Here's a post that I copied and pasted from the Grappling Fun thread. I think the inspiration comes from his new Wicked Grapple!

Grapple Man's Creed

This is my grapple. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My grapple is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.
My grapple, without me, is useless. Without my grapple, I am useless. I must clamp my grapple true. I must haul brush straighter than my enemy who is trying to out-haul me. I must move my brush pile before he moves his. I will...
My grapple and I know that what counts in life is not the limbs we collect, the crunch of our lid closing, nor the smoke we make from the burn pile. We know that it is the results that count. We will generate results...
My grapple is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its tines and its lid. I will keep my grapple clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will...
Before God, I swear this creed. My grapple and I are the defenders of our land. We are the masters of our property. We are the saviors of my life.
So be it, until victory is America's and there is no brush to move, logs to haul, stumps and rocks to engage, or roots to grub. Then peace and harmony will reign on our tracts!

Thanks for sharing Travis and Ted! That Wicked Grapple is awesome.

Of course, as all Active and Veteran service members may recognize, this is a respectful twist on the Rifleman's Creed. Special thanks to all of you who serve, or have served. We are all very grateful for you dedication and courage. God Bless America! :united-states:

I like it! We are very grateful as well, Sir.
I shared it on our Facebook page and the first reply was: "Sounds like a Marine!"
Very cool.

This is my grapple, this is my gun. This (grapple) is for fighting, this (!) is for fun.

Apologies to the screenwriter of An Officer and a Gentleman.

Uh, you mean Full Metal Jacket. ;)

yeah, and I heard that little "rhyme" from my dad about 30 years before I saw FMJ. He was a Drill Instructor in WWII.

We didn't do anything of the sort when I was in the Army in 2000, but everyone had seen FMJ.

I always thought it was Officer and Gentleman but I've seen both so you may well be right.

An Officer and a Gentleman is a great movie too, but they didn't so much as utter the phrase that I can recall.
