Jim, it sounds like you have done more than your share of good deeds for the environment lately. Why don't you take the night off before another whole species is exterminated or something!! After a huge dinner of Santa Cruz Island sheep tit, its musky juices running down your chin and onto your hair shirt, I thought you might just like to sit by that rare rainforest hardwood fire and be reminded that one can go too far with this silly, liberal animal-loving plot! You pretend to scoff and laugh, but I know it is simply a defensive mechanism--that you care DEEPLY about our vanishing animal friends, and the pesticides that poison them. It sounds like you might be compensating so much with your wry wit--so that you don't seem effeminate in the eyes of REAL men like Freddy and Michael and Father Terrence--that you have lost touch with reality. So I will make an attempt to put some closure on the last little chaotic threpisode which began in the garden last night and gently change the topic from wild vegetables and the woman who loved them, to the importance of not kissing fish on the mouth, just before I return to my primary agenda of redistributing all the earth's wealth. From my "San Francisco Chronicle" today, in Earth Week by Steve Newman: Kiss Warning Australian anglers were warned about the dangers of the developing fad of kissing fish on the mouth just before releasing them back into the water. Fishing guru Rex Hunt started the unusual sporting practice in his national television series that emphasizes being kind to the animals and giving them another chance after being caught. The Southern Fisheries Journal published a warning that "it pays to watch those fish with teeth, such as snook and leatherjackets, which can inflict a nasty bite." The article advised that if the sportsmen value their lips, they should "kiss the toothy critters somewher other than on the mouth." It was suggested that a simple pat on the back of the fish would be more appropriate before sending it on its way.
