I, for one, am always more empowered when photographed naked. It's a thing.
I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I haven't been photographed naked lately. Perhaps that's why I am sometimes ineffective.

my omakase no-no list is now chicken eggs, tentacled beasts of the sea, and any liver
See, I love chicken eggs. Not so much hardboiled (or deviled - yechh) but scrambled, poached, over easy, sunny side up, in omlettes, in quiche, in cheese souffle - all of teh yum. And I don't mind calamari, though I don't seek it out. I didn't realize monkfish was tentacled, though. I just thought it was fugly. Somehow missed the liver next to the monkfish.
Weirdest thing I enjoyed was escargot, and though I guess almost anything with that much butter and garlic would taste good, I was surprised the texture didn't gross me out.
Weirdest vegatable I like is fiddleheads, but they have to be prepared right or they are Nasty.

I have no problem with the bits of monkfish that aren't its liver.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Hobby rocketry involves everything from those little A, B and C - motored rockets many of us played with as a kid up through O-powered behemoths. Every time you go up a letter, the maximum power doubles.
I thought you'd want to see the onboard video from Peter Clay's rocket, the U.S.S. Bakula.
When the rocket breaks the sound barrier, look at how the fins twist and bend! The fins are made of "G-10," an incredibly rigid fiberglass material. The fins were strengthened with extra fiber glass!
The video's great, and we rocket scientists are going to learn a lot from it. I thought your readers might want to see this video that's making the rounds.
The video's wild - all of a sudden the fins start twisting like they're made of rubber....

Yeah, after your second post about it I realized I'd missed the "liver" next to the "monkfish".

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

Seafood is delicious! Honestly!
I'm having sushi for lunch, but I didn't realize it was made with brown rice when I picked up the box. It's not bad, I guess. It all feels very healthy.

More TJ's frozen food for me today (shrimp fried rice, IIRC). I totally forgot that it wasn't enough food yesterday. Oh, well. Maybe they'll have lemon bars in the caf today.

I like the brown rice sushi they have at Whole Foods. I'm not a sushi aficiando (OMG, that is so spelled wrong) so it worked for me.

HEY.
I'll eat shrimp. And some kinds of bland white fish. Smoked salmon is ok in small doses, and I'm ok with tuna. You can take the rest far far away from me. I don't like the taste, I don't like the texture and if it is more than a millisecond off fresh, the smell makes me urky.
