Are you still here?

Nope, Nobody here but you Quis,,,


Truth and Justice shall Prevail!
(Just lock up on your way out...)

Ain\'t nobody here but us lobsters ...

I was expecting a B-52s ref, not muppet show.

Okay everyone, this thread is closed for spring cleaning...

Which is (phew) long overdue.

It will re-open in just over a week...


<span style="font-size: 40px;">CLOSED FOR CLEANING!</span>

I live to confound everyone's expectations.




Also, could somebody please get Capt. Quank a nice cup of Sleepytime tea, or something... ?

Abin's, too, apparently.

Cleaning Fish

1. Most freshwater fish will die after being out of the water for about ten minutes.

2. Larger fish and saltwater fish may need to be killed before you clean them—but that involves something called an "icky stick" and brain puncture—so we'll leave that for another time.

3. Small pan fish can be held in one hand during cleaning, large fish should be held on their back on the table.

4. Insert the knife tip into the fish's belly near the anal opening and move the blade up along the belly, cutting to the head.

5. Keep the knife blade shallow so you don't puncture the intestines.

6. Spread the body open and remove all of the entrails, locate the fish's anus and cut this out in a "V" or notch shape.

7. Some fish have a kidney by the backbone. Remove it by scraping it out with a spoon or your thumbnail.

8. Rinse the cavity out with a good stream of water and wash the skin. Some fish have a dark tissue lining the abdominal cavity that can be scraped off to prevent the strong, oily flavor it causes.

9. Remove the head if you like, trout are often cooked with the head on.

10.Clean your fish-cleaning table immediately, collect the guts, heads, and scales, and bury them

How to Catch a Leprechaun.

Catching a leprechaun is not an easy business, however it is the only way to discover the location of one's gold, as they do not even disclose this to thier closest friends (or at least not human ones). Leprechauns are very suspicious and resentful of greedy people, and if one realizes that your intentions are based in greed he will try even harder to prevent you from learning the location of the secret stash. (Keep in mind that leprechauns are masters of human nature... by one look into your eyes a leprechaun will know your true motives.)

Leprechauns do have one weakness though... they are terrified of capture. Therefore, if you can manage to actually catch one, it may be possible to force him to tell you where his gold is.

The best way to capture a leprechaun is to sneak up on him when he is working on his shoes. Leprechauns take great pleasure in their work and become quite involved in it. You can tell that he is particularly absorbed when he is whistling. Sneak up very quietly behind him and them grab him quickly. Once you have him, hold on tight and don't take your eyes off of him! He may look calm, but really he is madly thinking of ways to escape. Leprechauns are incredibly clever, and can use your own secret desires against you. He will only tell you where his gold is hidden if he thinks it is the only way he can escape!

Some leprechauns have the ability to simply vanish right from your grasp, making them almost impossible to catch. However, it is said that if you wear a four-leaf clover, it will prevent the leprechaun from being able to do this.

Okay...

But do you clean a leprechaun the same way you clean a fish?

I think the answer to that is obvious.

Ohmygod! Well it's not like oblivious to me...


Hmmm... Or is it?

Do leprechauns still deal in pots of gold, or are they into mutual funds and the like these days?

I believe all the leprechauns invested their gold with Bernie Madoff and Sir R. Allen Stanford.

I believe Quis has the gift of blarney.

Ouch. For a minute there, I thought you said "gift of Barney."

Oh, the horror. The cheery, purple HORROR...

Now THERE is a character just calling out for Dan Didio's attentions.

Actually, what should happen is they should bring back Praetor Lemnos, but this time he'd be a heroic figure who helped everyone live in better galactic peace and harmony by causing them to completely forget the existence of... things like (yuck) Barney.

(Hang on. I feel a new thread forming...)

Lemnos--the spelling--always reminded me of "Legionnaire Lemon."

On Bismoll, replace all foodstuff with assorted flavors of rocks.

Could we arrange to send Barney to Bismoll?

Even Bismollians draw the line at purple meringue. Bismoll isn't Southern California, y'know...

:rolleyes:

Finish the sentence: I Love Barney the dinosaur because...

he is not Dick Cheney.
