Fear not, Ken! I was looking at a t-shirt link a buddy sent and was scrolling through the others on the site when I found these "highly relevant" Pond Boss themes!

It's okay, Omaha, just slap on another dose and you'll get it. Or maybe you won't. There's a 40% chance of the latter! laugh

Weren't they supposed to add more harnesses and maybe break out the buggy whip?

The ability to quickly gain the sensory image of Indian food wrapped in a dirty diaper is not one to be taken lightly.

As most long-time Pond Bosser's probably know, I'm pretty adventerous when it comes to food. All I can say about this, is that having close in-law Indian ties, I hope that was the equiavalent of a "tortillia" or maybe a Chinease "Moushou Pork" Pancake. sick

But, then again, I did enjoy the cartoon, and I'm not sure about its signifcance.

There was a hand written card on the community bulletin board at our local convenience store and gas station: 'Talking Dog For Sale' along with an address. My friend goes over there, knocks on the door of a rather run-down shanty type cabin. The owner appears and tells him the dog is in the backyard.

My friend goes into the backyard and sees a nice looking Labrador retriever sitting there.

'You talk?' he asks.

'Yep,' the Lab replies.

After my friend recovers from the shock of hearing a dog talk, he says 'So, what's your story?'

The Lab looks up and says, 'Well, I discovered that I could talk when I was pretty young. I wanted to help the government, so I told the CIA.

In no time at all they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping.'

'I was one of their most valuable spies for eight years running...

But the jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger so I decided to settle down. I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security, wandering near suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings and was awarded a batch of medals.'

'I got married, had a mess of puppies, and now I'm just retired.'

My friend was amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog.

'Ten dollars,' the guy says.

'Ten dollars? That dog is amazing! Why on earth are you selling him so cheap?'

'Because he's a Bull$hi++er! He ain't never been out of the back yard'

Thank you Cat, that was a classic.

This, from one of my most favorite fishing columnists, was in this morning's Duluth News Tribune, Duluth, MN/Superior, WI.

Quote:
Sam Cook column: Performance-enhanced ice-fishing? Don’t be a dope

By: Sam Cook, Duluth News Tribune

Now comes word, from no less than the New York Times, that drug-testing has come to ice-fishing.

As we have to say now, in this world of urban legend and satirical stories from the Onion, I’m not making this up.

In a Feb. 24 story in the Times, reporter James Card described how several winners at the recent World Ice Fishing Championship near Wausau, Wis., were whisked away after the competition for drug-testing. According to the Times story, “an official from the United States Anti-Doping Agency ordered them to provide urine samples for a surprise test to detect steroids and growth hormones …”

Apparently, officials did not test for Leinenkugel’s. Just as well.

All of this is happening because some in the sport of ice fishing are hoping to take their competition to the Winter Olympics.

OK. Let’s idle our jigging rods just long enough to ponder a few things. Mainly, how in the world could performance-enhancing drugs improve your ice fishing? Quicker hook-sets? More animated jigging action? Better control of your power auger? Faster slush removal from your fishing hole?

If you rub the same cream on your thighs that some major league home-run hitters did, knowingly or unknowingly, are you less likely to avoid the pitfalls that most of us amateur ice anglers have encountered? Would you, for instance, be less likely to drop a pair of needle-nose pliers down the hole? Would you be less likely to sever your fishing line by accidentally holding it too close to your heater? Those are the kind of performance issues most of us have to deal with. Can doping cure general awkwardness and stupidity?

Doubtful.

And where would we get our dope? The bait shop, I presume.

“Where’s Don?”

“He went in the back room for a minute.”

“I thought he already got the minnows.”

“He did. He said it was about something else.”

It doesn’t take much imagination to visualize Gene, the bait shop proprietor, back there between the bubbling minnow tanks and freezers full of ciscoes, getting ready to poke a long syringe through Don’s Carhartt bibs and into the ample flesh of his rear end. That’s how it starts. And out front, Don’s buddies look the other way, ask no questions.

Lance, tell us it isn’t true.

It isn’t as if most ice anglers are seeking enhanced physical performance. Let’s face it. Most of us drive pickups or snowmobiles across the ice to our fishing destinations. We waddle around in oversized clothing while we penetrate the ice with power augers. We erect little houses and light our heaters. We don’t want six-packs in our abdominal region, thanks. Just outside the shelter will be fine. Lifting 10-inch crappies and 8-inch perch from our holes is not particularly strenuous.

And if they want to drug-test us, they don’t need to call us all into a little room after we’re back at the resort. Just come by our shelters out on the lake, scoop a little of that yellow snow into your USADA Dixie cup and send it to the lab.

It should come back about three parts beef jerky, two parts Old Milwaukee.

See? We’re clean. Let the Games begin.

What can I say? The majority of the 1988 Olympic "curling" team that restarted Olympic curling, came from my home town in Northern WI. The "skip" (team captain) and his family owned the rink where I played for many years while growing up there.

By the time the 1988 Olympics came around, we weren't as young as we were before that. We had grown old and grumpy. I can't imagine them testing my old friend Bud Somerville, who is several years older than me, and who I believe was the "skip" of the US Olympic team, being tested for using enhancing drugs like Geritol and Preparation-H.

I sure hope that our ice fishing friends in MN and WI aren't doing anything stronger than Lienenkugles. I sure wouldn't want them to bring disgrace upon our nation!
