Your getting very good at this tap dancing on your dick routine.
Having Dougie as a mentor and role model is paying off quickly.


How clever of you to get so much amusement mileage out of so
flimsy a conceit. Or are you just being lazy ?

FWIW, mikeb is a long time lurker, occasional poster and
someone with whom I correspond once a year when he comes to
Champaign-Urbana for a statewide high school competition.
His home, Carbondale, Illinois is surrounded by Shawnee
National Forest and more good bluegill, bass and crappie
water than you can shake a stick at. He's a guy you might
want to cultivate as a fly fishing friend and he's not someone
who deserved the full-fledged wisenheimer treatment, and yes
I am fully aware that coming from me that sounds a lot like pot,
kettle, black.

isn't it amazing how the fact that one actually has met, or engaged in
civil, personal communication, colors the manner in which one responds to
any given poster?

wayno (like, let me assure you that if i had never *met* you, i would, by
now, have sent a letter bomb to chambana)

OK, OK, I get it. I embarrassed you by the purity of my soul and
all the milk of human kindness coursing through my veins. Not to
worry, it's not gonna happen all that often. ;-)

Good. My keyboard couldn't put up with it too often. ;-)

Mileage? You call that mileage?

Or are you just being lazy ?


Born that way.......hope to die so......maybe......some day.

FWIW, mikeb is a long time lurker, occasional poster and
someone with whom I correspond once a year when he comes to
Champaign-Urbana for a statewide high school competition.
His home, Carbondale, Illinois is surrounded by Shawnee
National Forest and more good bluegill, bass and crappie
water than you can shake a stick at.


A. It ain't worth all that much. B. Your correspondence, such as it is,
is of little interest to me. I dare say that I am not alone in this world.
C. Not that one has reason to suppose that anyone cares what Carbondale may
or not may be surrounded by, but I already knew that. D. I know many a
pond within an hour's drive that holds more bluegill than I have thus far
been able to shake a stick at........wouldn't know about bass or crappie.
E. So?

He's a guy you might want to cultivate as a fly fishing friend


Goes without saying, and thus, I won't bother to mention that you need not
have bothered.

and he's not someone
who deserved the full-fledged wisenheimer treatment,


Ah! Someone who has not yet benefitted from the dawning realization of who
his friend really is, eh? Well, there is time yet.

and yes
I am fully aware that coming from me that sounds a lot like pot,
kettle, black.


By now, it should be clear even to you that by now, nobody much cares what
you may or may not be aware of.

Wolfgang
you makes your bed and then........um.......how does the rest of that go?

Au contraire, there is somewhere out there in cyberspace a gruesome
little gnome who will not only thoroughly peruse each and every one
of my missives but will also take the time to insert nasty remarks
and annotations in most of them. And don't you think for one minute
that I don't appreciate it. ;-)

I included what I wrote before in order to give you another shot at reading
and understanding it. Good luck.

Wolfgang
bets, anyone?

You're forgetting the first rule of finding yourself in a hole
WAY over your head. Again.

Of course. But, as you know, your fans* will have no clue as to what you
are talking about. Please describe that hole for them......go on, I dare
you.
