Your assessment of canoes is correct. Your observation on kick boats is not.
And as you did not state this was your opinion I assume you are putting the
statement forward as fact, which it is not. There are far too many fishing
situations were a canoe may be asthetically pleasing but completely
impractical and more than a little difficult to fish from.

Overall the statement indicates the qualities of the fisherman. Elitist.

BTW, since you appear to be a canoeist, unless you happen to own a hand
built, solid wood, classic Old Towne your statement is way off base and your
just a canoe wannabe.

Ah, yet another past master of yada blah whatever, come to raise the
natives out of the stygian squalor of their hard won ignorance and oh
so poor taste!

Your wrong about kennie......he isn't so much a "canoe wannabe" as a
real boy wannabe. That said, you'd better buckle up, Yoghurt, it's
likely to be a bumpy ride.

Nah, nothing so ambitious. I just can't stand ignorant statements. In a
later post I believe KF fessed up to having never fished from a kick boat,
making his blanket declaration all the more offensive.

He sure started an interesting thread though, eh?

And as for my sig? Every extra penny my friend.

I thought you said you had lurked for some time? Either you don't remember
things well or you haven't lurked as much as you say.

OMFG.

I would rather drink beer with an expat Southern CA conservative in a
liberal college town beer mecca than try to respond to this.

There was a time when I would respond to the newbie nitwits but
anymore I'm with you Stan.

Just got back from the niece's wedding in Asheville, North Cackalacky.
Fished Flat Laurel Creek on Friday, TR and pics coming soon.

Life must be very hard for you.

Offensive? You found that offensive? Life is going to be very hard
for you.

He sure started an interesting thread though, eh?

No. The pathologies that some bring to it are interesting enough. The
thread itself is nothing special.

And as for my sig? Every extra penny my friend.

I'm not your friend......and whatever the hell it is you're trying to
say......well, one feels safe in assuming that comprehensibility
wouldn't make it any more interesting.

If you *have been lurking* then you would know about Ken's canoe skills and
inventory. You would also know about how he feels about elitism.

And no Seinfeld, fat maybe but I don't get obscene amounts of money to be
able to look up Sharon Stone's skirt.

Ken has demonstrated canoe skills on ROFF? That one slipped past me
somehow, and I think I pay fairly close attention. I can't even imagine
how anyone could do such a thing, let alone Ken.

You would also know about how he feels about elitism.

Against his own self interest, he's for it.

Mmmmm. . . beer (I wish I could drink some). And *which* liberal college
town beer mecca?
