is in full swing. We have several generous donors but we could always

You can send your flies to riverman , or... you can buy what you
would like to have sent to riverman, he

Or, if you'd really like to help:

www.stjude.org - St. Jude's

or

www.msf.org -- Medecins Sans Frontieres

or

www.somethingthatwillreallyhelp.whatever - Roll Yer Own

you don't need an account to shop, but it does save some time to fill
one out the form. Use the above URL in any event, to get started.

Once you have a basket of flies, proceed to checkout, fill in the info
as needed, it's your basic shopping basket stuff...near the end, a
box will show : "Redeem Coupons"...enter the word - school.

The appropriate discount will be taken at checkout and your order
will be flagged for rivermans endeavor only...all of the orders and
their contents so marked, will be sent to him when he asks for them.

If you would rather just send funds, contact me off list and we will
make arrangements. This option has been popular to date.
You can find my email addy is in the above store...

Whoa...let's recap...we've got a guy in HK at a school which can afford
to kit out the class at LL Bean (but their teacher can't figure out how
to label those rods and reels...) and whose parents or school or
whomever can afford to fly those kids for a week of FFing in NZ, and
you're already had several generous donors, but yet, you're asking for
more _donations_ for flies for this group?!

If that about sums it up, let me be as clear as possible:

**** YOU, **** YOUR FLY SUBSIDY, AND **** MYRON

Why don't you try and raise a little coin for kids who might be have
sorta wanted to, oh, I don't know, eaten in the last week or had
received what is, for such fortunates, a pocket-change worth of medicine
(you know, about the retail cost of a fly or two...) that might save
their lives...

Again, if that about sums it up, just so we're clear:

**** YOU, **** YOUR FLY SUBSIDY, AND **** MYRON

Any questions?

...some kids' "wish list" includes stuff like food...with as few flies
as possible...


doesn't the all that froth and foam make the keyboard slippery?

Not since I've gotten the Mainway Toys' "Bag O' Keyboard"...now, if I
could just find a way to keep the Rosie's-ass-shakin'-induced Martini
barf out of the trackball...

IAC, since my recap stands unquestioned, let me be clear, frothless,
foamless, and amazingly slipperyless:

**** YOU, **** YOUR FLY SUBSIDY, AND **** MYRON

That shouldn't be nearly as hard to understand as flyrod labeling
techniques...or do you have some real deal on multicolored Avery labels
and Sharpies to hawk...

And there you are,
R

Tye me some flies.. mouth... and I will send them to some kids here in
Northern California that learn to fly fish between chemo treatments.
better yet, why don't you volunteer to teach them how to tye flies...
then you'd see some real barf....not your cheap Martini induced wanta
be slime. I mean real, 5-fluorouracil burned barf. And you have the
hair to telling me about kids and pain..**** you I help when I can
and how I can.
you can kiss my ass, or... send some flies...mouth

I don't need to travel to California to help children, but if you
provide me with info on the children's charity of which you speak, I'll
be happy to consider adding it to the list, although I will say that
while I have the utmost sympathy for _any_ child going through _any_
traumatic illness, there is only so much one person can do and I prefer
helping where it's needed most, first. As to helping sick kids, you
have no idea of which you speak, but here's a hint: it might occur to
even a casual reader that someone who has some passion about the whole
subject - you know, foaming and frothing and all - might well have that
passion for a reason.

IAC, even if I liked to hunt sick kids with Dick Cheney and John Kerry,
it still doesn't change the fact that what you are doing is no more than
SPAM and doing it for kids that apparently don't need it. AFAIK, you
didn't instigate it, but you certainly jumped on board, and are now
promoting it. And if your pitch had been for sick children who couldn't
afford gear, you might have had my help, and you would have certainly
had my respect, but I've never seen you mention any such charity - which
is not to say you have not - on ROFF. And your replies thus far make me
all the more certain in saying:

**** YOU, **** YOUR FLY SUBSIDY, AND **** MYRON

And for me, that about does it,
R
