Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

No, seriously. I do.

But do they listen? Not a one.

I think it's time for another Maine Lobster Game link.

Fishing in a bar or restaurant is entertaining and challenging. For $2.00 a cast customers can catch their own lobster dinner. Taking vending to a whole new level. If you own your own bar or expanding a vending zone, this is the ultimate vending machine for you.

But do they listen? No. No wonder they're traif.

I'm going to start making "Zoltan!" hands at them and see if that does any better.

What is even happening?

I've done that!
Well, that's because you're right thinking.
And with dead ones too! And my brother wore the antennae/eyeball/head part tucked into his necklace long enough to get a picture.
Perhaps I was too hasty.

Once they're dead, I'm all about the eating of them.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Why more people don't see this is beyond me.

Unfortunately I get a mild reaction to shrimp, so lobster is probably off the menu as well -- but I haven't bothered to try any, since what's the point without butter, anyway?

Once it comes to eating, I'm not interested anymore. I don't like lobster.

Pasta. Stir-fry w/o any meat. Pad thai w/o any meat. PB&J sandwich.

Cool. If a starving vegan showed up at my doorstep tonight, I have PB&J.

dw, what's poke salad?

It's a dish derived from pokeweed, once commonly eaten by the very poor in Deep South. Pokeweed is, well, a weed, and it's common enough that it doesn't have be cultivated, only gathered. Problem is that pokeweed is poisonous in raw form, and the toxin is pretty persistent in the leaves. The prevailing wisdom for years was that if you boiled the leaves, drained the water, added fresh water, reboiled, and drained, the poison would be extracted from the poke salad. However, health experts did some studies and found that twice-boiled still has a significant toxin load and should not be eaten. Thus, it is no longer a common food in the South.

Poke salad is now mainly remembered in "Poke Salad Annie," which Elvis covered.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I think you're projecting -- that's what beer does to live people, much less so with dead chickens.

She'd best not try the cola version of the recipe in China though.

Grilled lobster can be quite good with non-buttery sauces. But probably not so good as to be worth an allergic reaction if you have them to other shellfish.
