okay, i just got some really disturbing news. Like i mentioned, i'm not a BIG fish person. And I usually never try new fish especially at restaurants, cuz I don't want to waste my money. A few years ago, I tried Mahi Mahi in Aruba, and I really liked it. So on saturday, at the beach I decided to try it again...and it was super good again. I was really excited, thinking i found a fish I really like.

So we get home and we're talking to my father-in-law (he's a district manager of red lobster) and he informs me that mahi mahi is DOLPHIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm SO upset! I definatly would not have gotten it if the description said DOLPHIN sandwhich! ugh! ugh! I can't believe I ate dolphin!!!! So sad!

yeah i was gonna say... no chain restaurant in this country would serve dolphin. it's probably illegal

tesoro tesoroOG 2001

no, i didn't eat it at red lobster, it was a random restaurant. i was just pointing out the fact that my father-in-law knows seafood, being the district manager of a seafood restaurant. (btw, he did know it wasn't the mammmal, he was just being a jerk trying to freak me & my sis-in-law out)

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder

haha.. that's really funny.

yeah i would be uncomfortable eating a dolphin. cuz they're smart. it'd be like eating a dog...

tesoro tesoroOG 2001

yea i know. but you know...Pigs are really very smart animals as well. Let's stop eating bacon.

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder

yeah but they're gross so...

tesoro tesoroOG 2001

aw, i think they're kinda cute. Same with cows. Chickens/Turkey/Fish thats really the only meats i don't feel bad eating cuz they're not cute.

Speaking of cows...i was driving through amish country over the weekend (it's still so weird to see them with their old time clothes driving in buggys)

But I saw this cow in a field...peeing...and it was the crazyest site...

Have you ever seen a cow pee? it is seriously like a WATERFALL! hahaha it's so funny!

this exact conversation was in a movie, lol

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

Vincent: Want some bacon?
Jules: No man, I don't eat pork.
Vincent: Are you Jewish?
Jules: Nah, I ain't Jewish, I just don't dig on swine, that's all.
Vincent: Why not?
Jules: Pigs are filthy animals. I don't eat filthy animals.
Vincent: Bacon tastes gooood. Pork chops taste gooood.
Jules: Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy thing. Pigs sleep and root in crap. That's a filthy animal. I ain't eat nothin' that ain't got sense enough to disregard its own feces.
Vincent: How about a dog? Dogs eats its own feces.
Jules: I don't eat dog either.
Vincent: Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal?
Jules: I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.
Vincent: Ah, so by that rationale, if a pig had a better personality, he would cease to be a filthy animal. Is that true?
Jules: Well we'd have to be talkin' about one charmin' pig. I mean he'd have to be ten times more charmin' than that Arnold on Green Acres, you know what I'm sayin'?
