I’d guess Madison Ave has found us again, what with a movie in the works and everyone focused on “greening” their septic little township, doubly savaged by the exodus of industry and the continued plummet in home prices. The image of the fly fisherman plying his craft offered up to establish a little bit of [...]

While the mighty minions of Peta are busy protecting innocent school children  by soliciting colleges to give up their fishing teams – picking up the slack for lazy, insensitive parents who raised their children to adore fried chicken, comic books, and thick steaks … … still, occasionally, they hatch a pretty good idea. This time [...]

If you’ve ever supervised others you understand how closely work resembles high school. Inkwells replaced by cubicles and communal refrigerators, pigtails a thing of the past, but the guy that dries his shoes in the microwave, or thumbs the donuts is a worthy substitute.

While we’ve taken great pains to illuminate dozens of devices to clear your riffle of unwanted interlopers, it’s time to spread some love to the stillwater crowd, how they no longer need to endure sand kicked in their sandwich by insensitive power boat Nazi’s …. If you’re getting sick from bobbing in other’s wake, and [...]

Six months ago, after a particularly dismal showing at the local shop, I’d resolved to enter the dubbing market utilizing all those techniques and foibles learned in youth, drummed into my head by [...]

-via R.M. Buquoi Photographics Which do you see? Three deer. One deer and two fawns. One deer, one fawn, and a mess of Dark Humpies? OK, don’t answer … See the last row clearly?
