because then you get what you want

we won!
and by "won" i mean we totally, utterly, pitifully, completely lost.
we were blown clear out of the water. we could not have done any worse if we had all been snared on hooks dangling hunks of perfect raspberry bltz torte in the air in front of us, drowned, and been mounted on the wall of a hole.
it was an incredible waste of war paint and body oil.

actually, dadoo got a bite.
i caught two twigs and learned how to roll cast, which is AWESOME.

i nearly committed fishy infanticide, but my lack of a net stopped me. i couldn't have caught any of those without cheating either.

may have gotten a job as well - cue sciencefather III michael corleone reference.
or perhaps better - imagine me as dr. channard in hellraiser II and the job as the (spoiler) lobotamy machine hooked into the top of his head which he dangles from.
yes. that's right.

such lovely cool water with a lovely cloudy sky and lovely people who, for some reason, thought i was a cadet. a cadet who knew how to cast, as well.
