Well here we are at the finally essay on casting.  Hopefully you noticed a subtle secret.  Casting extreme distances is no different than a basic four part cast.
There is no added strength.  Drifting is probably the only real change in technique.  All we really learned is how to be more efficient.  That’s enough.  Distance is [...]

Sorry Ladies…no cheesy pics of singers or actresses – the object of my desire is a platter of meatballs.  Make no mistake I would kill all of you for a decent meatball.  God I’m so hungry, today I ate a bag of frozen corn…times are tough.  And if you aren’t supposed to put metal in [...]

“I’m hosting a quiz show, but I never considered myself a game show host.”
Maury Povich
If Maury Povich has taught us nothing, it is that timing is everything.  This is as true for matters of paternity as it is for fly casting.  He also taught us that a man with one testicle can father 17 [...]

“Mirror Mirror on the wall who is fairest of them all?”
“I’ve been ogling women forever and a day,
Even Helen of Troy pales to Aishwarya Rai!”
I figure the Positive Stop is the hardest part of the cast so why not start off with a picture of the most beautiful woman ever to live – all our [...]

Decided to get back to Flyosophy’s roots: finding tenuous reasons to post pics of beautiful women with musical talent.  Playing the piano is probably the third hottest thing a woman can do fully dressed…I’ll leave it up to your imagination to discover the second.  Naturally, the first is making a Bacon Cheeseburger Meatloaf.
Back to your [...]

There is an old adage in education. One can only teach those willing to learn.  Like most sayings, it is true to a point.  Back when I was a teacher you would hear this primarily as an excuse for poor test scores.  The inverse of this is also true, to a point.  That if a [...]

2009 has not been my best year, and I doubt I’ll be sad to see it go. 
I rang in 2009 on a snow covered highway with a flat tire.  I had been working and there are a few things about my job which you should know to fully appreciate what happened next.  I essentially work [...]

 
Seriously, let’s look at the Holiday Season in a little more depth, specifically the five major holidays which of which the season is comprised: Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Festivus, and New Years Day.   
Christmas is the big daddy of the season, in fact it is likely Kwanzaa or Festivus would not even exist without it, and [...]

I can remember the very first fly I ever tied. 
Not physically tied of course.  My father had me sitting in front of a vise literally before I can remember.  When other kids were watching Big Bird with joy and love, I was pondering how best to murder him and use his feathers to hackle Seaducers.  [...]

Senior Class Superlatives – as if the high school years weren’t hard enough on an adolescent’s sense of security.  I posted this dusty pic of the Flyosopher wearing his patented (D447,556) ”Douche-Face” not to brag, but to pose a question.
Who truly was the “Most Likely to Succeed?”  The picture shows two students, which is grammatically impossible [...]
