@benhasajeep I've deviated a few times I can't tell you how many washtubs of raw oysters I've downed over the years. Though I've kind of lost my taste for them in recent times. Several years ago, we had an "all you could eat" oysters on the half shell restaurant in Gadsden. Loved that place, till a few people got sick, couple almost died from the contaminated oysters. Now they're all pasteurized, wish is safe supposedly, but for some reason they just don't taste the same. Will be in Biloxi the end of December, they have the equivalent of a "farmers market for boats", right on the gulf where you can buy seafood fresh off the boats. Will probably overindulge

I was in Atlanta when a resturant called Spondivits killed a lady with bad raw oysters. I actually was eating across the street that day. They had a bad refridgerator and didn't do anything about it. Was only cooling to 48 degrees or something like that. And apparently they knew it. I don't think I have had any since then.

We get oysters right off the coast here, and I only normally eat them if they were brought in the same day. I do watch people go to the casino buffets and down them by the dozen, and that skeeves me out.

Commercial oysters out here come from Northern California’s Tomales Bay.

@Gary A. My "fond memories" of downing oysters is more on the order of a redneck establishment called the Flora-Bama on the gulf coast. The wines of the day were several pitchers of the draft specials of the day, and the entertainment was some of the best country music around. After a night of indulgence in large quantities of both beer and oysters, it wasn't unusual to experience severe gastrointestinal distress and a banging headache for several hours the next day. Probably bad oysters even back then

Mary Lou and Gary took Miss Maggie out for a second walk in the late afternoon. We were assuming the extra miles would wear out our little puppy. Apparently, Maggie hooked up with a dope dealer when we weren’t looking and scored some meth ... she is nuts ... Gary recognizes that a terrier is high energy ... but she is beyond simple high energy ... she is nuts.

OMG ... Miss Maggie brought in a pebble from the back and is rolling around on the carpet chewing a rock.

Between the bacteria, the BP oil spill, and now the threat of contracting flesh eating bacteria, I'm not sure I would eat any gulf coast oysters unless they were charred to a bbq bricquet level.

What kind of dog chews on rocks. She has a ton of toys and chewies ... but noooo ... she’d rather eat rocks.

Mary Lou and Gary have this reclinable love seat and Maggie will crawl under when the seats are extended. Mary Lou is suspicious that Maggie is up to no good when she’s under the furniture. Mary Lou just took a peak and said “... she’s making a fort down there.” MAry Lou found a collection of all kinds of stuff which has been squirreled away under the furniture.

Probably a toss up between bad shine or bad oysters ... maybe a combo of both.

Miz Maggie's fert imitation!

Miss Maggie has a bit too much hair and is not contorted enough to really resemble a fert...

It's 4:24am CST. Where are your kids?

I had the worst substitute in my classes yesterday.

Which makes my one day of work this week even more annoying.
