First?

Yes, when it causes testosterone levels to rise.
Posted by: Beppie | September 29, 2006 at 01:26 PM
Wow, picture on Wyo's web site, and a first all in the same day, and that is the strangest stature ... looks kind of like the creature from the black lagoon with a fish head
Posted by: DaveTheRed | September 29, 2006 at 01:26 PM
that was just...ok, i guess "freaky" works...
Posted by: southerngirl | September 29, 2006 at 01:27 PM
Oh, and FIRST! Haha!
Posted by: Beppie | September 29, 2006 at 01:27 PM
Also I am rated as Mid-level nerd, lol.
Posted by: DaveTheRed | September 29, 2006 at 01:28 PM
Holy moly! Haha! Four posts at the same time!

stupid work firewall...
From Dave's lead-in, I'm going to have to go with:
"Only if you have two hands on your rod."

That's not what the catfish God looks like! He's shorter, darker and has thicker lips! Last time he visited me in my room at night, he....oh...perhaps I've said too much. I don't want to anger him. Again. Not after what happened last time...
Posted by: Punkin Poo | September 29, 2006 at 01:36 PM
Kind of an extreme reaction to one night of bad fishing...I wonder how he handles REAL disappointment?
Posted by: Betsy | September 29, 2006 at 01:37 PM
Why does the catfish god have huge b00bs? Wouldn't that make it a goddess?
Posted by: wench | September 29, 2006 at 01:38 PM
LOL! That must be how the Pyramids came about.
Posted by: Beppie | September 29, 2006 at 01:39 PM
Throws a "in reply to Besti" up there...
Posted by: Beppie | September 29, 2006 at 01:39 PM
Throws the correct spelling of "Betsy" up there as well...
Posted by: Beppie | September 29, 2006 at 01:40 PM
Keep your stick on the ice!
Posted by: Red Green | September 29, 2006 at 01:40 PM
that would look great at my place.
Posted by: crossgirl | September 29, 2006 at 01:42 PM
"Life-sized" I've never seen a live catfish quite that big.....
Posted by: Bubbette | September 29, 2006 at 01:43 PM
It's kind of creative, I think. Wonder what it's made of.
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | September 29, 2006 at 01:44 PM
But shouldn't it be called the "catch-fish" god?
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | September 29, 2006 at 01:46 PM
Punkin, still buzzing about it?
Posted by: KCSteve | September 29, 2006 at 01:48 PM
It's time to play, "Name that pathology"
Posted by: Cheesewiz | September 29, 2006 at 01:54 PM
Bubbette, check this out.
Posted by: Olo Baggins of Bywater | September 29, 2006 at 01:56 PM
That's not the cat fish god, that's just my cousin, Vern.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | September 29, 2006 at 01:57 PM
I don't know if fishing causes brain malfunction, but the way it's described in one of yesterday's posts, it may cause blindness.
Posted by: KOW | September 29, 2006 at 02:00 PM
KCSteve....NOT funny.
*muttering - last time I share w/ my so-called friends*
Posted by: Punkin Poo | September 29, 2006 at 02:00 PM
Have a happy weekend y'all, See ya monday!!
Posted by: DaveTheRed | September 29, 2006 at 02:01 PM
i've always maintained that brain malfunction causes fishing... why on earth would anyone volunteer to handle cold, squishy, slimy, wet living things for recreation?
Posted by: pepe | September 29, 2006 at 02:05 PM
Punkin - you can share anything you want when you are a Supreme Nerd God(dess). If anyone makes fun of you, smite them with
um....
An an abrupt electric discharge.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 29, 2006 at 02:06 PM
How in the heck do you cook one that big??
Posted by: Val | September 29, 2006 at 02:07 PM
on this, Val
Posted by: wench | September 29, 2006 at 02:10 PM
Catfish for dinner?
Posted by: Suzy Q | September 29, 2006 at 02:14 PM
squishy, slimy, wet living things
It's a Friday afternoon...
Do I, as a guy of the male gender, really want to go there?
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 29, 2006 at 02:15 PM
DPC - that type of activity is usually reserved for post happy hour
Posted by: wench | September 29, 2006 at 02:16 PM
DPC, electrical discharges are one of my favorite fishing tools; those, dynamite, or my two-handed spey rod.
Posted by: CJrun | September 29, 2006 at 02:22 PM
DPC - Will do!
*assumes discharge position*
Posted by: Punkin Poo | September 29, 2006 at 02:35 PM
Yikes! on so many levels - catfish god, Mekong Cat and, especially Punkin in the electrical discharge position!
*pays more homage to the nerd queen!*
Posted by: ScottMGS | September 29, 2006 at 02:43 PM
Uh, discharge of what, Punkin? Last time I tuned in, DP Chris was talking about "squishy, slimy, wet living things."
