I've never liked canned tuna so I've never tried tuna steaks when other fish was available. And yes, I love swordfish. Of all the fish I've tried, tuna is the only one I don't like.

You should try a tuna steak sometime, it's nothing like the canned stuff.

that was probably dolphin.  the tuna that goes into the cans is a diffent variety of tuna than the tuna you find in the fish section of a grocery store.

Ah. But then it's been at least 25 years since I've eaten any "tuna." Was it Flipper way back then, too?

 This is the dolphin you eat, also called mahi mahi....not the flipper variety.

I do this - but at the grocery store. I like my food items to be non-fondled by the general public. I'm a little like the people checking out eggs and milk in "Clerks". (I do the same with clothing...)
 
 I'm a lot like George from "Seinfeld" when choosing my bathroom stalls.     (I like my space!)
 
 When using public stalls,  if my sunglasses are hung on my shirt, so they don't fall off, I put them back on when I wee. I feel really vulnerable telling you guys that one...but really, the pocket doesn't work either and nobody wants a stye! (I also move my office badge)  :eek:

 I don't do it anymore, but I used to spell out words and sentences in my head constantly. For sentences, I'd spell things out and group letters into units of 3, adding spacing and/or punctuation in an attempt to make clean multiples of 3. For words, I'd spell them out in multiple possible patterns; e.g. for a word with 7 letters, I'd do 2+3+2, 2+2+3, 3+2+2+, 3+1+3, 1+3+3, 3+3+3, skipping larger numbers like 4 and 5 which could easily be broken into smaller, more equally weighted units. I'd have to go through the patterns 7 times before I could stop thinking about it. Maybe this crosses the line from "weird shit" to "obsessive compulsive shit," but at least I was able to quit.

I don't think you're weird, I think you are really smart! Not sure how similar this is but I do prefer even numbers vs. odd in most circumstances.

 Oh, yes, now that's just being respectful.    As a kid I did this with various foods - leave a good bite to finish off with - pastries/pop tarts, cake, cereal.

 So, gentlemen, do your lover a favor and wash before you pee.

I'll buy into washing your hands before, but you do also wash after?
 
 I remember many, many years ago (1982) in Baltimore Harbour in Phillips Crab house. I was in the Navy and the ship was moored right in the inner harbour so the bar was full of Brit Navy boys, much to the enjoyment of the local women and chagrin of the local men. I went for a pee and while in there one of the lads off the ship took a leak then just started chatting. This dufus doodles made the comment, "In America boys are taught to wash their hands after going to the bathroom", I chipped in, "In England boys are taught not to piss on their hands" It just wasn't his night. Happy times, happy, happy times!

I would absolutely change my mind just to see what effect it has on you. [/b]

Ahh, see! There is always someone in the group who has to test me at the table.
 
 Smackie, you are totally that person.

I wish I were more mature, but I'm just not.
 
 We have a friend who is lactose intolerant, and everytime we're out with her, in order to get over my frustrations of her 30 minute ordering process, I order extra cheese on everything I ordered and always get a milkshake.
