You really don't. They go on and on and on about all the unfairness and how no one does anything for them and that they're unappreciated. It's torture.

Worse, they'll probably insist on telling their story right after kickoff.

I have personally caught many in Lake Michigan.

You're talking about STDs, right?

Big ones, right?

I assume you shot a lion once. At a ranch in Texas.

Sounds like this entry was planted by some anti-alewife forces. I'd like to hear the alewifes' side of the story.

"Alewives are perhaps best known for their invasion of the Great Lakes by using the Welland Canal to bypass Niagara Falls. Alewives colonized the Great Lakes and became abundant mostly in lakes Erie, Huron and Michigan. They reached their peak abundance by the 1950s and 1960s. Alewives grew in number unchecked because of the lack of a top predator in the lakes (lake trout were essentially wiped out around the same time by overfishing and the invasion of the exotic sea lamprey). For a time, alewives, which often exhibit seasonal die offs, washed up in windrows on the shorelines of the Great Lakes. Their control was the impetus for the introduction of various Pacific Salmon species (first coho, and later the chinook salmon) to act as predators on them. This caused the development of a salmon/alewife fish community, popular with many sport anglers. Alewives, however, have been implicated in the decline of many native Great Lakes species through competition and predation."

Wiki omits the fact that they smell like shit. The shit of a thousand burning suns.

Meanwhile, the stupid salmon keep trying to jump up the falls, and have to rely on humans to truck them in instead.

No. The cohos don't get that big. The kings (chinook) do.

This does not seem like it is their side of the story.

Tell that to the zebra mussles. Or the asian carp.

Zebra mussels, sure, but what does SNYC have to do with anything?

Of course. It will be a big mess of hookers, blow, alcohol, cats and humping puppies (if ABBA joins us) and boxes full of apartment contents. Be there or be square.

My friend who used to work at Durgin Park with ppnyc? She used to say "Be there or be my ex-friend."

I miss her. (And she is now actually my ex-friend.)

Actually, she fits in perfectly with the topic.

The first fish I ever caught was a salmon.

AON - the combination of the Sox showing in the World Series, many pints, and a Spam All-Stars show make for a very hungover Anne Elk.

Thank goodness the Spam All Stars aren't playing tonight.

Good point.
