FE Thomas Cane Fly Rod on EBay

[John Loven]

FE Thomas Bamboo Fly Rod 7' 4" 2 piece on EBay

This rod came from my father-in-law's estate. It has the original tube, no
bag, and 2 tips. The rod is straight and the wraps are good. One tip is full
length but missing the tip guide. The second tip is broken off about 5" from
the end.

The rod lacks the normal FE Thomas markings on the butt. Jack Mickievich,
noted fly-tyer, examined the rod and opined that the rod was built after
Thomas' death by his shop, using a FE Thomas-made blank, but assembled and
finished by others.

Note to Warren:

This is a perfect example of what is acceptable under the "one time"
exemption.

Out and out SPAM is NEVER acceptable.

You're only saying that because it's a bamboo rod. If he were selling a
KPOS or a box of Fish Pimps (the best indicator on the market), you'd be
all over him like flies on ****.

It's "stink on ****", not "flies on ****". I sweartagawd some of you
wannabes should be required to pass Similes 101 before posting here.

So, does that make you a simile sitter as well as a net nanny?

I am a Grammar and Insult Coach, a Metaphor and Simile Consultant
(send email for pricing information), and SPAM Kop Plenipotentiary,
(no charge for that, I do it as a public service).

That tantamounts to insulting us all.

Say what ? Let me guess, English isn't your native tongue and you'd
like an opinion on which salad dresing to use.

On a tantamounts salad, I'm just guessing here, try Thousand Island
and let us know how it works out.

An invented phrase seemed to call for an invented word, do you think I
just fell off the tulip truck?

Whatever blows your dress up Chas, but some of my good friends
are turnips and I rather doubt they'd appreciate the insult.

I suppose you hang around with a bunch of vegetables because they don't
object to your insults.

"Like flies on ****" is a pretty standard simile, but I should have
figured you be all over it like a hobo on a ham sandwich.
