Not Mayflower Canyon?

Good to know. I’ve seen prawn-flavored chips, so that made me wonder.
I’ll have to try those! I love flavored peanuts; there are a few brands that have a really good dill pickle flavor.
Shrimp chips are addictively good. I have been known to start eating a bag and not realize how much I’ve eaten until it’s empty.
When I lived on Guam they were in every grocery store and got hooked on them. I don’t see them as often back in the states but now that I’m reminded of them, I really want some right now. 
Very comforting this CS thread has become.
Okay, just for laughs, here’s a web page with hilariously stupid headlines from newspapers.
It’s nothing new but hey, we’re not talking about food now.
Oh, Og.
My brother and I bopped around the Indonesian archipelago for about five weeks in the early-90’s where we ate our body weights in Krupuk – almost always shrimp-flavored – pretty much every day:
My cousin has an excellent recipe for spit-roasted long pig. The neighbors (S-MFes all) are very polite.
Can you imagine what must’ve been going through the tech’s minds as they tried to figure out what just exploded.
The magnetic field from the MRI scanner pulled the pro-gun lawyer’s weapon was pulled from his waistband and went off, shooting him in the tummy.
(featured also in the Stupid Gun News thread since the original incident report)
Yes, a man died, but… May I pause to decry the writing/editing/translating quality of the Independent’s short news piece as posted. I mean, “pulled the lawyer’s weapon was pulled”? Shot “in the tummy”? (c’mon people, “abdomen”? “gut”?)
Good lord. This freaking moron was allowed to carry a weapon? I mean ANYWHERE?
I mean if you don’t already know that metal is a big no no even being near an MRI. You shouldn’t be allowed to carry a slingshot.
Actually, given that a slingshot could be made metal-free, he might still be alive had he been carrying one of those.
Yeah, of course. I was just saying that this numb scull should not be let close to anything that could be dangerous. Including matches and rocks.
I know. I was just kind of kidding.
While this probably isn’t the case, I told myself that since the original incident was in Brazil, maybe it was just a translation issue. I could see an ESL person maybe not knowing that tummy sounds very out of place here.
The thing that kills me - no pun intended - is that surely they gave him the speech about how there must be absolutely nothing made of metal inside the machine for it’s made of BIG FRIGGIN’ MAGNETS. Sure, he’ll take off his watch and his ring and his retainer, but damned if he’s getting anywhere near those things without a weapon, by cracky.
Techically, the victim neither entered nor intended to enter the machine. He was accompanying his mother who was getting the scan. He was just in the room, most likely 8~10 feet away from it. The story did not make it clear whether the machine was actually up to scanning power at the time, but those are pretty damn huge magnets.
Pure supposition, not “most likely”.
nitpick-mode:
given that those magnets in a MRI are electrical magnets, it is safe (;o) to say the MRI was scanning (or otherwise you have not those huge magnetic fields), pulling the gun and shooting mr. lawyerman in the tummy.
