KB8um--thanks for the link, I have built a few robots in my time. Now what they need to do is make the signing bass waterproof. Can't you imagine the fun you could have pulling one out of lake with your fishing pole and have it do its sound and dance. It just might put a different perspective on fishing. I may just try it. You have a good day.

Bill, yep. It'd better be waterproof because if anyone brings a singing bass aboard my fishing boat, both will be overboard before the fish has a chance to repeat its song. (I'm normally a patient, live and let live type of guy, but those noisey basses are starting to annoy me ... they're ALLLL OVER Columbus stores...)

al-d impostor, you chose a very difficult subject to impersonate. To the observant eye, there are dozens of technical incongruencies with the artistic style of the real al-d, not to mention that you just flat out miss his focus of subject matter by a long shot. You may have fooled some for the first day or two, but after that it's hopeless. I'll know if and when the real al-d returns.

al-d troll,

At least be observant if your going to imitate someone. Most of your posts have no mispelled words and you aren't even close to the bizzare punctuation that the real al-d uses. The worst part is that you've included absolutely no references to God or religion - a dead giveaway. I'd give your pathetic attemps no better than a D+ so far. Keep trying though, because you might get better.

BTW, I saw one of the singing bass last night for the first time. They're sort of like a bad car wreck - you really don't want to pay attention but you just can't help yourself.

KB8um--I want to again thank you for the link. Up here in MN those darn things are everwhere. Neat technology, but somewhat annoying. BTW. I like fishing and would not blame you one bit, if you lost a passenger or two if that thing showed up!!
