Is that kindergarten tuna or the 12th grade tuna? Thanks in advance!

What's the going price on Slovenian Strumpet these days, Al?

Teddy and Billy did it the old fashioned way. These days calories are so cheap that it's as likely an indication of poverty as it is anything else. $10 on a nice 3 lb chicken, or two massive bags of Doritos at Walmart? Hey, I know which one will feed a family all day long.

How true, Al.
BTW, did your S.O. get that bag of doorknobs I sent her? Now she can give you brain adjustments without having to sneak up on you to conk you with a hammer. I sent the along plans for a "Knob Cannon" in case you get on that souped up Jazzy and try to make a run for it. We can't have you trying to make off with another batch of enriched uranium from Oak Ridge every time you get off the grounds.

I could take them to the phone company's switching center. The RF from that place can be heard on Mars. Even the local strong stations on the MW band are wiped out for nearly a mile around it. Not to mention it has lobes that propagate further.
BTW, have any of you noticed with the switch to LED street and canopy lights, the companies and cities that still use HID's have cut back on the maintenance of the things? As the bulbs and ballasts slowly crap out they kick out a ton of RF.

You'd be surprised how much dolphin and shark used to get sold as "swordfish steaks" when stocks of the trendy fish of the 90's were getting depleted and the prices were going through the roof. Knowing commercial fishermen isn't always a good thing. That was the end of swordfish for me.
When Anthony Bourdain went to Chile on his original TV show, he went out on the boats. There he revealed that then trendy "Chilean Sea Bass" was a big, ugly, trash fish the locals referred to as "snotfish". Sales of "Chilean Sea Bass" went in the dumper.
Tony seems to have a personal crusade to ban the bland things from American restaurants. He's always ranting about them. He probably has nightmares about tilapia.

Skeezix, I knew a couple of EMT's back in the 80's who were being sent to Iowa to pick up a local pol who had got himself accidentally shot while hunting the huge whitetails that Iowa is known for. As they were going to be out there a couple of days while the paperwork was being ok'd and the pol cleared to travel, they thought they might drive over and see the Pacific Ocean as it was "Out that way somewhere".
I'd heard those two speculating on some stupid stuff over the years, but that was their best by a long shot. I think that county started requiring basic literacy tests for EMT's to get rid of them as they both were untouchable due to a member of the county commission being one's Uncle and the others second cousin.
