Moldy Chum apparently reads the Trout Underground (as if we needed further proof of his dementia). Knowing that we love singing fish stories, he located the Singing Fish Car — a Volvo covered with singing fish and lobsters.
Singing fish AND lobsters? We must have one…
Before you rush out to buy one of these beauties, it’s our sad duty to inform you that they aren’t yet available for sale, this one being largely handmade for parade duty.
Naturally, we want to build the Trout Underground version of this vehicle, so I’m soliciting a car for the purpose. (It doesn’t have to be a Volvo — a late model Mercedes or Lexus would work just fine.)
Imagine the fear and envy playing across the other angler’s faces as I pull up to my favorite Upper Sacramento access point. They’d fear and respect me — especially once I cranked up the volume. Oh the humanity…

Bad Idea, really bad idea…
How are you going to get to the access when the GreenPeace anti-whaling fleet is playing bumper cars, hmm?
Crazy am I? We’ll see who is painting little protestor sillouettes on that Lexus…
Wally will be no help, “Guard Dog” means he will abandon you for the closest chili vendor.

Well…
I must say, I never knew there were talking (singing or otherwise) lobsters. Although, I’ve had some bad dreams.
It was an eye opener!
That said, even though this guy ruined his Volvo with bass and lobsters, he takes a poor second place to a true ‘Gluer.’
Gluers are a documented fact in the fictional book “In Search of the Paper Grail.”
In fact, the story takes place in what most might be considered the southern boundry of the State of Jefferson, Mendocino, and Level Two Hell (southern California) and involves a group of folks who glue crap on their cars. Most noticably, they glue Humpty Dumpty’s (in any form) on their cars whenever possible. Otherwise seashells and bits of glass and crap.
For those who are curious…Level One Hell is where I live. Satan won’t even come here this time of year.
This book had such an impact on my life that I spent hundreds of hours trying (in vain) to build a humpty dumpty that would sit on top of my shop and wave at folks when the wind blew. The problem was the propeller, not the mechanics of making his arm wave at folks. Oh sure, I could have bought a propeller.
Still, all in all, the most impressive Volvo I’ve ever seen!

Mike — Here’s today’s Free Rod Builder’s Marketing Tip That Doesn’t Cost Anything: build a new model, name it the “Electric Singing Fish,” and sell the hell out of ‘em.
You couldn’t possibly go wrong. Couldn’t.

Hmmm…
“Electric Singing Fish.”
Might the second line in the Field & Stream ad read…”if you can’t hook ‘em, stun ‘em!”
I like it!
PS…Never let Roberts greet you with a bear hug. When I last saw him, he broke one of my ribs. Still sore as hell. He crushed me!
