Does not doing 121 mean you DID cry for Evita?

Imagine my surprise, I've done 41 of them. But this one is interesting:

41) Called in to a radio talk show.

Not only have I called into one, but hosted one too. Yeah, I dithered with radio from the mid 1980's to the early 90's. My first was on an FM music format station, second was an AM Talk radio station.

I've done 41 of these.

I love that you did #114 and #95. I'm afraid to ask about #92.

#6 - lobsters are cockroaches of the sea. Yuck!

Oh Michelle M, lobster with butter and lemon! Can't get any better.

Tell me, what are your thoughts on shrimp? Clams?

I've pretty much embraced seafood over time. I've eaten it raw, steamed, fried, you name it. Love it!

But I'll tell you this, the one I don't like is Cuttlefish. I have two fundamental issues with it. The first is that it's too rubbery. Second is that I consider that class of marine animals intelligent. They're in the same family as the Octopus and Squid.

But get this, I like squid. It's less rubbery.

But I often wonder, who originally caught these critters and thought to themselves, "Hmm, I bet this tastes good!"

truthspew: probably someone who'd been at sea eating saltpork for a month, and was willing to try anything they could find. -TwoPi-

truthspew - yuck, yuck and yuck! No seafood for me thank you. But then I am an unadventurous eater.

Cuttlefish (well, the bone, anyway) is for parakeets.
