Remember when we are going to paddle up the Niagara Falls?
Friend Kayak Jack,
Been inta the Ole Langzyne agin?
One year back when I paddled, stead a jest talkin' bout paddlin', I wuz up ta North Caroliney when I heard bout a young kayaker who run them falls. Its some young fellas (mostly) that caint git off the drenaline 'n go lookin' fer all the steep creeks when it comes a hoodoochie.
Anyway, this fella (best I recall he wuz frum Ocoee, Tennessee which iz jest a few miles east a Cleveland) figgered he jest caint hold down a 9 ta 5, so he aimed ta head fer Hollywood 'n give movie stunts a try. [Kinda like Burt Reynolds done.]
He figgered the Hollywood folk would take a shine ta a fella with a book a good stunt deeds, so he made hizself a list a stunts 'n set out ta do each one fer hiz stunt book.
In one way he wuz a smart fella, cuz if he had done all the stunts on hiz list, the Hollywood folks were bound ta give him a job rite off. In anuther way he warnt so smart cuz one of hiz stunts wuz kayakin' off the Niagra Falls. He run 'em okay.....least az fer az anybody knows. They found hiz kayak kinda tore up, but nobody seen hide nor hair of him since.
I hear he wore hiz lifesaver 'n hiz hard hat, but them falls jest aint eazy ta run. I figger ya gotta line up way over ta the east side 'n come back real fast so ya kin catch the power house tongue on the inside.
Some folks sez he aimed ta die. I sho hope so, cuz I'd sho hate ta be known fer bein' that dumb.
