Cameron Mortenson of The Fiberglass Manifesto recently gave away a set of the Precious, for any stalwart willing to tie midges. A worthy contest, liable to bring the worst of a fellow’s character to the fore – what with inhaled fly hooks, gossamer tufts of unmentionables, and everything requiring a microscope to see the craftsmanship.

… and we were upstaged by a frog?

As Cameron also runs the Fishy Kid website, this had better not be the mascot for same – as a “fishy kid” should wail in anguish, refuse to eat, and turn the carpet damp with tears …

“No, Poppa … not the Scissors! (sniffle)”

… then again, a live Frog is pretty cool.
