Okie Noodling

Since we are riding on a movie wave, last night Chloe and I went with our friends Eve and the Good Doctor to a PBS documentary/movie from a few years back called Okie Noodling. I have seen it once before but wanted to see it on a big screen. Oh man, it was as strange as the first time around.
My thoughts:

1. I would never in a million years put my hand in a hole where any living thing could be. I have a hard enough time with putting my fingers in a bowling ball and fearing that there they will forever remain. Those dudes are nuts!
2. Pole fishing is already too hands on for me. If you find me a fish monger I’ll get you a filet. If you give me a lake and a pole, you and me, we are gonna be hungry. Make me wade in the water for the fish and not only are we gonna starve, I am gonna die.
3. I have never in my life thought of getting my hands dirty as a good thing. I find that staying clean has benefited me a lot.
4. The word noodle is great. I like just saying it. “NOOOOOODLE! NOOOOOOOOOOOOODLE!”

Ampersand and I are going to look into starting a noodling gear company, so we can be the official outfitters of noodlers everywhere. And liftoff to another harebrained scheme!
