OT: Sometimes stuff hits me funny. Chapter?

That's funny! I wonder what they did with the spilled raisins?

They sent them to local prisons so they could make pruno.

Hey, it sure beats banana brandy.

Confused the rabbits?

Going to that really cheap wine distillery.

When I lived in Texas a truck with a huge tank full of live catfish turned over on the interstate nearby. You should have seen those ol' boys. They were picking up those catfish and throwing them in the back of their pickups or in the trunk of their cars. Better than watching mud wrestling.

The adult version of picking the fly s*it out of the pepper.

There is a large catfish processing plant some 35 miles south of here they store ground fish guts, bones, skins and heads in tanker trucks. When the trucks are full they are delivered to feed mills in Tuscaloosa, where it is processed into fish feed and fertilizer.

I arrived on the scene of an overturned gut truck on hwy 69 not long after the wreck, I was already too far along to back out before I realized what I was driving in. The smell was incomprehensible, the kind of smell that gets lodged in your clothes, that you can taste, feel and see, the car was tainted for weeks, I would have happily pissed of a colony of polecats to have been able to avoid it.

When the stench hit me I instantly began retching and tromped the gas to the floor, I ran the first red light going at least 90mph and it is anyone guess how fast I was going through the rest until I was free of the odiferous hell on Earth.All the while my wife is screaming that I'm going to kill us, and all I can think is that it would be over.

So happens I am on my way to my brothers wedding, upon arriving at the churh a guy ask me if I have a dead body in the trunk, upon entering the churh and taking my place as best man, my brother looks around at me and said "Damn man, you could have bathed." Sigh, another irreplacible memory.

Em boys were probably noodle-rs. LOL

Yep ... all those transplant from the east and west coasts had probably never seen a real live catfish before. :)

I dunno, blue catfish record in Maryland is over 60 lbs IIRC.

That's what they call a minnow in this part of the world. :)

Catfish over a hundred pounds are not unheard of, and I saw 300 pound catfish on a daily basis in Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela (we stunned/killed them with explosives during seismic exploration in the lake ... the government had a boat that followed us and picked them up, ostensibly to "feed the orphans".

Where my wife comes from (Nova Scotia) they call that bait.

Gathered them with "Raisin nets", maybe?

Seriously, probably went to animal feed.

As long as they didn't feed them to dogs...renal failure due to grapes/ raisin intake is a real and serious problem.... in dogs.
