BREAKING NEWS - MUSKRAT SHORTAGE UPDATE!
Turns out my friend Tiska DID know something about the muskrat shortage. His report follows:
so.... yeah... the muskrat shortage was big news man. They had an article about this old dude that had been wading through waste-deep december swamps setting leg snare traps since before he could walk. That was before they got banned for being cruel... (muskrats got snared and then drowned in the high tide) then they had to use live traps that floated or something silly. It was this funny story though, this dude all talking like the world has gone to crap cause no one catches muskrats anymore... like I think he was convinced that it was the national past-time at one time. Made it sound like muskrat opening day was like trout season opening day.... thousands of dudes wading through stinky swamps at low tide picking up their drowned muskrats... sitting on the tailgate skinning muskrat... BBQin them with some friends over a few brews... and now nobody does it... too busy with their computer games and whatnot. a real tragedy.
a damn shame.
(not really)
tradition is stupid.
