I have to ask:

What will a $100 pair of pliers do that a $15 pair wont' do?

How can you lose a tool that you use on your boat, how far can it go?

Is it possible this is just another one of those stories you like to tell?

Okay, who stole the good-quality fishing pliers I bought last year?

I was stocking up my fishing bag and my three pair of el cheapo fishing
pliers are right where I left them, but the good Van Staal titanium
needle nose pliers are...GONE!!!

Which one of you bozos was in my garage?

'fess up or I'll UPS a box full of used kitty litter to your house.

You have 24 hours.


Harry, I'll believe a lot - I really will.

But you actually own a pair of Van Staal titanium fishing pliers?

Hell, even I don't own a pair of those over priced appliances and I'm
a sucker for anything that relates to my avocation. :)



Ebay...$96.00. New.

They look real pretty mounted in a frame over the fire place?

John,
Can you imagine not being able to find a pair of pliers, and making a post
in rec.boats. Seems like another excuse to make up a story about what
wonderful toys Harry owns. ; )

SHEEESSSHHHH!!! It's been a year since I checked this NG and the
asshole is still struttin' his stuff. It's hard to believe a dickhead
like Harry can carry this crap on and on and on. Why don't they rename
this group to rec.Harry?
That's it --- stick a fork in him -- what a waste of bandwidth.
So sue me, and kiss the place on me that looks like Harry.

Yeah, you're right: these anonymous jerks (aka "Smithers", one and all)
are really getting out of hand. My only advice is to killfile them as
quickly as possible when they nymshift.

If I'd spent almost $100 for a pair of pliers, I'd be too embarrassed to tell
anyone, unless I was a braggart of course.

The key is insecure braggart.

Harry should take a picture of his pliers and Lobster Boat. That would shut
everyone up. ;_)

Maybe his lobsta boat is in the same bathroom cabinet as his fishing pliers.
