I feel much safer here......:confused1: So I can now peek out of the piker closet for just long enough to show my true undersides(gasp) which are piker through and through.....Thanks to Capt. Tony for giving me courage, because as a charter captain, I have a slight obligation to being outwardly professional and top of the line, no expenses spared.....It is tough, let me tell you, living this double existence:angel1:

.

Just to give you a few of my qualifications, as this being my brief moment in true piker-form, want to leave no question as to my deep seated piker roots. I of course identify with many other piker qualities, but they have been mentioned, and want to show my particular qualities for proper consideration and debate at your next EBM. I will then go back to living my life with my piker undies hidden under my "other" everyday garb.

I was born into a very big, very Italian family, where the word new clothes meant no stains(save a few bleach dots, those didn't count), rips, or nasty smells. My first pair of non hand me down shoes was a brand new set of all purpose cleats, in 5th grade. I wore them in Little league, pop warner football, and any other non aquatic sports I might be engaged in throughout my pre and just post pubescent middle school years. Now my wardrobe consists 90% of TJ MAxx or Walmart purchased items, save for the few fishing clothes I have to get to properly disguise my piker "other" from the public.

I have never owned a new automobile, ever. My first car was a used 85' VW 'Bit, which I put 203,000 plus miles on, before I took it to a push pull or tow in 97, where I got a 96 ford ranger, which came from NC and was a flood "special". after a few other disasters of used car purchases, I found my new sled in 04 with my current chariot, a 95 Suburban with 138,000 and climbing.......

My boats have all been used, and I still have an 83 Romarine which has had 4 engines, currently a combination of 2 seperate 93 Yamaha enngines(obtained for free off a nice old womans RIB, for payment to rig her new ones), one on vessel I have kept running with various objects over the last 4 years, the other would run if I hadn't "stolen" parts from it to keep the other healthy. I have every reel I've ever owned, and alot of my grandfathers stuff as well, and I throw almost nothing out. My charter boat has had a complete overhaul, with mostly salvaged or "dent and ding bin" parts, as well as complete engine rebuilds,one is a straight Cummins Block, the other a Long Block. The gaskets on the long block are homemade, the only way I could get any oil pressure......

I have gone dumpster diving on 3 seperate occasions to save my favorite hat from the wife's wrath. I have had and worn this hat since Roger Clemens was traded from the sox.......picture attached.

And lastly, the majority of the sandwiches I eat on my boat are flavored with fish guts and or motor oil......

The other two pictures are current shots of the back of my cottage, taken today.....tell me that's not the back alley of a piker????(like the lobster pots that havent seen water in 6 years but double as a fence from my neighbors yard?)
