  North Platte Walleyes Unlimited takes to the road with its trailer. North Platte WU Newsletter Editor at Wyoming Game and Fish in Casper Our meetings are the first Thursday of the month At our October meeting we held an Election for President. Brian Woodward wasn't at the meeting to defend himself so was elected in absential. That should serve notice to those who won't be there at the November meeting as we intend to elect a new club secretary as that position has now become available. It was decided at our last meeting to make the graphic on our new trailer our new official logo. We will have some pricing options for new stickers to be considered. These will be full color 4" by 6" stickers for our boats, trucks, or what have you. They should be available at our December Christmas party. If you haven't yet seen the new logo it can be seen on our website. It is official, we are now an incorporated non-profit organization. You might noticed the Inc added to our name at the top of the page. We should thank LaCinda Tilton for her efforts getting this done. We have started our banquet meetings. We are trying to get a head start on the chaos that comes with the planning of our primary fund raiser. The next one will be held on Monday the 10th at the Silver Fox at 6:00 PM. Banquet tickets will be available at the December meeting. I believe we will be shooting for 500 tickets even though we fell a few short of meeting that goal last year. With better advertising and a little more effort we should be able to sell out. We will be counting on you to help with the word of mouth campaign. The Wyoming Game and Fish "Kids Fishing Day" will be Saturday, June 6th, 2009 at Harry Yesness Pond. It was moved to a later date to try to get better weather. You may remember that last year we had 6 inches of snow the night before this years event and still had over 160 kids show up. We will be showing up with over 300 fishing poles to be given away. We will need quite a few club members to show up and help the kids rig up and learn the joys of fishing. The dates for our family outings have been set. Our first one will be June 13th at Glendo and the second one will be July 18th at Pathfinder. More information will be coming as we get closer to those dates. Our "Toughman" tournament (which is actually a membership drive) will be held on April 25th at Alcova Reservoir. With any luck we will be paying back 100% of the entry fees. Maybe a bit more. Al Condor, Wyoming Game and Fish fisheries supervisor in Casper, Wy. will be giving a video presentation at this month's meeting, and we might be elect- ing you to the position of club secretary.

On the lighter side Some Useful Condescending Phrases Some useful phrases to use as an Evil Overlord as given by Steve Meredith. These humorous cuts were originally listed as useful phrases to use around work but they probably only work well if you are a Evil Overlord(TM). Thank you. We're all refreshed and challenged by your unique point of view. The fact that no one understands you doesn't mean you're an artist. I don't know what your problem is, but I'll bet it's hard to pronounce. Any connection between your reality and mine is purely coincidental. I have plenty of talent and vision. I just don't care. I like you. You remind me of when I was young and stupid. What am I? Flypaper for freaks!? I'm not being rude. You're just insignificant. I'm already visualizing the duct tape over your mouth. I will always cherish the initial misconceptions I had about you. It's a thankless job, but I've got a lot of Karma to burn off. Yes, I am an agent of Satan, but my duties are largely ceremonial. No, my powers can only be used for good. How about never? Is never good for you? I'm really easy to get along with once you people learn to worship me. You sound reasonable...Time to up my medication. I'll try being nicer if you'll try being smarter. I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message... I don't work here. I'm a consultant. Who me? I just wander from room to room. My toys! My toys! I can't do this job without my toys! It might look like I'm doing nothing, but at the cellular level I'm really quite busy. At least I have a positive attitude about my destructive habits. You are validating my inherent mistrust of strangers. I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public. Someday, we'll look back on this, laugh nervously and change the subject. I am not forgetful Three ladies were discussing the travails of getting older. One said, "Sometimes I catch myself with a jar of mayonnaise in my hand, while standing in front of the refrigerator, and I can't remember whether I need to put it away, or start making a sandwich." The second lady chimed in with, "Yes, sometimes I find myself on the landing of the stairs and can't remember whether I was on my way up or on my way down." The third one responded, " Well, ladies, I'm glad I don't have that problem. Knock on wood," as she rapped her knuckles on the table, and then said, "That must be the door, I'll get it!" The brain transplant In the hospital the relatives gathered in the waiting room, where their family member lay gravely ill. Finally, the doctor came in looking tired and somber. 'I'm afraid I'm the bearer of bad news,' he said as he surveyed the worried faces. 'The only hope left for your loved one at this time is a brain transplant. It's an experimental procedure, very risky but it is the only hope. Insurance will cover the procedure, but you will have to pay for the brain yourselves.' The family members sat silent as they absorbed the news. After a great length of time, someone asked, 'Well, how much does a brain cost?' The doctor quickly responded, ' $5,000 for a male brain, and $200 for a female brain.' The moment turned awkward. Men in the room tried not to smile, avoiding eye contact w ith the women, but some actually smirked. A man unable to control his curiosity, blurted out the question everyone wanted to ask, 'Why is the male brain so much more?' The doctor smiled at the childish innocence and explained to the entire group, 'It's just standard pricing procedure. We have to mark down the price of the female brains, because they've actually been used.' Sex of a fly A woman walked into the kitchen to find her husband stalking around with a fly swatter 'What are you doing?' She asked. 'Hunting Flies' He responded. 'Oh. ! Killing any?' She asked. 'Yep, 3 males, 2 Females,' he replied. Intrigued, she asked. 'How can you tell them apart?' He responded, '3 were on a beer can, 2 were on the phone. Woody Tight Lines -- Woody G. |
