is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though
checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who
neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray
twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat."

"...I would bee loath to pay him before his day. What needs I be so forward
with him, that call's not on me? Well, 'tis no matter, Honor pricks me on.
But how if Honour pricke me off when I come on? How then? Can Honour set
too a legge? No: or an arme? No: Or take away the greefe of a wound? No.
Honour hath no skill in Surgerie, then? No. What is honour? A word. What
is that word Honour? Ay A trim reckoning. Who hath it? He that dy'de a
Wednesday. Doth he feele it? No. Doth he heare it? No. Is it insensible
then? yea, to the dead. But wil it not liue with the liuing? No. Why?
Detraction wil not suffer it, therfore Ile none of it. Honour is a meere
Scutcheon, and so end my Catechisme."

I'm sorry to say that the piece is woefully short on fishing details.
What was he fishing for? What was he using? Bait? Lures of some sort?
What kind of rod and reel was he using? Was he a clueless bozo or an
experienced fisherman? Sheesh!

Theodore Roosevelt

That's one of Roosevelt's most misleading popular quotes. He loved
personal glory (viz. San Juan Hill) and rhetorical bombast, but in his
foreign policy he was always mindful of the risks that accompany
"glory." Aside from an insurrection in the Phillipines that he inherited
from McKinley, he lost not a single American life in combat. Teddy
suffered from the prejudices of his age, and he was aggressive by
nature, but he was guided, ultimately, by reason and intellect. In his
foreign policy he was a peacemaker (Nobel Peace Prize for negotiating an
end to the Russo-Japanese War), and domestically he was a trust buster,
looking out for the public good over private interests. By any
reasonable standard of today's politics, he was left of center.

The article mentions a fly but it sure doesnt look like he was fly
fishing to me!!! The x ray shows a swivel with what appears to be a
very large weight, about 1.5 times the size of the swizel attached to
the swivel. This huge weight, about 1-1.5 inches long and about as
round as his eye, is what is inside him.

Nope. Not so much as a single word about a fly in the entire article.

but it sure doesnt look like he was fly

Considerably more perceptive than your first observation........um......or
maybe it's more observant than your first perception......hm.......

the swivel.

Um......huh?

This huge weight, about 1-1.5 inches long and about as

Well, there may be all sorts of things inside him but, if the text of the
article is to be given any credence, the fishing weight that was in his eye
socket was removed some time before 12:31 GMT on Thursday. And whatever it
is you're seeing may indeed be as round as his roughly globular
eye.......but the weight that seems to have been the immediate cause of his
discomfort is anything but.

O.k.

However, there still wasn't anything in that article about fly fishing. The
object still doesn't look particularly round. You still don't seem to know
who you are.....

and unless you're in jolly olde England, wot?.......you still seem to be
having a bit of trouble with your singular and plural parts of speech.

On the other hand, since you'll never see this, I guess it really doesn't
matter, eh?

I plonked him a long time ago, but some asshole always comes along and
replies to his posts and then the whole exercise is moot.

Yeah, I know what you mean. They do things like reply leaving the entirety
of the previous plonked poster pointedly present.
