Once Upon A Googan!

[RIfoosball]

Well....I didn't know what a Googan was until I read this thread....and know I'm one because as I was reading through the tales I kept saying to myself, "I wonder what's wrong with that?"

It reminds me of a proverb that I like to live by:

A man who knows not and knows he knows not is a child, teach him.
A man who thinks he knows but knows not is a fool, shun him.
A man who knows what he knows is a wise man, follow him.


I believe that living one's entire life as a combination of child, teacher and wise man is not bad.

I don't know where the term as used here came from but they have their own site.
When I worked at Killington in the early 70s we used to call the skiing equivalent "turkeys" Some of them became skiers. Funny, I don't remember any girl turkeys.

Freshwater googan story. Me and a buddy were fishing opening day Trout 5yrs ago . We were in my 10ft coleman crawdad pushed by a 34lb thrust trolling motor anyway we decided to move out of the cove we were in to the open lake. We reel in and hunker down against the wind and I crank the motor to hi. Well a few minutes later I look to the bank and we made a little headway but not much. Now the banks are full of people when out of the early morning silence comes a voice ( YOUR DRAGGIN YOUR ANCHOR) followed by thunderous lafter. It was a long ride out of that cove, after I pulled the anchor of course.
