If your dad backed up the van into Mille Lacs up to the hood, and the first thing you thought was "This would make a great Christmas Card!!!" and the second thing you thought was "My hundred dollar digital camera i got for graduation is on the floor of the van!!!"... You night be a FMer

I gotta pay tribute to the man who created the You might be... phrase Jeff Foxworthy "If you work with your shirt off and so does your husband, you might be a redneck!" i luv that one!

If you made and or read these posts for a reason other then a "people with too much time on their hands" poll, you might be a FMer!!!

I'll give her a go.

You only know your fishing buddies by their nicknames.

Half your tackle box is full of Angle Eyes.

You fish with more tecnologicaly advanced electronics than is found on an airforce jet.

You spend more time in front of a computer than a TV.

Your kids don't get their homework done and your the one who gets "grounded".

here are some from my personal experience,

if you come home to a party at your house with hots of girls but you first...

ask your drunk friend to help you unload your SUV, (the one with the ice shack that i bought specifically because it fit inside the vehicle)...

if you've delayed getting drunk and talking to the cute girls in your living room to go and check or update your posts..

if you ordered extra summer sausage from the locker from you dear just so you'd have enough to get you through the ice fishing season.

...if you look forward to ice fishing season so that you can balance your diet with healthier meat...

if you've doubled the value of your car with all of the stuff you store in it while at school.

if you decided to live off campus just so you could get a place with a garage to store your ice shack.

and i finally...

if you and your best friend/fishying buddy use the forums like you would a cell phone and check them often enough to know whats going on...

you might me an FMer..

You go to a resort "up north" for the weekend and you don't recognize the faces of any of the other guests, but around the bar after supper you find that you know half of them by their FM username!

You know the specific action required if you spill your coffee in your lap at the Shooks intersection and you know the common name given to this action.

Hint, it's not a lawsuit against McDonalds or whoever else may have sold you the coffee.

If you tell your girlfriend that you have to fish for FM cred, then you might be an FMer. I used that this past week. But honey, I have to fish. FM expects me to fish. LOL I love this site! Don't tell my boss.

If you have ever been in a sleeper house on Red Lake over new years and your wife asks you, "what would you do if we were enjoying an intimate moment and your bobber went down?" and you have to think about it for a while......You might be an FM'er!

If you've ever tried to figure out a way to get a hook out of your finger without cutting it, in order to save the lure...

If your vehicle(s) sit outside, so your fish house(s), atv, and other equipment can be inside.....

If, after years of fishing without one, you forget the vexilar at home the third time out, you turn around and drive an hour back home to get it......

If you see your 18 year old nephew in his new permanent fish house, with his nice rods, reels and tackle, vexilar and other things, that you just recently made a reality for yourself, and you lecture him about when you were his age, how you used to sit outside, on a bucket, in -40 degree weather using hand over hand jiggle sticks trying to be able to feel your hands to catch the next fish.

there's lots more, but I'll stop for now!!
