Come Out Of Your Shell

Is there anything more relaxing than the scent of clams? Sometimes I go down to Red Lobster and take a nap by the dumpster.

        OK, so gay men don’t like it. I still think it will be a great hit with the bi-valve curious.

          I agree with Ursusknittus.

          But beware! Clams & other bi-valves are only gonna call too much attention to themselves and before you know it, there’s gonna be some octopuses coming in for a kill.

          Not to mention squids squirting their ejaculate about the place!

          I’ll stick to the piers & waterfronts where the semen are.

            There is a very popular drink that involves mixing cheap beer with clamato, it is popular in Mexico and can actually now be purchased premixed. It also smells like a yeast infection on a Themysciran Fishing Trolly during a sea goddess festival….

                Funfact: it’s called a “Michelada” or a “Chelada”… It’s supposed to be a good hangover remedy. It can also contain chamoy, various peppers and chili powders, and seasonings, like Maggi and Worcestershire sauce.

                Basically, all of the ingredients make me gag.

    Hey, at least the rice, flaxseed, and lavender are in a MUSLIN bag…

    With her proofreading skills, that could have gone badly too

    I prefer the new England scent to the Manhattan variety. Soothing and creamy.

          I’m such a trendsetter. That’s why I’m so incredibly wealthy.

          People pay a lot of clams for my ideas.

      It means that YOU remove the bag so it can be washed BY the terry cloth. The terry cloth can’t remove the bag because it (the terry cloth) lacks opposable thumbs and doesn’t like to be reminded of that fact.
