One fish,Two fish,Red fish,Dead fish!..


Wanted: Highly motivated,self starter to work in
the O-Town "Ecological Census" department.
Qualified applicants will enjoy working outdoors,
taking leisurely walks along the river,and counting
the bloated,putrefied,maggot ridden corpses of dead Salmon...

O-Town has hit the bigtime boys and girls!..
We are prominently featured on The Discovery Channel's "Dirty Jobs" to be aired Jan.16th(that's tomorrow) at 9pm.

Every year,from September to December,an accounting is made of all the dead Salmon along the Feather River.
This,in an effort to determine the number of fish that return each year to spawn.

You don't want to miss this!..Unless you like,.have a life or something..

****In Other News****

The O-Town McDonald's announced today,the addition of their new menu item,..the "Salmon McMuffin"...I'm outta here..

I've seen the ads for this episode. It's a bizarrely compelling show, actually, but not really the way you want your town to be known.

Ugh. That sounds worse than planting timber trees in Oregon.

Nice Sling, nice. Did you read this paper on the throne with the vent open??? I lived in Rancho cucamonga for a few years in front of a wash that carried stuff I never want to know what it was. Thank you again for visiting...now that I can sort of use the scanner, I might eventually be able to post pictures that are visible and large enough to actually tell what is in the photo..maybe. I am a work in progress.

a salmon mcmuffin can't be any worse than any flavor mcgriddle. i could be wrong, i have no idea what salmon tastes like as I am allergic to all seafood. i've only seen one ep. of "dirty jobs". if i recall correctly, it was about analyzing cow poop for different kinds of necrosis...awesome.

Watched the Dirty Jobs show last night about the dead fish in your town. It was interesting environmental research, not a disgusting thing at all. However, the second segment on the same show was about flower pots made of cow poop. Now that's a bit gross. But it did give the great substitute term for the manure extruder machine - a "mechanical butthole." Cracked my kids up.

Welp the highly motivated and self-starter attributes rule me out from applying. Drat.
