#1 "We're sorry, but the chef refuses to start a new whale for parties less than 8."

"We're out of the large rolls today."

(Excuses given for why the whale sandwich could not be ordered at the Olde World Cheese Shoppe, Schaumburg, Illinois, circa 1987.)

#2 I actually already have eaten whale meat, but, looking at it with hindsight, I'm not that comfortable with the thought of having eaten something that was probably cleverer than me by half, if not more.

#3 AC, if anyone else than me has seen that show of theirs, they are their own worst enemies no matter which sea they are in.

For further whiplash, watch deadliest catch beforehand. Seriously, I think this flatlander could skipper better than that ship of fools.

Another way to look at it, they video doc'd themselves proving to be a nautical menace even before they conducted ramming and armed assaults.

#4 I gotta admit the "Japanese tradition" excuse has always made my hair stand on end. There are a number of Japanese tradtions that have gone (thankfully) by the wayside for good reason.
