Tom,

Actually, I didn't buy the Long Pens either as something "...to present to someone as a great 'thank you'" OR even to fish with. There were two reasons, actually that I bought two of them--the first was to serve as a class-3 flotation device in case the boat sinks--kind of like Mathew McConahey or whoever the hell it was clutching on to that piece of the Titanic before he froze to death and went belly up--and second, I wanted to be able to go up to Gunsmoke or MrBill, yell "Mine's bigger than yours is!" and haul out that Long Pen to compare to their Tuna Hunter Juniors.

I appreciate the complement, but I can't agree with you that I write a better thread than Gunsmoke or MrBill, though--there's something seriously disturbing about those fellows.

I'm not good at a whole lot, but one of the talents I think I have always had is that I can usually tell when someone is bull-shitting me. And the really, really, scary part is that I think those boys are usually, if not always, telling the truth.

Especially, Gunsmoke--think about that for a minute--if he actually did only 10 percent of what he claims, every state in the union would re-instate the electric chair.

Barack and Hillary have been getting themselves in trouble by the folks they associate with--the Reverend Wright, that dude from the weather underground, the Emir of Dubai, and...oh yeah, Bill Clinton. Just imagine what would happen if someone found out that Gunsmoke was one of their supporters--either would have to resign from the race in a heartbeat.
