McTage is a "Cover Boy"!

Wow, take a look at issue 5 of CarpPro magazine.  McTage has his picture on the front.  You know that old saying, "Don't judge a book by it's cover"; well, I don't think it is true for magazines.  Seeing him on the cover tells me that this issue will be good.  It is.  Check it out.

"Soft Porn" Contest Winners

Thanks so much to the people who sent entries for the "soft porn" photo contest!  Entries came from three continents; that was so cool!

I read the guidelines to my wife, Katy.  She looked through the pictures. The first time through she had four favorites.  She looked again and got it down to three.  She stepped away from the computer for a bit and came back.  She got it down to two at that point and suggested we cut the line in half.  One of the things that has helped us stay happily married for 36 years is that I listen and cooperate.  I cut the line.

Okay, fine, I didn't really cut the line.  The rest of the story is true though.  Katy did finally make a choice for first place and second place.  

Second place goes to Randy Skidgel from California.  Congratulations Randy! You have won a Got Backing? T-shirt.  Here is Randy's picture.

I know you are already one of the cool kids in your neighborhood, Randy but this shirt will really cement your image and your status.  Here is the picture that is on the shirt.  What size do you wear?  

First place goes to Tom Schwartz from Oregon.  Congratulations Tom!  You win the new Orvis Hydros Carp line.  I just love the line and I hope you do too.  Here is Tom's picture.  

The line you will receive looks like this, Tom.  See, no cut after all.  

Randy and Tom, please contact me with your mailing addresses.  I will get the prizes shipped promptly.  Thanks again to everyone who entered.
