I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

What tastes more like a shrimp than a prawn, and vice versa? To you, do they taste more different than veal and tender beef?

I've not had veal, so I can't make that distinction. It's like.... Hmm. To continue with the meat analogy, I'd say it's like comparing bison and your standard beef flank steak. You know how bison has a chewier feel to it and a deeper taste? That's how prawns taste to me. Shrimp taste of salt spray and slide off your palate quickly. Prawns hang around and cozy up to the wine.

Shrimp are the ultimate party hors d'oeuvre. Prawns are a good meal.

Art Crawl!!!

I so hated that Freddy and Kendra won. Does anyone know if Kris and Jon were right behind them -- or was there more time?

Also, I was really noticing last night what an old man Freddy is. (In his manner - I don't know what his actual age is.)

Sorry, didn't realize we were still whitefonting TAR!

I always suspected that Nilly was a nefarious baby-cuddler.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yep, nothing more evil than spending time with babies...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yes, it was apparently part of getting it pierced or something.

So it wasn't just something inserted into the urethra?

(Why am I asking for more information on this?)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I can't even talk about TAR, I fast forwarded through the end because I couldn't deal with F&K talking and WTF with Hayden proposing. crazy disfunctional.

Oh, also -- rock shrimp (the tiny ones) *do* taste different from the larger dudes -- they taste like lobster. Yum.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hmm. I'm not denying that shrimp and prawns have flavour variety -- just that they seemed so obviously similar to me, I can't imagine using them as an example of distinct tastes in similar shapes. I've had cuts of beef that tasted more distinct than things labelled prawns from things labelled shrimp (in similar dishes, naturally).

So it wasn't just something inserted into the urethra?

Also, were there cats involved?

Swouncing

Naughty! I meant "naughty" and thought I should check how to spell it and then a tomato made me write "evil" (because that's what the tomato is, see, even if it's so yesterday's Natter).

I was naughty. I went to play instead of work, and the baby will grow up with a bad influence and there's nothing his parents can do to stop it. Already he started playing with his tongue and sticking it out at me, and I imitated him and he imitated me back again and his mom said it would take days for him now to de-learn it. I'm the bad-influence friend. Next thing they'd know, I'll introduce him to chocolate.

I can't even.

And Firefly.
