[...] – the TUWN has been propagandizing its impending global domination for nearly three years, and watching everyone so closely as to make George Orwell posthumously [...]

Tom you need to learn a real man’s game like bocce or Connect Four.

Yeah, you should get some rest – you’re looking pretty tired.

The covert surveillance of my activities by the TUWN is equally disturbing.

Speaking as a former tournament chess player (which means I’m smarter than the rest of you), I have to say doping in chess is an absolute laugher, but if there ever was a sport/recreation more screwed up than fly fishing (excepting hunting, cycling, WWF and a few others), it would be chess, which is run by a crazy dictator from the former soviet republic of Kalmykia (or something like that).

Of course, even chessplayers don’t experience anything as deadening as indicator nymphing, so I’m probably just going to go back to drinking.

Michael: I wouldn’t complain so much if you used biodegradable indicators … fishing behind you has “moss” on every snag in the river, plus the overhanging tree limbs.

fat guys?

geesh. I like to refer to myself as drought and famine resistant. Especially useful in the current economic “crisis” we are in. Id just as soon trade in my last dollar for some hooks and hackle than a meal.

You are fooling nobody, fine sir…

This post is nothing more than another attack on nymphing as a whole, by the nefarious dry fly mongering TUWN. Stealthily bathing such venom in metaphor will do you no good anymore – those who cherish the use of fluorescent green indicators when the sun is low on the horizon are on to you!

I am pretty gullible and assumed the chess doping scandal had to have come from the pages of The Onion (www.theonion.com).

Exactly which aspect of fly fishing would be scored for the Olympics: fly tying, casting technique, number and size of fish landed or the miles of Bud Light cans and cheap cigar butts scattered along the bank?

Fat guys have an edge when rolling down the bank screaming, Gravity ensures they “face plant” with authority.

That’s not grounds for disqualification, that just ensures you make the highlight reel..

Pete: I wonder if there are any heroes left. Politics died with Nixon, Astronauts fell from favor with Gus Grissom, John Wayne died, and Jeffrey Daumer went Vegan …

Doesn’t leave much does it?
