Trout Tabloid
Trout Tabloid is something dredged up from the depths. It is a scandal inspired by an 18th-century theologian and angler who sought to deduce the existence of God by amputating the individual fins of a fish and observing, by this circuitous route, its purpose — and hence the complex purpose of the universe.
