Overheard: New Uses for Old Dreadlocks


By Chris Lombardi, 5-07-06

Two thirtyish guys are having a smoke outside a Missoula motel....

[GUY1]: Yeah, well, we both had gnarly dreads when we's 18 and showed up in Missoula.
[GUY2]: What the f__k were we thinking?!
[GUY1]: F__king hippies!
[GUY2]: Yeah...good times!
[GUY1]: Still good times....
[GUY2]: You know I still got my dreads. I cut off little chunks and tie flies with 'em.
[GUY1]: No sh_t. I suppose you don't have to get too fancy. Put a good chunk of dread on a line and I bet you could catch pike.
[GUY2]: Hell, you could put a beer can on a line and catch a pike.
