o.k......well......so, what do i do now?

Looks like suicide is your only way out.


What means would you recommend?

Wolfgang


Draw a tub of warm water a little above body temperature. Take three
aspirin. Get into the tub. Open and drink a bottle of your favorite
red wine. Open the veins in your wrists and enjoy the slow transition
as you fade from consiousness.


I do that about once a week.



You'll enjoy it almost as much as the rest of us.


I enjoy it much more than you can imagine. However, it has thus far
failed to produce the ultimate effect you've got in mind. Got anything
else?


If you even fail at suicide, there's not much hope you can succeed at
anything.


You probably won't believe this, but there's at least one thing I do
pretty well.


You're absolutely right. I won't believe it.

Yeah, I knew that. I said that. But, as is clear to any competent reader,
it's indisputable......ainna?

Wolfgang
it went zip when it moved, bop when it stopped, and whir when it stood
still.........

Uh, are you assuming I will apologize to Wolfgang and Barnard?

Don't take any bets in that direction. You'll lose.

You've been there and done that.

Tim, you owe me 12 large, and I'd like my money, please...don't make
me send Darth up for some, er, skeet...

Our firm is still holding all bets waiting for the proper shoe to drop.
We will notify winners in due time. . . probably within 24 hours of the
event to make sure the story is accurately reported. ;-)

Might even bring along one of my own. Starting to get the bamboo jones.
Would an old Granger be a good place to get my feet, so to speak, wet?


An old granger would be fine as a start, provided you like the action. Don't
get a bamboo just to get a bamboo.

Which reminds me, can you make a rod? A few years back I bought a bunch of
rod building stuff from a friend who was trying to go into competition
shooting, in the stuff was what was described as a south bend 4wt cane
blank. I've never gotten around to learning the craft and I'll make you (and
you alone) a deal on the blank if you're interested.

Here come da judge! Yep, those should certainly make the trip. Perhaps I
can liberate a few of the vintage gems as well.

If you've not done so, read Laughing Whitefish. It's not about fishing but
an enjoyable read.

Speaking of, it's about that time of year when I read the chapter about
opening day trips. Note to self.

Between now and the last weekend in April (Michigan opener) I will re-read
Anatomy of a Fisherman. no particular reason other than it must be done.

Yeah, yeah, hey at least when Clinton shot somebody in the
face she didn't have to go to the hospital.


if that wasn't pilfered, it's brilliant and funny. if it is from
another source...uh, it's still brilliant and funny.

It has been reported in the media and mentioned in this thread when
Mr. Cheney got his license. I believe that would be like maybe
November? The link to the citation mentioned a warning was in order.
But as the law and order types like to say, ignorance is no excuse for
the law or some such.

Hey, you'll get no argument from me if your premise is that Cheney
****ed up in this. OTOH, the "HE SHOT SOMEONE!" coverage is pretty
chicken****, and the lack of the new stamp is REALLY nonsense - this
has been going on all season, and as such, the wardens aren't even
issuing cites...ever known a departmental wildlife department to beg
off cites across the board, _as an overall policy_, and _on species
stamp/licensing requirements_ right across-the-board?

Actually, Cheney's lack of response is pretty chicken****. What the man
needs to do is stand up, apologize, admit his embarassment, and donate a
reasonable chunk of change to hunter education programs in Texas.

He does? Why? The only person to whom he almost certainly owes an
apology is Whittington. And I understand he has done so, and
Whittington accepted some responsibility. I also understand that
Whittington has said "no comment" and "no comments forthcoming." These
are men who willingly and jointly engaged in an activity that has its
risks and there was an accident - it is between them, barring any
evidence of intentional or willfully negligent misconduct. Neither of
them owe you, me, or anyone else an apology, an explanation, a donation,
or even a comment about the incident at this point.

R

uh...the veep shoots someone in an obvious private hunting accident and
you think he doesn't owe an explanation or comment to anyone except the
poor fella he shot? c'mon, even in nc, texas, oklahoma, louisiana,
....and iowa...that dog won't hunt.

jeff (who thinks it was a simple accident, unnecessarily complicated by
simple arrogant self-interest - but, if the guy dies from the pellet,
it's simply akin to involuntary manslaughter))
