Starving. Earl, we got any mussels back there?

Either I'm missing something, or this whole greenlight is vastly disappointing.

I prefer meeting a woman who's an expert on clams.

I'd prefer a woman who does well with hot dogs.

If they're from Brussels, you should probably stay the hell away. They bite snakes for kicks!

MUSSELS?

Steamers > Mussels.

But both are delicious.

You're right, what we need is another Religous, Mac/PC, Obama, Israel/Palestine, Global warming, or other such article. Surely, those will lead to more original and enlightening discussions.

Mussels are less expensive, though. I like 'em both. For every 2# bag I cook, I get 1, or at most 2 unopened mussels.

A Monty Python CLASSIC from episode 32!

Mrs Jalin He says do we want a documentary on molluscs.
Mr Jalin Molluscs?!
Mrs Jalin Yes.
Mr Jalin What's he mean, molluscs?
Mrs Jalin MOLLUSCS!! GASTROPODS! LAMELLIBRANCHS! CEPHALOPODS!
Mr Jalin Oh molluscs, I thought you said bacon. (she hits him again) All right, all right. What's he charge then?
Mrs Jalin It's free.
Mr Jalin Ooh! Where does he want us to sit?
Mrs Jalin (calling through the door) He says yes.
Mr Zorba enters carrying plywood flat with portion cut out to represent TV. He stands behind flat and starts.
Zorba Good evening. Tonight molluscs. The mollusc is a soft-bodied, unsegmented invertebrate animal usually protected by a large shell. One of the most numerous groups of invertebrates, it is exceeded in number of species only by the arthropods ... viz. (he holds up a lobster)
Mrs Jalin Not very interesting is it?

(I've cut out the boring bit)

Zorba However, what is more interesting, er ... is the molluscs's er ... sex life.
Mrs Jalin (stopping dead) Oh!
Zorba Yes, the mollusc is a randy little fellow whose primitive brain scarcely strays from the subject of the you know what.
Mrs Jalin (going back to sofa) Disgusting!
Mr Jalin Ought not to be allowed.
Zorba The randiest of the gastropods is the limpet. This hot-blooded little beast with its tent-like shell is always on the job. Its extra-marital activities are something startling. Frankly I don't know how the female limpet finds the time to adhere to the rock-face. How am I doing?
Mrs Jalin Disgusting.
Mr Jalin But more interesting.
Mrs Jalin Oh yes, tch, tch, tch.
Zorba Another loose-living gastropod is the periwinkle. This shameless little libertine with its characteristic ventral locomotion ... is not the marrying kind: 'Anywhere anytime' is its motto. Up with the shell and they're at it.
Mrs Jalin How about the lamellibranchs?
Zorba I'm coming to them ... the great scallop (holds one up) ... this tatty, scrofulous old rapist, is second in depravity only to the common clam. (holds up a clam) This latter is a right whore, a harlot, a trollop, a cynical bed-hopping firm-breasted Rabelaisian bit of sea food that makes Fanny Hill look like a dead Pope... and finally among the lamellibranch bivalves, that most depraved of the whole sub-species - the whelk. The whelk is nothing but a homosexual of the worst kind. This gay boy of the gastropods, this queer crustacean, this mincing mollusc, this screaming, prancing, limp-wristed queen of the deep makes me sick.
Mrs Jalin Have you got one?
Zorba Here! (holds one up)
Mrs Jalin Let's kill it. Disgusting.
Zorba throws it on the floor and Mr and Mrs Jalin stamp on it.

Look, if Dr Karl says it is so, it is SO!

I love Dr Karl (in a masculine purely heterosexual way)
but I don't understand this getting a green light?

I've met him a few times, when he's been doing the Sleek Geek tours along with Adam Spencer. Somewhere I have his business card that shows him as "Julius Sumner Miller Fellow", which is very appropriate.

BTW, I'm very jealous about the "worked at Triple J" part there... would love to hear some of those stories...

/Dr Karl does indeed rock
//He makes learning fun!

Dr Karl refers to his lectures as "gigs".

 
gocheesego 2009-06-15 09:21:35 AM  
I want to hear the Triple J work stories, too! I've only met Paul McDermott in a brisbane strip club at 3am on a wednesday morning. He was all.. lonely. Very un-celebrity.
