I'd love to see Alton up against my 91 year old grandmother in a fish scaling competition. She'd wax him.

[PopTodd]

I don't like Seinfeld.

Frustrates me to the point of having to turn the channel -- immediately!

 

And Curb Your Enthusiasm is even worse.

[NightOfJoy]

There's no reason to scale a fish. One can actually separate the flesh from the skin by using a sharp knife. I havent scaled a fish after I learned this method.

What if you want to eat the skin, but not the scales?

I can appreciate not liking Seinfeld. I love it. I think it's one of the best TV comedies ever, but some people just don't like the somewhat snotty, arrogant humor of it. If you don't like Seinfeld, I would expect you to hate Curb Your Enthusiasm. What I don't get are people who love Seinfeld who don't like Curb. It's basically the same humor with different characters. George=Larry David.

why would anyone want to eat fish at all?

Don Rickles isn't never was funny.

 

 

Fixed it for ya

We were actually talking about this the other night. I like Curb, but like something like Meet The Parents (and increasingly The Office), I find it sometimes painfully uncomfortable to watch. For some reason, Seinfeld wasn't that way for me. The characters are despicable people for the most part, but you still want to spend a half hour with them every week.

Eat fish skin? Then yer stuck with scaling the fish I guess.

I take it you've never been to a southern fish fry.

[austrya]

You definitely have to eat the skin when you're eating perch and sunfish and crappie that you caught a few hours prior.

That's how I feel about the few episodes I've seen of the Extras.

i'm not saying i disagree with you, but i've never seen the seinfeld characters as despicable. well, george might be. but nonetheless, i always thought the genious of that show was that the characters acted as all people wish they could act, but knew they just couldn't. or at least the way i wish i could act. especially jerry.

[NightOfJoy]

Yep, never been invited to one.......

 

Austrya, why eat perch, bluegill and/or crappie skin? I've been catching and eating fish my whole life and have never heard of this being done. Whats the benefits?

[austrya]

I don't know if it has any benefits as far as nutrition, but I think it might help hold the filet together a little better while you're frying it.

 

That's just they way I've always had it.

 

Coat the filets in a little flour, salt, and lemon pepper and fry it. Skin and all.

I am in possession of a 1908 Honus Wagner card that was rendered nearly worthless by its original owner (my grandfather, at age 7).

 

Not blasphmey, but certainly sacrelige.

I've never heard of a 1908 Wagner card, but it could still be worth some money, no?

 

The famous one (like the one owned by Wayne Gretzky) was made between 1909-1911.

[Sir Stewart]

I kept an Honus Wagner Cracker Jack card in my wallet for years hoping it would somehow be worth $$$.

I did that shit too. Weird.

Then that was the one. Probably 1909, that makes sense.

I'm not really a baseball card guy; all I know is that it was worth a shitton of cash and that it's the Holy Grail of baseball cards.

IIRC, the Honus Wagner card that is worth so much was the one that was put out by a cigarette company when they used to put cards in packs of smokes. Wagner was vehemently anti-tobacco and requested/forced the company to cease and desist. So few cards were produced, and fewer survived, that drove it to the status it's at. While a Cracker Jack card would be valuable, it isn't the big one.

 

Now, a blaspheme so I don't get in trouble:

 

Oprah Winfrey is a danger to the fabric of society.

 

Edit: I don't recall exactly correctly. Honus Wagner T206 card

Oh, this was a Cracker Jack card from like 1999 - I didn't really think it would be worth anything, it was just kind of cool to carry around.

[EL the Famous]

i had a full set of not-at-all-mint KISS cards that i was sure was going to be worth big $ when i went to go sell them in high school. needless to say, i should have just kept them.
