Re: Maryland Puts $200 Bounty On African Migrants

Wildlife officials in Maryland have put a bounty on the snakehead, the so-called "fish from hell" that can migrate on land and devastates the eco-systems of lakes, ponds and streams.
The state will give out $200 gift cards for Bass Pro Shops as well as other prizes for catching and killing the fish, which is native to Africa and Asia but is believed to have made its way to America through Asian seafood merchants.

The core joke of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is that of course no civilization would develop personal computers with instant remote database recovery, and then waste this technology to find good drinks.
Steve Jobs has ruined this joke.

It's too late. : ( Those [suckers] are spreading.

Ugly, scary looking things. They get pretty big too.

River Monsters (TV show on Animal Planet) has convinced me to never go into the water again.

Re: Maryland Puts $200 Bounty On African Migrants

i saw this on another site i think arby posted in chat and believe it said they could bite through steel toed boots. if the contest was sponsored by miller lite or a better beer company and the gift certificates were for beer then i'd consider getting a group of friends together and try our luck.   however, the certificate for the bass shop doesn't do me any good

So I told the cop, "No YOU'RE driving under the influence... of being a JERK!"

Re: Maryland Puts $200 Bounty On African Migrants

hmmm not bad ideas chris and arfeh. 

perhaps we could build an army of snake fish that we get scientists and hollywood animal trainers to train since they can go on both land and sea and make the perfect soldier

Breed them to huge sizes and turn them into remote, mobile weapons platforms.

Mate...I can understand dislike for other aspects of Asia...in fact, there are tons of things I don't like...but never can you deny that Asian countries have come up with some of the MOST flavoursome foods out there (maybe a bit strange...but I can't believe how delicious the food is here)....

Reminder: Samuel Adams Summer Ale is here!

Why would anyone drink Fosters? Is it worth trying, or is it the Australian version of Anheuser Busch/Molson Coors/etc? tongue

Re: Maryland Puts $200 Bounty On African Migrants

i only ever had fosters once and it was because it was at a bar at a wedding reception and a 24 ounce can was the same price as a 12 ounce bottle of any other beer and they only took cash.  it wasn't that bad actually but i wouldn't drink it on a regular basis

and the only good sam adams seasonal is their octoberfest!!!!  i love their regular boston lager and their black lager as well even though they keep rejecting my applications to work for their legal team in  boston.  they probably heard about me and are afraid ill take advantage of their free beer for employees deal
