Anyone who knows how many rods they own don't own enough rods!

You sir, are a man of knowledge.


But what is "enough?" Would we smirk if Petah bought a 14'6" 1wt spey rod?
Is that overboard?
I posit that one could never aquire enough rods. You sir, are rumored to
have at least eleven 4 weight rods. Do you look at more? Enough is never
enough.

rhetorical question, when does one have enough money? enough time?
enough sex? when is enough enough? only you can answer that for
yourself.

One never knows when one might need to toss a #22 griffins gnat 150'.
I personally smirk at anyone who buys a spey rod, my scottish friend
tried to convert me in '96 but it is not for me. My wonderful bride
bought me one a few years ago and its on permanent *loan* in OR while
the Kemen is on permanent loan with me. But if Petah wants a 14'6' 1
wt spey rod, it's his money and his way of enjoying the sport, so be
it.

Is that overboard?


One man's overboard is another man's dip in the lake to cool off.

Oh, now an then I look at another rod 4wt. Lust is as old as the human
race. But since I have enough problems servicing the 14 four weights I
have now, for now they will have to do.

Enough is never enough.


Except when it is enough.

Actually "smurf-casting rod" would be closer to the point.

Was? Hm......perhaps. Based on the evidence presented here, he IS
none of the above.......not even close.

Wolfgang
who, nevertheless, would be much surprised if some did not find him
so.

Wolfgang's in one of his periodic bitchy moods. Take a Midal, dude.


Shall I inform the IT department that they should be expecting
another email anon?


Oh. That was me. I just periodically send complaint emails to random
employers.


Well, yeah, I knew that, actually. I mean, we all knew that Stevie would
never do anything like that (I mean, he TOLD us so........right?), any more
than he would put the suggestion out there in the hope that someone else
might act on it, leaving his lily white (though admirably calloused.....and
dangerous looking) hands all Pilatian and ****. That's just not his style.
Stevie is an honorable (not to mention exquisitely manly) man. As history
clearly demonstrates, he scrupulously eschews anything as womanly as that.
No, no, no.......he for the direct, honorable, time honored masculine route
of simply thrashing (perhaps with the unneeded but nevertheless welcome
comaradely assistance of a score or so of rented friends from one of
Stanley's finer watering holes) an effeminate miscreant within an inch of
his (her?) worthless life. I mean, let us never forget what Stevie did to
Kennie at Yellowstone, ainna?!

For that matter, it seems to me quite likely that some girly-man effete
pointy-headed eastern snob Republican computer weenie is also a very likely
candidate for forging a bungled attempt at an insult based on a sly allusion
(via an oblique reference to menstrual troubles.....what our Teutonic
friends still refer to as the "Schweinerei") to a certain resemblance
between a known sissy gadfly and that lowest of God's creatures, that
despicable and unclean paragon of filth and degredation, that intellectually
barren cesspit of depravity, that lapsarian prototype and degenerate
stinkpot.......a woman!

Of course, what with education and all, that sort of thing doesn't really
garner the sort of near universal approbation it once did, but given the
predilections of the audience for whose admiration it is offerred here in
ROFF, we'd have to say that whoever it was, it ranks among his finest work
ever, eh?

Still, those of us in touch with our feminine sides (and who wouldn't be if
they cou......um......well, never mind about that) can't help but feel that
boys like you are icky. :(

An ounce of prevention, wot?


True, true, one can't have too much prophylaxis in this day and age.

Sorry for any inconvenience.


Tut, tut, think nothing of it.

I have no control over 'tripper and Stan. Why don't you be a *real man*
and accuse them of this directly?

It's a nice touch. You don't mind if I plagiarize that sometime.
