How To "Ponder" Big Words

By Professor DLG'er

In todays lesson, our helper shown at right is going to help us learn how to "ponder" big words.

Our helper shows that all you have to do is:
 
  *Slap on your best 'sh*t eatin grin'
  *Blankly stare off to your left

And voila!!!  Pondering big words!!!

Writing my own newspaper column after Izetta's words of encouragement: "Maybe you should be writing a column in the paper too! I'm sure that other people would be happy to hear of these prices, and I'm also confident that you could explain it in a way that makes sense to your regular, average Joe. You know, not too many big, fancy words that are incomprehensible"

Fish is good for you
By DLG'er, filling in for IC at the paper this week.

Salmon is full of Omega 3, which makes it good for you.  Eat lots.

Words Of Wisdom

By Professor DLG'er
Do not attempt commercial projects (grinding up fish waste, growing vegetables to sell- you know, commercial projects) on your personal property that is zoned residential.  Higher ups will see this as not following the rules like everyone else and you will be ordered to halt.

Introduction To Advanced Aerodynamics

By Professor DLG'er
In todays lesson, we are going to use a blistering hot day and our vehicles for our learning experience.

Imagine yourself driving down the road on a very hot sunny day.  It must be 90 degrees inside your vehicle.  Either your vehicle doesn't have A/C, or the A/C is broken.  What do you do?  Do the following:

• Roll your driver side window down all the way
• Rest your forearm on the door, with your hand pointing forward
• Cup your hand (palm up) and lower your arm slowly 
• Once your hand drops below the mirror, you should feel a blast of air
• With trial & error, you should be able to direct the blast of air up your arm and to your body
• Palm below the mirror worked for me, you might have to try above the mirror

Once you can successfully direct the blast of air to your body, you have passed the 'Introduction To Advanced Aerodynamics' class!

IT'S NOT FAIR!
By Dlg'er

Some overseas farmed fish get to use the organic label.  Wild fish doesn't.  Those farmed fish eat wild fish.  It's not fair!

GETTING MORE $ FOR YOUR CATCH
By Dlg'er

Buyers will pay you more for your fish if you chill your catch.

FISH PRICES
By Dlg'er

The current price for frozen salmon in the grocery store is high, so maybe the price at the cannery this summer will also be high.

I wonder...

...is Izetta Chambers really, really, really smart?  Or does she need to open up her biology book and thesaurus when she writes her bits for the Bristol Bay Times and uses words that nobody understands.  And that picture...she should snap a new shot.  Maybe she could focus her eyes on the camera this time and wipe that blankety-blank grin off her face.

Don't know what you have...until you see what other people pay for it

Me in the summertime:  Catch some fish to sell for 50 cents or so per pound.  Every now and then pluck a couple out to bring home.  Slice em up into fillets for the freezer to eat during the dark wintery days.

Me not too long ago:  Walking through the aisles in a Carrs Quality Center.  Some frozen salmon fillets thawing in an open refrigerated bin caught my eye.  A closer look revealed price tags ranging from $15- $20 for a single fillet.

Me after seeing the price tags on the thawing salmon fillets:  Hmm...maybe I should slice up a few extras this summer.    I guess I didn't realize what I had until I saw what other people are paying for the same thing.

REACTIONS TO GETTING A CUT ON A FINGER:

Me:  Dammit!!! I cut myself!!!  Where the hell are those band-aids...

Izetta Chambers:  Blast!  It appears as if (opening up a human anatomy book) I have nearly severed a blood vessel, hence the blood flowing out of my finger.  If I apply a slight pressure to the wound, the blood should coagulate.  Coagulation is a complex process by which blood forms clots.  It is an important part of hemostasis, wherein a damaged blood vessel wall...
