How aboot this for the next shebang. Snoopy Pole Fencing! 30# to a 3" nerf basketball, max drag. Two logs 2'x1.5' [skinny] 35' apart. Each combatant wears identical bright & ugly tshirts with a large 'but on the front. Direct hit on the either but/t is an automatic win. Then, first to strike color 3 times wins. If someone casts so weakly that you can catch the line, you may try to pull your opponent off their log or Snoopy out of their hands [but if you break their line you lose] or throw their own lure back at them. If a person falls off a log, heh, loses pole or is struck by their own lure on color, they lose. Would be fun [esp to spectate - somebody bring a camcorder!] after a day's sea legs and cold pops!

Looks like you've been doing some reading up Chappy. Got any wolf links?

Maybe if we keep this flame thread going, all the others will be immune. In that light, have you seen the article about state legislatures' effort to criminalize dissent on issues about the environment?

Have you ever signed a petition in support of an environmental issue? Do you belong to or donate to the Sierra Club, Washington Trout, or Piscatorial Pursuits? Have you publicly protested some environmental issue? If legislation crafted and promoted by the ultra-conservative American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) becomes law, these fundamental rights of American citizenship could become illegal.

Will Peta kids start eating burgers for cover? Will the court buy our claim of "Everyone knows stories from fishermen are tall tales!"? If I fall out of the boat on a strike is it "ker-plunking"? So many questions...
Heh. </flame>
