I've realized that one of my main nemesis has been missing in action for some time now. I did some research and found out that he was banned. I've missed hunter44, greentitian, bigdon but I think yakerrrrman holds a special spot in my heart. I don't only miss his wit and insight about trap shooting but the fights he was always getting into at the CC with shooters or classifiers that made my job of tournament director have special meaning. Now with the transgender thread I wondered where yakerrrman was and found out the awful truth BANNED, REMOVED, VOIDED, so using my influence I've persuaded americantrapshooter.com to lift the ban so now yakerrrman can tell us all he knows about the transgender issue in the ATA. Well done Americantrapshooter well done and thank you from all of us. Brad
Bobby I was affearded that the mean old guy with the Hawaiian shirt and the gold chains had got him, or even maybe the classifier and the Hawaiian shirt had tag teamed him. Sure glad to hear that nothing like that has happened. Dave Berlet
Brad why are you bringing up all these GHOSTS from Halloween's past? That ornery ole groundhog that Big Don is chasing through the snow must have put a whupping on Don like Dr Longshot did in the grudge match. Dave Berlet
Dave I'm just feeling nostalgic for the old days when I could get a good internet debate going with some committed (or maybe they've been committed now) individuals concerning the pressing issues of the trap shooting day (other than 7 1/2's or 8's). I'm kind of worried that some of them ARE ghosts, too much kool aid was proven fatal in the past (Jonestown). Brad Dysinger
NO, NO, NO 71/2's. If you don't think bigger is always better just ask yourself have you ever seen a 2 3/4 inch dildo (maybe at a skeet shoot)? Brad
I don't think a 2 3/4 inch ATA EC or BOD member would do much good at skeet shoot ..... It would be like throwing a penny in the Grand Canyon and expecting it to hit both sides on the way down. And 7 1/2's are OK for singles and doubles, but 6's for a Calcutta handicap.
Brad Yakimaman (yacker) has it in for you. Disciplining him at the CC has consequences. Is he still allowed there? I hear BIG DON is on campus but has Leftout doing his talking. Kinda like an old fashion dummy. You would have thought the transgender thread would have brought out a few of the above. Had you mentioned transgendered midgets you may have attracted grntitin. Nice cast tho.
It looks like current threads here has sent them all into hiding everywhere in cyber-land. Looking at Bikini Babes in a cold dark room must be enough Trapshooting activity for them. "You can't handle the truth" ... when someone orders a "Code Red" ... and enjoy the Kool Aid ...
Naw, Ole Yak is thanking everyone for not going to the grand, he got a call for a camping spot at sparta. He is jumping for joy and doesn't have time to post. Lol
Last word was he's having a custom shooting wardrobe designed to go with his new camping spot. Hope it's a little more masculine than his scout outfit when he was selling cookies.
When the Kool Aid crew were TOLD what the "MOU" said ... there were 'butt-slaps' a plenty. Now that everyone can READ what it says ... the Kool Aid crew does not seem as vocal.
We went to dinner last night with a Buddy and his wife who is a retired Attorney , I asked if he had looked at any of the postings and he just laughed and said it was ridiculous for anyone to put any faith in anything they will not put on paper ... I asked what he thought about the lease, he said Illinois has so many law suits filed against it they will never all get to court and those that do will be vacated because the State has no way to settle anything that involves money ... He is a life member of the ATA and follows the sites as an observer, says the old place is newer shooter's who for the most part who do not have a clue ... He did say he was surprised that none of the BOD has not stopped many of the actions taken by the EC and ED and his impression is that the ATA will soon be a thing of the past if they continue in the direction they are headed ... We had to change the subject, the wives were tired of listening to us ... Dinner was great ... WPT ... (YAC) ...
I heard there was a yakerman sighting today at a restaurant near the entrance to the CC. Maybe he's the one feeding merlo all the secret info. I don't know if merlo was there too or not. Yakerman is getting pretty chummy with the kool aiders. It would be the perfect cover. Maybe hunter44 recruited him at the SCTP college shoot last fall. I know that merlo was there so he's familiar with the CC eatery. I was glad to hear yakkkerman is still around. But what about BigDon? Has he been viewed since the big game? I'm afraid with the game and now the MOU and Barry and the Illinois stealing the U.S. open thread, and then throw in the fantastic direction the ATA is headed it just might all have been too much for him to face in such a short period of time. I guess he could be merlo's spy. Maybe they all are. Who ever it is he is gooooooood. Brad
I believe Merlo went too far and too fast ....the Kool Aid crew is reduced to taking a "selfie" while looking at Bikini Babes. The "MOU" gave great hope to go shoot against the best shooters in the World, breaking their 58/100 from their 27-yard handicap.
"yaki" tried to share a copy of the "MOU" with his fellow campers ... but not much interest. Who knew that drinking Kool Aid and looking at Bikini Babes would shut down narrow minds.
Sorry to hear about the loss of his son, tragic to lose a Loved one anytime ... Condolences ... WPT ... (YAC) ...
