UConn First Night

[meyers7]

Are you sure? Sounds fishy to me.

Let's not bring @Fishy into this.

 

[JordyG]

Enough already, you guys should clam up.

This whole topic has started to fishtail. I'll let you all off the hook since many posts here seem to merely be canards. In the between I'm going to come up for air, dine on a little surf and turf, and regale you all on the one that got away.

 

[Sifaka]

Perhaps Geno needs @Sifaka to help with the Portuguese?

Not bad, although it might be time to scale back on the fish puns.

In the immortal words of @triaddukefan, "Puxa vida!"

Ok, straight to the basics:

Cod — bacalhau
Squid — lula
Sardine — sardinha
Clams — Amêijoas
Octopus — polvo

Coisas adicionáis (further items) by request.

Speaking of fish ...falando dos pescados... here is a favorite Brasileiro recipe:


Vatapá

Brazilian Shrimp Stew (Vatapá)

With its floral backbone of coconut milk and palm oil, this highly adaptable Brazilian stew finds umami richness in salt cod, dried shrimp, chiles, and nuts.

Those hot cockles could get you into trouble.

I think I smell a red herring.

 

[Zanzman]

I’m going tuna a new attitude and not make anymore jokes

 

[JordyG]

I think I smell a red herring.

This has turned into a whale of a thread. It's going to be tough to winnow through them all. I wouldn't want to leave this half baked.

Well if you can think of any better puns let minnow.

YIKES, could this thread be swimming in the wrong direction?

Wouldn't want to flounder now. I'd just be a shell of a poster, wouldn't I?

 

[Husky fanatic]

Is there a red herring in our midst?

 

[CL82]

Wouldn't want to flounder now. I'd just be a shell of a poster, wouldn't I?

I don't want to discourage you, so just keep Kraken those jokes!

Weaving through the shoals of my past posts I'm sort of running out of ink. I may either have to cede to the sharks of the site or fall on my sword.

There, fixed it so Ms. Cardoso can be confortável (comfortable) with it.

If this young lady chooses UConn now, after reading the above posts , I will be very surprised. These puns are strained in English, let alone translated to her native language. If she signs, she is either uncommonly above the fray (or spray), or shares the piscstorial sense of humor of some of our most adrift comedians. Either way, if Geno likes her, welcome aboard!

 

[DaBball]

I had a really good one, but didn't have a good opportunaty to post it...

I'm reeling better already.

[MilfordHusky]

On net, should we stop the fish puns?

What fish puns? I was serious.

 

[bantamlaker]

Enough ! You should all go fishin’ In the dark

 

[meyers7]

Back to the real world.... I am going to be in CT from CA the week before First Night, to attend my Bristol Eastern HS 50th Reunion. We haven't made our flight plans yet.

So, what is the chance of getting tickets to First Night? My wife and I would love to have the opportunity to see Storrs and the new teams... Are tickets pretty much tied up with mens' and womens' teams season ticket holders? How about secondary market?

PS, I see that there is another CTtoSD type ID, apologies to the other guy.
