Hey, I’m not a woman but I love fly fishing. I tie my own flies from feathers I find and other miscellaneous items like the hair our horse sheds in the spring or the clippings from when my wife gives my beard a trim and I wear those weird waders and often stand in the middle of a stream just like Wikipedia says. The catching of fish is pretty much secondary to the pleasure of being at one with the river. It’s my moment of zen. Also, that’s a good looking cat.
LOOOL, Stephen Dorff plays the obnoxious oldest brother of the Dummy family! and he just made a Beatles joke. I stopped there, it was not going to get any better 😆
I actually know how to fly fish. I was patiently instructed by an old one-armed man in Granby, Colorado, many, many moons ago. This is a useless skill here in Hawaii, however. Fishing here is done with big, heavy fishing poles on the ocean.
Your other pieces are interesting but disturbing. I will say it's always interesting to find early work by actors.
Wow, made it a whole seventeen seconds into that awful dummy thing, which is pretty good for me, especially considering it’s just another shitty three-camera sitcom, even without the puppet.
If you'd held out, you'd have discovered that the little girl who's a ripoff of the Olsen Twins has two brothers, the younger of the two who does a Stewie from Family Guy impersonation while the older brother is apparently dumber than the basketball he apparently carries with him everywhere.
If this hadn't been done in the 90's, I'd swear it was AI.
Flies for fishing are usually made of materials like feathers to simulate bug wings and legs. In the '80s a thing was to use bits of fabric from women's underwear, like tricot. Light, durable, easy to cut to shape. Fish do not stand a chance against such resourcefulness.
By far the most fascinating thing about fly fishing is the story of Edwin Rist, an American flute player studying music who broke into a British museum and made off with a million dollars worth of irreplaceable dead birds. I guarantee that anyone who listens to this episode will find it one of the most remarkable true stories they ever heard.
True enough; with the right fly—“matching the hatch”—and presentation, the efficiency becomes machine-like, and *almost* boring, until you hook up with a real hog, that is.
Yesterday I made a post about having to call an ambulance for a homeless old guy that passed out in front of my shop. Today I saw one of his buddies and asked how's your friend and he said he's OK, he saw him last night having a meal at the church. Said it was just dehydration that knocked him out.
Ta, Robyn. I don't fish (although there's a funny family story about the first fish I ever caught), and I don't want to watch horrifying videos this morning. Pride Shabbat at Orensanz Foundation was more sparsely attended than those in recent years, and NYC's parade is tomorrow. HAPPY PRIDE!
A Treatise of Fishing with an Angle is the earliest known English book on sport fishing, attributed to Dame Juliana Berners and published in 1496 as part of The Book of St. Albans.
Then there is 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘈𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦𝘳, by Izaak Walton, for whom Berners’ work was a source; first published in 1653, after the Bible and Shakespeare, it is one of the most reprinted books in the English language. 🎣
I’m definitely not knocking Bishop! I’ve lived in this general area since 1971, moved to Mammoth at the age of 19 to make my way in the world as a builder, which was a booming trade at the time. I moved to Big Pine 25 years later, then to Bishop. I had a condo right next to the fairgrounds, so I got my fill of the Mule Fools blowing their vuvuzelas at all hours of the day and night. I’m back in Big Pine now after a stint in Death Valley for work. Much more peaceful (and affordable!) here, but since our market closed we have to go shopping in Bishop anyway. As for Schat’s Bakery, they have stiff competition from Great Basin Bakery. Less touristy, and IYKYK.

Wunder Boner? What? Was the entire Marketing Department made up of twelve-year-olds?
DeBoneaire. It was right there.
You are wise.
The sophisticated fifteen-year-olds have entered the chat. Le giggle!
Waders are waist high boots, not thigh high. They are what those people trying to remove the algae from the Reflecting Pool are wearing,
Donnie's body man wears them when he changes Trump's diaper also, too.
Good morning from Hawaii, Robyn!

Just add Popeil's Pocket Fisherman to the Wunder Boner and you're all set.
Just don't ger your Wunder Boner caught in your Pocket Fisherman.

I might get one of those for my next road trip. It's getting to where I can't drive more than 90 minutes without making a pit stop.
For me the pit stops are a chance to walk around a bit.
Now if I were on a mission....

At least the one on 𝘈𝘭𝘧 wasn’t nightmare fuel.

Thank you for being there and caring.

That's Underdog lady from the Howard Stern Show!
Sweet Polly Purebred is the only Underdog Lady.
'xactly!
Would a larger version of the Wunder Boner work on mammals the weigh ~ 235 lbs and are ~ 6 feet tall?
If you're referring to politicians, they don't have a backbone anyway.
ZOMGDS is that an actual Receiver?

The booming metropolis of Bishop California has an Izaak Walton Park. I'm quite certain he never set foot here:

Don’t be knocking Bishop; besides Mule Days, it is home to Schat’s Bakery, which has the best damn chili cheese bread *EVER*.

Yes, remember to hydrate, but not with LaCroix; that stuff is nasty.
Sweet babby.
