Salmon is one of the very few foods I can't swallow. I mean that literally as in as soon as it's in my mouth my gag reflex kicks in.
So unless they modified it to taste like bacon I'll pass.

Thanks

No, this is a special salmon, that is programmed to turn into an evil squid within hours of consuming!

As for the rest, let's just say don't eat a meal with a small group of people!

Not unless you glad wrap everything and have a gun on standby?

Lanfear influenced no doubt, and not bad. Lol I was trying to think of a response to Thom's post. I was thinking they could cross the salmon with a sperm whale or a Dick fill-in-last-name to make it swallow able.

  Smoked salmon is so fun for April Fool Ugh Ugh Lookit me — I got radioactive poisonin' kinda tricks.
  
  Ranks way higher than fake blood an' is easier to source than Fargo-style body parts.
  
  Plus, when you peel it offa yr arm you can lidderully lick your own wounds.
  
  I tried it on my face one time but it wouldn't stay on without a beret pulled way down, an' I did not look convincin'.

Gotta wonder what happens to alla those ringos.

Prolly they get binned, or guys keep 'em to mount on the wall, but I figure they got potential to become a high end luxury.

Plenty of tennis players could use novelty hair bands, even Rafael Nadal.

An' u gotta keep peas still on yr plate somehow when ur slicin' thru steak.

Over the years, they were all thrown in the same dumpster. One day lightening struck the dumpster, and they came to life as one huge, flesh colored, evil monster.

We named it Kurt. It also explains why he acts like a big d!ck.

It was the basis of a Doctor Seuss book for kids. The Snizzling Snurt Named Kurt.

To the untrained eye, there is so much cruel inhumanity here.

But I know a buddy movie scenario when I see one.

The two guys who live up on the hill, the guys no one quite understands.

They been pals for life, like faithful beagles, an' when one weeps, the other beams back a reassurin'' smile.

They break open one another's boiled eggs, share socks an' slippers for a treat every Sunday, an' when night falls, the goodnight rituals of their endearin' rapport keep them up till 3 - but they do not care.

I am fillin' up here, it is so touchin'.

So who exactly has created this Frankenfish? Monsanto? NASA?

Come to think of it, has anyone seen Monsanto and NASA in the same room at the same time?

Now there's something to think about.

Since I can't eat fish, this isn't a worry to me - other than what might happen if it gets out into the wild. There's no way to know how it will or won't fit into nature without causing problems.

The FDA said the salmon will be allowed to be raised only in land-based, contained hatchery tanks at two facilities in Canada and Panama, and that other facilities in the US or elsewhere cannot breed or raise the salmon for human consumption. Those restrictions limit the amount of food the company can produce.

The agency said there are multiple and redundant levels of physical barriers; in the facilities to prevent the escape of fish. The fish would be bred to be female and sterile, so if any did escape, they should not be able to breed.

Whole Foods, Krogers and Trader Joe's won't carry it. Personally, I won't buy a fish that doesn't say "wild caught" on the package.

Hey Taggo, that first one is soap.

If I'm gonna foam at the mouth, gotta be 'cos I'm crazy, not stoopid.

(Though I am stoopid, it is true.)

Great thing about the Lays is you got no sense of scale from the illo.

Could be anythin' in there, like mebbe a buncha freeze-dried superstuds.

So when the truck pulls up outside the little ol' lady's house round the corner and dumps a huge container on her driveway, u gotta figure your faucets gonna run feeble for a few days.

Soap, nah, "Your'e tastier, than you think you are" is a bit of a giveway for that one!

No, Soylent green chips is my guess?

Stupid, nonsense there are far dumber members here!

Arrmm, might need an interpreter for that one?

But, look at these kittens, they have a Soylent green diet and it hasn't affected them?
