I'MMA LET YOU FINISH

Heh


God hates shrimp


GravatarDear god those look good, even if it is 9am here.


GravatarBingo!!


GravatarI'm jealous


GravatarPr0ns!


GravatarBon appetit, Atrios.


GravatarChimpy sez nothing happens in August.


GravatarAtrios' futureblogging reveals that the awful enviromental policies of today will result in lobsters shrinking down to teeny tiny sizes.


Gravatarewww bugs


GravatarGambas a la parrilla.

Yum.


GravatarI think Atrios is enjoying himself!


GravatarMMMMMM, they look luscious.

But no thanks, I just had pancakes.

(WTF is going on in NYC?)


GravatarThose look tasty!


GravatarHere's some more photos from my trip:

I especially like the first one. Some people have been complaining that if this were made legal (it is)then everybody would be putting signs everywhere (which is what advertisers already do). My reply has always been, well, then we'd know what everybody felt, instead of having a few corporate media giants tell us what everybody thinks.

Actually, if freewayblogging/public signposting were legal (they are), I'm beginning to think it'd still just be me and about five other people who did it.


GravatarThey gots eyes.


GravatarThere sure as hell had better be some garlic butter somewher for those.

And bread.

'sokay, you just rip their little heads right off.

Yum.


GravatarShrimp genocide - openly recorded and praised! You damned hippies.


GravatarAtrios NEVER food-blogs!


GravatarWell I'm glad someone got my joke.


GravatarAnd by the count, he's already eaten two of our oppressed brethren.


GravatarAtrios NEVER food-blogs!

"Jim never drinks coffee at home!"


GravatarYes, but not for breakfast, thanks.


GravatarFreeway Blogger, I think you are a Murkin hero. Admittedly I am a coward and am convinced if I went around putting signs up where I live I would be ridden out of town on a rail, another way of describing being mobbed by the good old boys.


GravatarPr0ns!

GravatarQuirky Smile, if you're still here, that was a great link you gave last thread on the spasming global markets.

DON'T MOCK BIOFUELS MOTHERFUCKER!


GravatarI could be coaxed into eating Pr0n cocktail, at breakfast.


GravatarLast time I saw a lobster threatened by a restaurant's boiling water I set it free. I taped a dollar to its back and put it on a bus to New Jersey.

GravatarYou brat!! That is so unfair!

(Although we did have garlic shrimp for dinner last night, they lost their heads and didn't taste like these do.)


GravatarEveryone must acknowledge the healthy bipartisan unity shown by the lemon and the shrimp - working together to succeed in Ira... uhhm... on the plate.


GravatarI'm now deadly allergic to shellfish. Twas once my fav order-out dinner. It's probably a good thing, though, because now that I scuba with these critters, it's tough to eat them once you let several cleaner shrimp scramble over your hand tidying up your cuticles..


Gravatar(WTF is going on in NYC?)

I'm not turning on the news.


GravatarCrustaceans, Insects of the Sea!


GravatarSo much yummier when cooked heads on!


GravatarRock Lobstaaaah!!!


Gravatarlemon and the shrimp

Bathed in garlic, no doubt.


Gravatarit's tough to eat them once you let several cleaner shrimp scramble over your hand tidying up your cuticles..

I had a girlfriend like that once.


GravatarNon-kosher thread!

That'll work. Denatured, crosslinked chicken embyro proteins go with damn near everything for breakfast.


GravatarThis will bring a tear to your eye.

Gravatarnoblejoanie, I am taking the Padi AOWD course next week!


GravatarMy shrimp were guillotined before reaching my grocery store.


GravatarI'm now deadly allergic to shellfish.
noblejoanie


My mom developed this allergy late in life. She never liked seafood much, anyway, with a couple of exceptions, so I thought she just used "being allergic" as an excuse to get out of eating it.

Until one Christmas my sister in law made some stuffed mushrooms with crabmeat in them that my mother ate without realizing it. She got very, very sick. Double-blind study!


Gravatarso canada, denmark and russia having a little campfire up in teh arctic, eh?

it is all about teh o-hoi-oil

an al qaeda threat....ooohh did teh nsa pick it up from their illegal spying?  i TOTALLY doubt it....nope - it's based on chatter on web sites - what a FUCKING JOKE!

August 11, 2007
Iowa, New Hampshire Forging a Compromise?

"The first possible deal has emerged to solve the calendar crisis looming over the 2008 nomination process," reports Fox News.

"With South Carolina Republicans already moving their primary to January 19th, Fox News has learned that officials in Iowa and New Hampshire in both parties and both state governments have begun discussing the possibility of Iowa’s caucus occurring Saturday, January 5th, and New Hampshire’s primary occurring Saturday, Jan 12th -- in order to accommodate state laws that require Iowa to go first, and a week long buffer for New Hampshire before any similar election."


