      I didn't know what to bring, so I brought Leola root. It's made out of people!

      You’ll have to pretend that’s Neelix because I don’t know how to Photoshop a GIF.

          Fantastic. lol

          Video editing is not something I’m equipped with the tools or skills to do, so I appreciate it all the more when other people can.

          The best I can do is add a chyron and splice in some B-roll lol.

            The fair, I did this in 2 minutes on my phone. Video editing isn’t too difficult once you have some knowledge and a giant stockpile of footage.

              Yeah, the tools are where I lack knowledge. Mostly just ignorance on my part for having not kept up to date. That, and finding good ones that work well on Linux.

              The last time I reallydid any kind of video editing was in college when I was minoring in broadcast journalism. When I think of editing a video, my mind immediately goes to firing up Final Cut Pro or popping my S-VHS tape in the linear video editing machine.

              Ok, typing S-VHS just now made me feel like I’m a million years old 😆

                I do all my edits on Linux. I really recommend Shotcut and Kdenlive. If you are lucky, Davinci Resolve compile and run for you (it won’t for me because it is super picky about hardware).

        …i mean, you can piano tuna, but the tuna probably won’t appreciate it unless it’s a former-game-show-tycoon-politician…

    Apparently, it is an Americanism that refers to the processed tuna flakes in tinned containers.

    We say it that way to clearly distinguish them from chicken fish and tuna birds, duh.

    Ha! That’s what I call my pet chicken when she’s being sassy.

    Which, being a chicken bird means 25/8

    That’s not a typo, she’s just extra

      Lol. I guess the term ‘chicken bird’ just didn’t cross the pond.

        It’s “tuna fish”. Most everywhere else it’s just “tuna”, like a “tuna sandwich.” 😉

    Why don’t we just call it “bombay” instead of “bombay duck”? It’s obviously a duck.

    that’s easy.

    A tuna is a fish, while tuna fish is a dish.

    Prickly pear cactus are called tuna (maybe just in Spanish?) — I wouldn’t want to confuse tuna fish with tuna fruit…

    Also, I think tuna fish refers to certain preparation, e.g., as used in a tuna fish sandwich. This is in contrast to sushi (“tuna roll”) or a tuna steak, which typically don’t have the “fish” qualifier.
