Nice try, Matt. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Now I'm just thinking about how I can't afford a nice salmon . . . <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

I think it makes the scene better - it seems less overacted that way <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Now all it needs is Bill Shatner..

I might let him get away with the salmon but if it was after my stash of tasty libation it would have a problem on it's paws. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Just make sure you walk quietly and carry a big stick!

I really, really like salmon...but there is a limit as to what I will do for one. No, the risk outweighs the reward!