GravatarBut would you suck they heads? /crawdaddy

GravatarI'm now deadly allergic to shellfish. Twas once my fav order-out dinner.

I'm afraid I've become allergic to them too, but not in a deadly way (thank goodness). I think they cause me to have fairly severe eczema outbreaks.

Which is really unfortunate, considering this region is seafood central.


GravatarI had a girlfriend like that once.

You dated a manicurist?


GravatarThe only thing going on in NYC is the NYPD overreacting.
As usual.


GravatarI wish I could be there to watch your face the first time you see the reef via scuba, Marcellina!


GravatarThe most noteworthy about "dirty bomb" stories is no one has any idea what they're talking about.

Here's one - Would a 53' tractor trailer full of First Alert smoke detectors containing radioactive Americium 241 blown to bits in Manhatten constitute a 'dirty bomb'?

GravatarI'm not turning on the news.

Oh, me too, either. I'll settle for second-hand reports. I have no interest in seeing pretty young things get hysterical about

TERRRRRRRORRRRRRRRR!


GravatarYes, but not for breakfast, thanks.

That's OK. There'll just be more for the rest of us.

We'll be right over, Atrios.

GravatarArthur's eating peanuts. It's a lot like those lions saying hello. Or not.

GravatarYou dated a manicurist?

I nailed her.


GravatarOh, advanced open water, Marcellina. Should have read that more closely!


GravatarI'm not turning on the news

Gravatarnoblejoanie, I have my OWD and have seen some pretty nice Red Sea reefs. This course will be in some cold mountain lakes, and, they tell me, in a river (for the drift dive.)


Gravatarso, what's the deal with duncan... and, where the fokizi?

I think it takes a strong will to not run away from a lion's embrace, even if she SEEMS excited to see you.


GravatarEveryone Must Agree That Shrimp Are Delicious or the Terrorist have Won.


GravatarWht is the plot they are hatching that makes the republicans move their primaries up so much? What do they hope to get away with now?


Gravatarfull of First Alert smoke detectors containing radioactive Americium 241 blown to bits in Manhatten constitute a 'dirty bomb'?

lol, how about a warehouse full of radium alarm clocks from back in da day?

let me get this straight....some websites have posted, for everyone to see anonymously about some sort of threat toward NYC, and NYC freaks out and spends probably close to 1 million dollars in OT and extra cops, etc....

nope teh terrists haven't affected the lives of ignorant scared moron americans, nope.....BOOOO!


GravatarChurch choir rehearsal, right before the Good Friday service; and the end of which, one of the volunteers said, "We're gonna nail that one!"

The choir loft was always a fun place.


GravatarBob Murray: It's all about me

That take-down of Bob in the NYT was delicious!


GravatarUsually one of my faves, especially in the Chinese style with crispy salt&pepper coating, but somehow not so appetizing at 7:30 in the morning....


GravatarWht is the plot they are hatching that makes the republicans move their primaries up so much?

being 1st means you win?  i dunno how the slackjawed get inspired


GravatarI think it takes a strong will to not run away from a lion's embrace, even if she SEEMS excited to see you.

Well, it's probably better than having your grandmother looming on the horizon with a wet kiss {{{{{{{{{{shudder}}}}}}}}}


GravatarSpeaking of crustaceans, The President of France will have lunch with the President today.

They're in Maine, but they're going to have hamburgers.


Gravatari dunno how the slackjawed get inspired

Thomas Kinkade paintings?


GravatarWht is the plot they are hatching that makes the republicans move their primaries up so much? What do they hope to get away with now?

There was some guy from The Nation on the radio the other day saying that if he wanted to take over the country the best way he could think of was to make the election process as confusing as he could to it's citizens.


GravatarWht is the plot they are hatching that makes the republicans move their primaries up so much? What do they hope to get away with now?


I don't know, and I'm sure it's nefarious, but alas it isn't just Goopsters who are in a race to be first. The whole thing is just a chaotic mess.

Perhaps Atrios can chime in between bites of shrimp to address the collective action problem issue here. That's an econ kind of thing.

GravatarSpeaking of food, did y'all see this New Yorker piece about olive oil fraud? Slippery Business
The trade in adulterated olive oil.


In February, 2005, the N.A.S. Carabinieri broke up a criminal ring operating in several regions of Italy, and confiscated a hundred thousand litres of fake olive oil, with a street value of six million euros (about eight million dollars). The ring, which allegedly sold its products in northern Italy and in Germany, is accused of coloring low-grade soy oil and canola oil with industrial chlorophyll, flavoring it with beta-carotene, and packaging it as extra-virgin olive oil in tins and bottles emblazoned with pictures of Italian flags or Mt. Vesuvius, and with folksy names of imaginary producers—the Farmhouse, the Ancient Millstones.

