Who Was In the 38LX Fountain at the GTH on 4/25

General Fishing Discussion
201

An insult to the world…what the heck happened to personal choice and responsibility? Some people like a fast boat. Some don’t, so what? Boats come in different shapes, sizes, finishes, prices, layout, colors, materials, performance parameters, etc. Why? The buying public has a wide assortment of demands. That’s a good thing!

BTW - who was driving the boat, Fountain Corporation or some nimrod? What’s next? Would you suggest Browning kills people with guns instead of criminals? Is GM to blame when somebody drives a Corvette too fast? I guess we should blame Budweiser the next time somebody drinks too many beers. Give me a break…

Unfortunately I am not laughing now…

DON’T TREAD ON ME…

ALSO, PLEASE DO NOT RUN OVER ME WITH YOUR SPEED BOAT

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME…

I DON’T LIKE THE GOVERNMENT GETTING INVOLVED IN MORE BOATING LEGISLATION…

I DON’T LIKE IT WHEN AN INEXPERIENCED PERSON GETS BEHIND THE WHEEL OF A BIG FAST BOAT…

I DON’T LIKE CARS WITH LOUD STEREOS…

I DON’T LIKE PINFISH EATING THE LEGS OFF A LIVE SHRIMP…

LIFE’S A BIOTCH…
THEN YOU GET RUN OVER BY A SPEED BOAT…
OK, IT’S OVER. YOU CAN GO HOME NOW. THANKS FOR COMING…

My boat’s bigger than your boat

203

Tireless, you know me. I don’t blame Winchester when a deer hunter shoots a fellow hunter in the woods. I blame the numbnut that bought it.

And I would laugh my arse off if I showed up for a duckhunt and a couple of cheeseballs pulled their m-16 out of cases thinking they had a great duck hunting guns…

see the analogy?

i WISH THIS TOPIC WOULD GO AWAY!

THE LOGGA

205

Logga, close your eyes and click your heals three times…

Oh, excuse me, I meant “the Logga”…sorry

I have been hearing rumors lately.:imp::imp::imp::imp: I don’t know if they are true or not, but I find them fascinating!!! Some years ago when Midgie, Soup, and Somethin-fishy were young studs out trolling for the ladies, they encountered 3 extremely fine young chicks on a shiny new Fountain. The 3 chickies using their wildly ways as women and their fast “sexy” Fountain lured the unsuspecting men into their boat. After a few minutes of flirting the gals began to bait the egos of the young studs. Wanting desperately to prove their manliness to the chickies, the 3 studs took the bait. The chickies challenged the guys to for a pyramid while water skiing behind the “sexy” Fountain. Well, at first things were going well. All three handsome buff studs immediately go up on top of the water. In mean moments they had formed a pyramid. All seemed to be going well as the ladies smiled and whistled at the young fellows. Then with no warning whatsoever, those little chickies headed out of the ICW and into the open ocean. The young studs were concerned, but still wishing to prove just how studly they were, help on for dear life!!! They waves were a bit rough on the boys. It was like skiing the moguls on water. The girls were laughing and enjoying a smooth ride on the “sexy” Fountain. The boys were making a good show of it all until the girls hit the throttle again and knocked the guys down. They hand been holding on so tightly that their hands had cramped up and they couldn’t let go. With the skies acting like planner rigs, down under they went. Now the chickies were the ones trolling with the studs for bait. Now as if it couldn’t get much worse, a couple of sharks picked up their scent and began toying with them. After a snap or two, one of the sharks gingerly nipped through the ski rope freeing the boys from their high speed trolling experience. Quickly they swam to the surface where they were rescued by some of those obnoxious jet skiers. The whole way back to shore, the jet skiers really mocked and

no, no, no! i’m weigh too smart to fall for something like that. it was that crackerdude, midgie, smelly fishy. i was on the bertram having cool ones with topless ones. i may not like fountains–although pyramids sound kinda good–but i taint dumb.

208

That pendant link just about made me fall out of my chair. Thanks for the laugh. I bet that is Fountain’s top-selling model.

209

Soup, I am overdegreed and overeducated. I’d never fall for that one.

Actually, I looked at how long it was and decided I’d better get back to work. I got ADD…

Ya you know me…

My boat’s bigger than your boat

210

cac–don’t you mean overweight, overlooked, and overcome?

even thugh i don’t have ADD i do have something else to do.

chow

211

I am actually, very manly. 6’3" 225… mainly muscle, not fat here. Picture me as a Greek God…if you will. When I get settled on JI, Kyle and I are gonna hit the Golds Gym twice a day. I am just months away from sculpting a body that will make me the human form of a Fountain…

Fountains are no good unless they sprew continuously. Are you saying that you’re Ole Faithful—at least, that’s the offshore rumor is.

213

Not real sure what you mean by “sprew”, but I’m sure that it is interesting.

Just realized that the pendant doesn’t come with the chain. You know, like “batteries sold separately”. For those of you who have ordered one and didn’t see the fine print, don’t worry, just call Ron-ney. Ron-ney is the one with the chains.

What a rip off!!! That is total Fountain tactics.

I tried to call Ron-ney Fountain about this, but they said he was out today because they were spraying his office for ticks.

What a sham!!

