Title: What the ?!?!?
Post by: djkimmel on December 08, 2006, 01:46:42 AM
The world has tilted precariously over on its axis... (for a moment I thought I was going to fall off... or this prescription cough medication really has a kick to it?!?).

What happened to PoorBoy?? And who is this 'McCarter' person??

Also, what is pi and how do you divide a baby by it?

I know what happened to him!!! He was driving home one night and got a little thirsty. Since he was driving regular beer was out of the question so he pulled into the local party store and of course bought a rootbeer. He also bought a big bite hot dog and a bag of chili cheese Frito's. When he went to the register the kindly old shop keep ask him if he needed any lottery tickets or cigarettes and since he only had one dollar left he said "Give me that instant ticket with the teddy bear on it". He went out to his truck and did a little scratching and then used his car key to scratch the ticket and to his supprise he won $20. So he is now not PoorBoy, But McCarter.

Couple reasons for the name change.

1)  My wife and I just purchased our first house.  And a week later, we both went out and got brand new cars.  You see, the name PoorBoy fit a little better when i was living in a 14' x 56' mobile home and driving a beat up 99 Chevy Tahoe.  I know what your thinking, house payment, 2 new car payments, baby on the way....i should be changing my name to 'PovertyBoy'.  But i dont want people getting the wrong idea.  For the first time in my life ( since i moved out from the comforts of PoorParents home at 19 )  I have nice stuff and a little extra cash for beer and wings.  So i thought continuing calling my self PoorBoy would be inappropriate.

2)  I have received a lot of emails and private messages asking me if i can get discounts on Poor Boys Baits.  I didnt want people to be confused and think i was the owner of this bait company.  I have had a few people ask me that as well. 

3)  A couple guys out there really like the gobies and colors that Josh and I make.  So i really dont want anyone to think i am using the Poor Boy Baits company name to market our stuff or to think that they are indeed Poor Boy Baits company gobies.

Thats it really.  I will still answer to PoorBoy, or PB, Shleprock as some of my peers like to call me.  Call me what you will, just dont call me late for dinner.

PB, oops i mean McCarter himself :-\'

I'm glad for the clarification. I was afraid to ask who the hell this new character was. Was I the only one to wonder?

Only when refering to me and Jcheetam.  Like if you were wondering if Jeff and I were going to be fishing out on kent lake this year, you could say "hmmm, wonder if PB&J are gonna be out there"  As long as it is used properly, it shall be permitted.

Okay. Makes senses now (I really thought it was the cough syrup...)

(I was hearing and seeing a lot of comments all over about/from people thinking you WERE Poor Boy baits.)

Now that's cleared up how do we get some of those gobies, and are you running any Christmas specials??

now that there is no more poorboy are you going to change this site from poorboy's playhouse to McCarter's Manchion (sp)? Imean anybody who can afford a new house and 2 new cars must be rich. I did not hear anything about a new boat in there tho. whats up with that?

Im working on it.  The wife and I have been in serious negotiations for several days.  It looks like i am finally breaking her.  She has agreed to let me buy a new boat the very day our unborn child graduates high school.  Score one for Daddy!

Let's see: 2007+ 18 years = 2025.  We'll probably be fishing out of hover boats by then!!!!

From what I see nowadays, isn't it more like '2007 + 28 years = 2035' ???

I don't want to depress anyone. I would recommend having 6 or 7 kids right away... say in the next two years, then get them all working by the time they are 12... 13 or so. Have them pay the boat payments as their 'room and board'...?!?

No way - I have a... I mean we, have a contract (and besides if I did change, he'd probably just change his screen name again because of some other milestone, or anchor stone ;D, in his life...)

Call him a rockstar  8) ! That CoMatrix you recommended stuck two 4 lb pigs on spinnerbait yesterday. One on the mile roads and one in Belmar Bay. White with a touch of orange / chartruese - white blades.  I mean BAM ! Matter of fact, I handed the stick (with minimum care) to Jack's son Jeffery who moved the tip / backbone everywhere and the pole was still smart enough to hold tension and land the fish. It also flung those baits over 60 yards with that Corado. Thanks for the advice and help with the set up. YOU DA MAN !
