Is there a ten cent bounty on whale tails ?

CS I believe it was Terra Nova that hit a dead whale. From what I remember the whale was bloated and when hit it exploded coating the Terra Nova all the way to the boat deck.
I was on Assiniboine when we ran over a whale. It seems to me that the ship bounced a half a foot but I think passing through our screws finished it off.
In both cases we definatly knew that we hit something.

mmmmmm Lauren Tewes………….. sigh

Ms Tewes much to her regret blew all her love boat earnings.
blew them right up her nose with a bad coke habit.
I remember the ‘people’ magazine article.
feel free to google it, it’s out there somewhere. as is Ms Tewes.
I went to high school with a pert little miss reminded me of Ms Tewes. I remember that too.

In honor of the dead whale, James Cameron and various financial backers from the Film Actors Guild (“FAG”) are considering to film a sequel to Titanic. It is rumoured that Kate Winslet and Leo Dicaprio would play the parts of Victoria the fin whale and Love Boat captain George W Ahab. Also, Tina Fey may have a cameo appearance as the bloodthirsty alaskan huntress that will stop at nothing to bring fin and blubber soup to her people trying to survive the Wasilla desert heat.
Insiders say that Kate will have to consider gaining a few pounds before taking on the role.

Who would have thought that the sudden death of the cumbrous Fin whale would cause such delight, not to mention unsolicited and pitiful attempts (for the most part) at morbid whale humour. Seriously folks, one of the most valuable commodities (by the gram) is compacted whale poop, (ambergris) used to make such expensive perfumes as Dioressence, some-
thing I’ve never had the pleasure to smell. Life is cruel!

A Whale for the Killing. One of Mowat’s novels — it’s actually not bad — not that I like the guy’s politics or anything. Those were Fin whales, too.

So , Larry , if you hurry out to the wharf where that boat is moored and shove your head up that whales ass about 5 feet you might get a whiff of that ambergris . I hope your life improves .

So Cantuc, if you can’t take a joke, it must mean that your jokes stunk the most.

Just trying to help make your dream come true , larry , seriously . Did you find any more tidbits about whales in wikipedia you’d like to sharee ?

Well, it’s a beautiful monday morning on the West Coast I sit down with my coffee and find tha Cantuc
has been sitting up most of the nite looking for a
fight. So okay; I didn’t get the info from Google, but from a book, you know, one of those things you find in a library, that has pages with writing on them, held together by a spine … but of course, you wouldn’t know anything about something you don’t have.

Funny, I’ve been led to believe whales where too intelligent to get themselves run over in low traffic zones. Maybe some of them chase cars and bite tires. Too bad.

Environmentalists say the noise of ships drive whales off their normal migration routes so ships have been getting quieter, now they cannot hear them coming ( total speculation based on making it up in my head ). I am sure whales can hear a cruise ship just fine, this one was deaf, so it is doubly tragic because it was disabled.
Cruise ship full of whale-watchers, the Irony is staggering, perhaps Paul Watson and the Sea Shepards should start ramming cruise ships.
