COOL! A stand up Comedian who likes to do the kicks! (Or is that JAZZERSIZE?)

Actually what a beautiful creature Dino is. What a face! I love his little rounded fingers, too. Amazing to look at.

Does he know any good jokes he can tell us? How many voices does he have? I just have so many questions I don't know where to start... #6832404

Yep Karen, Dino is always smiling, just like me... glad you like him.

Hey Laura, so cool that you noticed Dino enjoys Jazzersize... he wants me to join in but I can only do Yoga with him...
Laura, he sure does know great jokes- just learning to speak in C-O-D-E (then Dino might be willing to tell some here- he says... these jokes are too MESSY and have to be SCREENED first!!

Hi Pat and Graham...yes Dino is real and thanks for saying he's awesome and that you love my title...

Candice... hehe... happy you like my little amph----- (spelling??) He is the closest fellow to a froggie that I know and that would let me photograph him...

Thanks Sherrybear and Laura... r ya ready?? This will be condensed...
A burglar breaks into a home one night, shining his flashlight around...looking for valuables, when a voice in the dark says... "Jesus is watching you." He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked his light off and froze. When he heard nothing more, he shook his head/con'td.
Just as he pulled the stereo out, he heard clear as a bell, "Jesus is watching you"... Freaked out, he shined his light around frantically, looking for the source. Finally, in the corner his flashlight beam came to rest on a parrot. "Did you say that?" he hissed at the bird. "YEP", the parrot squawked..."I'm just trying to warn you that he is watching you"...
"Warm Me, Huh?.. " Who in the world are you?" "MOSES" replied the bird.
"Moses?" the burgler laughed.. "What kind of people would name a bird Moses?"
"THE KIND OF PEOPLE THAT WOULD NAME A ROTTWEILER JESUS"...

No...but I saw some minnows. They were really cute. Does that count? #7624400

Christine Lobsinger June 12, 2009

SMiLing... only counts if you ate some, lol..
Sis, did you ever have to smelt fish with those big nets before? I did as a child.. I wore gloves so I did not have to touch them.
CHRIS #7624443

Laura E. Swan June 12, 2009

What does SMELT mean? "Sm"elling and "melt"ing them at the same time?

HA!

(Truly...I don't know what that means...)

P.S. I didn't eat any of the minnows.

They need time to eat more flies and grow up some.

What is smelt?

Smelt, known best as a tasty batter-dipped, French fried morsel, is a seasonally sought after fish by anyone willing to wade a river and scoop them up with a large net... usually occurring during darkened evenings in early Spring on tributaries of the Great Lakes.

It happens every year in early Spring as smelt make their ritual arrival up rivers to spawn. Avid smelters, dress themselves with waders or hip boots (depending on the depth of water) and line the river with a large dip net used to scoop smelt from within the flowing river.

Captured SmeltYears gone by, smelt dipping was considered a ritual as well- by locals and visitors from all over the country. They'd line river banks with buckets and coolers and in most cases, always filling them up to the brim. The smelt was then taken home, cleaned, stored and or shared with relatives friends and family. Smelt is also stored and used as fishing bait during the Spring and Summer fishing seasons. #7624508
