the links on the left for the best of a quarter century of FPD. Satellite FPD Held in Rob Schisla, long-time FPD
supporter and celebrator, woke up to his second FPD in a row in southern California this morning, sadly separated from
the beloved fish-product goodies that he knew would be awaiting those who
were lucky enough to be attending the main FPD celebration back in
Kingsport. But lo and behold, when he walked into the Fluor offices in From the Mailbag, December 2008: From
From From John Calvert: “May
you all have an enjoyable and stinky day. From Steve Janulis: “Just
a few thoughts on fare for FPD this year. I'm not saying I want to
venture into any truly "gross" waters this year, but I think we
need a bit of a return to some of the "tinned" tastings. At
least we should Chris Garrett: “Where can

At the bottom of the sea?” FPD almost didn’t happen in 2007, as a number of founders
floundered with trips far away. However, Steve Miller is the “Man Who Saved FPD 2007” as he took
the bait. See all the 2007 Pictures.

send your jokes, pictures, and comments! FPD Taiwan Style As FPD draws near, several confirmed Fish Product
lovers are in Taiwan, but will be back in plenty of time for the
festivities. Taiwan is a veritable Fish Product heaven. We've had
squid, shark fin, scallops, varieties of shrimp and prawns, jellyfish, and of
course ordinary fish, the kind with fins. And that's all in one meal, with
their 15-course meals here. Yum, yum. We all look forward to our
triumphant return with oceanic treats of various sorts that are able to swim
through customs. We're going to walk up to the "Something to
declare" line and declare "it's only 2 days to FPD!" -- ___________________ Christmas Engineering Christmas Engineering is a tradition at my house.
One Christmas several years ago I put a wreath on the front of my
car. Wanting to add a touch of Christmas Engineering, I cut a
strand of lights down to a number of bulbs suitable for 12V DC and put lights
on my wreath that lit up while I was driving. One morning it snowed, and
I spun my car around in the ditch on the way to work, getting mud all over
the front of the car and my wreath. When I got to work, my Best Friend said
it looked like I crashed right through somebody's yard into the front door. -- Calvert Update To all, Garrett Request All
I want for Christmas is an FPD pen or more if you’ve got them to give…the one
I got last year is running out of ink.
