My skin is icy. Sorkin is a god. "Feckless thug." Gorgeous. Too bad amrty said "gracis tibi ago" instead of "gratias." If this sifts, I'll do some work on a full translation of the rest. =)

Yeah, the fish kind of got cropped with the reformat of the avatar image. I have 2 other downloaded images of hotties in bikinis, decked out in fly-fishing gear and wading in the stream, but I judged them to be a little too hot. Besides, I knew they were staged, and being the purist I am, I knew that hadn't a clue about fly-fishing. I couldn't disrepect the sport that way.

I fish other than fly-fish only occasionally. When I'm in the backcountry of Idaho, standing alone in a canyon stream with my fly rod, there really is that sense of becoming one with nothing. Nothing but the rhythm of the cast and the flow of the current. I love golf too, but that sport is not about becoming one with nothing, it's about wanting to kill that little round, white dwarf for not getting in the hole in the alloted strokes.

You're right of course. I know the movie wasn't really about fishing. Fishing was simply a vehicle to tell a deeper story. And that scene where Brad Pitt reeled in the big one was the most exciting depiction of fishing I've ever seen. I don't angle any more, but even when I did I never fly fished. i was always too lazy. However I recognize the skill it takes to do what was portrayed in the movie.

And was that girl in your avatar holding a fish? I didn't notice. I need rehab too.

Did you say fishing? When are we going? I have my stuff packed. OK, I admit, I'm an addict and in need of intervention and rehabilitation. However, the main point of "A River Runs Through It" was not really about fishing. It was about the flaws that bring us to ruin, and our inability to sometimes help those closest to us. (Although, aside from that last scene, my favorite part of the movie is Brad Pitt trying to land that monster in the rapids)

As for the avatar girl, never met her, don't know who she is, but I can't resist a beautiful woman holding a fish. Did I mention I'm in need of intervention and rehabilitation?

You're just a sucker for anything that involves fishing, snoozey. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Especially your avatar. I have to ask: Do you know that attractive young lady in your avatar? I'm going to keep it clean and respectful for now, because if she's your wife, sister, daughter, or other female relative I'll be really embarrassed. If not, then I'll proceed to get nasty and obscene.

You nailed my soft spot. I read the book long before the movie was made. One of the most perfect paragraphs in American literature, if not the top. I'm misty eyed and swallowing hard, it gets me every time.
