2 serious questions:

1. Do you have 2 signatures or are you re-pasting (maybe even re-typing) your Fish Farms comment each time you post?

2. Why don't you left align the Fish Farms comment?

David48 might be gearing up for some heavy investment in the Fish Farming and Visa Agent areas of business expertise.

We have the Bargirls sponsors as potential sponsors, so why not 'David's Fish Farm' as a sponsor?

I'm sure he can supply some tasty specimens for lunch time BBQing...Shouldn't cost him too much to feed the troops...always a few dead fish floating on top of the pond..

I'll tell you a secret here that I prefer not to put on the Farming Forum ...

Yes, they do get some that die.

Mostly, almost always, it's because they have run out of oxygen, hence they are still 'clean' fish and the oxygen level drops to it's lowest just before sunrise and the ponds are inspected not long after first light.
Hence the fish are 'recently collected, much the same as the time taken from cacthing the fish and they are taken to the market.

Mostly they get salted and placed in the glass jars and sold at the market ... the Issan people apparently love this taste of preserved salty fish.

As for me ... personally I'd be going for the Prawns.

My first impression when seeing this thread was that this was one of those complete the sentence contests.

As in:

Maybe an extension here ... or a new complete thread ...

Okay ...they are fat...no getting around that fact...so Cricket would suit many Americans.(Sadly, Australians are also fast catching up)

Let me explain...  

Americans, being so large, they can often have problems fitting into the booth seats in restaurants, or even on the standard seat.  Their arse can hang over each side of the seat, creating the needs for them to have two seats.   While the restaurants and burger chains and fried chicken outlets like to see the fatties coming into the store (ka-ching! ka-ching! go the cash registers $$$) there is the issue of having all that space taken up.  Lets face it, fatties, if taking up two seats, will reduce the overall available seating space for patrons and while the fatties WILL eat more, there still is a want by the chains to get more patrons through the door

The Cricket field is perfect. It has lots of room for all the fatties.  

The fatties can be sent to the outfield and the Thais can plonk down a few concession stands (i don;t want to harp on too much about revenue, but lets face it, if you want the game to expand!)....The fatties can put their feet up, enjoy some processed sausage, som tam, noodles...3-4 litres of Coke (with extra ice of course!), maybe get some lounges out there and they can have a snooze.

We might need to raise the number of players permitted on the field to say , maybe 30, because these tubs of lard aren't going anywhere in a hurry, and we wont see many chase downs for the ball before the boundary rope.  The upside is they are large and if well positioned they can deflect more than the occasional boundary.  Much the same as the game Test match , which I featured in a Youtube video link about 400 posts ago.

At the end of day, if they have eaten too much , we can just roll them off the ground.

Very good post; all valid and well-articulated ideas

I would just change the last point to: ... if they have eaten too much, we can just USE THEM TO ROLL THE PITCH

You might want to read Netherland by Joseph O'Neill, surely the most interesting book I have read this year about cricket in the US

2 serious questions:

1. Do you have 2 signatures or are you re-pasting (maybe even re-typing) your Fish Farms comment each time you post?

2. Why don't you left align the Fish Farms comment?

David48 might be gearing up for some heavy investment in the Fish Farming and Visa Agent areas of business expertise.

We have the Bargirls sponsors as potential sponsors, so why not 'David's Fish Farm' as a sponsor?

I'm sure he can supply some tasty specimens for lunch time BBQing...Shouldn't cost him too much to feed the troops...always a few dead fish floating on top of the pond..

I'll tell you a secret here that I prefer not to put on the Farming Forum ...

Yes, they do get some that die.

Mostly, almost always, it's because they have run out of oxygen, hence they are still 'clean' fish and the oxygen level drops to it's lowest just before sunrise and the ponds are inspected not long after first light.
Hence the fish are 'recently collected, much the same as the time taken from cacthing the fish and they are taken to the market.

Mostly they get salted and placed in the glass jars and sold at the market ... the Issan people apparently love this taste of preserved salty fish.

As for me ... personally I'd be going for the Prawns.

if it does smell of fish, and the cheerleaders are the bargirls, it might not be the fish that have caused the smell
