got a whale of a tale to tell ya, lads

Snow today. There’ve been a few snowy days before this one, but none that I counted carefully because the stuff failed to stick and melted away within a few hours. This morning’s bout disappeared as well. However, the snowfall looked pretty damn dramatic and elicited the proper “oohs” and “so pretties.” Therefore, to continue in my wintertime tradition, I’ll record the fact that it happened.

For lunch, we ate whale. I’d already been chewing without a care in the world on some mysterious deep fried purple squares that tasted kind of like meat and kind of tasty when the teacher next to me pointed out the origins. Then I stopped and had to think about it for a moment. But wait, I said, aren’t whales endangered? The teacher didn’t know. She told me that today was the anniversary of Hamada school lunch, so maybe that had something to do with the menu choice. My sense of moral dilemma got lost in the explanation, and in confusion and utter despair, I just went ahead and finished what remained in the bowl, leaving myself to reconcile later the damage I had done. Now, I have to drive out to the beach this weekend to physically Save a Whale in order to set forth oceanic justice and restore natural order.

Anyway, I do feel a little bad.

    Oh godddamn you Miki, I now have Kirk Douglas’ voice firmly in my head.

    I’ve a whale of a tale to tell you
    A whale of a tale or two,
    bout the rocks and the trees and the birds above
    the fish in the sea and the girl I love
    A whale of a tale and it’s all true
    I swear by my tattoo

    I dunno if that’s actually how it went, but that’s how I remember it, and that has to be worth something.

    Anyway, wales are cute and using my traditional logic, the cuter an animal is, the better it tastes. One of these days I’m going to have roast Jessica Alba and then I can die happy.
