A 100% useless animal I say we go back to eating them.

The native americans did and you enviro nuts think so highly of their "connection to mother earth"

[Gloom and Doom]

Wow! 60 years old. So tough by now that you couldn't even eat it. Soup perhaps.

[The Bottom Line]

Are you sure of your facts? I thought maybe Barbara Boxer or Rosie O'Donnell was older than that?

Hey, I thought eating veggies was supposed to keep you slim! Anyhow, happy birthday Snooty, and may you have many, many more.

And they go great with mashed potatoes and heavy stout!

There is a great saying.

If you are slower than me, or dumber than me, And you taste good,

well then, SORRY ABOUT YOUR LUCK!

Congrats, Snooty, and many happy returns of the day. You rock, ole fella, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Those of you who think it's funny to talk about eating manatees, well...bite all of us who love and appreciate manatees. We're tough!

[Snooty]

Thanks for the free food, but could you find me a girl friend?

Thanks.
