Thanks for the heads up on the raising spikes show. I'll be licking my chops watching the show. They sure are tasty little critters LOL.

I'm sure a lot more goes into those stupid little critters than one would think .
Optimal temperatures , food , storage containers , smell lighting and getting the spike colors to change to the desired colors .
It should be interesting .

Thats a great show, thanks for the heads up! I also liked the one where he was catching catfish with his bare hands by letting them bite him and grabbing them!

1TIGGER · « **Reply #6 on:** Nov 26, 2008, 01:06 PM »

Seen that one too . That's just nuts , wait until they grab a snake or a turtle !

I seem to be able to raise them all summer long. Just wait an extra week before taking out the trash! $:-\$ Wish I knew how to keep them.

Was talking with a guy last year and he said the guy he knew who raised them was using dead turkeys from a turkey farm and would run them thru a woodchipper to get the desired slurry. That has to be one of the stinkest jobs anyhow.

it would be nice if he got out on the ice to show all how they are used by ice fisherman.. thats pretty cool, can"t wait forthe show.

Only problem is when ever he does a cold show (like the Greenland Shark or the car through the ice retrieval shows) he whines about how cold it is all show long.................. ................what a wuss!!!!!!!

Looks like an interesting episode, I've always wondered how their raised.

tsmith17 · « **Reply #12 on:** Nov 26, 2008, 03:13 PM »

I love Dirty Jobs. It would be sweet to see Mike and his crew out on some frozen lake freezing their butts off.

1TIGGER · « **Reply #13 on:** Nov 26, 2008, 04:25 PM »

I wouldn't think it would smell too bad with the climate control they would have to use so the maggot don't pupate .

Mike Rowe is one funny man. One of my buddies told me he used to be an opera singer. I couldn't stop laughing when I heard that. that just cracks me up.
