Rare Tuna would be? 

 

1. Tuna caught in the Hibbing Area

2. Tuna that tastes like Beef

3. Tuna that can sing and dance show tunes

This reminds me of The Aquarium from Bruce Adolphe's Carnival of the Animals poems:

 

"Tuna fish swim in the deep blue ocean
They never swim in a lake.
But tuna fish haven't the slightest notion
That people like to eat tuna steak.

 

If any fish knows what music's about
(Which is something that I sincerely doubt)
It's probably only the rainbow trout
...

 

But no fish I know from shrimp to whales
Ever had to practice scales.
And that's because they're born with those;
But they never quite learn their arpeggios."

That's a good poem... I gotta write me one of those

Try it. I'd love to see the result. I've tried, but I get stumped at anything beyond plays off of Casey at the Bat.

Slow thread tonight ... I expected more here for Hicks' season debut.

 

It'll get better when we move on to better topics.

Jelly Doughnut. This gives me an idea for my game thread on Thursday.

The outlook will be brilliant for the Game Thread crew that day.

What do you do? Simon is the kind of guy that frustrates the Twins and all of us most of time. Hope is not lost yet, maybe Hicks has an ace up his sleave?

I think Bark missed my Salami Earring wearing Molitor post?

Yeah, right, now you've raised everybody's expectations, and I'll strike out like a true...pro.

You can tuna piano but you can't tuna fish

But the Tuna it swims and the Lounges do Bark.

Glunn takes his dog on a walk through the Park.

Hm, give it a little more thought and you'll get there. And speaking of ick and ish, Hrbowski was telling me that there was a difference, but he couldn't remember. He didn't know if he believed it, and unfortunately I missed it. However, from what I heard, I have a feeling that I'd agree. So could you kindly explain? I want to know, you know.

There is a difference and I don't know it. Chitown and JB seem to know and all they do is give me clues in context and I haven't been able to figure it out yet. 

 

But I'll keep saying disgusting stuff until the truth reveals itself.

Brian, I'm afraid, does not grasp the subtle difference between the two, but there is a difference. It's difficult to explain but rather something you just know instinctively and not everyone has that ish/ick instinct.

Or you get banned for inappropriate language.

Go at it. If they give me just one or two clues, I feel sure I can catch on. Being a woman, I'm pretty quick that way. Or, if they refrain, you can give me the link to the thread that this was going on in. Or maybe I can guess.