In order to cause a disharge of one of those, you'll have to catch one first.
Posted by: Clean Hands | September 29, 2006 at 02:46 PM
CH - I believe I HAVE discharged "wet, slimey, living things"...we called them Josh & Kacy.
Posted by: Punkin Poo | September 29, 2006 at 02:52 PM
Oh, those wet, slimey, living things.
Posted by: ScottMGS | September 29, 2006 at 02:57 PM
That thing looks like a prop off of some bad Canadian horror movie.. Freeky...
Posted by: otis wildflower | September 29, 2006 at 03:04 PM
I don't usually have any trouble at all catching one of those. Causing a discharge takes a few minutes, though.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 29, 2006 at 03:04 PM
So I guess I am going there.
Might as well - I can't launch hampsters right now.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 29, 2006 at 03:06 PM
wow, DPC - the responses I can think of to that loaded statement!
Posted by: wench | September 29, 2006 at 03:07 PM
Go for it. It's Friday...
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 29, 2006 at 03:12 PM
don't usually have any trouble at all catching one of those. Causing a discharge takes a few minutes, though
================
What wet, slimey things are you looking to catch? The kind that can be found post happy hour? And does the discharge really only take a few minutes? Some of us have higher expectation.
Posted by: wench | September 29, 2006 at 03:14 PM
From catch to first discharge only takes a few minutes. The discharge usually continues for quite some time thereafter - several hours usually.
See F and S.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 29, 2006 at 03:21 PM
wow...follow with a K and that's quite a satisfactory night
Posted by: wench | September 29, 2006 at 03:23 PM
No K. P.
Occasionally Q.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 29, 2006 at 03:35 PM
Only occasionally? Poor guy. K and P are very effective.
Posted by: wench | September 29, 2006 at 03:37 PM
Mrs.Dread has the same injury concerns you expressed about Qing. I've never had a problem with it, though. I don't know why she is concerned - Q always leads to P.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 29, 2006 at 03:43 PM
hasn't she ever heard of "no pain, no gain"? I wasn't expressing injury concerns - just expressing my sympathies that it's only occasionally.
Posted by: wench | September 29, 2006 at 03:46 PM
{sigh}
I know, thanks.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 29, 2006 at 03:51 PM
see, one of the benefits of being single - lots of adventure and "what the hell, let's just go for it" action
Posted by: wench | September 29, 2006 at 03:55 PM
I don't really know what y'all are talking about, but I'll throw in MY two favorite letters - K Y.
Posted by: Punkin Poo | September 29, 2006 at 04:01 PM
{sigh again}
Mrs. Dread used to be one of those people...
Maybe I can convince her to modify S to be a little bit like Q. That might work.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 29, 2006 at 04:02 PM
Poor Dread! I have lots of married friends so I hear that {used to} talk all the time. Makes me wary of the walk down the aisle. But one down side of being single is spending nights alone. I suppose sacrificing some freakiness for security might be worth it.
Posted by: wench | September 29, 2006 at 04:06 PM
Punkin - this
I'm trying to keep Mrs. Dread at "some". I think she'd like to go to "all", but I remind her that that means no more S either.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 29, 2006 at 04:13 PM
Oh, poor, poor Dread - she wants to sacrifice the whole adventurous alphabet? Is that what I'm reading? What's left? Just lot of "I", apparently!
Posted by: wench | September 29, 2006 at 04:21 PM
She doesn't want to give up the whole alphabet. She's willing to keep P.
The kids will be out tonight... Maybe I can arrange a Z without the third person at the top. I think the bumps work out for that to be what I'm after. If not, we'll rearrange it so it's right.
I'll go try that now...
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | September 29, 2006 at 04:29 PM
NO KIDS!!!! Man - get home and work it!!!
Posted by: wench | September 29, 2006 at 04:30 PM
Wow, picture on Wyo's web site, and a first all in the same day, and that is the strangest stature ... looks kind of like the creature from the black lagoon with a fish head
I must be losing my mind. I thought the chair was the being's legs, and the fish tail...Let's just say I thought I saw "fish head" too, but not the same kind you're talking about.
Posted by: Glix | September 29, 2006 at 04:57 PM
Let us spey.
