Some day I will try to find out why there is no cheese in (westernized?) Chinese cuisine.

I've heard that some people like to fish just for the halibut.

Isnt that where they make the movies? Halibut California?

People like this are wrong in the head. They need to see a brain sturgeon.

Like the people who made this meme?

Amanita muscaria
Although classified as poisonous, reports of human deaths resulting from its ingestion are extremely rare.It's flying both around Twitter and Facebook.

Coincidentally, I just joined a "shroom" FB page 2 days ago.
The most deadly mushroom in the world, according to the old timers, are Morels.

Newbie; "I just found these{insert photo of Morels}. Are they toxic?"
Oldster; "I'm surprised you didn't die, just by picking them. Please tell me where you found them, and I will save humanity, by removing them all".​

That's an extreme theme for a meme. You're definitely part of the team! What's your inseam?

 

[zoobyshoe]

You're definitely part of the team!

You mean: I'm a group-er.

 

[Evo]

LOL.

 

[zoobyshoe]

LOL.

Sorry to carp about this but "LOL" is not a fish pun. Don't be koi, try your hand at it.

hmmm...

I've been cleaning up my house for the last two months. Lots of old paperwork. Some of it goes back to the 70's.
Mostly, I've been shredding it, and heating my house with it.
But my shredder is going on the blink, so I just tear it up now.
And some of the paperwork looks like I may want to keep it, so the question becomes: Do I tear or file 'um?

How was that?

Do you think anyone will understand my joke?
Probably not.

I was thinking of modifying my superconductivity "Chicken Cooper Pairs" joke into "Chicken of the Sea Cooper Pairs", but it didn't seem to flow right.
And every time I look at my original joke, I laugh so hard, I have to Guppy.

I just bought a new shredder and was complaining about how much they cost and someone said, why not just burn the papers? Uhm, , because I'm stupid. But with the shredder, I have an unlimited supply of confetti.

I can't believe what I'm herring. You don't like finny puns?

You're killing me.

There is a basst difference between jokes and puns. Marlin Brando knows it.

I thought pretentious religious debates were frowned upon here?
Why are you allowing all this icky theological nonsense!

Walleye suppose there is. I manta point that out earlier, but my effort floundered.

 

[Borek]

and someone said, why not just burn the papers?

Because the best approach is to shred and the burn - especially when you have a thick file it won't burn easily and you have to spend a lot of time moving the paper and poking it, otherwise what is in the middle will get charred, but never turns into ashes. Shredded paper on the other hand burns easily and - as it is already mixed with the air - will burn to the end on itself.

Although the best approach is to throw shredded papers on the embers. Trust the old pyromaniac.

Thank you, I feel better now. Plus it's fun to watch the paper get shredded.

It is dangerously close to fishlosophy and, if I were a sticklebacker for the rules, I'd point out that there is no plaice for that sort of thing here. Even if we are trying to turn this into Fishics Forums.

Ripoff alert: I got charged a $2.50 ATM fee just for checking my account balance. I am thinking of starting a blog just to put it out there and (hopefully) embarrass the thieves who instituted that fee.

This is wrong and heinous. Was it one of those independent ATM's, or was it affiliated with a specific bank?

 

[zoobyshoe]

I was thinking about the themes to blockbuster movies tonight and it occurred to me that The Terminator managed to be a blockbuster movie series without a recognizable theme. I youtubed "The Terminator music" and was surprised to find I didn't even recognize it as anything I'd ever heard before, despite the fact I've seen the 1st three 4 or 5 times each.

My local bank charged me $1 for setting up my profile the first time which I think is clearly ridiculous. They didn't notice their customers that they would charge them for the settings at the time of their registration. Only after they signed and printed out everything did they ask me to pay. I didn't want to pay but thought $1 might not even be enough for me to have a bowl of Vietnamese Pho, so I bit the dirt and accepted it.
