Call Me Ishmael-San
"Hundreds of people.” (In a city of millions, known for socialista silliness for over a century now!) Massive support for Greenpeace, to be sure. Ms. Werner’s glasses must be tinted somewhat rosier than the usual Greenpeace red, and Benke sounds like he is merely truckling for the benefit of the cameras.
The Japanese reaction is not noted, I see. If any of these Greenpeace pennywhistles are still playing Don Quixote in Antarctic waters, perhaps we’ll see the answer there.
Davy Jones can probably use a little entertainment, too. It must get boring as hell down there sometimes.
Anyone remember the radio skit “SMELLY DAVE” by comedians Bob and Ray? A dead whale was touring the country on a flatbed semi covered with a tarp. You’d hear crowd noise in the background, then the excited announcer would say, ”They’re uncovering him now!” Then the crowd, “UUUUNNNGGGHHH!”

Never heard that one, Oink, but I do remember the bit about the whale falling from the sky in the “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.”
Maybe “all the bits of dead whale meat” decomposed into Greenpeace activists. Wouldn’t be inappropriate.
Whale of a tale. Sorry. It was a hanging curveball.
The Japanese weren’t commenting as they were preparing for a big dinner.
There was a funny video on the web a while ago showing the attempted removal of a dead whale from a beach using explosives. Dead whale rained down from the sky for quite a distance. No, the phrase “hold my beer, watch this” was not heard. Although it is not beyond the real of possibility.
Meanwhile the Japanese may yet harpoon a greenpeace activist or two.
Sorry about that bad link above, I should have checked it in preview. Try this instead.
Schlepping a 20 ton whale across Europe could not have been cheap. I wonder how many animals in shelters could have been cared for with the money wasted by these sophomoric loons.
I have a great idea - the gp idiots can give me the money they wasted transporting that whale from the sea to the capitol and I will get both my kids here, started in college. You change people by education not by high-financed antics. The majority of these wacko groups don’t realize that the money can be put to much better use even if it is to simply educate people to their side - their stunts do little to change hearts and minds. If the press didn’t go along with the enviro antics right now - they’d get no press until a human got hurt. I bet at least 50% of those ‘hundreds’ of people who came to view were bussed in by the local enviro wackos group.
Jeffwyke and Wardmama are dead on target.
I hope that whoever footed the bill is happy with the self-serving antics that they financed.
I won’t hope that someday they’ll learn. For they won’t.
Sounds like Captain Arab and Moby Dickhead to me…
Greenpests, at least they can be good for a derisive chuckle once in a while.
Time for “les grenouilles” to sink their little garbage scow once again.
Just think, the Japanese Embassy turned down all that free sushi
If Les Grenouilles are blustering about nuking terrorist states, maybe they should try an airburst test about 1200 feet directly above the Rainbow Worrier. Just to make sure that the nukes actually function properly.
Why is there a picture of a sperm whale on a beach?
Because the story is about a screwed up bunch of sons of beaches. Therefore, screwed-up=sperm and sons of beaches=beached whale.
Try to keep up here, Dac.
(actually that was the only beached whale pic I could find in a hurry)
