Noodlin'

My wonderful friend Michael Pacas just sent this video to me and I am stunned, giggly and slightly turned on.

Welcome to a little thing they do down Arkansas way called Noodlin'.

These are fishermen - - for lack of a better word - - who stick their arms into the mouths of huge catfish and then lift the fish out of the water.

Yeah.

The fish bite them, it's bloody and in my opinion, it's just one more reason why The South lost the war.

Check out Anderson Cooper's report on Noodlin'...



In the clip, Anderson says, "That's Noodlin'. I want to go Noodlin'."

Anderson, if you want to stick your hand into a hole... Well, I won't say any more. Just call me.

I'd never stick my hand that far into a fish...

(I'm gonna let that one lie there...discuss among yahselves...)

I think the rest of the country calls it fisting.

Stephen R. said...

Aaron - A finger, yes, but my whole fist? Well, isn't that uncomfortable?

Michael - The rest of the country calls it fisting. I call it Saturday.

I'm sure Anderson Cooper has been noodlin' before, but it wasn't with fish, m'kay???

Mark :-)

I'm actually shocked that they have let this news OUT.

Stephen R. said...

Mark - I want to be invited to Anderson's next Noodlin' session!

A Twisted Thought - I'm sure those Southerners are proud they made the news on CNN. Remember when CNN actually reported the news?

Weird, very weird. I am impressed with the size of those fish, and enjoyed the size of that first guy's biceps. I wonder, however, about the size of his brain. And that's all the size wonderin' I'm gonna do with this one.

your last sentence slayed me.
am dead now.

Michael said...

Wait, the rest of the country calls it fisting. Don't you call it "the weekend"?

Stephen R. said...

Java - Suddenly, I feel like I should sing WHAT'S THE USE OF WONDERIN'! And I too wonder about the size of their brains. However, the size of other things on their bodies, I don't wonder about at all. :)

Tiffany - You're too pretty to slay! I just wanted Anderson to know where he can stick it if he feels like it. And you KNOW he feels like it!

McCool - Oh, I would LOVE to see that video!!! Whippin' it out and having those fish chomp down on their man-poles. Or perhaps they prefer to spear those fish with their man-poles. Either way, it would be ridiculous and sex-inspiring at the same time!

Michael - Not just "the weekend." I call it "anytime I can get it!"

this is just bizarre.

the expression on Coop's face is priceless and i interpret it as:

"Stephen Rader, would you please noodle me?"

Stephen R. said...

Shirley Heezgay - Don't tease me. Cause you know nothing would make me happier than for The Coop to Noddle me. All my wildest dreams come true.

Fisting, Stephen? I gots me all kinds of questions for you, Mister Man.

(And damn! -- every time I see that pic of you as the Riddler you get more adorable! How is that possible...?)

Stephen R. said...

Dirk - Bring on the questions, Sir. Hell, bring on anything you like. I can take it. :)

And you think I'm adorable? You're The Adorable Dirk. Nothing quite tops how cute you are.
