yes, Jill, it is sad that fatdrag0n is fishing in a lake in missouri. it’s just too bad that people actually have to live in the “fly-over zone,” isn’t it? the government should just pave over the whole thing and make it a parking lot for disney world, dammit. I sure wish I could live on the coast and wear shoes everyday and have cable tv and a cell phone! that would be the life, I would have carte blanche to be a snooty twit!
Hate to tell you this, sally, since you’ve obviously got your mad hat on, but New Mexico is not exactly coastal. The reference to a river might have thrown you, but NM is also a “fly-over.” Now don’t you feel silly?
By the way, it’s not nice to tease. Very few of us, even those of us in gorgeous cosmopolitan new York City, can afford to wear shoes every day.
If you wanna figure out what Sally’s talking about, the column is, at the moment, the current one, and can be found here.
'Course, I’ve read the column, and I’m STILL not sure what she’s talking about…Jill seemed perfectly polite to me.
Gee Jill Here I am in IOWA,home of the drum also bass crappie catfish sturgeon walleye musky bluegill and even the lowly ,to quote some, carp, and I didn’t even know they had rivers in New Mexico.Most of the rivers in the west we call cricks here in Iowa.Oh Yeah they stock trout in NE Iowa.
When I lived in Oklahoma, I took a fabulous canoe trip in Missouri. Those are both beautiful states in their own rights (though some of the current residents seem to lack a sense of humor, for some reason). But I tell ya, nothing beats fly fishing in New Mexico. Sorry.

(Disney World? Cell phones? Cable TV? What the …?)
And what about paddlefish? Can they be caught on the east and left coast? I think not. They’re protected, but one can fish them upwards of dams in the midwest. You have to use a treble hook and snag ‘em. No bait involved. Broil them like shark, except without the greasy layer. Good fishin’!
I didn’t say new mexico was on the coast, but thanks for assuming that’s where I thought it was. surprisingly enough, living in this backwater state, I actually know a bit about geography. just about blew your mind there, didn’t I?
Way to make an entrance and establish a name for yourself in our little piece of the net…you must truly be a delightful person to be around.
And anyway, I wasn’t making fun of Missouri - I was making fun of lake anglers, as a fly fisher-uh-person. Even though I’m a closet bait user, too.
Jill
ps - “Closet bait user.” That sounds prurient.
pps - Michigan. Now there’s a state that sucks.
I dunno, I felt Jill’s column was a bit insulting. I mean to call fishing in the Ozarks “depressing” is a bit much. The Ozarks are perfect for that sort of thing. I mean, if the guy with the questions had said he was fishing in Sauget, then that would be a different story. 
Although I’m not exactly sure why Sally is mentioning coasters at all, I agree with her that people in general should respect the Midwest a bit more - we on this board especially; after all, that is where the great Cecil chooses to live, right?
Also, and to add to the column, Sheepheads are well known to be delicious. They have the flavor of shellfish, and I see them selling all the time in place where people know their fish.

The above statement implies that you think that Jill lives on the coast, with specific references to disney world (that would actually be Florida, to anyone who thought California). Now Jill’s column only mentions New Mexico. The rest of us are scratching our heads as to why you mention the coasts. Or Disney World. Or cell phones and shoes and cable TV.

Not to mention the “snooty twit” part.

F.I.T.
This doesn’t work so well in print, but, oh well, here it is anyway.
Question: Why do they call it Missouri (Misery)?
Answer: Because Sally lives there.
And why does sally have a homepage at sexsex.com if she’s NOT going to put porn on it? Seems like a copout to me.
Have a look at her homepage, if you can stand it, and youll understand a little more.
You ain’t from aroun’ heah, are ya? It’s Miz-oo-ruh.
Maybe she’s a lazy German satanist.
