Walking Stick Fishing Pole: Perfect for Dr. House's Days Off?
Posted by Gizmodo US Edition at 8:59 PM on June 27, 2008
A walking stick, with a catch. Well, potentially a catch anyway: with a reel and fishing line, this mashup gadget enables you to combined fishing with your countryside strolls. It's 89cm high, with a rubber foot and metal/plastic reel, and is available now for US$39.95. On second thoughts, House wouldn't so much use this for fishing for fish, as much as for views up nurse's skirts. The advertising doesn't suggest that though. [Product via Nerd Approved]

House would wake up in a daze and find the reel missing, then continue to use the cane anyway.
Then the reel would show up and awkwardness and hilarity would ensue.
(Hey as long as they trot his boss out on a regular basis I'm fine.)
Great show.
Also fishing cane is good for the fishing able.

@strider_mt2k: No, House would take one look at it and say, "Nice try, Chase, but if you're going to get me out of your hair, you might want to try stapling a comely young lass with huge tracts of land to my cane instead of this cheap reel you got from the dollar store. Blonde if they got 'em. Speaking of blondes hanging around dollar stores, anyone seen Cameron? I'm feeling ornery and bad-mouthing Chase just doesn't cut it anymore."
OMG! Ponies!

I bet I know the slogan for this.
"Pimp your bitches as you fish, with the pimp can fishing rod 3000"
Awesome.

@Curves: Except, of course, a separate cane and fishing rod.

Old guys love to fish and in my state they do not require a license (being over 65). Perfect gift for the geezer that has everything.

I don't know about y'all, but my grampa would have ended up with the hook attached to his pants, dragging the cane along behind him by 20 yards of fishing line.

Oh, great, as if geezers like me need something ELSE for young babes to laugh at us for on the boardwalk....

So ... the point of this is to help a differently-abled fisherperson to get to a dock by the bay, where one can cast the line into the water, and with luck snag a Cyprinidae of some sort, flip it up onto the dock then club it to death with the cane?
Or is this a way for Gramps to walk down the street and cast his lascivious line at all the pretty girls for an an old-fashioned upskirt?

@WinkMe: You should check him out in the Blackadder series with Mr. Bean (it's actually pretty funny).

There's no doubt that this item would come in contact with certain of Cuddy's undergarments long before it would come in contact with a fish.

Hmm... post doesn't seem to be working right, I hope this isn't doubled.
@WinkMe: Um... you didn't know Hugh Laurie was British?
Anyone who wants a nifty replica of House's flame cane can get it here.

@Toshie: Just to prove the point, here's Hugh in action in a programme I used to watch yonks ago "A bit of Fry and Laurie". And for extra fun... he's got a fishing rod :-)
