Via the miscreants at the GetOutdoors blog, we found what – if gas prices keep climbing – will become what all the cool fly fishermen are driving:
Uh, does that thing have a toilet?
I suppose it’s not even necessary to point out that the Trout Underground remains at the forefront of Making Your Life Better Via Our Razor Sharp Reporting Skills.
How else would you have known that you must buy (or build) one of these?
You wouldn’t, right? (High five!)
Here’s a prank you’ll want to try on your best fishing buddy, only don’t expect him to still be your buddy when it’s over.
This poor bastard took a vacation, and while he was gone, someone posted a pair of Craigslist ads inviting the public to come and take what they wanted from his house.
Naturally, they did:
Two prank postings last weekend on Cragslist.com resulted in an Oregon man losing most of his personal possessions.
The ads popped up Saturday afternoon, claiming the owner of a home near Medford was forced to leave the area suddenly and his belongings, including a horse, were free for the taking, the Mail Tribune reports.
However, the man, Robert Salisbury, had no plans to leave. In fact, Salisbury was relaxing at a lake in southern Oregon when someone called him to make sure it was OK to take his horse. During his rush home, in a scene that could have com right out of “The Grapes Of Wrath,†Salisbury stopped a truck loaded down with his work ladders, lawn mower and various other pieces of equipment.
“I informed them I was the owner, but they refused to give the stuff back,†Salisbury told the Mail Tribune. “They showed me the Craigslist printout and told me they had the right to do what they did.â€
When Salisbury got home, he found more than 30 people rummaging through his house and packing his belongings into their cars.
Most didn’t believe him when he said he was the owner, and in a stunning testimony to modern-day personal ethics, a few even lied to his face, suggesting that the owner had spoken to them and just left.
FOR THE RECORD, the Trout Underground will never, ever post an ad inviting its readers to avail themselves of his fly rod collection. Never.
