All this talk about the point brings up vivid and somewhat tearful emotions of an incident that happened to me last season. You may already know of SeaView Lures version of the casting egg we call, "The Bloody Egg". This is a tender story of the inspiration for it's development.
It was late into the fall of 2010. We were just getting past a monstrous storm off shore that had the sea in an uproar. I found myself the following morning, just before first light, at my favorite honey hole with the anticipation that this was going to be rather dangerous and I probably would be better served by not being there. In any event, here I am, at the highest location on this treacherous, ragged rock formation. I stood there with my 10' surf rod by my side surveying the darkened area for a relatively "safe" place to toss a few lures (safe being the operative word here). Places where I could normally perch myself were now nowhere to be seen. The water was high, very high! Looking to my left, I studied with pessimism my options. Seeing none, I slowly turned to my right as I scanned the rock and then it happened. BAM! I was hit chest high by a devilish rogue wave. The force of this attack undoubtedly surprised me but I remained vertical. However, the plug that was conveniently clipped to my rod was now catapulting (it seemed like slow motion) around my body much like a predatory animal circles it's prey. Oh, the lure found it's mark alright as it lodged itself into me where no guy wants to experience pain (well at least in my world).
So, there you have it. The story behind the Bloody Egg. I couldn't very well call it "My Mangled Left Nut" now, could I?
Plugologism ........ is that a word?

I'll Tell what The Point Is
The Point, I mean Thee Point, is not just the end of your hook. If we enter the Way Back Machine and send Plugo on a journey to meet with Oblio and Arrow, they then, could better than I, explain The Point.

The Adventures of Plugo - what's the point?
Plugo stopped at a nearby pub on his way back home to engage in some pointless banter with seemingly uninteresting fellows. The pub, "Wednesday's", always had a large crowd and I assume that's why no one goes there anymore. The Wednesday night patrons at Wednesday's Pub would often gather after a long day at the shore. It was there that these ordinary folk would transcend into extra ordinary and visually obsessed followers of Plugologism. Addicts of their own admission, these brethren of sorts would perform ritualistic acts with ferver in hopes of being righteously rewarded.It is apparent there were those amongst the hoard that would not possess the internal fortification needed for such commitment. Mumbling to themselves and frantically maneuvering, it was only their external motions that likened them to the true Plugologismmenites whose positioning and stature would become easily recognizable. It was those few that were continually rewarded with bountiful harvests. They were not, however, always willing to share their fruits but rather return them to their place of origin as a gesture of sustainability. They knew in their hearts that this would help the community of Plugologismmenities as a whole and would become their silent contribution.
Which brings up the question......Why is Wednesday spelled so weird?
What's the point?

The language of Plugish - elucidation cont'd
In order to dispense clarity I offer the following meanings of important terms.
Hence, we shall then reference the community in its congregational form as Plugologismmenities which, when pronounced correctly,
is (plug-ol-o-gism-men-i-tees) and not to be confused with the popular
"Plugo, I'll jism my nighties".
Many Plugologismmenities have expressed their willingness to shamelessly solicit new and meaningful language experiences. We as a community are, at present, additionally searching for a symbol, an idolic brand, recognizable to all that seek our worthy presence. This symbol shall suffice solely but may periodically be companioned with a jovial mascot whose namesake shall be "Plugo".
Please provide your entries for consideration of verbage, symbol and mascot. Our review panel shall dismiss without cause those that have no significance, bearing, or social wherewithal.
May thy lines beith tight.
- Plug - a sacrificial object
- Plugologist - a single creator of sacrifices
- Plugologism - the societal study of the Plugologist and all his creations present and past.
- Plugologismmenite (Pulg-ol-o-gism-men-nite) a singular follower.

- Plugaholism - a medical condition relating to the obsession with plugs to the point of being unhealthy and/or financially ruinous.

What's in a word anyway?
Titles are important to a lot of people, myself humbly included. So you have a choice when addressing me from this point moving forward. Either "Sire" or "Lord of the Plugs" will suffice.
I have recently transcended from the worthy, albeit, emotionally unconscious "Carpentiere Extrodoniere" to my new lofty position. The study/religion of Plugologism has hordes of followers but sadly, a minuscule count of leaders. It is with that in mind that I hereby exalt my being to that for which you shall worship the means of mine creation.
I bring you the sacrifices to the gods of Seaview Lures. Throw them at will. Time and time again. The gods will accept some of your offerings and rewards will follow. However, some wilst be battered and ejected without course. Only the loyalist of followers shall reap abundance in harvest. Therefore, do not discourage your thoughts to seek continuance for it is the repetitive penance that shall deem thee loyal. Banish all thought of abandonment. Carry forward with the instrument of sacrificial delivery held high and praise the gods of Seaview Lures and Plugologism..........is that a word?
