Be afraid, be very afraid, of a clarification.

Well, we could either be talking about playing the bagpipes or Mr. Ray shooting his first 10 point. In either case, the advice is the same.

Or playing the banjo, eh?

No my dear percussionisimist friend, that would be "pluck, don't stroke."

On a completely unrelated topic, I'm going deer hunting for the first time this weekend. Any tips?

LD said to me that he now sees the problems. The candle light wasn't bright enough. He just thought that the Texas Deer didn't like Marvin Gaye or Barry White.

As for advice, along AP's suggestion, deep breath - hold it - let half out - then squeeze slowly. The discharge should almost come as a surprise to you. (left it blatently ambiguous for you Gretchen - if I spelled blatently and ambiguous correctly).

Oh, my...I blush...

Well, GG, after reading all this, I was actually about to the point of deciding to just go vegetarian, but now I'm concerned that my intentions there might be misconstrued.

That's the whole point of this forum, isn't it? And you wouldn't want Greg to get started about the salad sisters again, now would you?

Let's see; salad sisters, chickenman, deerstalker. . . Okay, I am embarassed.

A Happy Thanksgiving to all!

I had a great thanksgiving. Yes, I took my first deer. Unbelievable experience of a lifetime. I'll happily retell the tale by email or over an adult beverage at the appropriate time.

You're begging for it, aren't you? "Took" your first deer in this thread . . .
