Hard part is showing what they actually get as return for their $.
You'll notice on the cover of the March issue of Heartland Outdoors, which I was told nobody reads, the guy is wearing a Frabill hat. That's because the advertiser wanted something on the cover.

Apparently Don Dz owes Frabill a mention too, cause he then took that cover and wrote this:

http://www.chicagonow.com/illinois-outd ... the-cover/

That's exactly the crap I can't stand. I've pretty much never pushed product in almost 15 years of jotting things down.

Find a job first, talk about details of this some other time.

Oh I read that part...I just figured I'd try to sneak one in. I figured you of all people would appreciate that sort of thing :lol:

But really, I think that more people in the community know me more as BrookFieldAngler - it's actually a lot more specific and easier to find than "Nick"

No, you are Nick, get over it.

:twisted:


When your friends call your house to they ask for Brookfield Angler or Nick?

When my friends call my house they say, 'Hey retard... " or "Hey dumbass... "

So Special Ed not only fits, but it's true. (just a bit more politically or should I say WDJ correct... ) :lol:

If you want, do what Adam did. Adam HnG.

I already have to go bitch at a couple of others, but they're hardly ever here so I don't worry about them. Especially Sam, he's harmless.

Put BFA first then your name if you want.

That is the one sticky part. The new Terms has name on top and alias in the signature. I realize others are known on other sites by nick names.

I like Adams' solution.

Damn near everything works for ED, just call him something.

I don't know crap about if a magazine or e-zine would work. We are flooded with them. Paper is on the way out. A hard fact. I hate reading off from computers, phones, etc. I can't bring my lap top in the john and read like a paper. If I did my wife would think I sneaking in a spank. Oh well.

But I can say that I have enjoyed reading Ken's rants.. some even turn into worth wild stories. He has the material for a book of short stories that would be read by people. Wanting to tick off the neighbors with a toilet flower pot is about as outdoors and relate-able as it can get.

The guy I got out guiding the other day was pressing pretty hard for me to start compiling things into a book format.

Bob Long, Jr. has been bugging me for years.

When I go back and read my stuff from years ago, I cringe. It's awful, to me anyway.

In a few years I'll probably think what I'm doing now is awful.

We'll see.

We all laugh at ourselves years later no matter what we do. Just a part of life. If we don't... You may have a problem. ;)
