Nothing dirty (apart from where they live), just clam.

This one is different from that old prozac-driven ramble, I’m serious this time.  
Say it a few times with me: clam. Clam. Clam. Clam.

Close your eyes and say it slowly to yourself a few times. Clam. Now say Clip.

I think Clip sounds better after saying Clam a few times. Clop never sounds good though. Weird huh?

That reminds me, I still have about 5 limits of razor clams in the freezer. Now I know what’s for dinner!

Steamed open… several dozen in a large salad bowl… a 1/4 filled soup bowl of warm drawn butter next to it … a Hefty bag for the shells…
