If you know me, you'd know why I would buy such a thing.



To go with my moose jawbone. Or piece of Mayan pottery, notes from Michael Grotto in the fourth grade, jar filled with Spanish moss, or rocks from Hither Hills ('84-'88) where I caught my first bluefish and learned about setting the drag on a reel -- how you catch your second during a run. I thought they were cool and still do.
Thats an enormous hinge in the first picture by the way, that I payed 6 euros for. You know its old, and I'm going to guess its pretty much the biggest hinge in anyone's private collection that you know.
The figure is a boy with a carp that just jumped out at me (we are a fishing family after all). We bought both at a great little hole in the wall in Naarden; when some time passes, I'm sure it will redeem the food poisoning...

Mike - is there a huge hinge that goes with that door?
That looks like a great spot at Montauk; is that also where you were attacked by greenheads? (another great fishing experience)
The picture of James in his chair standing amongst the empties will look good in his dorm room. Over here the cops don't believe you were bringing them to be recycled...
