Dammit, Jim, I am an architect, not a biologist; but even I know that mammaries are limited to, you know, MAMMALS.
Although I am pretty positive that Rick Santorum disagrees.
What about Canadian Nightcrawlers, zrm?
~
So Canadian worms have boobs. Canada is weird.
Again, no biologist here; but I am still pretty sure that picture shows a fish with boobs.
Canadian Nightcrawlers was a pretty unsuccessful New Wave band, thdnr.
Lovely photos, thundra. That nuthatch is at the most perfect nuthatch angle. The best would be if you could get a video of one going up and down a tree.
I will not comment on the fish link. I am not that kind of person.
Also, so far Rick Santorum has shown no awareness of Canada, let alone Canuckinoid wormies.
Yeah, a fish with boobs... waiting to gobble a real, pulsing, wiggling worm.
Dear. Lord. thundra... That car oops shook something loose in you, didn't it.
I am flashing back to a comment left at fish's loooooong ago.... back when fish had comments... I'm thinking of the one hand question. ZRM will know what I'm talking about.
Onward!
Also, that moon/branch photo is glorious in it's eerie mooniness.
That should have been "its" eerie mooniness... I've gone to ZRM typo hell.
I guess I won't know what to think until fish weighs in.

I guess I'm pretty confused by the ad. It's about worms and says their jumbo but it's a fish with the giant cans. Like I said, I'm confused.
I wonder if Jumbo Bait had to pay royalties to Seinfeld.
They're
I guess I'm pretty confused by the ad. It's about worms and says their jumbo but it's a fish with the giant cans.
It is confusing... it's playing off of the Seinfeld episode where Teri Hatcher is talking about her wonderful boobs, so the fish has boobs... and yet, it's supposed to be about attracting fish... with worms... So are we talking gay fish? Or...the female fish with big boobs want to gobble a wriggling worm?? But they talk as if the fish worm is being eaten... men will think of big bosomed fish as gobbling their worm?? It is confusing. Just throw in everything about sex and hope the fisherpeople take the bait. I don't know.
"and hope the fisherpeople take the bait. "
I see what you did there.
Yeah , I know it's a seinfeld quote. If I were a Seinfeld person, I'd sue for being used in a spectacularly dumb ad.
LOL! Yes, they should.
See? This is why we need fish to weigh in.
Perhaps someone should let him out of the freezer?

Come on, people, have you never feeshed?
It is clearly a contrast between artificial lures SOME fishermen use - and some lures are UNNATURALLY AUGMENTED - and real wormies, which are apparently spectacular, if you ask fish. And if you go the real/artifical route, some guys just automatically go to the chesticular region.
Myself, I just always kind of didn't care for the hook-through-the-worm part of it.
But yes, this thread is all but calling out for fish. I hope he's not fried today.
Perhaps someone should let him out of the freezer?
Let's not get crazy here.
Yes, the eerie mooniness.
Come on, people, have you never feeshed?
Hey, I even took a college class in it to get my last credit!! And had Bobby Knight as a guess instructor for flycasting. He asked me to go fishing with him. I turned him down.
So, yeah, yeah, I get the different between live-writhing ake-shun and cold, blow-up doll plastic, but still... it's a dumb ad for dumbasses.
it's a dumb ad for dumbasses.
I don't think we ever disagreed about that.
as a guess instructor
Did he not tell you his name?
I even took a college class in it
What the hell kind of college did you go to? Texas A&M?
:)
forgot that.
I got a merit badge for feeshing.

So Jennifer went to Boy Scout college?
What the hell kind of college did you go to? Texas A&M?
Yes, because everyone knows Texas A&M is the first place you think of when thinking of Bobby Knight. Pffft.
I had one credit left that I needed and by gawd, was not going to take one credit more. The only 1 credit classes were HYPR classes... I could not take scuba diving, so I took Bait and Fly Casting. I was the only female in it.
Nice badge, thundra. Grizzled has one as well. He said that was an easy one. :)
So Jennifer went to Boy Scout college?
No, although I married an Eagle Scout, who had his certificate signed by none other than Dick Nixon!!! He said he stayed in as long as he did because he liked the camping. He said there was no way in hell they'd take someone like him today.
Naw, I was just thinking that Aggies are notorious for having taken classes like basketweaving and such.
I suppose I shouldn't talk, I took a class in bowling. Although in my defense, it was Wisconsin.
But as a Cub Scout washout, I feel that y'all are waving your scouting prowess in my face maliciously and hurtfully.
[sniffle]
emo zombie.
I got a merit badge for Canoeing, Jennifer. 8 of us signed on for that, and I was the only who got it. (Our instructor was the epitome of dour Norwegian.)
I only joined for the camping, fishing, and looking for snakes (I got the Herpetology merit badge, also, too).
P.S. Here's a youtube.

I bet they have a badge for that now!!
Yay thundra! You tell those dour Norwegians who's boss!! Grizzled said he also got canoeing (no dour Norwegian), and also had rowing and sailing.
I only joined for the camping, fishing
That sounds like Grizzled. I think he also got an unofficial badge for rolling one's own. Different times.
FYI- Grizzled did NOT get the Herpetology badge... said he doesn't like snakes that much.
Grizzled rolled his own snakes?
I think I see why I never cut it in the scouts.
Rarely do you see a Whites-only Nuthatch outside of Washington! Oh, wait, that's not true...
Weird. I thought everyone joined Boy Scouts for the chicks.
So HAWT!
even after all these years, there is still so much to learn about each other.
Supermoons of Doom will be the end of us all.
I think I have lost my way on the homoerotic continuum.
Also, so far Rick Santorum has shown no awareness of Canada, let alone Canuckinoid wormies.
Life is good.
Nice bird shots - too bad the hairy woodpecker took two in the back o' the head.
I thought you promised baby woodpecker photos today, thudner...
[Insert Anthony's Weiner joke here.]
You can't hurry love, Jennifer.
