Have you got the "stick's" DNA?? Or at least the DNA of the last bloke she hit in the head?

Well I went to the Dump yesyerday ..boy that's a big place ... I had visions of looking over a vast field and seeing my stick poking out of the ground. .No such luck , I did manage to drop off a rusty old rake and a flattened broom however .... that'l teach em .
While I have given her up as lost it is still considered a MIA and I will not close this case until it has been proven it is gone.

A few pics of me and stick in hapier times ... rememeber when i got the new wheels and I had rubbing issues ? Stick once again came to the rescue ..

Anyway Frank the stick came to be when i broke it over the net on a momentary loss of reason over a bad call. I took it home to cut it down for my son but it turned out he shoots right ( I shoot left ) . It sat in the corner for about 8 months but I don't know why . Then i bought the car and was so excited I wanted a pic for my Avatar. The car didn't run so I couldn't get it back out of the garage So I decided to get a pic of the engine , the lid didn't stay up either ... those were the days !!! ... SO I grabbed the stick and legend was born.
I really didn't realize it had become such an icon until I started messing around with my Avatar and I got lots of PMs about putting the STick back in his rightfull place ( mostly from Canadian Guys ) who see the Stick as prototypical Canadiana , representing , Porsche , Canada , and Even McGyver ( who is Canadian !
So back the stick Avatar Went and a legend was born ..

Iceman, It is truly a sad day. You have my sincerest condolences.
We all will morn the loss of "The Stick."
If there's anything I can do to help in this time of need, let me know.

May I suggest that we all take a minute and offer up a moment of silence for the stick.......................

Hang in there buddy, time heals all wounds.

Doug

Thanks Trader but it just wouldn't be he same .. he would just be a shadow of his former tree.. I am after something VERY particular now , I will post a pic when i find it .... After so long at his post it will be difficult to find a replacement .. I guess my Stick and Bob " Bark" er had a lot in common.

Default FOUND ON HALF & HALF CARTON!

I was surprized to find this on a Half & Half carton. They usually post pictures of missing bisexuals there.

I was at my buddy's garage yesterday prying spring plates out when my buddy hands me the business end of an old sawed-off hockey stick to use to protect my inner fender walls. I say "I wish I had a camera, Iceman would love this." Man, what a coincidence. After all the suffering I have had to endure in the process of getting my 911 DIY Ph.D, I have had to adopt the philosophy that all things happen for a reason...so Ice, let's say this too shall pass and as Luke Skywalker lost a hand and a Light Sabre fighting Darth, surely you shall find a new Ice Sabre...may the Porsche (and the Bauer) be with you...

That's just wrong and sad.
Perhaps you can find a later model stick and back-date it to look just like the old one...

Ice, Are you keeping one eye on Ebay? You never know where it could turn up. Are you sure your wife isn't in on some super carerra world domination plot? This could just be a distraction with greater things to come. That new york cop could be in on it too...
