(Looks like 35 Remengton - 200 grain round nose)

[isawlogs]

Bib you got it wrong  :..... Kevin gave him the wire to hang the DANG thing up ;)

[Jeff]

close, its not a cartage. ;)

Bullseye on the caliber, other then its a 180

[Paschale]

Well, Bibbyman...I think ya nailed that one on the head...but yur making it easy for the rest of us!  I guess we can all view this as the example clue...so we know what to do with the rest.  

Sounds like fun, Jeff!   ;)  I say once we get the song all figured out, we all head to the studio, lay some tracks, and put it in the can.   ;D Who's singin' lead vocals?  Anybody got a tamborine floating around?  Any of you southerners got a jug?   :D  I'll bring my trombone along for the ride...

[Jeff]

Who's singin' lead vocals?

By Golly, I think we just figured out what prize 11 will be.

[chet]

Naw yur all way off.   ;)   Kevin mounted da bullet dat Jeff didn't get his deer with.   ;D

[Jeff]

Now you just hush up till somebody wins ya. :D

[chet]

 :'(

[Paschale]

Uh-oh...Santa's done started crying...somebody's being naughty and not nice.   ;D

[DanG]

Hey! This is shaping up. Is it the Viet Nam version of the 12 Days?  Huh? Is it? Huh? ;D :D :D



I'm gonna win. ;D

[Stephen_Wiley]

Hey Chet,

Been meanin to ask ya for sometime now.

Why ya got that speed line horizontal to the cut in your avatar pic.  :D  :D  :D  :D

You might need to do a bit of research to figure out what some of our items actually are... but thats part of the fun  :

Ian

[TN_man]

Ian,
You are right about having to do a search. You got me on must of those.
Jeff,
When you say Bibbyman is close, are you referring to his spelling? I need to know. I need to know.

[Engineer]

Ayup, spellin', that would be it.   ;D

[sawguy21]

Lanab, ILMAO and e-mailed the link to friends.

[doublecutusa]

How 'bout a carTRIDGE in a bare tree?? You guys weren't at my Christmas party last night, huh?

[OneWithWood]

DanG it all Jeff!  I was just startin' to wean myself from my FF addiction and now you done gone an ruint it :D :D :D

Mebbee after new year's. . .

[Pete J]

Hey Jeff,

I'd like a little clarification on the can o'peas. Are they good ol'USA grown peas? My next door neighbor is in the wholesale food business and he warned me against those cheap, lima bean colored peas from Bangladesh. They are cheap for a reason. Although the bugs do add protein. If I win the peas, can I trade them for a box of grits instead?

LogRite

[Ed_K]

 I'm sure glad that thar cartrage ain't a 458  :D

[Jeff]

LogRite, some of you apparently do not realize that the official vegetable of the forum is PEAS not grits. This goes back a long ways in forum History.

[ohsoloco]

If'n I win 6th prize I want a song  :D

I believe Jeff said that Chet can yodle  ;)

[Engineer]

On this here holiday season,

visualize whirled peas.   :D

[serg]
