Whale Wars

 

1. It would be no great loss if the Japanese fleet runs down every one of those moonbats and sends them all to Davy Jones.  We are not so short of moonbats that a few hundred (or even a few thousand) more or less would make any difference worth noticing.

   Spurlos versenkt!

2. My sympathies are neither with the enviroweenies nor the Japanese whalers.

   I want to arm the whales with Limpet Mines & sushi-seeking torpedoes. Make the hunt fair & interesting!

3. Now wait just a cotton-pickin minute, Ronnie. Mainstream media wisdom teaches otherwise. Where have you been for the last 20 years?! That’s ok. You can be re-educated. Repeat after me: “Only Americans destroy the environment. Only Americans destroy the environment. Only Americans destroy the environment.”

5. As with the fools attacking people in their cars...run ‘em down!  Any fool who decides that he wants to run his little speedboat in front of a whaler deserves to either sink to the bottom of the sea or start enjoying a little Arctic swim back to land.  Surely, their little whale buddies will help help in return, right?

6. Howzabout a whale haggis?  (illegal in the U.S.)

   ** WHAGGIS RECIPE:

   1 whale lung (illegal in the U.S.)
   1 whale stomach (illegal in the U.S.)
   1 whale heart (illegal in the U.S.)
   1 whale liver (illegal in the U.S.)
   1/2 ton fresh whale blubber (illegal in the U.S.)
   300 cups oatmeal (the ground type, NOT the Quaker Oats type!)
   3000 onions, finely chopped
   10 pounds salt
   10 pounds freshly ground pepper
   10 pounds cayenne
   5 pounds nutmeg
   300 Gallons cup stock
   Wash lungs and stomach well, rub with salt and rinse. Remove membranes and excess fat. Soak in cold salted water for several hours. Turn stomach inside out for stuffing.

   Cover heart and liver with cold water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 30 hours. Chop heart and coarsely grate liver. Toast oatmeal in a skillet on top of the stove, stirring frequently, until golden. Combine all ingredients and mix well. Loosely pack mixture into stomach, about two-thirds full. Remember, oatmeal expands in cooking.

   Press any air out of stomach and truss securely. Put into boiling water to cover. Simmer for 300 hours, uncovered, adding more water as needed to maintain water level. Prick stomach several times with a sharp pickaxe when it begins to swell; this keeps the bag from exploding. Place on a hot platter, removing trussing strings. Serve with a shovel. Ceremoniously served with “neeps, tatties and nips” — smashed turnips, smashed potatoes, nips of whiskey (LOTS of whiskey!).

7. Shinjin: I’m struggling to understand Japanese-Americans, because my daughter will probably marry one. Are you typical?

   Also, what is your avatar?

   I have a soft spot for whales, in spite of “Save the Whales” nuts.  We did almost hunt the big mammals to extinction.

9. MJS: That’s a very good link. Read all the pages, not just the one linked to. 

   The early American whalers were pigs. They hunted anywhere 365 days per year—harpooned nursing mothers, etc. Assholes. Same thing for buffalo & passenger pigeons.  Take what you want with no regard for anyone. We gave hunting a bad name.
