Well I saw it immediately, but I got caught up at work.
Did I miss something? Did somebody post something naughty?
*Blink*
Well, that quieted things down.
It's an old trick, but it just might work.
Trick? Subtle...
Hmmm if your going to lose a boring dead end job...there are worse ways.
The article doesn't make it sound like there was a happy ending...for anybody....of any sort.
Those outfits could certainly be distracting, though.
Oh yeah it's crawfish season!
I see those in our local creeks all the time - never considered eating one.
Boil them with some Zatarains boil mix with some red potatoes, corn, and little smokies and boy oh boy!
By the way, I expanded my expression evaluator tutorial in the Tutorials section.
You can add all the extra goodies you want, but I'm not eating anything that comes from our local creeks.Quote:

That's a good guideline. There are species of crayfish that grow larger in the south (longer growing season). The species in the north live FAR longer, but rarely attain the size of the sourthern crayfish (though it kind of looks like they are eating them small down south, based on that picture). You also have to consider what they are eating. Seems like too much effort for the amount of meat you get anyways, unless you get some huge crayfish.
There's a place out here that does (or did) an annual crayfish feast. I never wanted to try that because I was afraid they were getting the crayfish from the Snake River, which is loaded with agricultural runoff. I don't know that they would be harmful, especially if eaten only once a year, but I wasn't going to try it.
Yeah, they are pretty small right now, but it's at the beginning of the season.
By the way, we do purge the crawfish before they're cooked to get rid of any impurities. Just pour a ton of salt on them while they're alive and they start bubbling.
That won't get rid of the impurities that I'd be worried about. I don't know whether crayfish are fatty, or not, but if they are, then they'd be sequestering fat soluable stuff and that purging won't do anything to that. They eat fairly low on the food chain, so it may not even matter if they are fatty, and they probably aren't fatty anyways, now that I think about it some. Assuming you eat just the tail (and claws, if there's anything worth eating there), it should be almost entirely muscle. They're bottom feeders, which tends to make me a bit nervous, but they may not sequester bad stuff all that much.
I guess I've never heard how crayfish rate in that regard. There are some fish down there that are pretty suspect, and it often comes down to how they store fat. I guess the only safe thing to do is to put your crayfish on a rigorous aerobic exercise plan for a few weeks before eating them.
Crayfish Gymnasium! Another job your a plucky 3D printer.
We had a ton of them in Johnson's Creek in SW portland.
The creek was known to have sewerlines and more dumping into it.
No one ate anything that came out of it.
As I remember it they were said to be riddled with parasites.
Mmmm... parasites.
Pair o sights?
Parasites are pretty common. Just cook your food.
I'd be more worried about the "brown trout" in a river like that.

Hey, I'm not the one selling raccoons as food...Quote:

No offense taken. :)
RE Anti-Valentine's day:
I can relate. Have you seen the At&t valentine ads?
Apparently you have to show your sweety your love by buying their products instead of chocolate.
Commercializing Holidays. Yuck.
Here's one.

Yeah, that'll win her over.

Yes, folks, it's true... last year Akron's minor league baseball team changed their name to the RubberDucks...
:duck:
NBC's Brian Williams now a minor-league baseball promotion for Akron RubberDucks
They change every time.Quote:

I got my wisdom teeth removed today. Probably not a wise choice. I guess they were defective anyway.
Did they knock you out completely, or just a local....or nothing at all (for the sadistic dentist option)?
They knocked me out completely. Thank god. They put the IV in me. I felt a little weird. Then the next thing I remember is waking up again.
Sounds like sodium pentothol. That's what they used on me when mine were removed. The doctor told me to "count backwards from 100" and I think I got to 97 before I was out...Quote:

Hopefully, my mouth was too full of stuff for me to say anything, because I remember some parts of that quite vividly: They stuck the needle in my arm, then the nurse left the room. The nurse was very attractive and was wearing tight white pants that were so tight, light, and thin that they were semi-transparent. So, the last thing I was looking at as I went under was....I hope I didn't say anything.Quote:
