Gord January 9, 2011 at 3:04 pm Reply Welcome to the Electric Beaver Brad! As a new contributor we look forward to seeing pictures of past and future adventures at VBL! Anyone who likes quality fishing rods should check out Brad's website at http://www.tealriverrods.com. Don't despair Brad……2011 will be the year you actually outfish your children. Now, outfishing me, that is out of the question!
Perchmaster January 9, 2011 at 7:19 pm Reply Great post Brad. Really enjoyed your take on Gord and yea naming the town after him would be a bit much. Way more than any of regulars could handle with his big ego already built in..Don't let this go to your rather large grape Gord…
Professor January 10, 2011 at 11:24 pm Reply Teal River Brad…Welcome to the Electric Beaver. If it's abuse you're looking for, you came to the right place. As a token of my sincerity, I'd like to heep a little on right now.#1 Gord actually is Canada's gift to the rest of the world. He's got a Certificate of Authenticity signed by the prime minister to prove it. Plus, he's had his shots. #2 I was suprised with the title of your post. Didn't you really mean to say, "Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind"?
Gord January 10, 2011 at 11:56 pm Reply No…..I believe it's "Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing the bug spray in my wine"…. Pierre Elliot Trudeau.."Luck, that's when preparation and opportunity meet.." Now was he talking fishing, or something else……
Perchmaster January 11, 2011 at 12:03 am Reply Seals and Croft would be the band!!! What did I win? Now Professor don't you think it is a little early in the year to be SUCKING up to Gord?I don't think it will help NO DISCOUNT for you!!
Andy January 11, 2011 at 3:10 am Reply Brad…welcome to the Beaver! I met you briefly at a sport show a few years ago. A previous VBL guest from Richland Center (Steve K.) raves about your rods. Let's leave it at that. It's fair to say that Gord has worn out his welcome in many parts of the world. Before he was run out on a rail in Gordon, Wisconsin he used to live in London. They loved Gord and named a road after him – Bastable Avenue. Please search google images by "Bastable Avenue" to see some of Gord's questionable old friends. Gord attempted to set up a toll road on Bastable Avenue to earn some cash and the natives grew restless. To this day, he still gets angry every time he has to cross the border and pay the paper mill fairy.
Professor January 11, 2011 at 9:27 pm Reply Perchmaster… There is a big difference between "sucking-up" to Gord and simply praising him for his numerous accomplishments that would take an ordinary man several lifetimes to achieve. That this results in me receiving overly generous discounts of up to 75% is beside the point.
Perchmaster January 12, 2011 at 12:42 am Reply I like to know what your doing for that 75% discount Joe.You of all people should know what sucking up is being your a professor I'm sure you have had a student or 2 in your time.And you are sucking up if your getting 75% discounts on your stay…
Gord January 12, 2011 at 4:01 am Reply Now fella's…..the Professor is obviously having flashbacks to the 70's. 75% discount is outrageous…. Perchmaster, cut the Prof some slack….too many doobies back when love was free has affected his later years sense of reality. That being said, I have been toying with the idea of 80% off on our 50th year of running the lodge….only 30 years to go (more or less) …..Hang in there!
mj January 12, 2011 at 7:49 am Reply wow… your blogs looks so great…its awesome nice colors you must have did hard work on your blog. Keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing your pictures.. Florida Beach Wedding | Seattle Window Tinting | Outdoor Lighting Austin, Texas
Perchmaster January 12, 2011 at 10:32 pm Reply OK Gord I will cut the Professor some slack for now but it will cost him a couple of Canadian brews this spring. 80% off my bill in 30 years that would make me 80 years old and probably won't be able to drive that far.. HAHA!!!Maybe you can give me an advance discount?Not sure but the professor does not come across as the doobie kind of guy to me!!! Andy any comments?
Gord January 12, 2011 at 11:20 pm Reply Actually the Professor was a Neil Young look-a-like till he was struck down with old age, trout waist and a rare skin malfunction that claimed his right hand and forced him to wear clown make-up during daylight hours. Other than that he is still the rebel doobie smoking hippie that he once was….though now the smoking bit has ceased and the hippie part has morphed into arthritic hips.
Professor January 13, 2011 at 2:04 pm Reply Gord…You forgot to mention my prostate surgery and recent exorcism. Now, where was I? Oh yeah. I want to live I want to give I've been a miner for a heart of gold… And I'm getting old
Teal River January 13, 2011 at 6:33 pm Reply Professor, didn't I see you on "Name That Tune"? I used to watch it as a kid.
