I thought we were having Tea at Thursdays this week?
Got the silver all polished and everything!

Well, y'all who've gone fishing bring back some fishies for finger sandwiches! Too cold and rainy up here today for fishin' - the fish'd even be hiding. And you don't wanna eat Charles River fish anyway, I care about your health more than that.

Donw by the river, down by the banks of the river charles....

Well I love that dirty water.......Ahhh, boston you're ma home...



We could all go fishing, the Challenger holds 40, but it might be a tad rough out there today.

Leaving for OK in the AM, Y'all be safe now, Ya heah?

What is this? THE DAY THE FISH CAME TO TEA?

[lbaker]

"THE DAY THE FISH CAME TO TEA" Sounds like something Dr Seuss would write after a few DOTD's Fishy finger sandwiches, tea and DOTDs in polished silver and crytal. Are we special or what

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

I'm up for a little fishing.....as long as somebody else puts the worm on the hook....or better yet, can I use rubber worms? I just can't stand the feel/sound of when the hook goes through the poor wormy. <shudders> Then if I catch something, can somebody else take it off the hook for me? I never could stand the feel of a slimy fish. <shudders again> My dad is a big fisherman and for some reason, whenever I went with him as a kid, we never caught anything! He was a good fisherman and always caught something....except when I was along......

Here are some "fishy" drinks to choose from.

I came over to have a nice cup of tea after reading last week's thread, but if Johanna needs a drink, I will join her. It's too horrible a day for fishing, let's just stay in. Fish Lips all round is it?

[lbaker]

I've never drinken/dranken/drunken fish lips before. I've battered and fried a few though, yummy - especially with Ranch Dressing

I am a fishy. I promise I am!!
I look better on silver than green eggs and ham!!!

[lbaker]

OMD I can't stand up I'm laughing so hard MOFF! See Johanna, I told you Thursday's could make you smile

[slick]

Well, it sounds like you guys are having a whale of time just for the halibut. Cod I please have one of those DOTD ?? I heard that fish cheeks were in season now and all the rage in Japan. Apparently a delicacy. ""shudders"

Anyway, let me just skate on up to the bar and sing:

Salmon chanted evening....

**ducks head**
Hey Mario, it's not nice to throw things are the entertainment.

Debbie, I'm with you. Baiting the hook makes me "eely" and I don't do fish guts. And I don't eat anything that is staring back at me so please make sure it is beheaded.

LOL Actually Max has fish lips after he eats his Whitefish & Tuna dinner....

I am a fishy. I promise I am!!

I **guess** that is better than telling us you look better IN silver than you do IN green eggs and ham...as that would mean you actually have SEEN yourself in green eggs and ham....


Yeah, Laurie, I am laughing now....
