1.) Swamp Fox - 08/25/2015
Each team in the contest will get a name to go with their number. It's just a matter of whether it's a name of your choosing or mine. :wink


[B]Team 86[/B] has been working hard on their name, and working Luv2 over at the same time, which seems like a brilliant and extremely efficient use of time and energy, which you might expect from two former military guys. Poor Luv2, LOL. God Bless America.

Looks like Team 2 is going with [B]Dentists on Safari[/B] by executive decree. I hope you all enjoy the topical reference and hipster/ironic punk/new wave band tone, and will follow us on Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat. Your mom's on Woo Woo, so we are so over that...

Team 5 might wind up as [B]Wild Bob and the Lonesome Prairie [/B]unless his teammates step up their game.

To the rest of you, I remind you of the immortal words of Bluto Blutarski and ask, "What's all this lying around $#!+?!" which today I decided not to spell out in real letters for some reason...

I may have some time to think about team names this week, so let that be a warning. Also, let me invite non-contestants to suggest team names. I hope to have this all settled by Sept. 1, so put that in your pipes and smoke it.

:grin:

:wave:

You have way too much free time.


I'm not officially on any team btw. I do my own thing, which is mostly, get in tree, hang up bow, wait......................................., pick up bow, climb down.

....repeat as necessary.
3.) Swamp Fox - 08/25/2015
I just realized I didn't put this in Podunk as I intended, but like Camelot, this is obviously a Podunk-friendly place...:ach:

Thank you, thank you very much.

I try to use it for good, as well as for evil...I'm not into limiting myself that way...
5.) luv2bowhunt - 08/25/2015
Why don't you use your time and skills to create the 'Spider Web Detector' I asked for a couple years ago?

Walked 3 1/2 miles on Sunday doing a little terrain scouting, spent a ton of my time going "ahhhh man.......not again...." (hands flailing around face, pulling at invisible fibers). Got to be a way to scan for those before it's too late. Meadow spiders creep me out anyway, let alone hanging from the bill of my cap, 2 inches from my eyes.

6.) Swamp Fox - 08/25/2015
[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switch_(corporal_punishment)[/url]


Also can be used for spider detection when not deployed otherwise....Let me know if you need any tips on how to operate it, LOL...
7.) Swamp Fox - 08/25/2015
If anyone knows how to edit a Wiki page, let me know and I'll put something on there about how sheep's bladders....I mean switches can be used for spider detection/prevention...:grin:
8.) luv2bowhunt - 08/25/2015
It's the ones you can't see I'm worried about. Besides, this time of year, I'm looking for timber rattlers mostly. These young guys that are always looking for an adrenaline rush should climb over our rock covered hills in August.

Nothing like having an unseen rattler start buzzing 6" from your foot to get the adrenal glands pumping. Even more when it happens simultaneously with the web you just hit and there's a spider crawling over your left ear.
9.) Swamp Fox - 08/25/2015
Some years spiders are everywhere and other years I hardly notice them. This is a spider year here.

Seriously, waving a switch in front of you as you walk is a lot easier than peeling spider webs off your face. A long walking stick doubles as a snake detector.


10.) Swamp Fox - 08/25/2015
If things don't pick up around here, I may have to post excerpts or possibly even a whole reprint of something I wrote recently about the Natural Hazards of Camp Swampy...and no, I'm not talking about the smells....


But I thought it was pretty funny/semi-entertaining anyway....LOL
11.) Wild Bob - 08/25/2015
I have another sugestion for the Team 2's name: 'Swampy and the Pussy Cats' :-)
12.) Deerminator - 08/25/2015
If I could look up the thread with the teams in it?

always a search.
13.) Swamp Fox - 08/25/2015
Sorry...meant to post a separate thread and forgot. Will do.

Meantime, Post 143, page 15 here:

I also thought last year's "Billy and the Bucketheads" had a nice rockabilly band-type ring to it...:-)

Team 1 will officially be 'Transitional Archers'.
25.) Swamp Fox - 08/26/2015
:-)....
26.) bluecat - 08/26/2015
Is that offensive? I thought about 'Transitional carbon-based life forms'. But there might be other life forms on other planets that are upset.


There's always Transitional Archery. I hear it's a new trend and transitionals are discovering the "older" ways of their elders/carbon-based life forms.
27.) Swamp Fox - 08/26/2015
LOL....

I heard a report of somebody getting outraged on Twitter over something so ridiculous I can't even remember what it was two days later. It wasn't just that they were offended by something they shouldn't been offended by, it was that they had their head so far up their butt they didn't even know what they were looking at. It was so monumentally stupid I couldn't even find it funny, which is maybe why I have forgotten it already. But there are some real morons out there.

I'd better go for a short walk to calm down now, LOL.

If I think of it I'll let you know.

For the record, it was in reference to your BO and not your hunting skills :-)

Was it the POW flag? That's one I heard recently.
30.) Swamp Fox - 08/26/2015
No, I saw that a couple of weeks ago. This was about race or gender (although the flag thing was somewhat about race as well.) It wasn't about the sign on the bathroom door being racist either. That one came up one or two days ago...Somebody thinks a white silhouette (representing Men's Room) is discriminatory...I'm serious.

The one I'm thinking of involved something even worse than that. Maybe something about a movie? I'll probably figure it out, now that I'm thinking about it...unfortunately. :tap:

Thugs? That's a racist term now I guess.

Ohio; Well, as long as it wasn't your own pee, your cool. :-)

I don't think I'll be able to look at you guys the same. I guess it could be group related. Not really my thing but you boys have at it.

OOOKKKK. Not quite what I was referring to with the name (I was thinking more in line with TR / 1898 war), but I guess all is fair game. :bang:

:laugh:
39.) Wild Bob - 08/27/2015
So, does this mean that in any kill pictures 'The Rough Riders' post we should plant one of these things in the picture and then you can try to find it...kind of like a 'Where's Waldo?' exercise????
40.) bluecat - 08/27/2015
What you do with those things is up to you. What happens in the duck blind stays in the duck blind.
41.) bluecat - 08/27/2015
Just understand if you take a picture of yourself wearing one, most applications can only zoom to 400%.
42.) Wild Bob - 08/27/2015
No, no, no, no...I didn't say I'd be wearing one; I just said it [I]would be somewhere [/I]in the picture for you to find it.

:-)
43.) Swamp Fox - 08/28/2015
LOL...Hiding it in the picture is a great idea...:grin:


That's what we need around here...More great ideas...:wink


Looking forward to playing....Now, where's my magnifying glass?

45.) Albertabowhunter - 09/03/2015
hey guys.... too late to get in on the contest?
46.) Swamp Fox - 09/03/2015
Not really...The deadline has usually been Aug. 14 to catch the SC and Ca. openers but we are taking "latecomers" until Sept. 30, with caveats. (See the rules at the top of the sign-up thread). I have one other guy to put on a team with you (if he comes back)...We need one more to round out a full squad.

Let's see what you/we can do to recruit another player...Stay tuned...

:tu::wave:
47.) Forkie McRut - 09/03/2015
Go Team Colon Cologne!
48.) luv2bowhunt - 09/03/2015
I have a great idea. Albertabowkiller can take my place on Team 86. I never entered the contest anyway, and the rest of the team can break out the party hats and noise makers.
49.) Swamp Fox - 09/03/2015
Um...no.
