Whale blubber is especially tasty eaten this way and all that fat is good for the skin.

I have a harpoon in my living room (check out my gallery) and would be happy to lend it out.)

Watch out. My wife takes that. She read something about people 'sleep driving' after taking that. She thought it was bunk til last night. She took a Lunestra. When she woke up this morning she was nude. Sometime during the night she got up, removed her PJs and underwear, folded them up neatly and went back to bed. I sleep like the dead and never noticed because she was up and dressed before I woke.

I'm just not sure what to say about your wife stripping for you and you not noticing.....

traditionally, addiction has been defined as being possible only to a psychoactive substance (for example alcohol, tobacco and other drugs) which ingested cross the blood-brain barrier, altering the natural chemical behavior of the brain temporarily.

I think you'll find that glucose (sugar) meets all of those requirements. Keep in mind that all carbohydrates are digested and become glucose in the bloodstream; some more quickly than others, but ultimately they all are digested the same.

Further definition of addiction is as follows:

Quote:

* Taking the drug more often or in larger amounts than intended.

* Unsuccessful attempts to quit; persistent desire, craving.

* Excessive time spent in drug seeking.

* Feeling intoxicated at inappropriate times, or feeling withdrawal symptoms from a drug at such times.

* Giving up other things for it.

* Continued use, despite knowledge of harm to oneself and others.

* Marked tolerance in which the amount needed to satisfy increases at first before leveling off.

* Characteristic withdrawal symptoms for particular drugs.

* Taking the drug to relieve or avoid withdrawal.

Interestingly enough, sugar fits quite a few of those.

I've got a trade deal with the Inuit Eskimos. I ship them McDonald's and they ship me back whale blubber. A dozen Big Macs, and a dozen Double Quarter Pounders with cheese and a gross of Egg McMuffins gets me 25 pounds of whale blubber. What a McDeal! They now have high blood pressure, coronary infarctions and strokes...and I don't. Not fair that they didn't have any diseases when they were living off meat, fish and whale blubber. We fixed their healthy wagons by introducing them to processed grains and junk food. You know--carbs!

Sunny!

I'd rather have McLobster, myself.

Maybe I can score some with the folks from Maine.
