I didn't realize that I would conjure up a discussion of the geography of France (or the blobfish). It's just that a search of "Rolling Cooking" revealed two websites of relevance, both on Rolling Road in Springfield, but one of which has the domain name of www.rollingcookingbayonne.com. I cannot otherwise find a Rolling Cooking in Bayonne.... BUT....you haven't lived a full life until you hear Mister No Time by "My Blobfish." And yes, they have played in Bayonne.

The blobfish is *not* an ugly creature; in its native habitat, it's actually a formidable-looking specimen - it is we who have made it "ugly" by taking it away from its high-pressure home, and allowing its gelatinous body to swell up and expand into the "blob" that we call it - it you took ourselves, and put us in a helium environment, we, too, would look like what the police call a "floater" - in other words, we'd be pretty damned ugly. I've always been fascinated by deep-sea marine life, wondering how it can possibly survive, even thrive, at such extreme levels of pressure, cold, and darkness - witness the glorious ventworm which is our unofficial mascot. *Why* is it our unofficial mascot? I have no idea. Now, the Tasmanian Devil, that is *ugly*, both in cartoons: and in real life. Fierce little bugger, this one is: And if you think it's cute, try petting it.
