Crawfish are what we call Crawdads down here.
Steamed and seasoned! Wow!

Sometimes I get unusual emails...
"The following items they are still looking for to complete 609 as of this date. They are restoring her to the “C” model configuration she carried all 5 years in Vietnam; the Musket and Taipan look:
(2) wind diverters
(1) white navigation light lens
(2) m 134 miniguns
(2) roof green house glass windows
(2) M 60 replicas
(2) 7-tube XM 158 rocket launcher
(2) M 60 bungee cords (original ones as we can purchase some that look like vintage photos if needed)
(2) ground handling wheels
(1) RPM Warning Box

So... does anyone know where I can get an XM 158 rocket launcher?

There are some Haitians down by the docks on the Miami river that could probably find a couple.

Forget how much sick I had accumulated a few years before retiring, but then there was a chapter 11, a strike, and then no union. And sick leave was zeroed out when I got back to work. Over half my vacation disappeared, too. Good thing 62 was coming in sight.

I replied backwards. I've been reading to many of Buzzcaps posts.
Here's what I meant.

Agree! Love them. Actually though, I hate lobster.

I love lobster. Freakin A!
Back in the 1800's Lobster is what they fed prisoners. Especially around the New England area.

I like shrimp, crawfish, and lobster, but only if they're cooked right. Rubbery, no thanks. Best shrimp I ever had was in a tiny strip mall shop that just sold them in paper bags, 1/4 lb, 1/2 lb, 1 lb. They were crispy. Had a friend once that had a half interest in a Louisiana shrimp boat, would occasionally get 2 lb and even bigger shrimp. Bigger they are, the better the flavor. They'd auction the big ones off in individual plastic buckets, he said a 4 or 5 pounder would get $100 or more, and that was in the 70's.
