arbuck Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Based on Jeff Foxworthy's you might be a redneck, but here in Minnesota we have FM. Here are just a few that I could think of I'm sure you guys/gals will have more to add. If you have ever bought a vehicle based on the size of your portable fish house...........You might be an FMer If you have ever bought you wife jewlery that doubles as a fishing lure.............You might be an FMer and the last one that I could come up with........ If you have ever watched TV in your living room while seated in your portable fish house...............You might be an FMer. Anyone else come up with any? arbuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonefishin11 Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Im gonna modify your first one a little bit.... If you buy a portable house small enough to fit in your SUVIf the day the FM server goes down, you call in sick to work or skip class and check every 5 minutes to see if it is up and running.....

chunkytrout Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 As you're sitting there pondering "Is the Marcum superior to the Vex, is Eskimo is slower than the Nils, which events should I go to, will my wife divorce me if I get another portable?" and you drive into a snowbank, you might be a FMer.

icehousebob Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 If your kids don't trust any meat that doesn't have bullet holes or hook marks in it...... If your wife comes into the room in her black nightie and says its bedtime, and you would rather spend time at the computer.... If your idea of a perfect second honeymoon is a three day weekend in a rental fishhouse..... If your son in second grade draws a family picture and it shows mommy, baby sister, the new puppy, and a face in a fish house window... If you can't understand why you wife isn't happy with a Vex for an anniversary gift.... If your family pictures on the wall have been replaced with CPR,ed fish pictures...

JohnMickish Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 The Muskie lures you do get are bigger than any ornament on the tree...You decorate a tree with lures....You have those fish lure lights hanging from your tree...The first thing you do after you bring home that new boat or fish house is attack it with a drill and "make it right" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hunt4food Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 If you got a Christmas card from your taxidermist that even addressed your children by name on the envelope. If the neighbor kids looks at your fully outfitted ice fishing ATV and asks if Darth Vader drives that? If your local bait store could balance your checkbook If you know what an I.B.O.T stands for and if you know better than to ask if you "need an extension." If you can gut a deer with 1 hand while eating a Hershey bar with the other. If your hands smell like fish so often that your wife has gotten used to it. If your dentist has repaired your teeth more than once due to chewing into a copper plated #4 shot. This is fun, but I must stop for awhile now.

When 2/3 things you say begins with " Today when I was on FM.com"..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icehousebob Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 You've given panfish fillets as a birthday gift... You think of smoked fish, venison jerky, pickled fish, and beer to be four of the basic food groups... Your ice fishing tackle box is worth more than you first two cars... You haven't had a car in your garage for ten years because of sporting equipment... ( three of those four are actually true about me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
