Congratulations on your milestone. I can assure you that for every post you make, I have put off at least 2 dozen good ideas for articles. What you have in industry I more than make up for with laziness.

Once again congrats and keep up the good work.

Congratulations.

I wonder what the viagra spammers complain about finding in their in-boxes. Offers to buy hand-tied flies from Nigeria?

Cheers

SMJ is nearly correct, I took his shattered T3 added some willow branches as splints – then wrapped the entire broken area with florescent pink poly yarn.

Good for another 25 years..

Jim B: The T3 is the one I recently broke and sent to Orvis. Someone pulled it out of the dumpster, put a new grip on it, and listed it on Ebay. Singlebarbed thought I should have it back, so he bought it and made up this “unannounced contest” idea.

As for the flies, a few months back I unloaded close to 500 yards of poly yarn onto him in various muted colors, and I suspect he’s now trying to give it back. That or he picked up a case of those Big5 Dial-a-Fly boxes and plans to pass them off on me.

Give Jean-Paul a break. If I survived an upbringing where my friends and neighbors were named Jim Bob, Joe Bob, Joe Bill, Billy Bob, and the like, you can handle a couple of syllables, too. It’s no more syllables than “Kevin” or “Bubba”, just requires contorting your mouth a bit differently to pronounce it correctly.

7/1

A slightly belated happy birthday to you singlebarbed. I call you the “Good Humor Man” KB10. Thanks for keeping life in perspective for all of us by your use of humor.

When are you going to come out with your patent pending infinitive splitter so it makes it easier on the rest of us?

Does that offshore Viagra cure arthritis as well?

Until a few months ago I couldn’t even spell blogg and now I are one.

I can neither be as prolific nor as prose-full as you, but I will continue to strive for at least a modicum of miss-adventures to be told.

Can I buy you a bottle of expensive single malt for the big occasion? Or help you drink one…

Welcome to the vocal minority Jim, we’re glad to have you … then again, now you’ve made yourself a target.

Insults are particularly welcome – the hard part being the anonymity piece, it’s hard to see who’s smaller than you – until then use me as the recipient.

I’ve lurked this site for one year, had I known there would be a prize in it, I’d have commented earlier! Is the T-3 the one you recently won on E-bay? Couldn’t you get over the “R” on the handle? Just kidding, love this blog!

Thanks for participating, and the above “rogue’s gallery” is ample proof that Fly Fisherman magazine has a lot to fear…

Oatka: I cut them classes with equal verve, now I pay the price publicly.

Jean-Paul: anyone that wipes rock snot off his tuna fish sandwich, then takes another bite is welcome in our book. There is too many syllables in your name though – so we’ll keep an eye on you.

SMJ: I’m going to recind the offer and award the rod to Lou if you don’t insult me quickly. We don’t do emotional, unless it’s the last beer.
