Patty's camp-o-rama and primitive skills weekend And Birthday Bash

[koan]

OUCH!!!!!

[Calendargirl]

Naaaah, Koan, they are just blowin' steam... trying to buy time while they see if they can find their arrows.   I think we can attach one of those beeping things like Sharper Image sells for keys to Dana's arrows.    Or the like the "clapper"  just clap your hands and you can find your arrows .  Then, Dana, show me which bush to field dress.    Notice how kind Pat is, no biting comments?   Suthun' gentleman that he is, plus I  have his respect and admiration and I ain't givin it back!

[DanaM]

Marie I just shot a great big trophy POISON IVY bush still wanna demonstrate While yer cleaning it maybe you can
get my arra back fer me.

I like the clapper idea Marie it would save on lost arra's fer sure, think ya might want to patent that idear.

Holy wuh eh guess I'm  just a hick Yooper with no manners. Marie do ya know what a Yooper is?

[Calendargirl]

a "hick Yooper"  webster says it is the "anti-suthun' gentleman"   Is that right?

[Calendargirl]

After great thought, I realized that "beeping" isn't very primitive 
so how 'bout ,Dana, you "clap" once and then your arrow responds with a caveman like "ugh!"  or if you want to be fancy  and scare off any game (if there is any left) it can say "ooga booga!"    
Dana, you would have your own tribal dance going just looking for all your arrows! "clap" "ooga! booga!" "clap" "ooga! booga!" (of course the "ooga booga" noise is a chorus of arrows)   

[mullet]

  Heck,I could probally get a deer on the way with the "killer Jeep".

[DanaM]

Nope not anti southern not at all. Ya never know I might retire down thar.
I like the "UGH Me a Yooper"

You do a pretty good job of keeping our egos in line Marie, I guess everyone has a mission in life eh.

[Calendargirl]

I am not opposed to gutting road kill...as long as you boys will eat it!   "clap" "ooga booga" 
Dana, it is the oddest thing, but you aren't the first person to tell me that        It is a very hard job, but somebody has to do it!

You should move down here...Koan thinks it could be heaven and Pappy and Greg know that it is!   Justin even drove, I dont' know how many hours just to spend a weekend here!
so what is  Yooper?

[DanaM]

Marie a Yooper is some one who lives above the bridge in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan(UP). Michigan is divided by a 5 mile suspension bridge us that live above it are Yoopers
those that live under the bridge are Trolls Were a mixed bunch of nationalities up here but very proud of our heritage. The largest town up here is about 40, 000
with many if ya blink ya missed um towns. I think we may be more hillbilly then many of you southern folks. as to road kill I've stopped and picked it up and yes ate it why
waste good meat eh. From here to Nashville is 853 miles according to Google, not to bad I'm hoping to make the Classic at Pappy's next year ifin I come I will bring ya bottle of Yooper wine ok. And I'm sure its tough keeping us all in line but ya luv it dont ya?

[Calendargirl]

Sarah and I get paid to keep you all in line!    Never enough but paid non-the-less.   Feel free to send the Editor comments about how fabulous we are!  No comments "NON" if you are reading this!  .  ToJam, eh I mean the Tenn. Classic is a blast!    Patty's camp-o-rama-birthday-fest-primitive-skill-fest willl be fun as well.  Esp. since Pat will be gracing you all with his RiPVanWinkle presence...sounds like DickBernier is beginning to plan another N.C. fabulous fest for next year...   You boys sure love your parties!   eh hem  I mean primitive rendezvous, like a bunch of hens with all your planning  I mean great that you all are planning such events!     As always send me the dates...I will try to keep the calendar updated but you guys are planning almost faster than I can type.

[mullet]

  Hey Dana,Is that bridge the one I heard about that is so high some people are afraid to drive over?My wife worked with a guy from there,and he said there were locals that would drive the tourist cars over the bridge for them.

[ScottH]

I think I could make that date, if nothing don't happen. I could use some help getting started on another bow and picking up some primative knowledge. Who ever said it was so easy a caveman could do it!

[Pat B]

Scott, Great to hear you might make it. We'll have you shooting your bow by Sunday!    An old saying...just because its simple doesn't mean its easy!!!      Pat

[DanaM]

Eddie its pretty dang tall, I've never heard of tourists afraid to drive over it but wouldn't surprise me. When the wind is blowin
you can see it swaying back and forth. Some of the lanes are just metal grates ya should try riding a motorcycle across it
Quite a while back a Yugo got blown offin it a gust wind picked it up and tossed it over the side. Here's a pic

I apologize Pat for getting yer thread of topic,
