Great show! Three portions that really had me going. Seeing how I often listen to the show when I'm working out on my treadmill (yes, really), perhaps I'd better start wearing the safety tether again. I practically fell off two or three times during the show.

The part about trying to get Elliot to eat the salmon was hilarious. I'm certain his histrionics made it all the funnier. Mmmm... salmon jam, salmon candy, salmon gum. The pinnacle of the flavor experience has to be the salmon-flavored yogurt, though. I'd buy it if someone made it. ;) It reminds me of the time when I was growing up (around 5 or 6 years old) and I tried to sneak out one of those breaded chopped veal cutlets to the dog. I had stuffed it under my armpit hoping nobody would notice it, but ended up getting caught trying to sneak it past my mom and grandmother who were standing in the kitchen. It wasn't bad enough that I had gotten busted, but I ended up having to eat the thing anyway! Now *that* is disgusting.

Then the part about the barstools: "That's ergonomics for nerds, baby." Oh. My. God. You inspired me to coin a new word (I think, anyway): NERDGONOMICS! I've even google'd and Yahoo!'ed it and nothing comes up, so it's mine, all mine! Of course, I'll happily give credit to Croncast for the inspiration.

Finally, the quote from Betsy at the end, "save up the quarters towards your bypass surgery," had me in tears. Where do you folks come up with this stuff?

From the department of useless information...fish do have a swim bladder that helps them with buoyancy..http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swim_bladder

"cabbage abortions" just might be the best phrase yet! I HATE brussels sprouts and now i have a better name for those evil seeds! haha. THANKS guys!

And PS: I own an electric knife. I got it as a wedding gift. Used it one time, but thanks for the reminder. It's a fun little tool!

Cort, it's good to know that your fish anatomy skills have come in handy.
