When I was a little kid, the New Bedford Hotel used to have whale steak on their menu.

The whaling industry made New Bedford one of the richest cities in the world back in the mid-19th century. The housing stock is pretty amazing. Too bad it's all hookers & junkies living in it these days.


Nom Nom Nom

I laughed, I'll admit it.

Much drier wit than usual, a nice self-contained set-up and subtle delivery.
I give it an 8.


I'm funny I admit it..

Go whales!!!! Sink the whalers!!!

Was flipping channels last night and saw the show on.

The episode I saw was when the 2 men boarded the whaler. The people of Sea Shepard are idiots. The Capt. does not seem to have the slightest clue what he is doing with a boat, and way to willing to risk the lives of his crew.
Boarding a vessel at sea, from a ship and small boat flying a pirate flag may not be too smart.....
Board a boat they have no reason to be on and then claim that they were kidnapped?

I hope the all of the sea shepard boats sink the next time they go and ram another vessel.

Nice! A Cookie Puss and Fudgy the Whale double Carvel stoke! I'm thinking if this thread continues in this direction that the Carvel store that's 5 minutes from my office may very well be getting a visit at lunchtime today! :)

Man, I'm surprised the Sea Shepard's bridge isn't in better sync! Going through an ice field is NOT the time to discuss, 'I prefer you to say 20 degrees port rather than saying a number...' Followed by other members giving directions to steer, too much!

The young lady who joined and was in the US Navy for six years, serving on surface war ships will probably have some key pointers for them as this series goes on.
