Bread/Milk Alert. Storm of the century tonight!

[uagrad2007]

Go throw a handful of feed into a catfish pond and watch what happens. 

They are packed in there so tightly that they have no choice but to be swimming in/breathing in/eating each other's shit.  It's just like any other factory farmed meat.  The animals are kept in conditions that are not conducive to their health.  The water requires nearly constant monitoring to make sure it has enough oxygen content to keep the fish alive because it's so densely packed with little water turnover.

That being said, the idea of catfish feeding off detritus, eating shit, whatever is overblown.  SS, Tex and others don't like catfish because they eat shit, but I imagine they're fine with vegetables fertilized with chicken shit, cows that regurgitate and re-eat their own food, etc.  If you get too deep into the life cycle of your food you won't end up finding anything that doesn't gross you out in some way. 

Makes sense...I hadn't thought about that.

Gar and/or Buffalo. no thanks. You got to be poor as Job's turkey to eat that crap.

Buffalo done right at Lassis is pretty good. You got to know the secret hand shake and give a head bump or two or you'll get some cross shit they wouldn't feed a dog.

No doubt.  If you are just some white boy showing up to try Buffalo, they are going to feed you some shit they scraped off the floor.

Here we go again.  Texarkana is in the cross hairs.

The expedition Ozark race is going on right now. Those poor bastards were around Ponca last night hunkered down in the woods.

Major damage in glennallen Missouri...wherever the fuck that is

The expedition Ozark race is going on right now. Those poor bastards were around Ponca last night hunkered down in the woods.

There was a tornado warning for the area between Ponca and Jasper, more or less centered up on where my daughter lives.  I called her at 5:30 this morning and she was already hunkered down.

Not that I know of.  Maybe some smallmouth bass and sunfish though.

Same I called my parents up in Compton about 530 and they were heading to their in ground shelter.

I didn't my hate catfish because they are bottom feeders.  I just don't like catfish.  I've had them from cold deep rivers like the Tennessee and while better than a oxygen deprived piss and shit fed farm raised turdcat, I don't like it.  I also don't like bass, crappie, bream, walleye, gar, pike, paddlefish, muskie, lamprey, buffalo, carp, GTIN bell, drum, or shad.  And I know below will be posts that crappie or other dreck is the "finest eating" ever.  Don't care. You eat it. 

I have no issues with bottom feeders.  Crab, lobsters, crawfish are all fine.  As long as they come from an ocean not a farm.  Fucking Vietnamese tiger shrimp are basically sewer bugs.  No issue with water filters oysters, scallops, or mussels but not clams, geoduck, or cockles.  No snails.  I only eat gulf shrimp, won't eat gulf oysters.

We found out my Dad had cancer in February of '93. He grew up in Mena/Pine Ridge. We drove him there for one last trip home. We all congregated at my Aunt's house. My cousin had been fishing somewhere (he wouldn't tell us...Quachita River maybe?) They brought some catfish home and fried that shit up and it was the best catfish I've ever tasted.

Oh...and it rained later that day. So there's the weather angle.

[animal]

I like fish, but hate fishing. I was that one kid that could never catch fucking shit and it pissed me off so I just gave up. I have resigned myself to chicken of the sea or Captain D's.

Tornado related...basically what I'm hearing is insurance companies are rubber stamping a lot of shit. A couple weeks ago I go out on a call where the lady had like 3 stories about her freon line being cut. First it was wind damage, then it was maybe her grandson clipping bushes, then another. There's clipped bushes all over the non-maintained back yard. Freon line had been cut and open for months. All the R22 had leaked out and she couldn't make that leap that that stuff is like gold. She kept telling me "they said you can just clamp that back together and it will be fine. They said they could fix it cheap but won't return my calls. I'm like that's not how this works lady and that's why "they" aren't coming back. Well long story short amazingly her insurance company is going to pay for a new system now. She's about a 1/2 mile away from where twister storm track but who knows. I don't figure she'll be able to afford her deductible if I had to guess.

Another call yesterday was a "tornado victim" allegedly so we did a courtesy call. I go over and no obvious storm damage and found some garden variety parts had failed. I wrote it up as "possibly failed due to electrical grid conditions at time of storm such as high voltage surge". At least this one was a couple hundred yards away from the damage. Rubber stamp...Approved.

Drove thru a couple streets where we do a lot of work and several of our customers lost their homes...very sad. A lot of these people are getting very little assistance, Fema won't answer their phone. The city leadership is apparently a joke. A few churches are doing more than anyone else. It sounds like a clusterfuck. One guy said the storm wasn't over 20 mins and there were already looters.
