    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Fan Club Intelligence has just declassified this photograph. Since they call this the BOI, please post the following:

1. Names of all of the persons in the photo, including the famous, and up and coming reptile dealers. The female in the background is probably a passerby.

2. Location of the photograph and name of the business.

3. Date of the photo.

 
Sorry Everyone! Upload Attachments is not working for me at the moment. This is the first time I've tried to post a photo. I will try again tonight. Thanks! Bruce.
 
Fan Club Intelligence has just declassified this photograph. I have split the photograph into two parts to be able to post it here using two seperate posts. It only took me 4 hours to figure out how to do this. So, since they call this the BOI, please post the following:

1. Names of all of the persons in the photo, including the famous, and up and coming reptile dealers. The female in the background is probably a passerby.

2. Location of the photograph and name of the business.

3. Date of the photo.

I don't know. but was that snake legal to have in the U.S. at the time that picture was taken!?!?

(Just kidding)
 
It is the year 2005 and now the snake is illegal in New York State. How much more freedom are the people going to let government take away?
 
I don't know man, but the more times Bubba gets bit by his pet rattler and people like your Hero Tom run their game like he did, the worse its gonna get.
 
Actually, the laws banning reptiles in states, counties, and cities are in many cases opportunistic anti-reptile add-ons to bans resulting from the discovery of tigers or lions at someones place. So "discovery of tigers" usually equals "banning of reptiles" in the minds of most politicians, beaurocrats, and animal rights people. :crazy03:
 
"I don't know man, but the more times Bubba gets bit by his pet rattler and people like your Hero Tom run their game like he did, the worse its gonna get."

I cound not agree with you more!
 
Hopefully this thread will die a horrible death. I have never seen so much fecal matter smudged on one individuals nose in my entire life. We need to get about three or four volunteers over here to help remove this mans head from Toms rear before it gets sucked in further..... :(

Priceless Chris.....simply priceless!
 
"jealousy, look at me now...jealousy..."
LOL...he wasn't all that bad. The ass kissing has gotten a little out of bounds though...I'll gladly shake Tom's hand at Daytona, but, come on, he isn't the messiah or something !
greg
 
nah, Tom's no messiah, but I think it's hilarious

that Chris Johnson wasn't even born when Tom was in the business!
Chris ought to thank the Crutchfields, Van Nostrands,Tressers, etc. (sorry if I left anyone out) for pioneering the reptile trade, and making it so popular today. Even IF the "pioneers" made mistakes, the above mentioned people surely paved the way.
Bruce is entitled to his opinion about Tom, whether people like it or not.
Personally, I like Tom.
 
Perhaps I am wrong, but I said nothing about Tom. I simply stated that the brown nosing was getting quite annoying, in a very amusing way I may add. Did I say that I was somehow older? Did I say I had more experience? Did I say I resort to illegal activities to emulate him?

No, I did not. Nice try though..... Well, Not really.
 
Nah, I never said you were

older. And no, you never said you had more experience.
And no,you didn't say you egaged in illegal activities.
I don't know if you engage in illegal activities, nor do I care.
I simply sated that you were not born when Tom was in business.
I used you as an example, sorry if that offended you..
Might I make a suggestion? Go back and re-read my post, I think you will get the drift. :spinner03
