Double Bass Name this TBer:

[John Sprague]

So I'm talking on the phone with this TBer, and this person tells me about a recent fishing outing this person was on, and went on to tell me about how this person jumped into the lake and wrestled a "not-so-big" snapping turtle onto shore. I thought I'd share the pic, I'll post the face-pic later. No turtles were harmed, just annoyed a little and sent on its way.

Wouldn't this make a great avitar?

 

[Bruce Lindfield]

I think I'd be worried about where that Turtle was going to "snap" at, next...?







PS - is it the "Qintar" !!!

We've got some snappers in our lakes. I wouldn't be putting my bass-playing fingers anywhere near that mouf...

 

[Chris Fitzgerald]

Bollbach is the "turtle king" around these parts, isn't he?

 

[mpm]

If its who I think, yep, I've seen him wade into the water while fishing...

 

[Damon Rondeau]

...I should add that it's a nice lookin' turtle.

 

[Marcus Johnson]

Yeow...that brought back memories. I used to encounter these bad boys while swimming in the lakes in Northern Wisconsin during my youth. Not for the faint of heart.

 

[barebones]

This might sound pretty wussy, but that thing terrifies me!

The turtle I mean, not the TBer.

[Damon Rondeau]

I dunno -- reserve judgement until we see the TBer...

 

[John Sprague]

Drumroll please...

The one and only Mr. Jeff Bollbach, our mystery TBer of the day, and resident turtomonologist!

 

[Mark Carlsen]

I would like to add that this is an unusal way to adjust the endin, but Jeff is alittle out of the box...

 

[Tbeers]

Haha that's priceless. The turtle looks so pissed off!

Yeah, it does rather make you wonder exactly what Jeff-I is doing with his right hand...

Perhaps that is the look of ecstasy on the turtle's mug...

A dual life. The only Luthier/Terrapene Proctologist in North America.

Gives a whole new meaning to "coming out of your shell"!

 

[mpm]

and thanks to John for 'sticking his neck out' by posting that pic...

 

[John Sprague]

Hey I'm happy to shell out a little humor when I can.


The big question now: will he or will he not use the turtle head avitar?
