My grandfather used to catch gar in north Florida to use as fertilizer in his garden. He'd toss a minnow on a hook into open water, and when the line moved toward the center of the lake he knew a gar was on the line. He'd bring it in and blast it with a shotgun at dockside before lifting it out of the water.
I've seen them herding baitfish and bream in shallow water, their long snouts slicing the water's surface as they circled and lunged.
Rand, that’s a tough row to hoe. But you’re fighting the good fight. Godspeed!
[B]rent, your 11:22 was inspired genius.
Which compliment is in no way intended to denigrate all the other instances of inspired genius spewed all over Althouse, all the time.
It’s just that there’s so much greatitude, . . ., one can show only so much gratitude. Ann and everyone, please accept my global, heartfelt thank you!

But seriously folks, I've been obsessively pushing the SpongeBob button lately (the kids still like it) so let me recommend to everyone the episode: “Rock Bottom.” It’s not on YouTube, but it is a classic; absurdist and surreal yet immediate and funny. It’s like “Waiting for Godot” mashed up with artsy Eastern European animation, with the pretension yanked out of it by an oral sturgeon.
Okay, gotta go, the Vicodin and beer is starting to take hold and I'm feeling a little, . . ., eh, . . ., a little, . . .
P.S. I originally intended to link to Fred Flintstone shouting “Yabba dabba doooooooooooo” but I got stopped dead in my tracks by this completely bizarre cartoon cigarette commercial from the nether regions of the 4th dimension.

"Gaarhh" said the dyslexic pirate.
Your blogging deserves a garland!
Funny name for a female!
It's a lady gar - can't you tell? ;)
"Gaarhh" said the dyslexic pirate.
Sigh. It's apparently an endless job fixing this widespread misconception.
No, pirates don't say "aaarrrrggghh." They say "aaarrrr." There is no "g."
Janeane Garofalo
No. If that were her name she'd be swimming far to the left.
Finally, a good gar pic.
Ralph works for '70s-era baseball fans.
One big fish, yes, ah gar-on-tee!
SpongeGar, with Squog.
Taila Fo! Fwee fwee mowanga.
Gary?
What about Simon and Garfunkel?

Yeah, well, Bissage, I'm seriously considering "inspired genius spewed all over Althouse, all the time" for a masthead quote.
I would be greatly honored.
HUZZAH!!!

They sure don’t make ‘em like that anymore!
Ann, how dare!
"Gar"y?
Au contraire.
A Gar can scar.
It cannot compare to when my mother called me "Gare".
Aaarrrrful Gar!
Please reframe a name. And I'll refrain from posting rhyming that disdains.
