Couldn't the orcas decide that since the fish-loving seals are right there, a change of diet might be in order?
Apparently the Seattle whales won't do blubber. If it ain't salmon, they ain't having it. They're snooty like that.
Lorne: Back in Pylea they used to call me "sweet potato." Connor: Really. Lorne: Yeah, well, the exact translation was "fragrant tuber" but…

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I kind of hate that, tommyrot. The fact is, you can be a Christian and believe in evolution, and the fish symbol is, at heart, just a Christian symbol, not a Crazy Christian symbol.
Well yeah, I see that. It's just that there's been that whole "war" of fish symbols on both sides. But I guess the evolution folks appropriated the fish and started it.

What is that fish symbol all about?
It's this thing in the New Testament where Jesus tells his disciples to go out and convert folks and be "fishers of men."
eat: Oh, and when the Romans were oppressing the Christians, it became sort of an underground symbol. Like 'V'.

Really? There are snottier symbols used by Christians, based on the ichthus? I've only seen the ones that feel anti-Christian to me, even when they are funny.
Allyson, here: [link] Basically, it's an ancient symbol with some probably back-formed relationship to Jesus.

I haven't gotten my W2s yet.
I could've signed up to get them online, however since I couldn't even load the site to sign up, it seemed like a bad idea. My company has the lamest internal web design. Wait, it's worse than lame. It's actively stupid and broken.
So I haven't done my taxes yet.

Yeah. Those were in response to the evolution "fish with legs" one.

Oh, like this?
A variant-upon-a-variant, there is also in this line the "Truth" fish in which an ichthys with the word "truth" inside is shown eating the Darwin fish. It may or may not be a Christian retaliation against the Darwin fish.
That is snotty. Sorry, evolutionistas!

I see that one all the time.
