I'm a bit disturbed by the thought that Bob's heart has cockles and worried that anything done here might have made them warm prior to him girding his
loins.
But I guess in a pinch he could always sell them alive, alive o...... disturbedfli |

After reading all this I feel a bit dizzy, but I will remember that there was a discussion
about gin and clearness some pages up. I am with Christian on this: I would not for a moment hesitate to describe a decent London Gin as being as clear as the
water of a Hampshire chalk stream. Or vice versa. On the other hand, I don't think I will ever use the pharase lightly again after having seen River
Test...

The priests and nuns told me 45 years ago that if I tweaked my wand, I'd go blind, and then straight to hell.

Boo lives two doors down the street from me. He is a pitiful excuse of a beagle who suffers the indignity of our neighborhood free-range rabbits grazing in his
front yard most mornings. His full name is "Booger"(pronounced with profound Southern accent).

"Boo" is obviously shorthand for bamboo, which as you can tell is a term frowned upon here. It's been in acceptable use quite some time before
Clark gave birth to this forum back in 2000, but some self-appoint Grand Pooh-Bah deemed it an inappropriate reference to bamboo and a host of toady minions
jumped on the planing form. More than likely the same who concocted the expulsion of Flashman from Rugby School. Any Virtually
Worthless Bastard worthy of his worthlessness and considerate of his bastardness wouldn't give a rats behind what others
thought of the term and consider it usable irregardless of present company or not.

Actually, we don't frown upon it. We ridicule it.

Just to jump out from behind a corner and say BOO once more: Yesterday, I noted that Brian
Clarke (of Clark & Goddard fame) used the term Gin-clear on more than one occasion in his new book On Fishing, which is a collection of his fishing columns
from The Times. But perhaps The Times is just a rag for VWB:s?

From yesterday's Little Lehigh Fly Shop stream report:
The stream flow and level are normal. The water is gin clear.

Gin Clear? | #54 | ||

Posts: 284 12/03/2007 19:57 |
I suspect the phrase is a marketing tool of the British Distiller's Association. Been my experience that gin has the definitive effect of clouding any
issue. Would not the phrase be more correctly applied as in the following? "His gin clear speech gave evidence of inchoate thinking."

Or
His gin clear speech wasn't.

His gin-clear thinking induced thoughts of acquiring a boo rod that was flawless and casted itself.

His gin-clear thinking induced thoughts of acquiring a boo rod that was flawless and casted itself, because it had been tweaked "just so" and was in
mint julep condition.

Why is it that mer is constantly gravitating towards BOOze oriented comments? So some see Boo as bamboo and mer sees it as Boo(ze)?
I thought Rolf was the town drunk.

What are you doing greg, trying an "intervention" on me?
I didn't come up with the "gin-clear" thing. I had a mint julep, once. Almost threw my back out from puking too hard. Rolf? I can't speak for him.

mer, sorry to hear about your experience with the mint julep. As for mint julep rods I never liked them because I had to remove the cellophane to use them.
