    You obviously enjoy fish more than any polar bear.
    I doubt they feed Polar Bears in the Zoo chunks of Salami.

    I don't eat whale. lol............kidding.

    I'd rather have some LJS. They have some cod, though you have to pay a little more. I like that. We have a DQ Brazier here and they have some good meal deals. I haven't had one of those in many months.

    Hardees is really good, but I have to travel 15 miles or so to have any. I guess that would be nice on a Saturday...meh...going alone isn't so much fun. So.......probably stay home.

    Came out just before the Halloween holiday in 1978. My girlfriend, her brothers, and I watched with lights out. Her dad went into the basement and banged on the floor with a hammer when everything got quiet in the movie. We all screamed, except me, of course. I think I just pooped my pants...............not really. I just jumped like crazy. I think we watched on HBO, but I'm not sure. Maybe we watched the following year? Whenever it came out, anyway.

    I am sure Burger King already owns that great slogan for their nuggets.
    Why waste stuff? A thick batter can hide anything.

    Fish tacos are my homemade feature.

    Any frozen tilapia defrosted under hot water and quickly pan fried in butter on a toasted flour tortilla goes really good with Picante sauce and guacamole.

    But when I am too tired or lazy to make them myself I go to McDonalds for their Whaler fish sandwiches. It's faster and easier.

    I was real tempted to buy that movie - *Misery - { 1990 } at Wal*mart.
    I got instead - Silence of the Lambs - and - The Exorcist -.
    Both were like $ 5.00
    I need to get - Hannibal - { 2001 } which I have an old VHS copy of.
    Hannibal is The best horror movie of the last 30 + years.
    It has it all.Great storyline,remarkable setting and intriguing dialogue.
    Plus the remarkably unbelievable ending { some say disturbing }

    * I never knew this until today.The Director was Rob Reiner.
    Who'd a thunk.

    I don't understand this inclination.Having worked in Fast Food for
    years { was a McD Mngr. } it's far more cost effective to just buy yer own
    food items and cook meals or make sandwiches yerself.
    It cost money to start the vehicle and take a trip for fast food.
    Plus yer at the mercy of both the weather and having mere kids
    often touch and fix yer fast food.

    I make my own with ground beef, once in a while. Don't like fishy tacos, unless........I'll let that go.

    Tortillas are really really bad for you. They have a ton of calories because they are so packed with grease and flour, to make them able to withstand putting wet and warm things on them without falling apart. I've gotten away from eating the soft ones, but even the hard ones make a nice lantern if lighted and placed safely in a large container. You might be amazed how they burn.

    It's like potato chips when set alight. Try it, but safely or you will hurt yourself or burn your house down. Only under supervision and with prior knowledge if you are a child reading this. Don't be stupid and try it and burn your carpet and drapes and your family.

    I don't mind a bit of picante, but guacamole is a ground turd with some bits of corn or something in it. It's gross. Avocado and other things we eat are junk things that only the very poor eat in their home country.

    Did you know lobster was given to the poor? I can't remember all the details, but it was considered crap, so they gave it away to poor folks, or sold it to them. Now, it's some sort of near delicacy, when it's really the same family as spiders and barnacles. Arthropods are insects, whether on land or in the sea.

    Brrrrrrrrrup.............Eeww..........that's a nope for this guy.

    Manager? you have my condolences.

    Well, bud, that's what I do. I can't afford to go to these places any more. I could when things were better. It's nice to go out once in a while, or are you against that, too?

    Edit: Not that I do. I haven't gone out for a beer since 2012 or '13. I can't even remember exactly, because it's been so long. ee.

    Ecoli wasn't from fast food, but from those migrant farm workers taking a dump in the field and wiping with fingers before going right back to work. Yeah, those kids can do many things, but it was your job to make sure they didn't. Guess you aren't a manager any more?

    Edit: If you are a manager somewhere else, I'm not sure you are worthy of the position, though many managers tend to be simply great liars and blame shifters. I'm not calling you that, but some I've known in prior days.

    I know because I talked with their managers while not telling them what I knew or turning in my own. Very few were worth anything close to their salary level and relied on the best of the work force to do most of the managing. ee.

    Today's smartmouth is one who also talked a little funny.But once
    one gets over that,she was very lucid,even quite prudent,which is
    a virtue { Prudence }.Or to manage well.
    She did a fantastic job of both managing her career as a star
    actress and also managing most the males in her sphere.
    She had that distinct Queens accent and also career toughness.
    She could make a gentleman feel like pudding or like a Prince.
    She had that ability.She died young in her early 40's.
    Name this schalmtzy blond who was quite jewish,but effectuated
    a Shiksa

    There is nothing inherently wrong with arthropods or with eating them.

    You can tell they are related because they all look alike whether sea or land dwelling.

    I love lobster and shrimp and crayfish. This is some of the purest protein that you can eat.

    You can eat bugs too (land dwelling arthropods) although they taste better if you cook them first -- sort of like French Fries then.

    We humans are mammals and mammals get their proteins from meat and vegies. Arthropods are good meat. And eating them is guilt free.

    I used to regularly buy and cook shrimp.Large,especially Extra large.
    Then even top flight Grocery stores ran short on good-sized fresh
    shrimp.I gave up about 12-15 years ago.I started buying the best
    Frozen shrimp { from the Gulf } but even they aren't as good as years
    past.I think there's something wrong with our sources.The Ocean water.
    Don't forget what the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear disaster reaped.
    It was one of the biggest cover-up in man-made diasters.
    Those Nuclear wastes went into the Ocean and circled the globe.
    Hitting Alaska and then California.They had to have an impact on
    Seafood.

    Gulf shrimp are the best. We would go down to the coast and buy the shrimp off of the shrimp boat, you can't get much fresher than that. The only thing close to fresh shrimp in taste is fresh fish.

    Gmornin, Daise. I ate my fill of shrimp in Galveston. Nothing better than an icy shrimp cocktail followed by blackened redfish, fresh from the gulf.

    As ,with Lobster and even the best fish { Orange roughy and Cod }

    markets or wharfs.Same thing with Prime meat.

    Her popularity was limited to just the early to mid 1950's.
    Nearly completely forgotten by the 1970's.If not for the occasional
    mention by her most avid fan and fellow actor Jack Lemmon,
    this Smarthmouth actress would seem like a Model T was in the
    40's.

    What PC nonsense!

    Radiation, like mercury, makes seafood taste much better. Surely you know that.

    Yes, there are some health risks - might shorten your life a smidge, but the good stuff always costs more. :)

    This is what I had for breakfast today except I made it on my stovetop at home.

    I use packaged Starbucks ground coffee.

    Tastes great and only pennies a cup.

    I believe the McD fish sandwich still uses North Atlantic cod.
    But it's only as good as the fryer.If the shortening { now vegetable instead
    Interstate # 44 Beef fat blend } is broken down { needs to be replaced not just
    daily filtering in morning before lunch } then the Fish is not at it's best.
    You want a crispy fish not even slightly soggy.
