You know, those heartless bears don't even think about the fish's suffering at all.LKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08379366984838928487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8210258.post-1163633174895843852006-11-15T17:26:00.000-06:002006-11-15T17:26:00.000-06:00Well, I hope I wasn't eating the cockroach from #1...Well, I hope I wasn't eating the cockroach from #132.<BR/><BR/>Yes, killing a fish (and cooking it later that night) was a truly traumatic experience for me. The trout "swallowed the hook," convulsed and bled from the mouth. It couldn't flap a few times and die quietly like all the other trout. Have to admit, it was darn tasty!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8210258.post-1163625411534662742006-11-15T15:16:00.000-06:002006-11-15T15:16:00.000-06:00You can "blame" me for that one.

I think that fish should count, considering that some fish actually kill, clean, and eat people (something people in Hawaii definitely know about, right?)Doc Marahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07545489565402563432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8210258.post-1163624881384114742006-11-15T15:08:00.000-06:002006-11-15T15:08:00.000-06:00Okay, Sport.

It certainly goes way beyond the feel-good/self-help litany of predictable experiences ("have you dipped your feet in the ocean?"), though it preserves some of the elements of it. I have to say, while I don't normally go for this kind of thing, the inclusion of unpleasant and "real life" experiences, like putting someone you love in Hospice care--certainly not a stop-and-smell-the-roses-moment--increases its intrigue factor.<BR/><BR/>If I tried #58, many others would no doubt have fulfilled #116.Lancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14530215510224882172noreply@blogger.com
