Finally.....
 
..... I have to get a new pair of G3s. Yes, after more than 450 hard
days of fishing, slippery rocks and deadly dead falls, after
approximately 450 falls, slips, and slides, I need a new pair of G3s.
Oh, they aren't for me; mine are like new except for looks and smell.
The new G3s are for my lovely bride Joanne. Jo, the heart-breaker of
southern gentlemen, has finally acquiesced to my wishes and will
retire from her Executive Director position with Verizon's Wireless
Division. Finally, a fishing parter I can cuddle up with, who doesn't
smell horrible, smoke cigars, or get drunk.

To Joanne,

You deserve a damned big medal for putting up with HIM :-)

Go catch some big fish for him to clean.

Congrats to the child bride, though the geek world is loosing a great
mind. Enjoy it, both of you.

Uh-huh...only an status-symbol-seeking idiot would buy G3s, as Simms themselves
says they aren't anything more than merely adequate waders. A quick look at
Simms' own advertising says the NEW! G4's are the only wader that any
self-respecting stumbleklutz****sport would allow anywhere near their kit. My
guess is that they'll find out you're the retired idiot married to a
soon-to-be-former ED trying to buy such pedestrian dross and call her a
divor...HEY! jeffie - have you made sure that you're on Simms' speed-dial list?
IAC, I guess _wannabe_ self-respecting stumbleklutz****sports buy such outdated
crap and kid themselves about how good their outdated crap really is...

HTH,
R

....and those $100USD or so Hodgman's that I use to duck hunt and on the bayous
have been through **** that would have reduced those G3s to little more than a
colander...or reduced a half-assed math teacher in Chinkland to wet-butt tears
(hey, as long as we're trolling...)

....and BTW, congrats to y'all...

for years now, i've been sending jo my blue-light special bulk mailing
of ez-divorce-r-us offerings. reckon i'll have to add a new paragraph
addressing this latest indignity. ;)

....i originally had a pair of $100+ hodgman's...might be ok in winter
while sipping bourbon in a duck blind, but in the carolina summer of
freestones, rhodos, and brambles, they were hot as hell and leaky.
stream seep mixed with sweat created a funky odor in them that not even
a diet of cabbage and sausage could yield.

jeff (i fart in your general direction.)

Rick's right you know. With the introduction of the G4
as the state of the art wader, the G3 became overnight
a good quality wader for the budget conscious angler. ;-)

And congrats on Jo's retirement.
