Today’s three words may not seem interwoven at first, but there is a connection created simply because
Search. Destroy. Quiche.
Each Wednesday afternoon here at the Fish Wrap, I bang out the various fishing, hunting and wildlife viewing outlooks, affectionately known in the business as Search and Destroy.
For many, reading the stories and columns in the Fish Wrap’s Thursday Outdoors Section is a nice little respite from reality. But it’s Search and Destroy that really pays the light bill here.
Outlook readers are looking for very specific information on where to fish for what species. The Search.
Wanna catch a steelhead? Try the upper Rogue River. Sturgeon? The lower Umpqua has them, but they’re not biting very well.
And, of course, the whole point of the search is the Destroy. Turning eyes into X’s. A carcass for the barbecue, another for the smoker.
Search and Destroy. They’re as macho a combo as a shot and a beer.
If only the Fish Wrap faithful realized that I often bang out the Search and Destroy while eating quiche for lunch. Spinach quiche, no doubt.
If the boys only knew, maybe they wouldn’t design their whole fish-whacking weekend around some stupid Quiche-Eater. That’s gotta sound half-way to vegan for some of the boys.
