I can't stand it when the little ring on top of the sardine can snaps off. That has got nothin' to do with the country about which this is a free thread--or something like that. So, I keep plyers handy just in case. Does anyone else remember when there were about 20 sardines to the can? Now there's four. What's that about?

Does anyone else remember when there were about 20 sardines to the can? Now there's four. What's that about?

Y2K, Bruce, Y2K. There was a huge run on sardine stocks when everyone thought the world was going to stop working on Jan.1, 2000. All the 20-to-a-can sardines got bought up and all that was left was the 4-to-a-can size. Nobody has fished for sardines since 1999 so the 4-to-a-can size is all you can find nowadays.

Nobody really eats the damned things anyway. They only buy them for emergencies like hurricanes. Then, when the all-clear signal is given, the sardines get fed to cats. Cats don't care how many fish are in the can.

When enough 4-to-a-can sardines have been eaten by cats someone will send a boat out to catch some more sardines and the 20-to-a-can size will be available until the next disaster impends.

Well, actually, sardines aren't really fish. They look like fish, but they were genetically engineered from peas and slimy salamanders as a WPA project back in the 1930s. The proto-sardines are put into the cans as larvae, the equivalent to human teenagers. They would do what teenagers do, and while the can was in shipment to the store it would be filled with the larvae's offspring. But the contraceptive linings have cut way back on the number of offspring per can.

Bet none of you knew this before, did ya?

Sardines as fish...humf. Who'd go fishing for some puny little thing like that, anyway?

How come cats like fish so much? I mean, the little buggers don't like getting wet do they? so how did they develope a taste for something they would never catch in the wild?

Their appetite may not have anything to do with the fishness of them, but rather for the vitamin A, or the natural oils, or the saltiness, for example.

I once had a dog that really liked fish. He didn't care to eat it, but he loved to roll in it. Strangest damn thing, because he knew when he did that he ended up in the bath, and he hated the bath. It was a regular Keystone Cops fiasco when Ginger found a dead fish. Jaysus, talk about bad news on a warm day. And, that dog would try to 'get affectionate' with anything that had fur--and a few things that didn't. Musta thought the fish oils made his coat look attractive to other furry creatures. Heck, maybe it was his way of getting cats to come closer. Beats me.

From: el ted

Brucie,
       My beloved's dog is a lurcher, and whenever we take on the moors it will roll in the first dead animal it finds. It's a hunting reflex, they do it to mask their smell to other animals. Once the bugger has rolled in a dead sheep it then goes on to happily splatter rabbits all over the place!

So, I'd have better luck hunting if I rolled in something that was long dead? I'm going to suggest this to all the hunters I know: collection roadkill and roll in it before going afield for the purpose of taking game.

Wow. I'll be famous.
