Went to a small lake yesterday and didn't really catch anything I could stretch into "almost" a keeper ;D.

 I was fishing from the bank and went around a corner into a small cove and the smell was INTENSE. It was the smell of bream bedding up and spawning. About the only way I can describe it is the cleanest musky smell in the world (I sure hope someone else knows what I'm talking about or I might end up in the Nervous Hospital ) It brought back a bunch of memories of fishing all the ox-bow lakes in ARK. and MISS. with my Daddy...

You should bottle it.

Eau de bream.

I'd buy it.

P.S.  smells are known triggers for memories.  

Ah, that smell.  I've always associated it with something shaped like a taco.

 Avid, I really like that Eau de bream. Long Mike that is one of the only pluses to ageing, you get to become a DOM (dirty old man) and no one thinks twice about it ;D

Skillet, I have no idea what you are talking about. , but thanks for the compliment.

YIKES Skillet.....I resemble that remark!  

 I actually think there are quite a few of us around, maybe jusy not ready to cop to it ;D Maybe we just need to come out, band together and start some kind of movement

(DOM UNITE). Being a minority maybe we could qualify for grants, loans who knows what all. Myself, I would like to see if we could get that guy that was on Laugh-In in the long black coat and little black fedora for a spokesperson. If any other ideas, just write. I'm going to be looking into the grants and loans part myself :

Skillet that cracks me up.  Anyone old enough to fondly remember Laugh-In and Arte Johnson is OK in my book.  Due to your leadership, I am finally coming out of the closet and officially declaring myself as a Dirty Old Man.  I just hope my wife of 37 years never finds out.  Now that I am in the open, I think Goldie Hawn is still really HOT.

Long Mike,

 Don't you feel better now. I know I did! ;D

                                               As Ever,

                                                Skillet

BTW You just had to go and mention Goldie, didn't you. I won't be worth killin' for days now!

Skillet, you are a survivor.  As a DOM you will figure a way to get a hand around your problem.
