Three cheers for the good folks of Louisiana!!!!!!!!!!!!

This just in, PETA has decided to abandon their protest of the 'Grand 
Isle Tarpon Rodeo' fishing tournament.  Apparently, they have decided to 
premier the "Gill the Fish" character at a SMALLER tournament in 
Alabama.  They got wind of the plans of the locals for 'Gill the Fish'.  
Dem Cajun Boys down on da' bayou wanted to gaff 'Gill' and hoist his butt 
up on the leader board under the 'Other' catagory.  Some have even talked 
of a play to make a big 'ol gumbo out of 'Gill'!!!!!!!!!

I guess once the PETA folks realized just how unpopular their 'pinhead' 
little protest is in LA, they decided to move on.  I can only applaude 
the Good People of Grand Isle for sticking up for what they know is 
right.  Here, here..............

Do you reckon that a cracker will be any more receptive to this than a
coon-ass?  I almost want to go and see what happens.  I have several
friends that went to school in fisheries at Auburn.  They are of the
genteel sort and had lots of funny cracker stories.  Hard for me to
believe that "Gill" will fare any better there than in Louisiana.  Shame
that Gill didn't show up for the recent Fishin' Fiesta in Brazoria County,
Texas.  I bet that he'd have won the boat for whomever caught him.  I
don't think anybody in the South will put up with this nonsense, hard
for me to believe any of my Yankee friends would either.  Gill had
better head to California, maybe some of the wierdos would be receptive
to his message, but I bet most of them would feel like most of the rest
of us.

Cracker, Coony, Yankee
Redneck, Hippie
I bet all would like to string up
Gill the fishy.

OK, I'm a biologist, not a poet.
