Don't eat fish

ray a

How dare you eat fish - per PETA.

"Fish are so misunderstood because they're so far removed from our daily lives. They're such interesting, fascinating individuals, yet they're so incredibly abused," said the PETA Empathy Project manager.

I guess, I'll have to buy a goldfish and keep it as a pet so that I can get to know fish better. Or maybe go swimming more often.

Whatever

The problem is it is very hard to have a two-sided conversation with a fish. Whenever I try, I get a drowning sensation. Maybe they should have spent more time in school. As it is, they seem to be lost at sea. On a scale of 1-10, they rate a 5. However, in some areas, they due swimmingly.

Great response, Whatever. I was floundering around with a response and saw yours.

Thanks,

Geez, Ray, you come back after being off the forum for awhile and a fish post is the best you can come up with? x;-)

Mythbusters actually did an experiment to prove or dispel the myth that goldfish only have a 3-second memory capacity. Lo and behold, goldfish can remember things for up to 40 seconds!

Who says fish are dumb? x;-)

Well Beagle, my line reeled you in. So quit carping.

Very punny. x;-)

I agree! Fish is yucky - eat steak instead! x:-)

Aw come on now mwild31, instead of going pheasant hunting this past weekend I spent a total of four hours, two on Saturday and two on Sunday, at the local ‘pond’ and caught five trout both days. Sunday afternoon I started the grill, filled the trout with real butter and giant chunks of garlic, wrapped them in hd foil and cooked em up. They were a great compliment to the steaks I cooked right beside them.

People Eating Tasty Animals (PETA) is alive and well in KS.

Eck! Other than the steak, it sounds just awful, Safety. x:-)

Living in the nation's capital of salmon and other seacreatures (not to mention the home of that market where people throw fish at each other and call it a management tool), I'm kind of surprised you don't like fish, Mwild. x;-)

mwild31

Yep. Spooky, huh.

Between last Thursday and Sunday, my son and I slipped up behind 143 of them suckers, mean-spiritedly snatched them from their home and away from their families and children, into the air, dumped them in a cooler, sliced out their entrails, ran an electric knife from one end to the other and flipped them over and did it again. Then, to continue this cruelty and inhumanity to our fellow beings, we stuffed them into ziplock bags and put them in an electric box where the temp is somewhere around zero. Course if I coulda found Jesus, we would have only needed one fish.

(that was a joke, no stoning please. God loves a good joke. He spoke to me about that.)

Amen brother... With all the stuff that goes on around here I am convinced that God has a sense of humor.
Shall we gather at the fishin' hole....

See ya about 6AM on Saturday.

....and speaking of jokes that involve God and carnivores: If God hadn't meant for us to eat animals, he wouldn't have made them out of meat. x:D (Sorry if y'all've heard that one a million times.)

I'm impressed that you, or anyone else, can properly punctuate y'all've. That one would throw Sam, who is obsessed about things punctuational.

But, back to fish and PETA. How many of you know that the American Medical Association published a paper concluding that fish is the only food that absolutely does not cause flatulence? It's true. Now if you have fried fish, baked beans, cole slaw and banana pudding, the paper didn't address that.

Whirlwind

Yes, Don, one of the things that you and I have in common is irritation at the incorrect spelling of "y'all." It's always bugged me.

As to fish and lack of flatulence, it's a good theory, but I'm not sure what the point of fried fish would be without beans and slaw.

System

Well, I've never heard of a double contraction in one word before like y'all've. I have to ponder on that one for a bit and get back to you.

I'll've had to've done some research.

Don D

I'm sending you off'n-away to study that and you'll've come up with a reasonable'n'satisfactory 'splainin' of it directly.

Don D

Well, we've'll waited most of the day by the end of the hour. What's the result of your research? You have 206 hours left for a response.

System

I'm taking my time and doing it right. I've'nt had this much research since I go'ed to college.