Oh, I forgot to put this link on. They have another pendant that is more masculine than the other one that I listed. The first one was for your gal or guys that are in touch with their feminine side. http://www.fountainpower.com/merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=FS&Product_Code=549&Category_Code=A I really don’t recommend men getting in touch with their feminine side. I dated a guy once who was and it was a bad experience. I think that only one of us needed to act like a girl. It did not inspire any feelings of confidence and security on my part. He was also afraid of fish hooks and I had to tie his hooks on for him. That really should a have been a clue!!! We were freshwater fishing for little pan fish with little hooks. He kept whinning that he might get a hook stuck in his finger. It wasn’t like I was swinging a gaff at him! or asking him to juggle a bunch of curved Arabian swords!!!

Like the chain in the first pendant listed, this girl doesn’t come with the towel, but I think the ribbon to tie the towel in a nice square comes with it. All for only $99.00 plus shipping. And I thought I was guilty of occasionally marking things up too much!! I am marketing to the wrong people!!! I am learning!! http://www.fountainpower.com/merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=FS&Product_Code=545&Category_Code=A

FishOutWater:sunglasses::sunglasses::sunglasses:

Sorry it took me so long to respond to this one. But what a great question.

Who is midgiemullet?

Well my dear I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I translate ethnic slurs for Cuban refugees, I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently. Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row.

I woo women with my sensuous and godlike trombone playing, I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty-Minute Brownies in twenty minutes. I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru.

Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants. I play bluegrass cello, I was scouted by the Mets, I am the subject of numerous documentaries. When I’m bored, I build large suspension bridges in my yard. I enjoy urban hang gliding. On Wednesdays, after school, I repair electrical appliances free of charge.

I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie. Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear. I don’t perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. I have been caller number nine and have won the weekend passes. Last summer, I toured New Jersey with a travelling centrifugal-force demonstration. I bat .400. My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany circles. Children trust me.

I can hurl

My Dearest MiggieMullet,
I am so glad you replied. I was beginning to think I had hurt your feeling and that you were gone from my message board forever. That is quite a description of yourself that you posted! LOL

Since you listed yourself as an abstract artist and said you haven’t seen a picture of me, let me paint one for you! As for my size, I am much larger a than a nice bait sized mullet and put up much more of a fight. However, I am much smaller than that baby whale that got hung up in those fishing nets a couple of weeks ago and don’t have that much fight and strength in me. My appearance, I would like to think is evenly spaced between that of a Greek goddess and a troll. I would neither make you so distracted that you would crash you Fountain into a tree like that guy out at Hartwell a few weeks ago, nor do small children run screaming to their mothers on the beach when they see me. Well, at least I don’t think so. There was this one incident where I wondered it that might be true and was a cause for a bit on concern on my part, but it turned out the kid got stung by a jelly fish. Whew!! What a relief. It is rumored that one time I really beat up a guy with my fishing rod and a rep from Shakespeare witnessed the whole thing and named the Ugly Stick after my actions upon that well deserving fellow. I will neither confirm nor deny, but I do cash the royalty checks!!! LOL I do not think a woman of my proportions or a woman or man of any proportions should wear spandex. I just think it is WRONG. Some lines should not be crossed, and spandex is one of them.

I looked on the photo page you listed with your picture. I was really worried at first when I saw what I thought was your boat wrapped around that buoy like a pretzel! Just proof that boats of all shapes, sizes, and price points can be driven by morons. Glad to see your listing was farther down the page. By the way, I don’t think all men or morons, just the select few that I have dated. That is a whole different thread!! A

218

It sounds like a date. And, Fish, you will be glad to know that Midgie trolls a horse ballyhoo and that he is one of the select few with enough ability to catch the elusive sunfish. You two sound like quite a team - and I would venture to guess that you don’t leave the house without all your baits out and your lines in the water.

219

:smiley: i personally dont believe the mullet, nobody repairs appliances free of charge.:wink:
after all he has a really bad hair do named after him :stuck_out_tongue:

SANITY MAINTENANCE II

courtesy gentlemen courtesy!

2-3 and 9 seconds apart, YEAH RIGHT!!!

Just got back last night. Kids had a great time in Fl. DANG! 220 posts and over 6300 reads! Let’s go for 500/10000.

Fishoutawater, thanks for your interest. Please be aware–We don’t specialize in Fountains–we specialize in MARINE INSURANCE of ALL types–all types of boats, yachts, commercial vessels, charter boats, ski boats, creek boats, sailboats, passenger ships, headboats, tugboats, oil tankers, bassboats, everything, and yes Midgie, jet skis too (but I don’t own one). We also specialize in writing boat dealerships, boat manufacturers, marinas, docks, and marine-related businesses, like mechanics, and boat repair, etc.

As I mentioned earlier–our “Special” program for Fountains, meant “Special” versus competing policies, not versus other lines of boats or other customers. We have a program for Fountain-type boats that has rates and coverages that are special, because we specially designed them with the knowledge of the other policy products and rates out there. We offer SPECIAL rates and coverages to evey kind of boat–It’s our SPECIALTY.:smiley:

Per your request, Fish, other things to consider are:

(1) Replacement Cost/Agreed Value/ACV (listed from best to worst)

Read the details on what portions are covered by which type of coverage. Some companies’ policies will cover certain parts of the boat as replacement cost or agreed value, and cover other parts as ACV (or vice versa). Worse than that, some policies will say that they have a replacement cost endorsement option included, but the ultra-fine print at the bottom of the quote says that the replacement cost coverage only applies to PARTIAL LOSSOS (WHAT A FARCE!!). I recently saw that on a policy from one of the big homeowner’s companies (I don’t want to mention their name publically–that would be impolite). I think I covered the definitions in an earlier post.

(2) Fishing Equipment Coverage.

Don’t assume that it’s included in personal property–it often is NOT. We recently paid a $5000 claim on some fishing tackle. The c
