Save the Environment Use Bamboo!

Everyone but Barnard knows that a good cane rod is more forgiving to
the caster's imperfections, is a better fish fighting tool, and most
are made by skilled craftsmen or hobbyist with a love for transforming
pieces of grass into a fine fishing tool. So what if they might a
little more and cost a little more. What's a little extra weight and
saving your pennies weighted against the gains to the environment? Even
ROFF's number 1 penny pincher took the plunge last year and ordered
one!

While you're at it, you should drive to your fishing spot in a Model T
and use horsehair leaders. :-)

Damn, I got cash from "disposing" my popup camper today. If the wiff
wasn't
gonna be outta work for 3 months, I would gladly pay to paw through your
collection. 'Sides, I got dibs on a couple of those worthless pieces of
future lightbulb filaments.


The rule is man sells toy, man can use proceeds to buy other toys.

My wife's been out of work since 1997, you ain't gotta pay her commuting and
work clothing costs, she can iron your dress shirts and make you a sack
lunch. And since she's not going to "work" she can have you a fine meal
ready when you get home, saving money on going out to eat. No more double
paying for Social Security and Medicare Taxes, plus the savings on the
income tax. Hell she could never go back to work and you'll be better off.

23 years in the Air Force and I can count on one hand the number of shirts
my bride has ironed for me. And if she quit working, Nordstroms would go
out of business. Right now, I'm doing all the "fine meals," and the
shopping (just found a Seal-a-Meal on clearance at Target for 25 bucks). I
think I'll put her back to work. Bad enough I can't get employee discounts
at Bass Pro anymore.

North Carolina is just too pretty a state to pollute it with excess
plastic.
This ain't some high faluting utility where you can increase your
environmental damage by lessening mine.

Uh, Wayne. I'm right next to New Jersey. I think we can handle some more
bourbon blight.

well, now that you mention it, they do go well with graphite...


I am just appalled that a fellow liberal fly fisherman who claims to care so
much for the environment would stoop so low as attempt to foster the spread
of such dangerous plastic pollutants all in the name of acquiring more fly
rods.

Just think how cool it would be to cast a parachute adams into a chute on
hazel, feeling that rod load as your back cast unfolds, moving forward from
the brief pause and watching the line unfold and dropping that little fly
gently upon the water with just enough mend to meander dragless in the pool.
Tempting a native appalachian brookie to feast upon the fly and to feel the
fish tug on the line all the way down to the cork.

Do it man, save the world and get some cane. Your life will never be the
same.

Sorry Frank, I'm into spreading single malt blight, I use bourbon in my BBQ
sauce and steak marinade.

Actaully... I was going to suggest a disposal fee on your side as
by the time I ve finished with them we ll all be paying some big
landfill disposal fees, tho being a nice guy I m willing to waive
them MT

Being the peach of the guy I am, I'll waive the disposal fee in exchange for
a couple of fine side by side shotguns a kemen o/u (20G) and a short hair
pointer (trained). In the spirit of helping the environment, these too will
eventually degrade.
