I know. I am just trying to keep things family friendly.
How odd. My family isn't friendly, is yours?
There are some stories about the lizard babies on fanfiction.net. Some of them have the babies growing up and coming to search for Janeway... and they're not very happy at being abandoned.And it would stay a kitten forever
I just know Janeway will one day feel like she left something behind at the shops and that will be the beginning of her long search for her babies.
Did Tom EVER have one of those "character muses to himself and recaps entire episode of Star Trek in the middle of treklit story" about the lizard babies in a relaunch novel, triggered by being a father to Miral? Because I bet he did, I bet it is in there somewhere.
At least one SNW story also involves the lizard babies, but it's not quite so morbid.
No, this person told me that's how she grew up. But for all I know she stole this from Round the Twist.
Hey remember that great penis fish episode of Round the Twist? Only on aus chldren's programming
I only remember the theme tune and the general weirdness (and the original girl who was hot)
Pie just doesn't seem like the right word to me (too neat)......i always thought trifle would be a better word (all messy and sticky.....not to mention the disappointment of significantly less grip than what you're hoping for)
You've never seen Plomeek Pie?
It was a fourth season episode of Enterprise, so I can understand how you might have given up on Enterprise by that point.

I'm dying here..
In keeping with the theme, I thought it would have been more like something of the fish family like a smorgasbord or something...
Smorgasbord isn't a fish...
It is also not an interstellar collective entity that assimilates people and technology (while offering them tables full of food). That would be a SmorgasBorg.

If there are Human Sushi Platters, why can't someone use a fish to serve smorgasbord off?
I know that it's a kind of swedish buffet but they get plenty of fish, smoked, more often than not. I am from a country that knows a thing or two about cuisine, remember? That macdonald crap you eat all day isn't doing you any good.
People who eat sushi often get all kinds of parasites. We don't understand you people's obsession with this crap. I've read an article that would make you puke your guts if you had just eaten that stuff before reading it.
And also about copping an attitude, apparently.
Quite so, which is why I don't actually eat it.
Smorgasbord actually looks pretty good, although there's no way on God's green earth I would ever eat lutefisk.
Where I live, it is not uncommon for a shulk of ram's penises to be BBQed to within an inch of perfection and be served to one and all.

The Japanese, especially the rich kind, are crazy people. I refused to eat fugu, even though the guy assured me that it was safe. Hundreds of people drop dead every year eating that stuff, but the Japanese eat it anyway, it's like a reverse lottery. I am not that crazy about food that I am willing to risk my life to taste a new dish.
First of all "hundreds of people" do not die from eating fugu.
"Statistics from the Tokyo Bureau of Social Welfare and Public Health indicate 20 to 44 incidents of fugu poisoning per year between 1996 and 2006 in Japan (a single incident may involve multiple diners). Each year, these incidents led to between 34 and 64 victims being hospitalized and zero to six deaths, an average fatality rate of 6.8%. Of the 23 incidents reported in Tokyo from 1993 through 2006, only one took place in a restaurant. All others involved fishermen eating their catch.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fugu#cite_note-tokyo-14" (wiki)
Most of the problems come from people thinking they know what they are doing with fish they caught.
I have eaten fugu, it was DELICIOUS. I didn't have it as sashimi, I had it in a broth as a soup (the entire fish was cut in half in the bowl). I would eat it as sashimi with no qualms though, in a restaurant.
I just ate a sashimi today, in my country it must be frozen while raw and then served thawed. The freezing kills any parasites. Horror stories you can find on the internet happen where the the science of hygienic food preparation has been ignored or not understood. The exact same horror stories can be found about eggs, chicken, beef and potato salad. Sashimi is no more dangerous to eat than any of these things.
Here is the fugu soup I ate:
And here is the back half of the fish that I pulled out of the bowl, I had already eaten the head:

The last fish dish I ate was a Bouillabaisse, the chef who cooks it is from Marseilles. You have to order it at least one day in advance. Sorry, I didn't take any pictures.
