Island Of Misfits

[RosterMan]

Story about a crank phone. I was fishing with my grandpa, I must have been maybe 6 or 7. My grand parents were planning a fish fry later that day we were sent to get the fish. The fish must have taken the day of cause we weren't even getting nibbles. Time passed and it was getting hot and late. First time I have ever heard my grandpa say "Fk this"!

He reeled in his line and told me to do the same.......we rowed to a spot with a lot of brush and he dropped something in the water......then rowed to the other side of submerged brush and dropped something else in the water...... Suddenly he got this s-hit eating grin on his face and said WATCH THIS.....he picked up a crank phone and let er go. BOOM!.....looked like a covey of quail taking off......fish jumping out of the water everywhere. They were all stunned and we spent the nest few minutes gathering up fish. I couldn't believe it.

We had a successful fish fry. I have never seen that done again.

I once knew a guy would was on a website for yrs as a woman and confided in me and told me in beginning she was a he to get more help. It was a hoot watching all the guys competing to help him every time he asked a question No one knew about for a very long time
No it was not me LOL

That’s pretty funny. Smart guy I guess especially if he posted a nice picture of himself that was just good enough to be believable. When I first was learning about social media pre fb, I was always scared of creepers so I played my dog Rambeau and only showed his picture. Below a picture of Rambeau

Don't know what you mean. I was a little boy. I had no idea what was going on. He dropped two things in the water maybe 8 ft apart.

I would love to have a picture of my face like SubG said. I remember one fish came out of the water right beside me and I swear he was both shitten and pissen.

I have many memories of my grandparents. Never had a real dad or a mother for the most part.

I HAVE!! Our farm was three rings. I was not strong enough to crank it (nor was I allowed to be even near it without a grownup's OK). But I could stand on the box and turn down the daffodil and put the tulip to my ear and say "hello".

If you hadn't scorched a hole in the signal blanket earlier, they'd probably cut ya more slack with the phone.

I'd bite that, myself!

A stick of Nobel's best with a rock taped to it works just as well.
