Cocaine scooters and whatnot SPAM

If we all stay focused, we might hit 1,000 pages before I die...

Hopefully i live to be 120

Someone should change the title to "Slow spam and weird opinions"

Mmmmmm ! I love the smell of fresh, sizzling Spam in the morning.

(Weird opinions...not so much.)

I've never actually tasted Spam before. I mean, I enjoy ham but it's not so unreasonably priced as to force me to eat a canned, imitation version of it. No disrespect intended but ham at the deli is only like $4 or $5 a pound.

Yeah, I was going to try Spam once but when I saw the price I couldn't bring myself to buy it knowing that it probably tastes like crap.

Like? You mean that they aren't the same thing?

I don't know, I've never tried either

Canned spam actually isn't all that bad...

I don't know. I've never been a fan of canned meats. I don't even like tuna fish out of the can. I mean, if there was an emergency or a natural disaster or something, I'd probably scarf it down but otherwise, I'll stick to getting my meats from the butcher or deli.

I like albacore tuna in a can, I bought some on sale today

Best seafood I've ever had was grilled swordfish, years ago on Hilton head island, it was phenomenal

While I'm a pretty crappy fisherman, I'm lucky to have friends that are pretty good at it. I make a lot of smoked fish dip with swordfish and as long as I make some for pals, they happily donate a couple of slabs for the cause. I've also got a friend who works for a seafood place that buys fish right off the boats and he gets incredibly fresh stuff for pennies. Snapper, Grouper, Amberjack, Mahi, Yellowfin Tuna, you name it.

Dayum Davey,

That's a pretty impressive fish connection that you've made there ! I assume every loose pussy cat in the neighborhood has you on their list, no ?

F.

I live in the Midwest. Our seafood flies coach.

Yeah, that's the same deal for Ottawa.

When you can't fish and you're not rich enough to just eat at seafood restaurants all the time, you have to make friends with people who actually can catch fish. My buddy works as a charter captain and he takes rich guys out fishing for a living. They'll come back with some mahi or tuna or even kingfish and the customers take a couple filets of catch and he keeps the rest. Sometimes, he sells it to local restaurants, sometimes he keeps it. Sometimes he gives some to me. You can only keep so much fish before it's no longer fresh. I've also got a stone crab guy. I fix his generators (he lives on a houseboat) and he hooks me up with stone crabs. He sells the larger ones for $30-$40 a pound and the medium ones for $15-$20. He sells me 3 lb. bags of "floaters" (when the shell isn't completely full of meat, they'll float in water) for $25. To put it in perspective, Joe's (famous stone crab restaurant on South Beach) sells a three "large" claw appetizer for $49.99

And yes, fish carcasses and crab shells do draw flies to my garbage bin but the loose pussy comes by for other reasons.

Yep. Trying to attract women with fish carcasses never worked for me either.

1 thing I have learned in life, it's not what you know, but who you know...
