Why the Underground Smells Better Than Everyone Else at the FFR Show
By Tom Chandler on Sep 17, 2007 in Underground Entertainment
Sure, my hotel is stuffy, far from the show, and contains absolutely no trout in the swimming pool, but at least they keep me smelling like a tropical drink.
UPDATE: I still smell good, but I’m not taking the laptop to the show today. There might be an update coming from the show computers, so check back.

Smell good, hell, you sound like a dessert. I’m hungry…

I like how I’m not slathered in coconut, but “infused” with it…

Chicks dig coconut infusion. What is the ratio of chicks to men at the show?
Tom Chandler | Sep 17, 2007 | Reply
About 1 chick to 500 men. Keep in mind that many of the 500 aren’t pretty.

Hmm. Could be a good place to get a date. But I hear Fly Fisherman are strange.

Well, they do wear a lot of unnatural fibers. And then there’s the whole fly rod thing, which I simply won’t go into here.
But MK, I gotta ask; you’re a babe. Are there no sighted men in Duluth?

Thanks, Tom but either you have beer goggles on or Duluth is blind. I’m guessing the former. Slim pickins’ up here in the north. Lay off the show beers.

That “aw shucks, me?” routine won’t fly on the Underground. (No beer was consumed prior to the asking of this question.)
And I’d like to point out something you’re overlooking here in the MK + handsome male fly fisher script.
You paddle kayaks and row a dragon boat, so you could learn to row a drift boat very, very quickly.
Show up in a Western town, drop the drift boat in the river, and there will be a line of men waiting for you at the take-out point…

Damn, you’re more perceptive than your readers make you out to be. But I still believe your consuming beer more than you would like us to believe. I know alllll about trade shows. Or is there a more civilized drink that the fly fishing type perfer to sip?
And for the record, there is no rowing involved in a dragon boat. It’s paddling, dammit, PADDLING. Why does everyone insist that if there is more than two bodies, they MUST be rowing? Not to mention, we’re facing forward!!! There are no oarlocks in any of the paddlers seats! Oh. Sorry. I’m gonna go take my prozac now.

Magan,
A drift boat does face down river as do the folks in it. But you are right I do have or locks on mine. What is a dragon boat? If you can handle a paddle boat you can do a drift boat. L & T Nancy did just find. Now for TC he has learned to do donuts real well, but I an quite sure he is faking that he can’t get it so he can do all the fishing.
