Big E Tuna Trip - Page 8

Gentlemen, Gentlemen, the term is "decoupage". Now ordinarily, I don't correct anyone's spelling--especially Bret's since I am cultivating my friendship with that boy in order to hire him to throw MrBill overboard if we are ever on the same boat.

But in this case, it is important to stress the French spelling and pronunciation of the word. As insensitive, unsophisticated Americans, we are not worthy of of any claim to artistic sensibility--we have to look to the Europeans for that--along with just about everything else that is worthwhile--after all, didn't President Obama tell us that, instead of worrying about getting illegal aliens to speak English before we allow them to vote for him, we should all be learning a foreign language so the Europeans will approve of us?

We're not worthy! We're not worthy!

Thus when Uncle Russ wanted to show his vulnerable, artistic side, (in contrast to the grotesque, post-modern, concrete and fiberglass monstrosity concocted by Gunsmoke and MrBill (admittedly from their welfare checks,

) I turned to the French for inspiration. As a Poet once said:

"Oui, messieurs et mesdames (mais surtout les Dames), le POS decoupage est magnifique, énorme et monumental, juste comme les organes d'Oncle Russ reproducteurs."

Did you get to see the 11 pound trigger I caught?

your story is one reason i don't use newells for strong fish.

Actually, it was alot closer to the record than that. Ken's fish weighed in at 27.1 lbs. Darn close.

BretABaker · 08-07-2008, 06:33 PM

the fish from this past weekend? did they calibrate the scale and reweigh after i left?

I did remember Kenneth wieghing his fish twice. Maybe they went and shoved a couple of 16oz. lead weights in his mouth (haha). By then I was to tire from the sun beating down on me to care.

Hey Bret, since you live so close to the Big E, I'm suprised that you're not on it at least once a month. I think it's time for you to buy that 40' Viking and charter for us.
