"Chinook is the King of the salmon
Coho's the bright Silver one
Sockeye is Red, Humpy's Pink so it's said
And the Dog salmon's always a Chum"

Now where have I heard that before?

The Tiny Salmon Song

Tiny salmon swimming in a stream,
Tiny salmon chasing that impossible dream.
The Myna Bird says ahhh ah ahhh,
The chimpanzee says ayeeee,
The friendly owl says whoooo who whoooo,
But the salmon can only say blooo blooo blo blooo blooo blo blooo,
And it's sad

Atlantic Salmon ain't salmon at all... They say its farm raised "Atlantic Salmon" and you goin', "Sheet fire, last time I drove out into the Atlantic we didn't see nuthin' but water???"

How you gonna have a farm there???

I must bow to your superiority John and must therefore offer my apologies.

Atlantic Salmon is best but only if caught in Scotland. :-)

Subject: RE: Kendall went off half cocked
From: John MacKenzie
Date: 03 Nov 10 - 06:55 PM

Sorry Arthur, but if it was caught in Scotland it was undoubtedly Atlantic Salmon, aka Salmo Salar. It's the only kind you get there/here. However I agree, that freshly caught wild salmon is unbeatable.

I had the most beautiful salmon in Scotland.
We were in a lovely holiday home at Lochness.

The family run pub which was a house converted downstairs were great. I visited them and asked if they could do a fresh salmon for my parents and my wife. He went off and fished a fresh salmon and served it that evening. We have never had better.

You can kiss your arse to Altlantic Salmon - it doesn't compare.

"I've had Atlantic Salmon"

Would that be cultured (grown in a farm) or fresh from the river or sea? Most Atlantic salmon that is sold today is farmed. There is a big difference.When a salmon is fresh from the sea, IMO, it is best. After awhile in fresh water, the taste is different...like with sea trout. Unfortunately, few folks get to taste wild Atlantic salmon today.

I've had Atlantic Salmon, and I've had fresh Salmon in Alaska, and if I had $$$$$, the right kind of Pacific Salmon would be on my plate.

Hmmm.... NOT as tastey.

I agree Kendall. Atlantic salmon is my choice and I have tasted them all. In any case, fresh salmon of any kind is a tastey choice... "brain food", good for yer cholesterol and, believe it or not... a good feed of salmon will help you sleep better. No shit, me Mum swears by it and she has 84 years of experience to say so.

I just sucked back a fillet of Brilliant, simply fried in marg... deeeelicious. It is, indeed, The King of Fish. We get west coast salmon in the shops here too, but it doesn't sell anywhere near the price of Atlantic salmon. It's tastey, but it's AS tastey.

Given the choice, should you be 'polite' and apologize, even if you're right??...Like, Hey!!! Get off the tracks NOW, there's a train comin'?

Or should one do the other a 'disservice' and not 'upsetting them?

"...Steve Allen said that almost anything in the right context becomes sexual."

"When properly viewed, everything's lewd"

"..I can make damn near anything into a sexual reference....LOL.."

Yep, 'spaw...I'll bet you can. Doesn't mean it's a good idea. It defines personality, not humor....*I* can see a lot of opportunities to twist a remark into a ribald joke...and I sometimes do. I just 'try' not to give in to every impulse.
Some of my favorite jokes and one-liners are sexual-based....but perhaps not when the Queen is at dinner.
Just me...as you is just you.

Got some pretty half-baked ideas on this thread......and a few that are completely baked.

Sorry Bill, I can make damn near anything into a sexual reference....LOL........I remember Steve Allen said that almost anything in the right context becomes sexual. One night he called "Big A" cleaners and asked what it would cost to clean his Big A. Another night he asked someone, "How's your Bruce?" and within days Bruce was being used for penis along with Dick, Peter, Johnson, Willie, John Thomas, etc.

When I was a teen, I once unloaded a 22 semi and pulled the trigger with the gun pointed directly into a mound of rotten logs and dirt. Bang. My old man, a small arms expert in the RCAF, was sitting with a cup of tea about 5 feet away. He said, "Here, let me see that." I sheepishly passed it to him and he put it in the trunk of the car and never said a word.... nor did I.

Similar to doing a Half Cocked on a wheel gun is the hammer down on a .45 colt. Many people (including police and former military) don't like the full cocked and locked position so they will rest the hammer by lowering it down on a live cartridge. Yea .. I go nuts when I see this ... drop the firearm and bam it goes off. They just bypassed all the safety mechanisms that worked for 95 years without fail.
