I am sitting in yet another hotel room checking my e mails. There is an e mail from SCI. I scan it and decide to read an article on mountain hunting. As I get to the end, there is an ad for a skanky dating website. I am shocked. Is this SCI or some internet BS?

My Photobucket has been acting up for a while now. I wish I could post the screenshot.

Hey there! I was the first recipient of the World Slam of Woodpeckers badge and I bitterly resent your insinuation that somehow my award lacks significance or relevance.

Do you know how many trees I had to climb to win that thing?

Isn't a skank, technically speaking, a lizard? Or is that a skink?

A skink is a lizard. A skank is a different creature all together.

When I get home I will post the screenshot from my computer.

Don't know about the ad you're looking at Larry, but I recall one in the SCI monthly newspaper several years ago that was basically a solicitation from a single woman living in Florida. She included a picture and described herself as "a huntress".... looking for a "like minded male partner"....." of independent means". Or something to that effect. The ad included her personal contact info.

I contacted SCI advertising sales, as well as that pompous ass Steve Comus asking about the ad. Predictably, I got no response.

Just looked online at it myself.

No dating sites, a bunch of local tourism crap.

Just what kind of hotel are you at?

I looked this morning. I saw the same ad. I looked again in an attempt to see if I could forward the link. It is now an ad for Academy Sports.

I did forward the screenshot to Andrew.

Some skanks can be classified as lounge lizards.

I am told that some of the higher ups at SCI saw this and inquired as well. Apparently, pretty much anyone can buy time on the blog sites.

I am still trying to find someone to post the screenshot for me.

Is someone with a world slam of woodpeckers colloquially referred to as a peckerhead? Just curious.

I believe my wife has used that term a time or two ...

My current endeavor is the World Slam of Shrews and Voles.

You see that little blue rectangle at the top right corner? It indicates that it's an advertising network and they choose which ads to show. SCI just pastes the code into their newsletters, etc. but they don't control which specific ads are displayed. However they should be able to go into their account settings with the network and choose certain broad categories of ads that can be displayed. See http://www.media.net/

So you want to mount the trophy skank "to" the wall or "on" the wall?
Just need to get you to the correct taxidermist or physician.

Ross, I didn't say that 'I' want or wanted to mount anything on or to the wall, but asked rather of a taxidermist that could do the mounting! Ain't English a great language !

No space in my trophy room on the walls or floors for females of any species!!!

Cheers

If I were to engage in the pursuit of this world slam I would need Mark Sullivan and his 577 to save me from my wife.

I wonder if there are any rules of take and how much after trophy fees I would need to send to SCI to register my slam? Do I have to send in video to the SCI judgement panel for conformation?

I tried some low fenced Texas skank hunting when I was in college. Those things are dangerous...they turn on you for no reason. I still have scars!
Take my word for it, leave those heifers alone.
