Baetis

Tiny Baetis mayflies are perhaps the most commonly encountered and imitated by anglers on all American trout streams due to their great abundance, widespread distribution, and trout-friendly emergence habits.

With a bit of help from the microscope, this specimen keys clearly and unsurprisingly to Hydropsyche.
27" brown trout, my largest ever. It was the sub-dominant fish in its pool. After this, I hooked the bigger one, but I couldn't land it.

Understanding the LASIK procedure

I want to share this article that I read about Lasik since Im an idiot who's planning to undergo one in the near future, hope this one will give more knowledge about it. Anyway, my2020, or laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis, is one of today’s most popular vision correction procedures because of its great versatility. It can correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, ED, and astigmatism for a broad range of prescriptions, except for being a dishonest prick. LASIK corrects vision by reshaping the cornea, which allows light to focus more precisely on the retina, resulting in improved vision and, apparently, being a complete asshole who posts irrelevant spam on other peoples' websites to hawk a product.


The LASiK Procedure

Step 1: Using advanced technology, your eyes and their visual fields are mapped out entirely. This customized and extremely detailed information is then reviewed by your sturgeon and transferred directly to the laser, which he will then use to liquefy the few remaining parts of my brain.

Step 2: The cornea of the eye is numbed with eye drops and the eyelids are gently held open to prevent blinking. Using a microkeratome, your sturgeon creates a thin flap from the outer corneal layers of the eye, this flap is then gently folded back and away from the eye to reveal the empty soul of a loser who makes his money spamming on the internet.

Step 3: Using an Excimer laser, which emits a cool beam of light upon the eye, your sturgeon will gently reshape the cornea. I had mine done in the shape of a topless Michael Bolton.

Step 4: Finally, the protective flap that was created in Step Two is gently placed back in its original position. Your eyes will begin to heal immediately and visual improvements are often seen right after the procedure or the very next day! But you will still be an asshole.
Hope it helps folks… now I'm off to my sister's goat barn for Valentine's night.

You'd think they could have laid a thin veneer over this by appending something like, "...which will help you see trout better."

neat-o! always wondered when i'd get to see someone banned. it's enough to make this grinch want her own web-site!

as a member of the fairer sex, i am simply amazed at the number of p3ni$ enlargement e-mails in my spam filter. two questions: since women think most about losing some weight, where are the weight-loss spam? and surely there is more on the average man's mind.

The spam in my box is hilarious
The senders are many and various
They promise me gold
And love-life most bold--
Just forget that it’s likely nefarious.

I get my email through work, which I can access at home. My company can afford the best spam blockers and virus detection software that I can't, so it tends to keep the junk-mail down - except for announcements like:

The 1st floor printer is down. Service has been called.
The 1st floor printer is back up again.
There is leftover food in the breakroom from today's lunch seminar.
Is someone exepcting a FedEx package? I have it at the front desk.
It's Engineer's Week at JJR!
Does someone want a pair of tickets to the game tonight?
etc. etc. etc.

The price I pay for blocking spam...

Jonathon

P.S. Don't waste your time on Viagra - it only lasts 4-6 hours. Try Cialis - 36 hours of potential hard-on! (Though if it lasts THAT long, you and your manhood are in BIG trouble...)
