The founding member of The Hookers, Tomski recently returned from an goodwill visit to China. Traveling at the request of the Tournament Office with an unlimited per diem, this beloved fishing amBASSador shared his experiences and fishing skills with his Chinese guests. As Chairman of the Overseas Subcommittee on Fishing Relations, Tomski is no stranger to foreign travel on behalf of the Tournament Office with previous trips to Spain, Germany and Canada. These trips allow Tomski to spread the word about the style and techniques of lunchtime fishing at a high energy physics laboratory.Seen in the photo above with the Great Wall in the background, Tomski's speaking tour included stops at bait shops in and around Beijing.When asked about the structure, Tomski replied "It's good, I'll give them that, but since it predated DOE 413.3, there some obvious improvements that could have been made." When questioned on the management approach to the Great Wall, the state sponsered translator stated that the construction was more of a "campaign" than a project and therefore didn't need to follow the same rules. The goodwill ambassador had his guests befuddled and amused when he mentioned that the entire length of the great wall was built without any significant cross bracing, a common design strategy utilized back home by conservative "designers". Tom also had time to interact and spend "hands on" time with the local population, dining out often as well as other activities. In fact, by the end of the trip the locals referred to Tom as 薖 烟雾 (kē yān wù ) which crudely translates to "big hungry-looking smoke"
The Tournament Office congratulates Tomski on his successful trip.
