Probably used in the most overrated clam chowder anywhere in the world ... Mo's.

As God as my witness, I thought whales could fly.

Mo's used to be great - back BEFORE Hollywood showed up to shoot Sometimes a Great Noodle (based on the Ken Kesey novel).

After that, he was swamped. A friend told me that he even saw Mo in the grocery store buying clams.

Mo expanded to the other side of the street (overlooking the bay), and then to create several other places along the coast. He made a lot of $$ maybe enough to make up for the loss of his tribal lands.

How do they dispose of dead whales now?

someone had to do it.
