Fly tying is a hobby I hope will fill my fulltiming years in the future. I only tie for myself and a few friends. Maybe when I go fulltime I'll share a few of them along the river bank.

I'm wondering. Are you and I the only fly tying folks here ?
Karl said:In response to virtually no requests, I have taken it upon myself to establish a SIG (Special Interest Group) for those past and present corporate and self-employed workaholics, who have struggled with the daily ritual of strangling oneself with a piece of brightly colored fabric known as the necktie. This SIG will be known as the ?Tie Flyers?, whos' sole purpose is to rummage through the closet, select a tie, attach a string to it, and run madly down the street in an attempt to make it airborne. This may be done with or without the requisite 3-piece suit; nakedness being an option reserved for the very brave or incredibly stupid.
Competitions will be held at seldomly scheduled events, and points awarded for Highest Tie-Flyer (the tie; not the man), Aerial Tierobatics, Gaudiest Tie, and a special tie-pulling contest for 70?s era ties only, where hand-tied fishing flies are added as weight in increasing amounts until the tie-dyed tied-fly?ed tie, no longer flies.
Any suggestions to improve this sport including, but not limited to ?Sleep it off!?, are not welcome.
Now I have to go and find something useful to do with the rest of my day. Or go outside and eat worms?. :
