VA Jackson river lawsuit update.

[Don Hershfeld]

Shoot-straight,

Reminds me of the Jennings Randolph Reservoir on the NBPR, straddling the MD / WV border...

... complete with paper mill (DC poo, too) 'problems'

'Dilution is the solution to pollution' (?) in action.

I likewise live where change is hard for some to take.

Hey Don I assume you are talking about the “Bwahahahaha” . That’s just my way of trying to lighten up things. Some times thing get a little tense here. It’s never aimed at anyone just a general chuckle. And I liked your way of stating the Jackson river tribe way of fighting back.
I’m also starting to get my yearly dose of cabin fever. Some of the ponds around here, are starting to get ice on them. Making fishing hard. Bwahahaha

[Don Hershfeld]

Thanks.

Without a pronunciation guide, I just couldn't be sure if this unique expression was more of a laugh, or a cry,
sort'a akin to "aloha" or something.
I'd always assumed the former,
but thought it good to get it straight from the source.

Now, we'd best de-jack this thread before our very own big kahuna
(only endearingly expressed, Brandon) sees fit to issue a deserved TF reprimand!

[saltfly]

No you don’t have to worry about upsetting Brandon. I’ve tied for years to rattle his cage. And I’ve not had any success. But just to add the history of the “bwahahaha” It was started by chumbucket on the old bs board. Many many years ago. Chum would use it all the time. Guys liked it and it became the norm, on that board. Up until My little buddy Brandon locked the board for ever. Now I guess I’m the only one left from that board and still honor its use. Hoping all the time to bug Brandon into bring back that board.

[Don Hershfeld]

Saltfly,

A legit B.S. board? No foolin'? Expressly dedicated to tom'foolery?

Why, that would be fantastic,
except that I'd never be able
to escape it.

May I presume it got too ripe, or Earl Weaverish
for a respectable, high-class, family-friendly joint?
If so, what a shame. What a loss. B'waaaahaSniff2 (translates to 'crying')!

I once read taped on someone's refrigerator door,
who's teenager was just starting to evidence
the 'cool' aspect of a foul mouth,
the following (more or less):

"Profanity is public admission of stupidity.
So if you can't find a more clever AND effective way
to express what really needs communicating, than dipping your lips right into the gutter,
It might just be better to say nothing at all."

That's not quite accurate, but it did start me thinking about just how often my own potty-mouth was really called for,
not that there aren't times when few other descriptors seem to fit the bill,
and express the frustration or anger half as well.
But, necessary all the day long...
sort'a loses its punch.
Where's that
leave us
to go?

Not a 'sermon' fella's... just tellin' it like it was, and not what anybody else ought'a do.

I recollect there being an outing last year on the ice at DCL I can only remember for only two things:
I got skunked, and I mean not a single nudge, while jigging all day, at a 'respectful' distance from
a group of rather young 'adult' males. God bless 'em, every other word out of every pup's mouth
was either f'in, GD'in, or S'in. And it was extra loud for emphasis, in a 'top this' sort of way.
But almost no creative variation. For a while I kept a running tally, but soon lost count.

Sound travels over plain bare ice perhaps better than over water,
and I was near the cursing group's downwind fringe.
Further downwind, but well within even 2way audible range of calm, side-by-side chat,
was a four generation family group, with first-timer little kids chasing flags
at the prompting of their grandparents, all laughing with polite teasing.

Quite a juxtaposition.
Nobody got many fish that day,
But I'm pretty sure who had a better time.
I kind'a wished I could have recorded the first group,
bound and gagged the lot (not really of course), and had 'em sit through
all seven hours of the playback, to just give them a clue as to what impressions they left...
certainly not 'cool' in any sense I could perceive. Didn't even detect them enjoying the habit, particularly.

But I'm not cool, or with it. Just a boring fuddy-duddy, I suppose.
