Not to mention this guywith a clam.Quote:
wiggles frantically in sympathy.
So can't you just picture the clam "on the couch"........"Dr. Nilsbokken, I'm so depressed. I constantly feel battered. I'm so lonely. None of the other clams want to be with me. Is it because I'm so smelly? Tell me the truth, doc!"
LOL!!!! LOL!!!! I can't tell you guys how hard I have been laughing this morning!!!! (Thank you very much, Randi!!!) I'm sure the guy who was here to do my termite inspection thought I was nuts........he was under the house and I was up here just laughing my fool head off. He probably thinks I'm looney and dangerous, so he gave me a good report!!!!! :D
Oh Logan, you are going to turn this into a termite thread!!
A few years ago, a client had a major brochure printed and then they were shrink wrapped for shipping. When they reached the ultimate destination we immediately had a complaint! There were termites shrink wrapped in the brochures. The printing firm raced to make things right and soon everyone was happy.
My job was to send the final printing bill payment. I just couldn't resist - because all of us had been working together for years and it was a good relationship - I found a picture of termites on the internet - copied it many times, cut them out and included them with the check.
When he opened the envelope, all of these "termites" fell out too.
........that's mitey clever (sorry, couldn't resist:o )
Bet that really bugged him, huh?:DQuote:

Don't know about dem horseys, C & S, but you might suggest to your dad that dem klams might make good fertilizer for any flowers he might have outside. Might want to dilute it a bit though, wouldn't want klam overkill or anything. ;) :)Quote:

Oh, and this is just a suggestion before the bottle turns green and walks out of the refrigerator itself. :eek: I've never used klams as fertilizer before. Can't sayz I've ever even dreamed of buying any klam juice. Not much a fan of clams I am. ;) :)
LOL!!! Oh, my!! I haven't laughted so hard in a long time!!! I think I would give that clam juice the old burial at sea like Dad used to do to our dead fish. The old toilet flush thing. Good luck! You could write a book -
The Clam that Stayed Forever!!!:D
Yeah, but I bet the flowers would NEBBER open:p :pQuote:

I must be having an over literal night, but considering what usually fertilizes flowers, it seems hard to imagine that clams would faze them... :o :rolleyes: :eek: :oQuote:

Phred, it you get a few more of these cans and empty them all around your house - at a distance of course, you won't need a fence! :eek: All the neighborhood dogs and cats are bound to stay away! And who knows what plants will grow along that line :D
Maybe this could be a new deterrent to crime. Instead of bread and water give them bread and clam juice!!! It'd sure make me behave!:eek: :D

Thats the answer Cinder & Smoke - Get Dad to bury the clams in the back yard - - - it should kill all the Big Weedz Good Luck!!!

Doesn't this sound like an episode from The Twilight Zone ... eerie music, anyone? Hee, hee, hee.Quote:

This smacks of 'Day of the Triffids'!!! :eek: :o :confused: :D
Lynne
Oh no Phred! Please don't use the clams to fertilise your plants, you might end up with a yard full of TRIFFIDS! :mad:
A heavy drum beat; a sickly green light floods the screen; highlighting a series of faces as they stare upwards. Eerie choral music complements the air of impending danger. Something wet and leathery flies out, striking a screaming woman. The 'tongue' slithers towards the viewer, obscuring all else.

Weed or Triffid? -
It’s your decision!
“I whipped round to find a triffid towering only a few feet behind me. In one automatic movement I had my hands over my eyes. I heard the sting whistle as it slashed out at me - but there was no knockout, no agonizing burning, even. One’s mind can move like lightning at such a moment; nevertheless, it was more instinct than reason which sent me leaping at it before it had time to strike again. I collided with it, overturning it, and even as I went down with it my hands were on the upper part of the stem, trying to pull off the cup and the sting. Triffid stems do not snap - but they can be mangled. This one was mangled thoroughly before I stood up”

Well Phred, it’s beginning to look as if you shouldn’t have taken our advice about the clams in the first place, doesn’t it! So, if you see anything like this appearing in the yard, you’d better make an emergency call to your friends on Pet Talk, we’re here to help you out! :D

What's a clam to do????? Doc, you should hear how they talk about me. Isn't life hard enough for me -- shut in all day in the same old shell? Cats shun me....even DOGS shun me (at least I have the distinction of being the first digestable shunned by a dog...)
Now they want to bury me in the garden -- sacrifice me to the gods for a triffid! NO dignity at all!
Doc, doc, you gotta help me break out of my shell!
Then you'd be a SNAIL!!! I'm not sure that would be an improvement.:DQuote:

Not at our Howse! :p
Maybe some of you from the west coast, remember Ivors acres of clams. (showing age again) His tag line was "Keep Clam" Most of you must be mid westerners We on the west coast know what clams are good for. Ever wonder why Viagra sales are low here?
LOL!!!!! Corinna!!!! That is too funny.........I always heard that oysters were good for that......that's what we believe in the South, anyway!!!! :o
Do any of you remember the Dilbert book where due to a typo Scott Adams agreed to 'verify your clam'? It became a running joke through a couple books: how to face identify a clam so it could be verified, etc.
Have Phred's clams been VERIFIED? No wonder he's in Triffid danger. Can Smokey and Cinder verify a clam to protect their home??? Inquiring minds want to know...
Are oysters and clams da same thing? Oysters got pearls but do clams? If clams had pearls too they may be good for something after all. Though I'm not sure I'd like a necklace made from clam pearls. 'Course there may not be any difference. Isn't it amazing that oyster spit on a grain of sand can make a pretty pearl?:eek: :DQuote:

Inquirin myndz Need ta Knowe!! :confused:
Clams and oysters are two different species of Mollusks. Clams are in shells like the shell gas emblem. Oysters are in a really different shell the two taste totally different. I like oysters broiled in butter but I agree on clams YUCK!!!! My family loves them though. I leave when its clam bake time.
I tink day eat ebby ting...Quote:

ARGGGGGG!!!!:eek:
Dear Phred ...
I can quite understand your concern about Cinder & Smokey (not to mention Boots the Shadow). The only information I could find regarding dogs and Triffids was this:
”Along the way, stuff blows up, airplanes crash, and these weird looking plants kill a dog. Bill does a doubletake at this dead dog and wonders what's up, but then decides the dog is just sleeping something off and leaves with his child-bride” :confused:
On the other hand, there is apparently a way to beat them, and this is where you, Phred, with your special skills, can help save the world:
”Back on the other side of Triffid County, Phred and Karen are burning the midnight oil trying to find a way to beat back the menacing plants, and accidentally find a way when Phred turns a fire hose on them that's connected to sea water. Salt water destroys Triffids! We have lots of that! We're saved!”
So perhaps you’d better do something about those “weeds” before they do something about you! :eek:
On the other hand, if the worst comes to the worst, the Triffids do make everybody blind, so you can at least use Cinder & Smokey as Guide Dogs!
john
PS. It’s interesting that SEAWATER does them in, does all this really have something to do with Edwinas’ clam juice after all? :rolleyes:
bwahahaha!
salt on a birds tail? :eek: salt water against the mighty triffids? :eek: Well it does work to dissolve slugs so maybe we're on to something here. Here he comes to save the daaaayyy, the mighty Phred is on his waaaaayyyyy..........................Laurie
Phred, perhaps if water-mollusks aren't to your liking you might try the alternative......
:eek: MOUNTAIN OYSTERS?!?! :eek:
*GAG*
hmmmmm Zip, first the shadow, then triffids....I wonder how many even have even HEARD of mountain oysters:confused: and... agreed
*UGH ACK YUCK
