That's  terrible. I only support American tapeworms.

You can tell the tapeworms are Japanese because they have an epicanthic fold around their eyes.

Trump will put a 35% tariff on the tapeworm.

If they tax the tapeworm by the foot, it will be expensive. given they can reach 30 feet in length.

Good PSA - freeze the fish and voila, the worm is dead.....

Great way to lose weight.  I'm going to increase my raw American salmon consumption.

Those damn Japanese tapeworms are taking away jobs from American tapeworms.

Tapeworms are my diet plan.  No need for negativity.

I should have held this until tomorrow night. Alcohol would really get it going.

Just checking back in to see if this thread took a radical downturn. Y'all did not disappoint.

May have to start a tapeworm thread.  Their impact globally is under appreciated.

GregW

I had no idea how fascinating tapeworms could be.

Funny that you think there's not a bunch of weekday drunks on here.

I bet they would be tasty in a stir fry.

Tapeworm and anus in a stir fry or pasta.....nothing better.  Scottie can confirm.

At what point would a anus become so small that it would lose it's flavor?

I'm no expert, but I can assure you Scottie doesn't deal with small ani.

GregW

Where is an anus expert when you need one?

Even the lowest tapeworm deserves a fulfilling life.
