      What do snails taste like...?

      I love oysters ,natural off the rocks or kilpatrick. Natural they feel like a slimy big tasty booger sliding down your throat, (just for the squeamish).

      I've never tried caviar.

      I've never tried witcherty grubs, I just couldn't get them to stop wriggling....

          Mrs Lagondas luggage may be drastically overweight but I'm not far behind, the new pants I brought for the trip don't fit any longer.

            I tried snails once, they were pretty tasteless in my opinion, I have never tried oysters because your description is exactly what they remind me of, and caviar is disgusting

              So jealous, as you probably know, I'm not a city person, I love peace and quiet, but I make an exception for Paris, it's such an amazing city, have fun.
              I really should get myself a passport, about 1 mile from me is a railway station that will take me straight to the centre of Paris

                  How come you know so much about my sense of style? I just know safari suits will come back into fashion.

                      Rocky Mountain Oysters have kind of a gamey flavor. Salt helps with that, though.
                      What, it probably was a right of passage when I might have been in the Reserves. Also, there was "punch", which I dared not drink more than two servings of, lest I wake up the next morning in an extremely embarrassing condition. The actual old timers that mixed the stuff would never say what the ingredients of "punch" were, and it didn't taste even a little like Everclear (which actually makes for a pretty good solvent for tape glue on plastic cabinetry if you can get away with it, although it wrecks the aluminum oxide coating on corona shells coated as such).

                        Was that Transportation Punch, MP Punch, or some other MOS punch?

                          Actually, I think it was Mechanic's Punch, as the unit I probably in then was a Light Wheeled Vehicle Maintenance Company. Although the unit's cooks may have had something to do with that as well. I hesitate to confirm they had anything to do with this though, as only a fool argues with a mule, a skunk or the cook.

                              Why do they pay sales people twice as much as techs to know nothing while paying techs half as much to know everything and figure out everything else...?

                                (first post went AWOL ?????)

                                That is the Peta principle.
                                Every person in any corporation is finally moved up the corporate ladder to their level of inefficency.
                                Those people working at the coal face of the company can never be moved from their true valuable
                                position, esle the company would collaspe.
                                There is a risk the ship would accumulate to much ice on top and capsize.

                                It is a very real fact of life.
                                Those who have earned the least rights through life receive "the most",
                                while those who have earnt the most rights through life receive "the least".
                                Some beleive a days worth of worry is a days worth of work.
                                If they were truly working they would have no time for worries.