Is nothing sacred?


Gravatarha, crawdads. served on ut napkins.


GravatarWhat is the plot they are hatching that makes the republicans move their primaries up so much? What do they hope to get away with now?

They're hoping we'll be less upset when they declare martial law and cancel the election.


GravatarMy olive oil is from Greece, so I guess it's safe.


GravatarI nailed her.

Were you hammered?


GravatarMaybe the Republicans want to pick their frontrunner so Bush can appoint him VP, letting Cheney slip into the darkness. Then, a ginned up terror attack, martial law imposed, elections cancelled, Bush steps aside as a compromise...

Do I have a future writing fiction?


Gravatarplantsman--can I spike that coffee you're drinking?


GravatarDo I have a future writing fiction?
noblejoanie


No -- no one would buy Bush stepping aside for any reason :>)


GravatarWell, what makes sense to me is that they know they're in a Hail Mary situation, so they want to solidify the race as early as possible to maximize the possibility that some kind miracle play can happen. They are hoping against hope that Barack Obama is secretly doing teh gay with some hollywood stud, or that Hillary actually owns a fetid sweatshop somewhere. Or that there will be another terra attack and everybody will remember that Democrats are pussies.


GravatarNo doubt there will be "Reports that terrorists may be targeting polling stations..."


GravatarOH JOY AND RAPTURE OF IRAQ PROGRESS:

Headline at MSNBC:

Bombing kills governor, police chief of Iraq’s southern Qadisiya province


GravatarI nailed her.

Were you hammered?


She was a wrench.


Gravatar90% of eligible voters in Sierra Leone have registered.

Then again, 70% unemployment there.


GravatarCoffee all over, but a spike is always appreciated!


Gravatardo you suck the eyes out first?


GravatarNo doubt there will be "Reports that terrorists may be targeting polling stations..."

I don't care if Osama himself is lying in wait at the polling place, I'm voting.


GravatarNot necessarily Marcellina.
In February, 2006, federal marshals seized about sixty-one thousand litres of what was supposedly extra-virgin olive oil and twenty-six thousand litres of a lower-grade olive oil from a New Jersey warehouse. Some of the oil, which consisted almost entirely of soybean oil, was destined for a company called Krinos Foods, a member of the North American Olive Oil Association. Krinos blamed the fraud on its supplier, DMK Global Marketing, which in turn blamed the Italian bottlers from whom it had bought the oil. The marshals destroyed the oil, but no criminal charges were brought against Krinos or any other companies. “My experience over a period of some fifty years suggests that we can always expect adulteration and mislabelling of olive-oil products in the absence of surveillance by official sources,” David Firestone, an F.D.A. chemist who was the agency’s olive-oil specialist from the mid-sixties to 1999, told me.


GravatarWow.

Nobody suffers more....

GravatarOr that there will be another terra attack and everybody will remember that Democrats are pussies.
blerb


Up until the recess, we've had almost daily reminders of the Dems' ineptitude. Absent the onset of mass dementia, I doubt many of will forget.


GravatarI never heard of "Southern Quesadilla Province" before!


GravatarDamn NetZero with damns. Randomly dropped, and over 20 mins. to get back.

an al qaeda threat....ooohh did teh nsa pick it up from their illegal spying? i TOTALLY doubt it....nope - it's based on chatter on web sites - what a FUCKING JOKE!

Funny factoid - the origin webiste seems to be an Israeli one.

And the upcoming war with Iran marches on! Let's double down our bets with human lives - if you just play long enough, sooner or later you just GOTTA win it all back!

GravatarShe was a wrench.

You pliered her with drinks, didn't you, you awlful man.


GravatarMy olive oil is from Greece, so I guess it's safe.
Marcellina, Yurp denizen


Mine is from Sacaton.


GravatarWhere are the navajas and chipirones?


GravatarYou pliered her with drinks, didn't you, you awlful man.

Screwdrivers actually.


GravatarScrewdrivers actually.

Hee hee!


Gravatarblerb, the longer the nominee is out there, the more time they have to throw dirt in hopes that something sticks.


GravatarI have Lebanese olive oil, I hope it's real.


GravatarMiller: A lot o' people don't realize what's really going on. They view life as a bunch o' unconnected incidents 'n things. They don't realize that there's this, like, lattice o' coincidence that lays on top o' everything. Give you an example; show you what I mean: suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.


Gravatarwhere u, atrios?
Italy or French Reviera?


GravatarMORE FACES!


GravatarItaly or French Reviera?

Given that gamba means prawn in Spanish, he's in Spain.
