You Can’t Be Me. But You Can Wear My Pants.
By Tom Chandler on Mar 10, 2007 in Underground Entertainment
I know that many, many people wake up in the morning wondering the following: “How I can become more like that Trout Underground dude?“
The bad news is it’s not easy being me.
The constant adulation, the groupies, the party temptations, the overtures from leading political candidates looking for endorsements, the endless piles of gear. It can be overwhelming.
Walk a Mile in My Pants
Still, you can’t become me, but you can dress like me. Remember my groundbreaking post about pants made from bamboo fibers?
Courtesy my ever-vigilant youngest brother, you can win your own pair of bamboo pants (I’m here to tell you they’re comfy things) on eBay for under $10.

Ten dollars is a lot cheaper than your average bamboo fly rod, and consider this: you’ll be the living embodiment of “chic” when you’re out in the middle of the stream in your Hathaway bamboo pants casting that old Payne.
Smokin. That’s all I’m saying here. Smokin…

TC, I was going to get you another pair, but I don’t see any size 42 waist left. You must have scooped them all up. Anyway, I tried.
The middle Rogue might actually be fishable today. Green and dropping.

I think TC wears a size 42×26 inseam !
Kind of had to find any in that size at the Gap.

If these aren’t pressed and stored correctly will they warp during the offseason? …and is that wht TC walks like Walter Brennan?

“TC walks like Walter Brennan”
Actually, it is more like a John Wayne swagger. And he didn’t start to walk that way until after he met Nancy. Enough said.
TC a 42 in waist? I don’t think so. But then again you are fly fisherman; so it’s probably traditional that all your measurements in a story must be exaggerated to obtain the desired effect.
Oh look, a 20” brownie!

The Younger, Less-Attractive Chandler has an excellent point.
How does a lying, exaggerating, length-extending fly fisher get through the day when to us, everything appears about 1.5x bigger than it really is?

Its the scotch…It screws up your depth perception and increases testosterone to dangerous levels. Inducing exageration and dillussions of grandure.

Hmmm … I thought it was “Delusions of Grandma”, after all, she did teach me how to catch bluegill, and I still summon her spirit when necessary.
I admit, I exaggerated because I got skunked and TC actually caught a fish.
