Welcome back to the new NEFF. Take a break from Twitter and Facebook. You don't go to Dicks for your fly fishing gear, you go to your local fly fishing store. Enjoy!

I Think I'm going to write a book...

As I sit back and think about all the years NEFF has been around and the looney events and people that I've seen pass through this sites portal, I believe it's time to write a book. I have plenty of material to write about and I have some great ideas that I've already put together. Well, at least I think they're great.

This will not be your ordinary fly fishing book! This will be fly fishing at its best. I'll be poking a lot of fun about this sport and the people who enjoy it so much so I do have a few requests as to whom I'd prefer and not prefer to read this book. If you're a fly fisherman but don't know how to read due to your extra thick craniums taking up what would otherwise be brain space, this book wont be for you. You guys are the ones who really know how to push my buttons. You can wish cancer upon my kids, make fun of my dead dog, call me a douche bucket, etc... That does not bother me at all. What bothers me is how a handful of you don't know how to read then create posts based on what you've read incorrectly. Then, you'll even argue about something you're not in the know of and stand behind it 100%!!!!! Idiots. The ones who are offended by my previous and following statements, know exactly who I'm speaking about. Anyhow, I used to do that on occasion so I can't necessarily exclude myself (but I will). If you're a person who has or has had his/her feelings hurt very easily, this book is not for you... You will certainly be in the book though. If you're someone who has edited your signature (I don't post here anymore or something along those lines) than this book might be for you but I'm not sure yet (either way, you'll pay double). Also, you can expect your own chapters just because I know how irritated you'll be to know you've made it into my book.

There is so much to talk about! No, this isn't one of those AK books that he occasionally enters people into. This is a real book with real pages that I've already started. It's sure to be an interesting read for those of you who can afford it.

I'll be revealing all types of super secret trout streams, fly recipies, and guides to avoid like the plague from Montana to NJ! Hey... even bad publicity is good publicity...

Anyhow, I have to run along now. If you have an old memory you would like to share, I'd love to hear about it... (Positive or Negative). Shit... if you can't make fun of yourself, what's the point...

I think the entire book should just be about me.

After all.. everyone on this board is so interested
in where I live, my fear of bears, what I do, where I fish,
where I travel to...my favourite beer, and the list goes on and on.

Christ! even other fishing boards quote me, their member's are
in awe of me... they can't help but post about me.

Oh yeah.. it should be all about me.

A BEST SELLER if there ever was one.

As always, allowing other's to live vicariously through me.

Put me down for two...

I read in stereo (It helps me avoid "apparently sucking at reading").

A few musts to include:

Wild Trout Nazis -- the folks who get pissed whenever someone posts about a wild trout stream...

Kilgour -- at least he doesn't shoot at you like his uncle

DRF vs. FUDR: Can't we all just get along?
 
If it comes with a trophy, I'll be sure to buy it.
Hmmmm. I'll have to put some thought into this one.

You're too funny.

Will it have Pictures??? Yes, I will be using my photoshop skills to enhance, modify, or change pictures to a context that best suits the paragraph it's going to represent.
Can I write the foreword?? No way Jose.
How many pages will it be?? Hahahahaha... Have you seen my rants?
Will I be able to download it to my kindle? For an additional fee.
Are you getting an advance for writing this book? NO
Are you going on a book tour? It will be streamside and unannounced. Just be sure to have your book with you at all times.
When will you be in my neck of the woods? Hmmmmmmm.
Can I get an autograph Copy? Of course.
Will that copy be worth anything? Keep it by your toilet... Should you run out of TP, you can use the pages of this book. Be careful though, it might burn your ass.
Are you going to do speaking engagements? No
How much will you charge? Depends on who's buying it.
Is your book Fiction or non-fiction? Both
Am I presented in a positive or negative light? I will not reveal any book secrets at this time.
Who Is the main Character? Everyone.
Whats the main plot? To see who comes after me and with what weapons. This will be in my next book.
Is it a think Piece? Yes... When you're in Barnes & Noble, you will pick it up, read the first page or two and say to yourself, "I think I'll pass".

