jug number 6 dovetails with jug number 7. i don't know if there's an official connection at royal doulton but when i bought number 6 i decided to pick up number 7 even though it wasn't on my radar screen. so far i have no buyer's remorse for either jug.
this old dude is IZZAK WALTON and he is the author of the compleat angler published in 1653. of course the book is about fishing. have i ever mentioned that i enjoy fishing from time to time?
i'll bet the king is catching lots of fish in texas, great big fucking texas sized fish!
i love you sons of bitches.

Pilgrim - you been busy and I ain't been in the blog zone at all. Sorry I missed so much happening over here,
Geez, I'd love to go fish, fish, fishing... too much mulch to be laid yet.
Nice mugs. Speaking of mugs, I'll try to keep up with you better!!!
I know my Toby mugs molds are here. I believe the mold company was "blackbird" but a lot of the mold companies changed had over the years.
Coffee is on
js - i'll bet you had a few drinks in your time listening to elvin bishop talking about fishing. i sure did.
dixie - you didn't miss much other than me blathering away about some character jugs that wouldn't have intereseted me in the least 20 years ago. but now the little buggers talk to me.
dora - these are character jugs, the seller took great delight in telling me how wrong i was calling them toby jugs. but who cares, they talk to me when i'm all alone.
i just looked up the difference:
The definitive difference between the toby jug and the character jug is that a toby jug depicts the whole person, and the character jug only the head and shoulders.
now i know.
I didn't know the molds I have was just the head. I always thought they were "Toby" mugs
Now I'll use the term "character"
I haven't done any fishing here, all I've seen here is fucking muddy water.
I guess they think it is a big deal here to catch fucking perch.
no salmon in texas?
Bwahahahaha! Perch.
Well, the Gulf is pretty fucked up.
Nice job, oil industry.
thims - have you invested in bitgold?
Ha!
I see that BBC cunt's still mucking about.
Now all we need is that Leslie cunt to complete the drama.
Innit?
Oh, and requiring your commenters to prove they are not a robot, is a cunt's game.
Innit?
aquarian!
It's so nice to meet an old friend and pass the time of day
And talk about the home town a million miles away....
bbc is still the star of the show and his star is shining so brightly now that even texas is radiating in his afterglow.
long live the king!
I do love fishing. I like the bugs on this fellow's hat. They don't look much like hand tied flies, but they've got character.
