I go to his pro shop in New Roads all the time. Highly recommended.

I don't recall that song. I do recall the Bitch Better Have My Money song, which was peak Murphy's if you were loaded enough to try to dance up some leg for late-night.
re: What is the best office prank you either did or saw?
Posted by Grebe on 12/2/25 at 3:15 pm to Purplehaze
Not really a prank, but a colleague of mine barfed in the CEO's office after getting shite-faced during a non-approved holiday event in the office. I'm not aware that she ever found out about that either.
I bought the Viper G2 youth model in 20 gauge for my son. It has been a good gun. A few notes:
- In order to shoot light loads reliably, it must be broken in with two boxes of heavier game loads. No big deal, and it says that in the instructions.
- Ours has been reliable after following the procedure described above. Most of the shells we use are light quail loads and I only buy the cheap stuff. Said another way, it isn't picky about ammunition.
- It is easy to clean, which is good because...
- It does shoot dirty and does need to be cleaned. How often I am not exactly sure, but I clean the gas piston and magazine tube around 200 rounds.
- The gun has surprisingly good "feel;" it is not heavy and overbuilt.
- The safely is where it should be -- behind the trigger. Take note Beretta.
- If you are getting a youth version, get the one that comes with a youth stock and a regular one.
- Since it is a gas gun, it is softer shooting. That's good for kids.
I really like it. I shoot a fancy A400. For my purposes, I honestly believe I would have been just as satisfied with a wood stocked Viper G2.

Not too early. If you do it well, there is another thread that you can post to about how your day went
re: Fishing Bayou St. John?
Posted by Grebe on 11/26/25 at 1:21 pm to Funky Tide 8
Unfortunately, no. Sadly, I'm just not much of a fisherman. My son has had some good luck lately with his friends though (real fisherman), so all is well.

The only reason that guy is saying that is because Canada sucks.

Over the past few years I have watched Office Christmas Party. It isn't "the best," but it is pretty funny.
re: Gerry DiNardo coached his last game at LSU on this night in 1999
Posted by Grebe on 11/14/25 at 6:00 am to I-59 Tiger
DiNardo started the turnaround. It was so bad when he took over that they were letting students from other Louisiana colleges into the student section for free if they showed their ID at the gate. The program had lost any sense of pride and had abandoned its traditions. Bring Back the Magic was more than just a slogan -- DiNardo brought back our identity. He lit the match and started the fire.

Best budget binoculars? Nikon Action Extreme. Get the 7x35 or 8x40. Around $150. LINK
re: Best/ closest range to Baton Rouge to sight a rifle in at 100 yards.
Posted by Grebe on 10/29/25 at 7:33 pm to tigersgeauxballzdeep
The Sherburne range is likely the closest but not the best. I suspect that the Pearl River WMA range is only an extra 10-15 minutes more drive time. It is a much better option -- safe because it is staffed, targets and carriers available onsite, and well maintained.
I wear my sunglasses at night.
re: Need watch advice
Posted by Grebe on 10/18/25 at 5:20 pm to Old Character
This one is about right for a Seiko: LINK By that I mean that it looks like a Seiko should look (they have a certain style) and is not extreme and therefore hard to wear. Note that it is a solar movement. That's a plus in my book after growing weary of dealing with mechanicals, but many prefer a mechanical movement.
re: Need watch advice
Posted by Grebe on 10/18/25 at 5:09 pm to Old Character
Citizen and Orient would be alternatives to Seiko. Citizen makes a titanium dive watch that is solar powered that would be worth a look. Conservative enough for the office and a no fuss movement.
re: Need watch advice
Posted by Grebe on 10/18/25 at 4:13 pm to Old Character
If you don't know what you are doing, then don't spend a bunch of money at this point. My recommendation is to spend no more than $1K, and preferably a lot less , on a dive watch. Get one that has a black face, is conservatively styled, between 38-42mm, with a metal bracelet. You mentioned Seikos, which would not be a bad option. Note that you can buy affordable aftermarket bracelets for the ones that come with rubber straps.
As others have mentioned, get a Buck. I have a 110 folder and it is great. You can have them custom make one too. The Buck 113 is a good fixed blade. I generally prefer a folder unless it is very cold or I'm on (or in) the water duck hunting.
