Sign up quick! There are still a few precious natural resources left, but they will soon be gone. If you miss this brief window of opportunity, you will never again be able to take classes in how to destroy them.

  You may only be able to go to a nature preserve and dream about destroying it. Not EVEN the same!

A Mr.Ishmael has recently taken Mr. Kenji Katakuri up on his invitation to "chase big fish", but said he was disappointed because Mr. Kenji Katakuri didn't have the obsessive compulsive desire to hunt down and kill big white fish that he was use to when he sailed on the Pequod.

Does this include the music package from Marley and the Whalers?
Cause you know you have to have the right music man. To put you in the mood to go whaling.

Whale burger! That's for wimps.
Why not go the whole hog, as it were, and make it whale sushi cut into jumbo-sized pieces.
Way to kill 3 birds with one stone..
BTW Does Dlia Smoth know about this? Is she laughing?

  DELIA SMITH!My eyes were still haf-glued shut. Damn computer buzzes whenever Ind's msgs arrive.. The canary starts to sing, the kettle starts boiling and when I try to hide under the sheets the hound drags me off to her food bowl. Another day and with luck another $.. or 2

      It would be more helpful if you could find a way to turn my kettle on and at least I'd be able to have a cup of tea BEFORE starting to fire on all cylinders.. or one or two of them..

Oh my gosh! I harpooned Rosie O'Donnell by mistake!
Well...it wasn't like it was ALL my fault. She was just "spouting" off, and I let her have it.
