First Date with "The Gambler"

posted on craigslist In the Portland area (earlier this year)

To the woman that crapped in my car. ( NE Portland )

We met on Craigslist so I am hoping that this post finds you. I know that it could quite possibly be the most humiliating first date that you have ever been on, but I am willing to look past that.

I thought we had chemistry sitting at McMenamins sharing that basket of Cajun Tots while drinking the Terminator Stout. I really felt like there was a connection there. I found you to be intelligent and witty and looked forward to further conversation with you.

At some point in life, everyone has gambled on a fart and lost. It just happened to be on a first date in the passenger seat of my car. Please don't feel bad.

The package I sent you with Pepto the next day and the note that said "First dates are always a crap shoot. Call me" was meant to be funny, not offensive. I have gambled on a fart and lost on multiple occasions.
The first time I did it was very memorable. It happened when I was five and sitting on my uncle's lap. I am lactose intolerant, but love cheese. I probably win 95% of the time, but I don't think anyone wins 100% of the time. That's why they call it "gambling". I'm the last person to judge you for crapping your pants.

In fact, I am impressed by your boldness. The timing on the other hand, could have been a tad bit better...like when you're not sitting on a heated leather seat...
What I am trying to say is that if you want to go out again, I would be more than happy to take you someplace where we can get a meal that is high in fiber and less taxing on the digestive tract.

I await your call, Tad

P.S. - If you shat yourself on purpose to end the evening early. Touché

Your Monthly Moment in Waders

Once in a blue moon, every Yellow Dog has it's day. The other day, it just happened to happen while this Yellow Dog chica and Blanco Honky Ambassador, Anne Johansen, was wearing her waders. Congratulations Anne, putting a rock on the finger means (in the words of someone other than us) you don't have to, you don't have to let that "are you going to propose or not awkwardness" linger.

Bobbing for Brown Trout: A Russian Past time




While in Russia, President Obama has managed to make an agreement for both countries to reduce their nuclear arsenal by better than 25%. In addition, Mr. Obama has been appealing to Russian Leadership and the general population to be more receptive and welcoming of Westerners to help ease any past, present and future tensions, "The Cold War is over", said the President in a recent speech. A Blanco Honky Ambassador, and member of the White House Press Corps, traveled with President Obama to Russia, and though there isn't any new breaking political news, the Ambassador did manage to find time to do a quick color story for Blanco Honky. Evidently, when not drinking vodka, selling weapons to war lords or walking around with fur hats on their heads; Russians enjoy a nice game of bobbing for Brown Trout. We think the pictures speak louder than words for this story...

Red, White and Blue

So what does it mean for you? Lot’s of other countries utilize the same three colors in their own flags, but none are associated as strongly with these four words, “Red White and Blue”. In those four words, America, the U.S., the United States of America, is mentioned. The shear power behind those four words, in those three colors; that in itself makes Old Glory remarkable. The power to evoke a response, an opinion, an emotion, it’s quite impressive, really. Almost as impressive as this sweet Richard Simmons dance move.
The symbol of the American Flag has got to rank right up there globally with the Peace Sign, the Cross, the Ying and Yang, the signs for Restrooms in airports and the Blanco Honky Guy. Though there is no legally defined designation of how each color is defined. Unofficially(according to this dude’s website), the colors were to represent the following:

White: Signifies purity and innocence
Red: Signifies valor and braveryBlue: Signifies Vigilance, perseverance, and justice But for the rest of the world, from various cultures, religions and socio-economic backgrounds, our flag and the colors it bares may represent something entirely different. For instance, red may resemble Baywatch. After all, hasn’t Blanco witnessed this through first hand accounts by one of our Ambassadors on one of our expeditions to Chile? So take white for example. Surely the rest of the world recognizes us as a nation of tremendous fishing for Whitefish. Where else in the world can you go out when the river is half frozen over and catch your limit of Whitefish? Where? We’ll tell you where honkies, America, that’s where.
And blue. Blue, Blue, Blue, Billy Blue...... Is it our pristinely polluted waters that have so many of us Brownlining, for prozac induced carp? Nah, it’s Blue Jeans you silly honkies. That’s what we’re known for, and Blanco Honky is okay with that. Denim happens to be worn pretty awesome-ly just about everywhere. And think of it’s diversity (jorts, pants, jants, jackets, vests, shirts, sleeveless shirts, etc.) as symbolic of the diversity of this great nation. In synopsis, have a great fourth! South American Rednecks, Whitefish and Blue Jeans; Reggie Jackson, Whitey Ford and Bill Buckner, or Naiveity, Bavery and Chuck Norris. France, Great Britain, Liberia, Mullets. Whatever the colors mean to you, wherever you are in the world today, it’s The United States of America’s Independence Day. Blanco Honky loves you no matter what country you come from. That’s the beauty of drinking rum drinks and starting your own nation, like the Blanco Honky Nation. So honk-on honkies, and buck-up blancos, and tip back a cool one for whatever nation you find yourself in station!

Blanco + Big Hole = Whitefish

Two of Blanco Honky's most well respected Ambassadors fished the Big Hole this past weekend and had an "Epic day". Surprisingly, the Big Hole is famous for being a trash fish (trophy trout) river, but these Ambassadors dug deep and pulled out some true beauties in true Blanco Honky fashion. "We double teamed the whities" said one Ambassador, and the best part was"they never even saw us coming"! When asked what they were hitting on, the Ambassadors were a little tight lipped. However, we did manage to pry enough info out of them to know they were using bead head nymphs with little white wings. Good job guys and keep up the good work!
