HAHAHA You should be calling that last one Bad Hair Day! Or maybe Sideshow Bob (you know the crazy guy in the Simpsons, it kinda looks like his hair). I like it!

i can relate to what your saying and i love your attitude...........however i don't have a frickin' clue as to whomever that simpson's charactor is.............i never did relate to the simpson's..........other than the fact that for me, it represented why this country is in the toilet. When you have a poulation that thinks bull**** like that is funny OR entertaining...........it's time to put your (as a country), head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye. excluding you of course.....the simpson's is for MORONS..........and if your real nice, i'll tell you how i really feel..... .....

Willowhead, Howdy;

Seems like I posted that joke about the white Officers with colored Privates a bit too soon ...

Man, that IS one Gauwdey Fly.... Purrrrdy, colorful, makes a wounderful memory. Will probably catch some decient fish as well.

That aint for catchin' "decient" fish........that's for catchin' dead presidents.

Well Mark you're talking at someone who had teenage boys not that long ago. There's some things you need to keep up on when you have teenagers. Maybe if YOU'RE real nice I'll tell you the story about the time we had the TALK before they went to their first boy/girl parties. Let me just say I believe in tellin' it like it is!

Well Vicki, under circumstances like that.......i sure as heck hope you emphasized DE DIFF! when it came to that point in the converstaion bout "Good & Better!"

[kanutripr]

Well there was some very frank conversation involved about drinking alcohol and having s*x and not being stupid and mixing the two as part of the conversation. I figure why not tell it like it is, there's more impact that way. Anyway that was part of the discussion and there were red faces at the end of it and IT WASN'T MINE! So beware, you may hear things come from this end you're not expecting and usually there is no malice intended!

Refreshing, indeed.

That's good advice you gave them Vicki.....make sure they know your baby-sitting rates are $100 an hour. ........OH! payed in advance

i don't know what the hell got into me tonight.........but i've started a fly on the single most expensive hook i've ever bought. It's a Ron Reinhold William Bartleet E Victorian Finish Gold Lable 10/0. i paid $60 for it a year and a half ago, at the Ellensburg, WA. FFF show.....and i've been saving it.....for.....hell, i dunno.....which is exactly why i decided to just tye one on it. What the heck........i mean, if i drop dead or never wake up again.........at least i'll have made an attempt. i'm tryin' to go slow and get everything right.....it's a bitch. So far, i'll i have is the tag (gold holographic), tail (3 CDC feathers, olive, green, & yellow), butts (yes there are two ), the main portion of the body (which is a bead), and the eye (gut provided by Feathers Mc).....later
4 hours into it, and now i have a sorta half throat/half Spey hackle type a deal which is made from the tip of an Argus Pheasent tail feather, the front portion of the body (which is five blended colors of Arizona dubbing), and some added Spey hackle Marabou type a deal.....now i'm workin' on the wing.....which i'm hoping will be a matched pair of Macaw feathers........we'll see. We need an icon with sweat drippin' off a forhead.........
Well, 6 hours into the fly and i have the wing on, and a crest over top of it.....once again (the crest), i used another tail feather tip from an Argus Pheasent.....currently i'm deciding wether or not to put cheeks on the fly, etc., etc.
Whew! 7 and a half hours since i started the fly and it's pretty much fnished.....i still have to do the head coats...........for whatever reason i left off any type of cheeks or sides or shoulders or any of that stuff. Just a very austear wing.....but i kinna like it like that. We'll see how the head comes out..........................major yawn...........
