When the staff here at Mile 14 heard that one about the state of affairs in this big ol fish pond they went into executive session to try and figure out what it all means for people like us. Of course opportunity is everywhere these days and after a few Pacifico's and an hour in the Hot tub the editorial department came up with a third designation....we have Real news, we have Fake news and at Mile 14 we have Really Fake news....but the Mile 14 people have been way ahead of the current trends, we've been on the cutting edge of that deal for years, after all even at the Kenai River Guide Academy they had a segment on posing fish, rounding off weights and totals and the 'one that got away '....you know , fisherman code for ' boy did I screw that up '.
There's a pic of me me holding up at 28 pound Pargo I caught the other day. 200 people on the beach witnessed this catch and boy did I feel like Tiger Woods with a gallery of on lookers. It's a good thing I'm a retired Body Builder because I held that fish like that for 25 minutes while my personal assistant ( who is also a professional photographer ) tried different angles and aperture settings. If you remember my goal for this year was a huge Pargo so now I'm shifting my goals to catching a Marlin from the beach...
I gave MP a day off and she decided to go to the Casino figuring we could use another cash injection like the 2 one hundred dollar bills I found in the road a while back. Well that woman is lucky , lucky , lucky.....she was playing 20 lines and only a few minutes into the session that Medussa vrs Supeman Machine just started a singing. The racket went on for a good ten minutes and when it quit the Mile 14 crew on a holiday was up over 30,000 Centavo's....that's right 30,000 . Now I know she don't look all that happy in the picture but it's only because the security was just approaching me with that same ol ' no, no . no camera's in the casino senor deal '.
Is that a sweet ride or what ? Well, I'm in negotiations to buy that Ford Falcon for the crew here at Mile 14 Latin America Bureau. They kinda figure that being mobile might make for better reporting and help ease the stress over meeting those brutal deadlines. Problem is that the owner fit a 426 Mustang motor into it and I kinda feel like that if I'm dropping that much lettuce on a classic car it oughta be original. This guy just doesn't understand how 6 cylinders could be better that 8. I told him that in this new news climate ya just can't be making things up. When people look you car up on Wikipedia and it says 6 cylinder with 3 on the tree it better be 6 cylinder with three on the tree.
There's my new luggage set. I got it at a garage sale a guy from Calgary was having. What a deal. I got it for only 20 bucks USA which is 30 Canadian. Pure genius, I started out with an offer in Peso' s and then shifted him to U.S. currency when he got a bit confused doing the math. This stuff is gonna come in real handy at the next Bonspieler I compete in.
There's another pic of my personal assistant, boy has she been busy. I know it looks a lot like she and our friend Cindy are at some kind of weird protest march or demonstration but that couldn't be farther from the ' real' truth. That's actually a self portrait acrylic on canvas piece that MP did back in the 1970's while studying under the famous Paula Weller at the University of Montana. Those girls are all smiles because a lady just bought it for 4000 peso because she thinks it's Madonna. Wow, another big cash injection to keep the engine that is Mile 14 running...way to go girls.
Did I ever tell you about the carpenter I worked with once that told me he was a lead man on the Pyramid of Cheops project ??????
And then there was the guy I worked with that invented the scissor truss....mmmmmm.....
Add your ' REALLY FAKE NEWS ' here :
Damn, Lucky you had a long sleeve loose shirt on so we didn't have to see those bulging biceps at work. Maybe MP should do another although 4000 pecos isn't that much these days is it?
