No Chester, you need morals, ethics and integrity.

The facts are well documented, do you really want to deny them ?

i understand what you mean. but i have spent considerable time with the
man; fishing, and the before and after, and he was a boon companion.
something has happened, i think, to distort his message, and to take him
beyond the pale. i regret it.

What you see in certain light can distract from the overall picture. Like it or
not, what he(or any of us) "portray" here is a part of Who We Are.

and when are you gonna get your lanky ass down to the smokies? you

true enough, counselor....made it as far as the Eastern Shore of VA this
weekend, may drop in sooner than you think, one of these days.

i have fished for trout for the last 34 years, with more than a
little
success, knowing how to tie exactly one knot: the improved clinch.

Aw, shucks an' a cracklin' bread...shoo fly pie (just because, IMO,
sweet 'tater pie isn't either Southern OR sticky enough for THIS...which
is reaching out there big, brother, let me tell you...) and hush my
mouth...

Holyfuthermuckingawd! ROFF has become Ned Beatty gets it in the...fern

"Khum-ba-yajh" on a goddamned dulcimer and a little "Tennessee Flat

can't find the batteries, the KY, or whatever else you might need, be a

...and lest you think I'm a sexist, a misogynist, or even worse,
sensitive, hell, no, I'd **** the ugliest gal you could fi...well, OK,
no, I wouldn't even talk to her after a quart of JW Blue and a gross of
oysters, but, sure as ****, you produce any one of, or, several
supermodels, and I'll have them bowlegged within 24 hours....

And, hey, I'll apologize to one and all (including cyli, who at least
seems to have a pair): I'm deeply sorry that whoever cut off most of
y'alls balls didn't keep right on cutting...now all we need is ol' MC
lecturing about gentlemanly behavior...oh, wait, are you a nun?

Not quite, the scene in the cloning lab was like a three stooges flick.
They DNA from Eddie Murphy and Gomer Pyle got thrown in with Fortenberrys,
The results a foul mouth goober with an attituce.

You seem like an intelligent person to me, BJ, but this has been
bothering me for a long time: Is there something wrong with your
keyboard, or with your spell-checking software? Are you dyslexic? Or are
you just ****ing with us?

Occasionally you'll post something grammatical that's spelled perfectly.
More typically, it's something like above. I get your meaning, but the
style is uniquely you. What is going on?

How about posting a short bio (including your life's calling). I'm
really curious.

If you can find one there's a goodie called a duncan Tailknott'r that ties
3 or 4 kinds of knots and opens bottles. The guy who made it and sold it to
me at a fly fishing show could tie a dozen different knot in about 3
minutes. he was good, like one of those guys at the state fair that sell
food choppers or knives. It's kinda artsy, being shaped like fish. I saw
one recently in a catalog but I can't remember where.

spent way fu*&#$@ too much time last night trying to tie a blood know with
which to secure some new tippet to my leader, so i went in to see the nice
folks at appalachian angler today, to see if they might be of assistance.
the nice young man behind the counter spent about half an hour showing me
a
couple of different knots. we practiced with some threads, and then when
he
thought i might have the hang of it, he let me do the job with a double
surgeon's knot. I'm pretty sure that was the name of it. anyway, he
showed
me a couple of other knots, including a nail knot. i just hope i can
remember how to do them again when the time comes. he also tipped me off
on
how long my leader should be and how long my tippet should be, and showed
me
a nifty double loop kind of thing that allows changing leader with quite
so
much fuss. this knot tying stuff is not easy. he did show me a neat
little
knot tying tool. any recommendations for favorites?

Tell me how your spell checker works. Mine say's stooges should have been
stooge's and that attituce should have been attitude- it's dixlexic fingers
or typos. I don't spend a lot of time with this, I tried to answer
snakefiddlers comment just like i would have in a saloon. Can you refer me
to a style guide?

The way mine works is that when I misspell something (which is often),
it asks me if I want to correct it, and it gives me a list of
possibilities, from which I can choose. What a great invention that is.

Mine say's

Should be "says." That's not spelling -- it's grammar.

stooges should have been
stooge's

That was wrong. Grammar, again.

and that attituce should have been attitude-

That was right.

it's dixlexic fingers

dyslexic

or typos. I don't spend a lot of time with this, I tried to answer

I could, but I won't. I am not a grammar/spelling nazi. I usually
understand what you're saying, but sometimes you say it coherently while
more often you don't. That's what seems weird. Do you sometimes use a
friend's computer? :-)

Have you ever heard of proofreading?

You got the "treatment" from the usual ROFF newbie bashers when you
showed up, which was quite some time ago now. Some of them still seem to
hold grudges. You seem OK to me. Your malapropisms aren't so much
annoying as they are puzzling.

I've been thinking he's been a ringer since about day 4 of his
appearance. The grammar and spelling, in that case, would be
intentional. The sensible ones with most things correct, would be the
quickly slashed out ones where he forgot his persona.

We'll just have to see how many times I interject him into threads
after he's gone I guess.
