Those look really nice, are you going to cook them like a brisket?





:tsk: Sorry that was a carp-ie joke
 
Found this and thought it would be fun to share.


In the early 80's, at the Ankor Bar, in Vancouver, BC, the Doc Fingers Band came up with an unusual way to keep spirits up: puns based on fish and song titles. After a couple of weeks the flood of humor had started to die down, but you could tell another pun was on its way when one of the guys in the band would start chuckling to himself, usually in the middle of a tune. The fish jokes had a second incarnation when I introduced them as a way to pass the time on a three week bus tour of Germany in 1993, with Rex Allen's All-Star Swing Express. Both bands contained the ideal combination of sick yet fertile minds that lead to such thinking, although I must say that some of the best examples of the genre also came from members of the Mike Vax Combo during a particularly long bus ride one night near Spokane sometime around 1985.
