As many of us know, Giant Bomb will be moving into a shiny new place full of magic and wonder where they will create...magic and...wonder?  Anyways, longtime Bombcast listeners also know that ex-GRIN employees happened to bring by a Swedish treat for the guys.  This treat is known as the "Fish Can".  It has been ever expanding since its arrival at the GB offices, and well...I think it's time to open that fucker up!!! 
 
Consider this the official petition to have Giant Bomb open the can on their last day in the Sausalito offices.  Hell, make it a Whiskey Media event!!! 
 
Open it outside, though. 
 

WHO'S WITH ME?!  LET'S MAKE THIS HAPPEN!!!

If they're going to open it, the intern should open it and eat it on video.

My petition is on the internet?  I thought we had already made the Giant Bomb forums a self-contained entity outside of the interwebs.  =  / 
 
@rjayb89: As in, like, MattBodega?  Hrmm...  I think I would be more interested in Ryan and Jeff making it their last Sausalito taste test...and do it on video!

Oh dear God, I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.  Still, though... maybe a trip to a gun range to blow it open from a safe distance to avoid any of the inevitable nuclear fumes?

While that actually is an awesome idea, I'd rather they opened and ate it.

I just saw a picture of that thing for the first time a few minutes ago. It doesn't look quite as intimidating as I thought it would. But, yes, it just needs to be opened at this point. Unless they love the meta thing that it's like a "bomb" in the Giant Bomb office.

Other then "fish can" what is it actually?  Fish in a can sounds really tasty.  Put that in a bowl, and eat it with crackers and beer!  
 
Also, I don't think GB wants to screw up any kind of safe deposit deal, WM might have in place with the owners.  Don't waste such a tasty awesome treat!  EAT IT!
 
Shit, you could throw it in a bowl, add some parsley, salt, pepper and bread crumbs.  Pound it out into patties and bake it into AWESOME fish sandwiches!

Also, lets please not forget the Kittehs.  Ohhhhh The Om Nom noms that could be had!

I believe they said before that there is a shower in the building, so I fully support opening on camera.

No don't do it.  I'm Swedish so I know whats in that can. (Crazy) people usually eat this outdoors just because it smells so horrid.
 
From wikipedia:
"Species of Haloanaerobium  bacteria are responsible for the in-can ripening. These bacteria produce carbon dioxide and a number of compounds that account for the unique odour: pungent (propionic acid), rotten-egg (hydrogen sulfide), rancid-butter (butyric acid), and vinegary (acetic acid)."

I hope something happens either they open it or feature it prominently in the new office. I hope they open it though, and film it.

This is one internet petition I can get behind! As a compromise, I will accept a video of Vinny hiding it under the ceiling tiles or in an air duct.

Oh god. Setting it up in an air duct with some kind of timer on it that makes it open in a month would be the best/meanest thing ever.

That can is going to shrapnel like a fucking grenade! Even if the cuts don't kill you the infection from the rotten fish will. Why anyone would want to wish that on any human being is just something my mind cannot fathom.  
That being said, open that fucker up and make sure to get multiple camera angles!

Shooting ranges always tend to add a level of I-just-crapped-my-pants-ness to any gathering.  Good times.

Maybe I should've made this a poll.  lol  It seems there are two very solid options here: 

  1. Open the can, someone/everyone partakes in eating it, and we get a video of vomit-inducing madness!
  2. Leave the can in a secret area of the office for it to explode and make its new tenants rather miserable!
 
Personally, the second option lacks the ability for us to see any reactions out of people.  I want reactions.
