If you allow ice fishing, the next thing you’ll get is ice shanties. We all know where that leads: prostitution! On the ice!
Our lakes are covered with ice houses right now, I don’t know that there is much of a prostitution problem. And if there were, so what? If some enterprising young woman or man sees a market opportunity, let ’em. That’s just capitalism, you know.
I wonder what’s in his browser history
Someone has a dirty mind and it isn’t the fishermen.
When I put: ice fishing prostitution
into a search engine, versions of this story are the only thing that show up.
Sounds like trouble with a capital I and F, but how do you set it to music?
Everybody add a red and/or pink lights to their ice shanty!
Of course. It could lead to DANCING!
Am I the only one who hasn’t a clue what an Ice Shanty is? I’m guessing some kind of jolly work song, like a Sea Shanty, but… colder? Is that it?
Ice fishing: hooks and hookers on ice.
@7 Clearly an ice shanty is a rum drink since that is what ice fishing leads to.

I couldn’t find any ice shanties, but I found this pirate shanty.

Is this what ice prostitution leads us to?

It’s like a capade, but with parrots ‘n peg legs instead of sequins and spandex.
He’s a national treasure and should be treated accordingly, for indeed, he’s the living exemplar as to why we got rid of lead paint chips for children to chew.
Even money as well that his brain is a wonderful shade of vermilion as well…
Shit, now this is stuck in my head…
How did everyone in that room not burst out laughing in that moron’s face?
Appropriate Shanty # 37:
“Blow, me bully boys, blow”
Pirate shanty? Is it Ragnar the Pirate from the film Atlas Shrugged that has arrived to Ohio?
Solving “dumb politician” problem.
I just learned an AI has beaten some of the best players in Gran Turismo Sport. Maybe the average Republican politician could be replaced by , or at least augmented with AI to prevent Trump/BoJo-level mistakes?
To avoid problems like with the AI Colossus (old-timers will remember that film) it should only be allowed for town-or state-level politicians.
This clown is clearly projecting…. I’ve been ice fishing since childhood and the best part about it for me is the tranquility.
I suspect class issues. I used to live near Hudson; very tony with a bad case of better than you. Where I live now there a place a place across the river that rents ice shanties (called camps in these parts) for the alewife run. I now suppose that it is secretly a brothel.

We don’t need to wait for complex AIs for that. A magic eight ball would do a much better job than Trump or the Tories.
“alewife run”?!
Ale… wife…That’s pretty suggestive in itself. Alcohol and prostitution!
Completely OT
A third planet has been spotted orbiting Proxima Centauri (not in the habitable zone).
“Another data point to consider…”
If you allow ice fishing, the next thing people will want are ice shanties. And you know where that leads – illegal showings of full Broadway musicals to packed audiences. Another data point to consider. I think that’s what “data point” means.
In Minnesota, glory hole is what they call the winning spot at an ice fishing contest.
Sex on the ice? That would give a whole new meaning to the term “blue balls”.
@4
I wonder if they have a pool hall in town.
