Hey! I have four versions of LL Bean boots. Five, if you count the discontinued snow boot with the mini-gaiter.

Serious duck hunters wear waders, this is true. Even dilettante duck hunters wear waders.

I tried duck for the first time a couple years ago. You can have it. At least with trout fishing there's the option of releasing the fish.

I think they are for hunting deer or anything else in the winter. But duck hunting involves ponds and water. In Looney Tunes cartoons, which I regard as definitive, Elmer Fudd et. al. are depicted hunting in row boats.

Maybe I'l break it all down in a Talk Ivy thread

^ The most glorious hunt of all I'm told.

Haha, right!


Nothing wrong with duck boots. Good for toting firewood and such.

That green jacket has perhaps the worst lapel and collar float that I have ever seen.  The man in the bow tie totally misunderstood the idea of tie width matching lapel width.

/\ thanks for the laughs Popeye Doyle!

I don't think the green guy looks so bad. I actually love the trousers.

Bow tie guy fails though. Just looks like a clown. No chance even at irony. The clownishness is just too literal.

Question of whether or not to remove hat inside spans several pages of philosophical questions interspersed with declarative assertions.