I mean dont leave us hanging.
How do you keep a moron in suspense? Tell you later. :)

Be sure you post that picture I took of you with that big brown trout this spring. Maybe even make it a cover shot. That will really drum up the sales:crap:

And so the sponging begins.

See Dennis, now that you are an AUTHOR, the sycophants and hangers-on will be jockeying for position...

Let me give you the coded message in this quoted post:

"Hey everybody... I know Dennis the author personally... I spent the whole day with Dennis the author. We spent the whole day fishing together. Dennis the author is probably going to write a chapter about... ME! Did I mention that I've hung out with Dennis the author?"

:)

oh yeah? Well, I used to live around the block from Dennis the author!

You forgot.."Dennis the Author is my firend"...your jealousy is quite disconcerting. Maybe you should write a book..I mean I know your busy being a teacher and all but maybe you could squeeze it in during the busy summer months:)
 
Friend Schmend...

Jealous... yeah right...

But maybe I WILL write a book... It'll be better than any ole book HE could ever write...



SUMMER! I've been informed by someone on this board that I'm going to experience QUITE the windfall. Since it seems I'll be retiring early, I'll have plenty of time to get the book thing squared away, anytime. ;)
 
Who needs friends when I have all of these enemies?

I thought everyone who fly fishes wrote a book...
Joe, you're right but....
1. Almost everyone writes a book (not quite everyone).

2. Some of those who can't write books and/or articles try to surround themselves with and have their pictures taken with the people who do write books and/or articles. These guys are called, Wannabies. Some guys will do anything to make a name for themselves even if it means mooching off of someone elses hard work.

3. While everyone probably says they will write a different book than everyone else, they carry on with their favorite flies and maybe a quick lesson on how to tie their variation of someone elses hard work, when and where to use them, GPS coordinates to their favorite access spots, etc... Essentially, everones book looks just like the last guys book with the difference being an exceptional picture every now and then.

My book will be different because I don't plan on writing about any of that crap you've already read about countless times. I'm also sure to not have anyone follow me around (EVER) after reading my book. The only thing I can guarantee is that when my book is completed, I'll have rocks thrown at me while I'm fishing, my car vandalized, etc...

Be sure you post that picture I took of you with that big brown trout this spring. Maybe even make it a cover shot. That will really drum up the sales:crap:
You mean the one with the thumb over the lens! I'm just glad I'm so good looking, it really makes up for the poor quality of the photo.

Will you, like, have pictures of naked chicks in your book? If so, then your book will be better than everyone elses, and will not suck. And no one will throw rocks or shoot "a line of fire" at you from the trees.

Yes but at the time you didn't realize that i did that on purpose. Now you have the most interesting book cover. it will surely spur sales of your book...that is until they read the table of contents

See John..He is my friend...well at least until I took that picture he was

You mean that doesn't happen already?

Anyway, Have you come up with a title? Something like "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum"? Maybe "Hook, Line & Stinker?"

I like keeping it edgy but naked chicks? Edgy for some of the folks who visit this site is farting in private. They probably excuse themselves. :) Naked chicks... Always a possibility, have anyone in mind?

and.... I almost forgot about being shot at through the trees! Thanks for the reminder!

Yes, Trout Nazi refeshed my memory.

I like the first title but not so much the second. Hmmmm, I have to start writing this stuff down because I'll forget. I will be keeping a notebook with me for now on. Every idea that squeezes into my head will be spit out onto paper.
 
I think the entire book should be on the Toms River and why this river is the one which should be restored with Sea Run brookies, also mentioning it's got the best TCA in the state ;) :D
 
Dennis , bet you didnt know I publish books.......we only do small runs......you know how to reach me.........
 
As if reading your long winded posts wasn't mind draining enough now a whole book of this dribble. Yeash!:beingsick:
