Sandwiched between two big pieces of SPAM.

@ SP -


@ Demo - wow. just put it on blast then. theres a possibility that i might sort of be that kind of girl sometimes, there was this one time.

I haven't had bluefin in a long time, but it's easy to understand why it's so sought after.

Cat, dogs... for me it would be horse... but I guess any of it would be good if I was hungry enough. Lewis & Clark ate quite a bit of horse and dog across the mountains.

i'm too much of a dog lover, i would be upset :P

Well, sure.

Like, if I were on a Chilean soccer team, and our plane crashed into a mountain and there was no food left, I'd be all about cutting up whoever was the most fresh dead guy. Probably the pilot, since he's the one who put us all there in the first place.


@SP - that is an awesome clip. The downside is that the drink he has in the Oval Office looks delicious and then they go on to talk about crabs and other delicious foods and now I'm hungry.

@F1098 - Hornless goat? Seems strange to me that they use euphemisms for those animals on their menu. Why not be honest about it and let the guests choose if they're comfortable eating those friendly little animals?

But while eating dogs and cats is, to me, morally problematic, eating any kind of endangered species is, in my opinion, reprehensible and the height of human arrogance.

Are bluefins endangered now? They've been listed on the do-not-eat list for their high levels of heavy metals for a good while, and I know that stocks have dropped dramatically. I would assume not, since there is still a US season on them. If recall correctly, the fear is that the numbers could reach a crash level, and go the way of the passenger pigeon.

Regardless, the Japanese will continue fishing for them until the last one is found, if left to their own device.

They are on the "species of concern" list. Meaning they are one step away fro being on the endangered list.

OK seriously. I just had a guy who is a vender of ours reply back to my email VERY flirtatiously. kind of brought me up short not knowing how to reply, especially because the service manager is copied on the email string. its like ok do i reply back to him and leave off the other guy or what?

flirting is not my thing when im at work, i dont even know how to respond :P



on another work note. my other boss is waxing my jeep again. hes doing the grill right now. he says hes going to do one panel a day

Depends on the species.

The Pacific Bluefin is okay.

The Atlantic (aka. Northern) Bluefin is endangered.

The Southern Bluefin is critically endangered.

i cant imagine eating an endangered species or ones that even close to it.... why would you even want to do it?

I'd reply in a very business like manor, and leave the other guy on. Unless of course you like the guy. lol

So how is all this wax on/wax off making your jeep look? You should suggest they just give you a raise, so you can buy a new Jeep, and then they won't have to polish it.

it looks really good, except for the passenger side and the back of it..... which looks faded as fuck all.

i've made that suggestion several times

Inasmuch as I give moral scores to anything (which is to say I believe morality is almost entirely subjective), I think those are choices I find hard to justify.

I try not to eat animals with fairly well developed emotions.

Basically, as far as animal life goes, I eat fish, chicken, and various members of the Mollusca and Crustacea families.

CRABS HAVE FEELINGS TOO!



im not huge into fish that often, but i do love shell fish. perk of living in florida, awesome shell fish most of the year

The crab boats pretty much just had their last run on stone crab here until winter. I can eat them by the bucket. Plus they only harvest one claw and the harvested claw will re-grow. Talk about a renewable resource.

i admit i love eating oysters by the bucket. i have to have them steams a little "well done" though, otherwise raw they just remind me of snot...

we have a couple of raw bars right around me that have the BEST steamed oysters by the bucket. mmmmmmmmmmm.....

The texture of raw oysters is pretty gross but once you get passed that, they're quite tasty.

Steaming an oyster is on par with treason, blasphemy and spitting on your mother's grave. These jewels of the sea were MEANT to be eaten raw. But I guess it's better to eat a steamed oyster than no oysters at all.
