================================
Hello Glen,

>GJ>Ah, at least someone understands me!  I have usually gone trolling
>GJ>with a line and a few baited hooks.  When travelling on coastal ships
>GJ>in PNG it was usual to hang a line over the side.  That gave a lift to
>GJ>the food served on the ship.

>LL>I once caught a fishing pole that way.  Complete rod and reel.  And

GJ>Ah, but was there a fish on the hook?  Or perhaps the previous owner
GJ>had hurled the rod into the sea in frustration at not catching
GJ>anything?

Nah.  A case of clumsiness.  The guy who dropped the rod and reel
into the water was a lawyer.  I know.  I was there.  Fishing for a
rod and reel with another rod and reel, catching that rod and reel
with just a hook is quite a feat.  Gotta snag it just right, with
no way of seeing the rod and reel.  Kinda like fishing blind.  :)

>LL>still useable.  But it was the time I lost an anchor that takes the
>LL>cake.  Years ago, I invited a priest to go fishing, the first and last
>LL>time I ever did so.  As the boat approached the desired fishing hole,
>LL>I cut the motor and told the priest to throw the anchor.  The boat
>LL>continued to move forward, threatening to get the boat grounded into
>LL>the marsh.  I again asked the priest to throw the anchor.  "I did!"
>LL>replied the priest.  Then I noticed the priest had indeed thrown the
>LL>anchor overboard, as no anchor was on deck.  And quickly realized why
>LL>the boat continued to move forward.  The chain was not tied to the
>LL>anchor.  Fortunately I had a boat paddle which I was able to use to
>LL>keep the boat from going into the marsh.  Did the priest know the
>LL>chain was not attached to the anchor?  Yes, he knew that.  So why
>LL>did he throw the anchor overboard?  I asked him to.  So he did.
>LL>Now you know why Jesus called Peter the Rock.

GJ>That priest had unquestioning faith in what you told him.  Did you
GJ>then push him over the side, telling him to go and get the anchor?

Nah.  He had blessed the boat, so I knew the fish were holy.
I did have to buy me a new anchor, though.  :)

GJ>MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05

GJ>      Title: Anchor Bar Hot Wings
GJ> Categories: Snacks, Poultry, Blue-chez
GJ>      Yield: 12 Servings

GJ>           Chicken wings
GJ>           Read below

GJ>The key to good Buffalo Wings is how you prepare them as well as the
GJ>ingredients and the handling of the wings. The most successful wings
GJ>served up here in Buffalo are what they call "Grade A Grinders."

I am going to do some experimentation with this and see what I can
come up with.  I'm thinking "devil wings" or something along those
lines.  Fresh chicken does have a very different taste than frozen
chicken.  By fresh, I mean fresh from the farm.  :)
