There was a man in Anacortes named Jim Whose gal told him his wood was too slim. He discovered fatwood And lit her fire so good That she now thinks he’s bursting with vim. Sorry, just couldn't stop myself...... ;)

Ha, ha - you're kidding, right? ;) Classic scene from one of my favorite movies (ironically, not a comedy):

Beulah - fly fishing (check), PNW (check, based in OR), "B" (check). A little old-timey, but some of those are coming back in style..... Best wishes on your impending arrival!

These science guys are talkin bout bringing these critters back from extinction. Some folks are scared, but I say BRING ‘EM ON! Tigers??? They look like DOGS, and I’m gonna show them who’s the TOP DOG around here. I’ll make’em remember why they were EXTINCTED in the first place!!!! Apologies to...

Your memory is a little off - it actually happened at the Newport (RI) Folk Festival in 1965 (here's the first song of his "electric" set): I was going to post this before I saw your post, as I grew up in RI and it was always fascinating to me that there was such a negative response to what...

When I saw yesterday that Gary Wright (of "Dream Weaver" fame) passed away, it prompted me to go and watch this, which I had stumbled on a few years ago. Though I was never a big fan of synthesizer-based music, this song rocks - catchy riff, and the back-up singers banging on cowbell and...

An older gentleman was driving down the highway on his way to Home Depot when his cell phone rang. Answering, he heard his wife's voice urgently warning him, "George, I just heard on the news that there's a car going the wrong way on I-90. Please be careful!" "Hell," said George, "It's not just...

You can build a whole boat out of this stuff - your little ding should be a piece of cake..... :)

Nice going! Here in NJ, those hickory shad are called "Jersey tarpon" (though there've been reports of real tarpon being caught occasionally, including one up on Cape Cod recently). Lots of fun to catch, although I haven't found them yet this season.

The news today about Pee Wee Herman's death made me think of this. Catchy song, funny video:

Heard about the so-called "Typewriter Tape" a couple of years ago. It got released last year. Here's one of the cuts (recorded in 1964):

A little snack, direct from the wilds of NJ. Mix of blueberries, black raspberries, blackberries and red raspberries, all ripe for the picking right now:

I thought the polar opposite of Cattle Decapitation (musically and thematically at least) might be this, by another group with sort of a bovine name. Just to lighten things up for those like me who found the preceding just a little too heavy :):

In keeping with the season :):

In my experience, porpoising risers are usually (but not always) taking spent spinners. That may be why they're ignoring the duns (the duns are a tougher target because they will be lifting off soon). It also fits with your observation that the porpoising fish were seen a couple of days after...

First cup of my morning coffee. Thinking OMJ would have secretly loved to see what everyone has written about him in the other thread, but in typical OMJ fashion would have posted a comment scolding @Jojo for not tagging that thread "NFR"...... :)

I only had a couple of interactions with OMJ, but he reminded me of one of my uncles – gruff at times but funny, and a generous person at heart. He shared his humor and his knowledge with us (from a general standpoint in public, and it seems that in private he was quite open with sharing...

RIP, Gary Rossington.... I've heard this song a hundred times, and it just struck me today how this song sounds less like Southern rock and more like grunge (10-15 years before that was a genre), especially the tempo. I could easily imagine a Pearl Jam version.....

And now, back to our regular programming..... Two friends are walking their dogs together. One has a big black lab, while the other has a minuscule chihuahua. They pass a bar and the lab owner says, "Let's get a beer." The chihuahua walker complains, "That would be great, but we can't take our...

Ok, guess I'll reveal my child (literally) of the 60s background. I was just a kid during the 60s, so the music I heard was mostly what was either on the car radio or what I saw on TV. I didn't have a teenage older sibling who would have been buying all the great albums that came out back...
