"Noodlers for Obama"

No, folks, I am not making this up.

Obama now needs to learn how to appeal to the "common" man and woman in Oklahoma, and one pundit is proclaiming that noodling is the way to do it.
As the pundit says, "What Obama needs is someone who can noodle."
No, what Obama needs is educated voters who aren't dead because some catfish took them out in a lake somewhere in Oklahoma. It's a wonder (now I'm piecing things together) as to why so many bodies disappear in so many lakes in Oklahoma. Every week, at least, The Oklahoman is able to run "Cold Case: OKC" as its banner story with a missing person case that hasn't been solved in 20, 30, maybe even 40 years.
Someone needs to start questioning the catfish.
Those of you who are from the North may never have heard of the concept of "noodling." And that's a good thing, trust me. A large portion of "Okies" have not heard of it, either, based on my own informal survey of the Okies I know.
Noodling is a hobby in Oklahoma, Texas, Alabama, Arkansas, basically a lot of Southern states where human beings want to take on larger-than-life catfish in lakes. The human beings use their own arms (yes, willingly) as bait to attract the catfish, then somehow the catfish clasps onto the human's arm, and the human yanks up and apparently, catches a catfish.
Or the catfish wins, and then no one ever hears from Earl or Nandine again. And then there's a "Cold Case: OKC" story about Earl or Nandine years later and a writer becomes famous for penning a novel about the murder mystery.
If you want to see more, search for "noodling" on YouTube. You won't believe the number of videos that are available.
I have never been noodling. I will not go noodling. There is something called a Noodling Fest in Paul's Valley, Okla., which I've only passed on my way to Dallas.
Sometimes, the car can't move quickly enough.
