Oh, also -- rock shrimp (the tiny ones) *do* taste different from the larger dudes -- they taste like lobster. Yum.
Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

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?

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.

What is even happening?
Is there a literal difference between prawns and what is (here, at least) commonly called "jumbo shrimp"? I've never even seen the word used on menus, here. I am mostly familiar with the word, as used by my Aussie friends, and I always thought they were just using a synonym for shrimp.
There isn't much seafood unavailable to us--here, which is why I'm being so pedantic about this. I'm not used.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Once you introduce them to chocolate, there's no turning back.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yes, it's a short, slippery slope from tongue-sticking to chocolate to trying to take over the world (with evil naughty cuteness).

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Most of what are sold as prawns in the US are just really big shrimp, since the FDA doesn't care enough to make seafood retailers label them properly. But biologically speaking, they're different critters.

I can't believe nobody saw me on TV last night! I was sitting right behind the cast during the party, and so every time CBS did a "Live, with the winners, after the show!" promo, I was in the shot.
