1. Nothing of any depth, detail, or complexity may be posted in this thread.
Well, we’re off to a good start. No more long drawn out dissertations of the infinite nuances, and the knowledge thus gained, that some feel we must aspire to in order to catch trout. A tactic used by many to mask their ineptitude, and to convince those who would otherwise catch fish why they don’t.
2. No Latin words of any sort, whether describing insects or for general purposes will be tolerated.
Getting better. No more baffling language to further disguise and obscure simplicity. Another tactic used rather exclusively by fly fishermen to further elevate and distinguish themselves from the lower forms. Ah, how could one possibly catch trout without a thorough scientific understanding of aquatic entomology and the Latin thus associated?
3. No one with a Ph.D. may post anything here, with the exception of this initial post, which establishes rules for what can't be done here.
This one may very well be the best. No more shall we be asked to answer the Professor’s questions, only to have him turn around and answer the question for us.
4. No one from the Northeast may post in this thread, including transplants from other regions who currently reside in the Northeast, and some from Wisconsin may be banned if they push their luck.
SSShhh, can you hear it? Peace and quiet, no posts from the Northeast, they must be fuming with rage, unable to destroy our solitude as we simply go on “Just Fishing For Trout”. Am I pushing my luck?
5. Still no haiku. And no limericks here either.
All forums have a silly rule; it’s not so much the haiku as it is no limericks. That I will miss.
