Mark Miszkiewicz April 13, 2012 at 2:22 pm Reply ****Breaking news from the Kenora Sun Post Times Journal Gazette**** After promising to replenish the ice supply for the entire Kenoran metropolis (he must go to Winnipeg for the recipe),local lodge owner Gordon Bastable was released from custody at 12 noon April 11th. He had been arrested earlier that day for the theft of every bag of ice from each and every grocer and gas station. Surveillance cameras caught a silver-haired “Abe Lincolnish” man wearing a beaver top hat initialed with VBL. The getaway vehicle, a silver Toyota pick-up, also bore the distinct VBL. When Kenoran Constable Gordon B. Gordan couldn’t decipher this evil code, a call was placed to the U.S. FBI. Bastable was apprehended later at Vermilion Bay Lodge on Eagle Lake. In an apparent attempt to foil the “ice-out” prediction of Mark “Nostradomus” Miszkiewicz, Bastable had been dumping truck loads of ice off the Government dock just off his property. He then photographed this mass of ice and declared “close but no banana” to Mr. Miszkiewiczs’ otherwise amazingly accurate prediction of April 11th. This was all done to circumvent the awarding of a VBL coffee mug and acknowledging that Mr. Miszkiewicz is truly a superior being with much greater intellect than himself. SHAME ON YOU MR. BASTABLE!

That was an awesome piece posted above!!!! Dude you are wasting your talents you should be writing books for a living and give up on trying to fish/hunt!!
Gord April 14, 2012 at 12:21 pm Reply …….I concur about the “trying to fish/hunt” part. Leave it to professionals…
Gord April 14, 2012 at 12:33 pm Reply Very interesting delusion you had there Mr. Miszkiewicz….or should I call you Nostradoofus? It seems you have saved up all you pent-up verbalizing for this one comment. Hopefully you will have a little left for future topics…….such as “How to lose gracefully at cribbage”, or “Why I can’t win a VBL coffee mug?” or “Why are all my fish so tiny?” Now that would be some interesting stuff! Good prediction by the way….too bad it was wrong!
Andy April 13, 2012 at 3:01 pm Reply Very cool Gord. At first I thought that maybe this was just practice for fighting fires. And then I realized, this guy must have picked an “ice out” day for this day and was trying to speed up the process. This contest is rigged I tell you.
Gord April 13, 2012 at 3:05 pm Reply You might call it practice, or you could call it a VBL promotional stunt. If you look closely when the water bomber drops its load at the end of the video, you will see the outline of the actual ice out date for 2012!! Believe it or not!!
Andy April 13, 2012 at 3:26 pm Reply Gord, Hit the sauce hard right now. Then take a long siesta for the weekend, wake-up on Monday, and tell us if the ice is gone. I thought that was the plan? Andy
charles Weiss April 13, 2012 at 6:43 pm Reply It looks like a whole bunch of new siding has been added to the Fish Shack! Lookin’ Good
Perchmaster April 13, 2012 at 6:58 pm Reply And as I went to edit my post I saw Gord preparing his post at this time and it is over!!! THIS CONTEST WAS RIGGED!!!!!
Gord April 13, 2012 at 10:08 pm Reply Cudo’s to Chuck Weiss for being the first to notice the new siding going up on the side of the boat house. What the hell’s wrong with the rest of you people? Quit admiring the lake and take a look at the improvements going on!! Good work Chuck!
Perchmaster April 14, 2012 at 12:09 pm Reply Boy Gord you get taken down like that by ol man misky and you don’t have a comeback.
Perchmaster April 14, 2012 at 7:22 pm Reply So this means nobody picked the date so no winners? WTH!!!! THIS IS BULLDOOKEY!!!!
