What is the Facsination

Post by Bassman35 »

I work at Bass Pro and I'm posting this not as an employee but pure curiosity. What in the world is the fascination with jumping in the fish tank? We had an individual who we thought was going to jump in last night and I was just wondering why? I guess it has already happened a few times and you would think the individuals just won a gold at the olympics with the way they act. I really don't see why you would want to jump into a tank full of fish.

Probably because they know BPS won't do jack **** about it.
If someone does it when i'm there there's going to be a beatdown.

I think it first happened at the Vegas BPS, considering it is connected to a casino, its not a big surprise!

And forget about jumping in..... can you say Mask, weight belt and a spear gun :lol: :lol: :lol:

Bryan,

First, consider the source--Parents. Then, BPS might want to invest in some sort of physical security system, say like with a warning sign that says, "WARNING, INVISIBLE SHOCK FENCE, DO NOT JUMP IN THE WATER", like the ones they use on dogs. If they want to act like animals, treat them as such. If that doesn't stop them, I would suggest a more aggressive approach, like a barbed wire fence that runs around the tank with a sign that says, "JUMP AT YOUR OWN RISK". :idea: :idea: :idea: :wink:

I still don't get it. Do these people jump into the tank at the house? It's water... with fish in it. Please don't do the Santa thing considering we have santa 100 feet away every day. :lol: Couldn't imagine the kids screaming Santa's drowning.

Man how is the view from the glass house BDO?

Now let us just review a few of your more infamous moments shall we!

There was the rolling of a Quad on top of your a$$

Let's not forget your fat butt falling thru the roof and breaking your back the first time. (Mcdaniel did not push you)

You nearly take an eye out swinging a 12" fillet knife at a little bee that was trying to steal your tri tip.

And the infamous high speed dunking you took in the river that required three boats, an ambulance, surgury, and a week at John Muir Trama Center....

Now let's not forget that when the sign says "DO NOT BACK UP SEVERE TIRE DAMAGE" you probably shouldn't try it even if you have three day old BF Goodrich's.....still dont' know why Barrack had that floor jack in his suburban.

and then there is the reminder to make sure your boat has cleared the garage before you turn right.....new garage door, garage door frame and stucco was the highlight there.

and I fall in trying to land a fish and you lose your memory. Maybe I have been spending way too much time with you and it rubbed off. You see guys hanging out with Dobyns is a laugh a minute!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Your little spill in the water seems like a walk in the park afetr those issue! I haven't heard you having to do radio spots about safety, so your good!

It sucks screwing with a guy with a memory like an ELEPHANT. Your memories wrong on some of those :roll: :roll:

Let's not forget, you just fell in at Clear Lake again, what a month ago. :D Falling in is falling in. No flippin excuses. :D

Way to have your buddies back Cole.....you're a pric* too! You know I need help with KB :D

It wasn't an underwater camara, I heard that KB was trying out new "fish sounds" under the water for his bio-sonic unit. KB, just stick with the programed sounds!!! hehehe

Now Kent, I may be coming in a little late on this one, but at least Gary learns from his mistakes. He hasn't made the same one twce. You, on the other hand, hell I remember a day when you fell out of the boat, what was it, two... maybe three times?

Since I've known you I'd have to use a calculater to count the number of times that you have fallen in the drink.

I think you have dove in more time than Mark Spitz.

People constantly act like JACKASSES to get attention, simple as that.

Put signs up saying you will PROSECUTE THEM if they jump in, and DO SO.
Have them ARRESTED !!

Those are the type of cutomers you DO NOT WANT.
