+briansnat Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 After about 10 or 15 replies pretty much everything that can be said about a subject has already been said. After that you get repetition, nitpicking and the occasional pissing match. Quote Link to comment

+GrateBear Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 If you think this forum is bad, try Cruise Critic. I'm convinced most of the posters are senior citizens with nothing better to do than post the same answers over and over again. It's like everyone has to put their two cents in, even though the question was answered 10 post previously. And heaven forbid you should make a comment about it--they pounce like a rat on cheese!

+wimseyguy Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 That would accomplish one of two things: 1. Many threads would go on with less angst and might have a reasonable discussion. 2. Many threads wouldn't get past page 1. Both are good options; I would endorse that proposal. Quote Link to comment

+wimseyguy Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 (edited) They're geoducks, just like Brian said they were.

+Klatch Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 what was the "colorful" name of the clams? and did you get "the clap"? I never went digging for them and the name wouldn't be proper in a family oriented forum. Maybe in equestrian circles, but not here. Quote Link to comment
+flask Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 yes, the geoduck is delicious. i think i remember reading somewhere that the average age of those harvested is 44. the life cycle of the animal is interesting and the regulations for harvesting are equally interesting. i used to do a lesson plan where i described the geoduck and a thunder mole and asked classes to decide which was fictitious. the thunder mole is a small brown or red carnivorous rodent with a lighting-shaped marking on its back. it has two forms, the african or the european form. it burrows quickly underground and surfaces suddenly on its above-ground prey so as to shock it into a moment of non-movement causing it to be caught easier. you can do your own reading on the geoduck. everyone invariably picks the clam as being way more unbelievable.
