5. Because the people here aren't REAL progressives
If they were, they'd realize that we're raping our oceans and destroying the delicate balance there. They should all be sent to Gitmo! :hide:

<heavy on the sarcasm>

10. Define
"shellfish overconsumption". I've never seen it; I've never done it. I don't think it can be done. There's always room for 'shellfish'. Especially shrimp and raw oysters.

11. It would be like filling your Hummer with shellfish and eating all of it
by yourself.

19. "Shellfish overconsumption": An oxymoron if there ever was one.
When I finish my Shrimp Pate, Lobster Bisque, Crab Cakes, and Boiled Lobster (BURRRRRRRRRRRRP) I'll get back to you.
