What stoketh thee...

Haven't done any fly fishing for about 10 years. Fossils fish stories prompted me to buy a cheap flyrod setup to take to the Olympics this weekend. Coho and trout mostly.

"running down the road with a pistol in your hand, waanoo, you are the babylon"

[bluesilver]

Reminds me of one of Jack Handey's "Deep Thoughts"

"One day I'd like to make the President a big chocolate gun. Then I'd wrap it in tinfoil to preserve it. But the President is real busy, so I'd probably have to run up to him real quick with it and give it to him."
or something like that..
then there is:

"Probably to a shark about the funniest thing is a wounded seal, trying to swim to shore...beacuase where does he think HE'S going?"

"I'd like to see a nature film where an eagle swoops down and pulls a fish out of a lake, and then maybe he's flying along, low to the ground, and the fish pulls a worm out of the ground. Now that's a documentary."

"If you're a cowboy and you're dragging a guy behind your horse, I bet it would really make you mad if you looked back and the guy was reading a magazine. "

"Broken promises don't upset me. I just think, why did they believe me? "

"If your friend is already dead, and being eaten by vultures, I think it's okay to feed some bits of your friend to one of the vultures, to teach him to do some tricks. But only if you're serious about adopting the vulture. "

"If you go to a costume party at your boss's house, wouldn't you think a good costume would be to dress up like the boss's wife? Trust me, it's not. "

"For mad scientists who keep brains in jars, here's a tip: why not add a slice of lemon to each jar, for freshness? "

"Somebody told me how frightening it was how much topsoil we are losing each year, but I told that story around the campfire and nobody got scared. "

"Folks still remember the day ole Bob Riley came bouncing down that dirt road in his pickup. Pretty soon, it was bouncing higher and higher. The tires popped, and the shocks broke, but that truck kept bouncing. Some say it bounced clean over the moon, but whoever says that is a goddamn liar. "

HaHa I love that kind of humor

I don't understand you liberals. Your so uptight. I think everything has humor in it.

Today, the Dr. was looking at the tumor in my throat using ultrasound. At the end, she asked me if I had any questions.

I asked, "so is it a boy, or a girl, doc"

she laughed, lol

Going up is insane too
So scary/fun on a motorcycle!
I've ran it in a car as well-
and sat shotgun with somebody who scared the living sh!t out of me in an old mini- Cooper race car.

A few years back, we pushed for a sanctioned race there on the bikes, but the board said it was too dangerous.

Cars still run it though.

I consider myself lucky to have done it. And lived.

we've been having a lot of bear activity out here on the coast. a variety of factors, notably a late berry ripening season and a lot of area residents feeding the bears, have drawn black bears into much less reclusive habits. barns and garages have been ripped into, garbage tipped and strewn in neighborhoods, and large facilities like schools and camps have had to put in bear-proof containers for the cans. Add to that mix a sanitary service that refuses to change it's ways, and you have bears being killed.
The Job Corps has had ODFW/OSP put down two bears because they were in the habit of baraaging through the campus, unresponsive to lights, air horns, or people. 200 kids and wild animals is seldom a good mix...
I have learned a lot about black bears and their habits, and have tracked and followed the bears now for several weeks. I could've shot the largest, but it would've been unethical and cruel, not to mention illegal, she has cubs less than 16 months old.
Anyway, the night staff is on high alert. they check the campus from truck or van, after a few too many times coming around the corner with a flashlight to find a bear standing on it's hind legs...

So today i got a 10' piece of T1-11, and cut out a 10' tall bear silhouette, complete with cartoonish fangs, claws, and a light up red glowing eye. Tonight I will prop it up on the "bear trail" that the night staff always checks by pulling up and turning on their headlights...

unethical to kill a bear, but you'll scare a human to death?
i like your style. let us know how it works out.
(but you know they'll blame the bears for that too...)

A free pass to see Britt Dainels and Built to Spill tonight! Thank you Nike.

Guess I will get a little slice of MFNW after all despite not having the cash for a wrist band this year!

I'm officially a wimp.

that IS kinda cool. you must meet some pretty interesting folk in your biz whatever it is that you do. i'm stoked on whatever it is that you do. and i'm stoked that crazy fkrs are out there walking around just because. and that my thirteen year old is begging to be at the skatepark and my wife spied on him and he's actually skating and not just impressing the girls. maybe one day he'll be blogging from bfe and doing crazy stuff just because. it's the circle of life.
