Baby shower food?

people gotta stop mistyping my name, then.
LOL

Yeah. Question for the mods why does the c-p word get deleted in the middle of words? I can understand on it's own but not when it was in the middle of a word. For instance I said in one post s****ed my leg (sc*raped) and it blocked it out. Same thing for the nickname for Richard. I know Richard Shelby, (R), Alabama and his nick name is the D-k word. However, I also said something hurt like the d*ickens and it got ****'d out.

Anyway to fix that?

I have noticed the stars before, but didn't know what they were for. It has made some of the post really hard to read. I always thought it was the poster doing it.

Nope. Language filter and probably the NSA. :spy

I know. I couldn't resist. Did I ever mention that I'm DEEmented? :heh Well I am.......seriously. I've gone to DA (Dementeds Anonymous) and it hasn't helped. The twelve steps are just too demented and cause us to re-offend. Kinda like that post. :pound

Uh you don't like crab? Oh my gosh are you INSANE!!!! :panic

Shellfish of any kind is WONDERFUL. :drool

[scrappergirl]

no, crab and lobster and shrimp are just a bunch of bugs from the sea. icky yucky.
now clams...i can sort of stomach those (not the stomachs, though. ahahahaha) if they're in New england style chowder or they're stuffed.

but that has nothing to do with why i am insane....;)

I used to have a guy I knew who was getting his masters in fisheries at the local university. I was typing and editing and proofing his thesis for him.

They did some kind of genetic thing between lobster and crawfish. Looked really weird but boy wuz dem some good eating.

He'd bring me over a huge bag of them and I'd divide them up and freeze them.

We had a cook out at my inlaws and my now 13 year old nephew was about six then and he saw them and couldn't figure out what they were.

So I spun this yarn about how I shot down an alien ship in the back yard and that's what came out. So me and the hubby gathered them up and froze them and I thought, "Gee they look like lobster wonder what they'll taste like?" so I cooked them and they were good so I've been sitting on the back deck with my sniper rifle shooting down those little alien ships and gathering up the aliens to eat. Yeah I'm mean. :heh

I could tell he knew I was putting him on but I kept such a straight face and so did the hubby and trust me I can spin a yarn right out of thin air and make you believe it. Eventually he tilted into the "Golly she shot an alien ship down" side of things.

Unknown to him we'd left them sitting on the counter to defrost and I'd hooked up some string I'd tied to one's tail through the plastic and had run it under the bag and covered it with a pot holder and then ran it around the back of stuff on the kitchen counter. I told him you had to watch the little devils closely cause once they started to thaw they'd start hopping all over the place. Told him they weren't dead until we boiled 'em in Zatarain's crab and shrimp boil. Told him it had a special shellfish alien killer ingredient in it.

Told him to watch the bag for me because I didn't want to have to chase them all over the house if they thawed out and got out of the bag before we were ready to cook them. Sat him on a stool in front of the counter.

Then we're all in the family room (bar & kitchen open & I had run the string to the family room and had hold of it). We were talking like nothing was going on when I yanked on the string. The bag jumped. He jumped and yelled.

We said, "What's the matter Max?"

He said, "Those things are coming alive." We all looked for a few minutes but no movement. So we left him to keep watch and went back to the family room. Now I'd fixed the string so that when I jerked really hard it would make the freezer bag jump off or fall off the counter.

I jerked it several times and he'd yell but he was NOT going to let those aliens get the better of him. We all wondered how long he'd last. Finally, I jerked it really hard and it came flying off the counter. He started yelling, knocked the stool over and came running into tell us they were getting away. He grabbed the doggie door thingey (kept the dogs from going into the kitchen) and put it across the entrance and said, "There they won't get out of there now."

We all died laughing. We expected to kinda scare him and have a little fun. He LOVED for us to scare him like that. I had told my story too good and he actually believed it. :pound

He was upset after I explained the trick to him. He really wanted to eat an alien. :heh

i can't tell ANY type of tall tale without breaking out into a grin and giving myself away.

:shifty Well I am very good at it. I used to be a reporter and not giving anything away by your facial expressions when doing a difficult interview was essential.

Now I do politics which is worse. :heh

Oh did I mention I'm also a spy? :spy
