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.

"DON'T PANIC."

one of us, one of us...

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.

So did House last night have anybody else saying something like House loooooves Dr. Wilson, oh yes he does! in sing-song? Or was that just me?

Mm. House. Hisundemonstrativeloveissopure.

And Firefly.

His parents will do that. They were the one who gave me the DVD set as a present, they know what's good.

She's as evil as a tomato.

Am not. If I were, I'd have to either hate myself, each and every thing about myself, which is bound to lead to deep personal problems and lots of existential angst, or, well, cook myself until I like me again, and how does one do that, anyway? Which vegetable is naughty? I'll have to settle for that, spelled rightly or not.

[Edit:

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

Exactly! I didn't do it yet, though. Maybe I should ask for some bribe in order to wait until, you know, he's older than 3 months?]

[Another edit: on some weekend, a friend had her less-than-a-year old baby in her lap, and she let her taste a bit of the (chocolate) ice-cream that was for dessert. The poor thing didn't want to eat anything else from her own lunch after that, she couldn't believe there was no more of the really good stuff for her.]

Encyclopedia says that "larger shrimp are often sold as prawns" -- which was my understanding, and that prawns are certain crustaceans of the suborder shrimp. So every prawn is a shrimp, by their estimation, but not just any shrimp can be a prawn.

Now she's asking for bribes! Perhaps the tomato is less evil?

You're ignoring the biggest question, which is: Can a prawn be on the barbie?

Well, Mattel did say she's broken up with Ken, but it seems sort of gross to me, tommy.

Now she's asking for bribes!

Yeah, like the right to sniff him at least once a week, stuff like that.

You can stealth sniff a baby, Nilly. Don't give into the extortionist!

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

Well I missed the set up, and they just showed a few seconds of the actual insert, and then they cut to the guy saying that it didn't hurt as much as he thought it would. But the rest of the bit of the show was duscussing piercing and tatooing the penis.

I can't Google about metal rod insertion, because I'm at work.

ETA: I was apparently watching a doc called "The Naked Penis." Tonight's offering is "The Naked Vagina." Ah, the Women's Network.
