opposite to what I now beleive, there is only one thing in this world I now know to be true and certain. " now he had my full attention, " What is that?" I asked. "I'm 100% Sure there is pork all around a pigs arse". He replied. Love that kind ofhumour. Sandy

You would have loved my dad and my father-in-law. Both could come up with some great stuff to make you laugh till you darn near cried. My father-in-law, Buck, would say, "I sit on a boxcar, my feed drug on the ground. Longfellow." Or. "There was a young girl named Van Vorem, she bought pair of pants and she wore em. She stooped and she laughed, and she felt a bid draft, and she knew dang well that she tore em."

LOL...

Frankly, I'm alarmed by all these Canadians we have posting lately...I think it's time we put the WALL back in Leatherwall, and limit the nonsense dribbling across the border from these 'Maple Saps'.

I mean look at these guys--Pdiddly obsessing over Howatt trivia until 3 AM each night; Jeffer dreaming up the archery equivalents of mini-golf shots through the clown's mouth and spinning windmill; and Dave and Rooty just plain off on their own planet. My thinking is that, like most Canadians, they've all had too much Molson's, listened to too much Anne Murray and Gordon Lightfoot, and suffered through too many of those 8-month winters. We all know that any one of those ingredients would rot a man's mind; taken together, the results are hardly imaginable.

Mr. Trump--we need a second wall!

How about the new Canadian archery book, "Wind on the back of my neck" by I. Ben Busted? The alternative title is "Canadian Cuddles" an informative guide to French Curve fletching techniques in the Far North. :>)

I hunted near Gordon Lightfoots home town. Can't remember the name, might have been Orilla Ont. or something like that. Anyway why in Canada, are French fries served with gravy on them?

MP

I might even propose dropping the boundary line down to Austin, Minnesota--Frisky would make a fine Canadian.

Funny stuff eh

Aaahh.. you guys have been ticked off at us every since we won the war of 1812. Sandy.

What was your rank in that one Sandy? :>)

he did not get to serve too young for the one I 1776 and too old for 1812 bummer

Well as I remember, we kicked the British butts in the war of 1812. "Well they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles, and they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go." Battle of New Orleans, Johnny Horton.

What happened to the white house George? I think both sides claimed victory in that one.

"They ran so fast that the bounds couldn't catch them, down tbe Mississippi to the gulf of Mexico" a mere tempory setback.. More of a Johnny Cash fan myself. Sandy

Jamie, you lose some battles even when you win a war. The country stayed independent.

I like Johnny Cash too Sandy, but I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Buddy Holly person starting in 1957. 8^)

I was there George..Buddy Holly, Richy Valens, the Big Bopper.Memory fails me for the fourth one. Not having electricity the family radio sat on a big battery pack to be used only for the news and forecast and the Queens message at Christmas. Of course Dad wasn't around all the time.:-). I'm sure you remember.. the day the music died :-( Sandy

Why do Canadians say "Oot" and "Aboot"? Like in I will go oot in aboot an hour.

Sandy,

So sorry--if I had only known that my entry would sidetrack your original posting and turn your thread into a bombastic, nationalistic attack on Canadians...I probably would have posted half an hour sooner, and named a few more strange Canadians as well.

Please accept my apologies. I'll do my best to turn this back into the string of insults and mockery aimed at deserving individuals that you originally envisioned.

George America declared war on the British so the fact that The US stayed independent is irrelevant. We did however block the US from taking over all of North America and following its "manifest destiny"

I know, nothing! That's not exactly true..I know that some of the most knowledgeable fellas on LW are more than willing to poke fun at themselves. GWS, I wish I had a nickel for every time I listened to Johnny Horton on the clock radio before I got outta bed in the 1960's.

I beleive we (the U.S.) won in 1776 and it was a draw in 1812, although I understand you Canadians see the War of 1812 differently than we do. I think George was conceding the War of 1812 to Canada.

Even though I consider myself young, I grew up listening to Johnny Horton (thanks to my dad) and love his songs.

Back to the reason for this thread! "There once was an Archer from Nantucket..."

One of my favorite Winston Churchill quotes during WWII: "If you need to take a town send in the Canadians. If you need to hold a town send in the Brithish. If you need to hold a parade send in the Americans ."

Love it Rob!!

And since it's Ron LC's birthday today (see related thread), we should give him a shout-out for becoming a champion shooter, despite the adversity of being born left-handed.

Good chuckle, Rob. Churchill sure had a way with words. No problem crookedstix. Lets do it. I had hoped this would bring up some funny good natured ribbing..a la the Frisky chronicles. .please note that I started with two Canadian..ample..sized ..:-)targets. I didn't mean to start a cross border skirmish ..my fault, bringing up the 1812 thing. True Mangoboat we should always be ready to laugh at ourselves;. a good virtue, I think. We used to say.."if you are going to throw snowballs, you should always be ready to catch a few" ..whatever that means. As you were... Sandy

To you Johnny Horton listeners: Listen to the original version by Jimmy Driftwood. It is on youtube. It is called the Eighth of January. bvd

This archer roasts here...

Anyone need to roast a cat? They can be gotten from Joe and I bet if you pay for them Frisky just might sneak them out of Catladys house for you.

Beats boxing up and sending to NY to the Asian market.
