Why do you think they call it the hump? :laff:

 

[NickH]

I'm not sure which is the bigger crime, veganism or $600 for a meal without drinks!

No kidding. Let it die and be replaced by a restaurant the rest of us can eat at!

 

[twotwowoo]

Why is this illegal?

 

[rd757]

Why is this illegal?

I assume because of this....

The possession or sale of marine mammals is a violation of the Marine Mammal Protection Act, and can lead to a year in prison and a fine of $20,000.

Just a guess.

Had some really good scorpion downstairs at Typhoon a couple weeks ago.

Wow, I thought you were kidding at first.

Federal Agents.

Then I thought, it's a good thing a guy can't board an international flight to the U.S. after buying a ticket with cash, without baggage, especially after his father called the U.S. consulate!

But really, we must close the airport! Airports kill whales! Gaaaah!

It that whale wars show still on?

I'm having a steak for my birthday, by God!



Lotsa thoughts tonight...

So what. SMO is like the Beverly Hills of airports. Everything there is way to expensive for what you get.

I'm sorry, but if i had the money, I would totally pay to eat one of god's rarest creatures. Be it a whale, panda bear, chupacabra, or unicorn.

Unicorn.

Delicious.

I myself would go for the Bald Eagle drumstick.

Only if its been fried in the tears of a virgin gypsy, and battered in the breadcrumbs from the table of the last supper.

Mmmmm. Chupacabra.

See? This is why we can't have nice things, anymore.


















That last unicorn was crazy yummy, though...

The Hump makes national news!

"Someone should not be able to walk into a restaurant and order a plate of an endangered species," said U.S. Attorney Andre Birotte Jr.

I say shut them down..........

 

[Nigel Croker]

Good maybe it will keep PETA busy on the west coast instead of making fools of themselves in Central Florida....

 

[moxiepilot]

now the real question is, if you are a federal agent and ordered the whale which is then served to you - do you eat it knowing that you will never have the opportunity (as well as many others) to taste the dish?
