Sean said...: Looks a little grumpy Martina... is that because of you?; 15 September, 2009 06:30
Martina said...: Julie, I had to google - this was never aired in Germany, sounds fun.

kobico, Sean

I suppose it wondered if I would be a good catch or to big a fish ... ;-); 15 September, 2009 12:28

Sean said...: Martina... I dont think you need worry. I imagine people tasted much better in those days. Nowadays with all the preservatives, and stress I imagine we would be pretty tough... unless you are one of those natural, vegetarians which survive on bio foods and cabbage leaves.... are you?; 15 September, 2009 17:32
jelb said...: Bonjour,
A nice shot..beautiful greyscale..bravo!; 15 September, 2009 18:22
Martina said...: Sean, I am no rabbit! The only way I eat cabbage leaves is in kimchi.

But yes, I do not eat meat, but I am sure I have enough toxins in my blood that any hungry man-eating bird would sneer at me ... but wait ... all the wasps and mosquitoes and other flying beasts love me ...; 15 September, 2009 20:03
Sean said...: Ahaaaaa... so you are one of "those" :::)))) Want another quote to work on?; 15 September, 2009 20:17
Martina said...: Sean, sure - am lacking inspiration at the moment anyway - Quicksilver is not easy regarding quotes.; 15 September, 2009 21:13
Sean said...: Ok, I mailed it to you. It is not a book, sorry! Movie!; 15 September, 2009 22:01
Martina said...: Sean, of course it's a book! pfft. Since I only own the German translation I will take you as reference (you know how neurotic I can be with these things, ;-)); 15 September, 2009 22:17
Unknown said...: I would bet humans taste better when they are younger, before the meat toughens up and they take in all those toxins. Not sure how picky birds are about their food, though ...; 16 September, 2009 10:31
Martina said...: kobico, I think at last we would make a tasty meal for vultures ....; 16 September, 2009 12:13
