It's the "End of the Line" at On the Line

Bluefin ready for market.
No, I'm not quitting this whole blog business on my second post.

I have a link for you about our fish stocks. I am feeling pretty good about how convenient the release of this film makes it for me to continue writing witty titles.

For the record, I have pretty much sworn off Bluefin tuna and Chilean sea bass. Pretty much. In saying "sworn off", what I really mean is that I haven't been tempted by them. It has been my luck (or as the devil on my other shoulder tells me, my bad luck) that I have not crossed the path of tuna or sea bass on a menu ever since I became conscious of what it really means to eat them.

But they taste so damn good. Seriously. Have you had a plate of tuna sashimi or sea bass baked in a salt crust?



I don't know what I'll do when either is presented to me. Just listen to me - I'm almost talking in the past tense; "presented", as if ordering them is obligatory and I had no part in the decision. Half of me thinks I would do the right thing, not the indulgent thing, but a delicacy is a little like a femme fatale: some men cannot help but indulge themselves, no matter how much chaos and death they know will come about from their wayward acts.

Maybe this high-profile film, "End of the Line", and the 6 episode special courtesy of Babelgum will bestow (or force) some morally-charged will power upon me. The film is narrated by Ted Danson! wooo.... (I can't really talk trash. The guy was on Cheers and Curb.)

Let me know what you think!
