IBOT? What the heck is it?

[slick814]

Ok, I just read what the LOTW general member thing is all about, but I've seen someone who is an IBOT wannabe, and a few IBOT members... what the HECK is IBOT??

I think if you buy a round for the house you become an IBOT.
Sort of like.."I bot the last round, who's next?"
It's human nature to want to be a part of things, club memberships are no exception.
It's also human nature to try and get people to buy you drinks!

Or it could be that they're all fans of the musical group "The Allan Parson's Project" they had the hit in the 70's called "I Robot". Maybe the IBOTs dont spell sew gud.

Still I wonder....Who'll stop the rain?

It's actually a club from URL. I think it stands for: Internationl Brotherhood Of Triangualists.

They are referring to URL and the surrounding area as kind of a Bermuda Triangle effect where disaster strikes often. Being an I.B.O.T. member will protect you. If you frenquent the area, you'll understand!

The last time I ice fished URL, I got my pickup stuck for two hours and then proceeded to smack a 190 lb buck just outside of Bemidji the same night on the drive home. After I towed my truck to the cities and picked it up from the body shop, the transmission lasted 100 miles before it died. You're suppose to be able to tow a Dodge without dropping the drive shaft but mine seemed to be an oddity.

That ice fishing trip to the triangle cost me over $3000.00. Needless to say, I've not been back.

I Clamped during a LOTW trip last winter. It brought tears to my eyes for the camraraderie, or was it the pain...close call.

Don't worry Slick your not the only one who was wondering what it meant. I was to scared to ask when they started talking about clamping.
