Canadian Authorities Cracking Down on Fish Molestation
1999-05-21 16:42:55
Reacting swiftly to the current Canuck rage for torturing and humiliating river-dwelling fish, Canadian officials have charged an American TV fishing show host with what is believed to be the first ever case of "Fish Molestation" encountered on the North American continent.
Larry Dahlberg, host of ESPN's "The Hunt for Big Fish," was recently fly-fishing in British Columbia while being filmed by his television crew. An eagle-eyed Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans noticed Dahlberg playing a bit roughly with the Steelhead on the end of his line, and informed the startled TV host and his Canadian guide Pat Wilson that he was being charged with "unsportsmanlike conduct." More specifically, the Canadian official charged Dahlberg with violation of a British Columbian fishing code which states "No person shall molest or injure fish."
"What Larry was charged with, molesting a fish, is very subjective. Larry didn't do anything wrong!" Wilson told a reporter.

Johnnie Royale's Guide to Wakes
Wakes can present problems for Bad People of the Future. (If you don't know what a BPotF is, you need to read more of the PDJ.) Sure, your friend is gone and you miss him and that really sucks; it does, I know. But all Bad People of the Future are gonna die, and they have all accepted that fact. They do deserve, however, to have one final kickass party to celebrate all the bad things they've done in the past, present and future. And you, as a friend, have to make sure that their desire for a final send off is well executed (sorry for the pun). That's just the way of BPotFdom. (More...)
