I've been told that our Pacific Ocean oysters are inferior and I should try East Coast oysters.
I think they're just different, honestly. But man, good Wellfleets taste just like the ocean. In a good way.
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Bell peppers are pretty much one step up from cucumbers from me--just water holders, with a pleasant texture.

Huh. I feel exactly the opposite. Pacific are smaller and more flavorful. East Coast are bigger and creamier.
I prefer the smaller which are perfectly oceanic in flavor. Kumamotos are the smallest and firmest ones I've eaten. Best flavor too.

Sean, Phil specified that only eight legs are going to be elimination. Which is par for the course.
Oh, and I agree that Team Slacker isn't vicious enough a nickname, just because they are so into coasting their way through life. Just, ick. I thought of a better one for Dave and Lori, though--Team Geek Love! They're so cute together.

That's a good one! I do think that Team Slacker had a point about READING the clues and doing the tasks as fast as you can --> both are important points. I was kind of hoping that we'd have an elimination at the end of the first hour and another at the end of the second. Oh well. Isn't if funny that the first pit stop is a soccer stadium ?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Interesting thread title. What's the whale reference again?

Pacific are smaller and more flavorful. East Coast are bigger and creamier.
That's not my impression or experience at all. Hmm.

You'd better come out here on an oyster eating junket then, just to be sure.
In fairness, the Pacific oysters I eat (almost all from Washington State) have to be fresher than anything I get out here from the East coast.

Also...
KUMAMOTO OYSTERS From their origin in natural beds near the Japanese city after which they are named, Kumamoto oysters have now been successfully grown in the Pacific Coast tidelands of the U.S. Our own hatchery, the world's largest, provides a continuous supply of young oysters to resupply our exclusive growing beds.
Kumamoto oysters have a sweeter, more delicate taste when compared to other oysters. An excellent year round oyster, they remain much firmer and meatier in the warmer months than other species. Their deep shell provides an ideal sized oyster to serve on the half shell.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
