[Media stalwart Larry King recently announced that he plans to quit his namesake TV show later this year. Fans of softball questions and suspenders were devastated.
I don’t remember ever watching an episode of “Larry King Live” in its entirety. Occasionally I’d see a snippet on some other news program or get a short segment as part of a viral email, but the show itself held minimal appeal. His columns in USA Today, though, always produced a chuckle or two – but due to the fact that I rarely read McNewspaper, I didn’t know that he’d quit writing them almost a decade ago.
In honor of his retirement, and his many wives, I’ll take one last stab at producing a Larry King newspaper column about fishing.]
Is it just me, or does nothing roll off the tongue like “Jose Wejebe”?..........Mark my words, someone, somewhere is going to win a major tournament on a Jitterbug in the near future……….Anyone care to guess where the BASS postseason will be held in 2012?..........Every time they announce Roland Martin is going to be on CNN, I expect to see Clewiston’s finest, not the political commentator……….Do green pumpkins exist in nature?..........I have it on good authority that Melville’s first draft of “Moby Dick” started off “Call me Ishama”……….Believe it or not, Charlie Hartley is nicer than he seems, and that’s saying something……….Why doesn’t anyone make a good 9/32 ounce flipping jig?..........I get goosebumps at the sound of the word Zapata.
