Location: Midland, MI | The first (and only O I have right now) was the 1868. Believe it or not, the 'Twinkle Twinkle' thing in the 'Day Job' thread has me doing my ear training by working out a fingerstyle chord-melody for that particular tune. My wife laughs because I get frustrated...whodathunk a nursery rhyme would be so challenging. |

Btw, can one of our worship people here please tell me what the heck the deal is with the fish anyway? I see them stuck on cars and was told that those people are strong christians. That's cool, but I have no idea what the connection is between jesus and a fish. I'm not poking fun of relegion, I'm just curious what the fish means.
Thanks. |

As for the fish, I've always connected it with the parable of how Jesus said "Give a man a fish and he can eat but teach him how to fish and he'll never hold a real job again." or something like that. 'Course they've refused to let me back in the Church for years now so I'm not really sure. |

I always thought it was related to the 'make you fishers of men' story. Although I only make a hobby of comparative religious study, not a practice. ;) |

As a Fisherman, I practice catch and release. |

Catch and release still applies. |

Location: NW NJ | The fish symbol comes from Matthew 4:18-20 "18 As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. 19 "Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men." 20 At once they left their nets and followed him.
NIV
I agree, catch and release still does apply. |

My personal fav is the "Bad Cop, No Donut".
There's a smart thing to have on your window when you get pulled over! |

Location: Midland, MI | During the late 80s VW 'Fahrvegnugen' (spelling?) thing, I had picked up a T-shirt from a street vendor in Toronto (man, I love that town) that I *thought* said, 'FunkenGruven' with the cutesy little umlauts over the 'u's. I wore it proudly for a couple of months before my mother, of all people, pointed out that there was no 'n' before the 'k.'
Sorry, the bumper sticker reminded me of that. |
