Welcome back to Haiku Monday, where Fish Hack is hoping no back-seat Congressman yells "You Lie" here just because the Fish Wrap's report said chinook salmon fishing was good on the middle Rogue River but Ol' Yeller just didn't catch squat.
What? Plan's not working?
Make your point. Just don't name-call
Like it's Parliament.
You remember Haiku Monday. It's when Fish Hack busts a few non-rhymes in Japanese poetry form for not other reason than it's a good gimick. Three-line non-rhymers set in syllabic fashion just for a few yucks about the outdoors.
Labor Day is the end of summer for all but Fish Hack, whose job at the Fish Wrap is to bring the joy of fishing to all you dudes and dude-ettes stuck in your offices reading this-here missive.
Fish Hack is nothing if not a pile-On kinda guy. And ol' Joe Wilson needs a few more bodies on the stack from both sides of the aisle.
Barkin' from the back row like he did in that joint session of Congress reminds me of some of you Fish Heads who complain that the Search and Destroy report in the Fish Wrap is wrong because they did what the report said and didn't catch jack.
Ain't working out like you want, so someone has to pay for it.
One Whack-Job once went so far as to send me a bill for $150 because he spent two days in Gold Beach trolling the bay for chinook and never got a bite.
So, if you go to Crater Lake when it's foggy, do you expect re-embursement from the weather dude?
Sounds like Fish Hack's two Tax Deductions...when they were 4.
"It can't be my fault!"
Well, bet it probably is.
Fish Hack ain't the cause.
Listen, Fish Hack ain't no D and ain't no R. Hack's been a card-carrying Non-Affiliated Voter since that first registration. And I'd vote for anybody who legalized gambling and allowed tax write-offs for alcohol purchases (It's health-care costs, dude).
But this whole shee-bang has taught Fish Hack one thing: The fishing outlook in Thursday's Fish Wrap will carry a new disclaimer...
"Fall chinook fishing
is good now at Finley Bend...
Unless you just suck."
