Can we change that to Porsche tuna? I don't do American cars.
How 'bout Ferrari tuna? =D

Hubby was excited when thus news broke. We will be getting the $50/tuna. We eat it a lot. White in water, mostly.

Of course, my uncle goes tuna fishing each November and stays in our house at the beach, so I usually get several jars of bluefin from him for Xmas! :cool2:

It's only twenty five if you want the cash.

Now I'm full of tuna-guilt. Thanks, Leif.
Haha. Sorry. Just woke up from a nap..a little crabby. Seriously, there's lots of options if you like tuna and don't want to fund those giant companies that still use those destructive methods. I love tuna but mostly catch my own. Skipjack tuna that is caught by hook and line is sustainable and catching by that method doesn't kill everything in sight. I'm no tree hugger but if you saw what happens on those ships, you'd think twice.

Never believe it but there's a local guy, name of Charlie Tuna, I-S-Y-Not. Will probably live to be a hundred and twenty-eight. Walks or bikes the roads, picking up cans, shows up at the bank where the wife works, asks the tellers to run off copies of letters to companies. Almost every company of consumer goods has that little statement, "if you are not completely satisfied..." Charlie? Never completely satisfied. So, he writes them, includes the UPC or whatever it is, the Mark of the Beast or something solid like that. Get's his 1.98 refunded...which he deposits...to buy more consumer goods...that he can write to the company, never completely satisfied. I suspect one too many letters from ole Charlie Tuna to the Big Talking Heads resulted in some greedy fook of a lawyer, who is never completely satisfied, either, not completely. Eventually, we'll all have iTeeth with iCondemn buttons built in, no need for these long, drawn out spiels on message boards. Charlie Tuna? No way. He'll be wearing out another pair of Keds, writing in to the Ked Factory when those wear out, look in the mailbox for another pair. And so forth.

We have consumed some of the Starkist, albacore I guess. Asked the wife. Love tuna. Know these old dairy farmers? Up Oneco? End of the road there? The Lahti brothers...come in from barn...toast, real butter, and tuna. Eighty years old and they're bailing hay. Taisto drives and Leo is on the wagon catching bales and stacking them. The grasshoppers are impressed with a big operation like that. Year in. Year out.

That is all. Over and out.
