I wish to state for the record that no walruses were harmed in the creation of my Free Republic account.

That is a relief. :^) Of course, if some had been harmed, the most likely response from your fellow FReepers would have been "tusk, tusk".

And my retort would have been, “ Has anyone gotten the coals hot yet? This fresh blubber ain’t gonna cook itself, ya know........!”

Walrus is delicious, but it’s a pain to knead the dough to make the oversized buns for the walrus sandwiches.

Game of Thrones has rekindled interest in the imaginary version of the sword-swingin' berserkin' crazies of the Middle Ages.

Typical hate eyes from a typical socialist/commie these days. Again, how do they get out of bed in the morn with the first thing on their minds is HATE? What an awful existence.
