When my son was a little younger, he came to me and asked, "Daddy, why would somebody call another person fish poop?" Not really sure where this was going I asked him what he meant. He replied, "well, last night I was watching TV, and this guy called some one else a 'bass turd.'" When I finally was able to stop laughing, he and I had a l-o-n-g talk, and my little buddy lost a little more of his innocence. I shared the story with my own dad. He knew that, at the same time, I was up to my eyeballs restoring my 681, which wasn't yet the gem it later turned out to be. Grandpa, thinking he was pretty funny, immediately dubbed my diamond in the rough Ranger, The Bass Turd.
So somebody has finally figured out my little pun and joke and how I came up with my nickname. Although I don't know what TV show your son was watching and when, I've been using the name Fishpoop on the muskie message boards since about 2000. So either this TV show has a writer with the same sense of humor that I do or my nickname has somehow made it to Hollywood. lol I wonder if I can demand royalties for using my name?? lol
