I’m pretty sure it went like this: “Whatcha got there?” “Bucket of clams.” “There ain’t no clams in that bucket” “Clams are sold. All I gots left is this clam juice.” “Whatcha gonna do with the clam juice?” “I was thinkin’ of drinking it” “Jesus Vern! That’s disgusting! At least mix something with it so you don’t puke!” \< adds tomato juice \> “There.” “Still disgusting. Add some booze at least to cut the clam aftertaste” \< adds vodka \> “There” “Nope. Can still taste the clams. Try this” \< digs in back of fridge for old crusted over Worcestershire sauce that nobody had touched in a decade, digs in back of spice cupboard for first thing that comes to hand \> “Better. Let’s sell it to some stupid tourists” ---

Yeah, I struggle with the idea that there are people who actually _want_ a drink that tastes like clams. ---

Back when Cracked was funny they did a video series called “Agents of Cracked.” In one episode one of the main characters goes into a bar and asks for the worst possible drink and the bartender gives him a mix of apricot brandy and Clamato 🤢 He calls it “clampricot shandy.” I love shellfish but the thought of drinking clam flavor stuff cold grosses me out. ---

Raw oysters and cooked mussels are often eaten cold. IMO clamato isn’t bad; just pointless. ---

Clamato is the Canadian equivalent of a sheep’s eyeball. Except it’s not for suckering tourists, they actually drink that shit! There isn’t enough vodka in the world to get me to drink a Caesar. ---

Go to your room and think about what you did. And don’t come out until you’re sorry. I meant that for running\_coach but it works for digs too. ---

Although some trolling is permitted in the Pit, that is not absolute. One of the important (but not the only) consideration for trolling is misrepresentation. FriendlyCurmudgeon alleged that Biden had said the n-word, when it was clear that Biden had made a slip of the tongue in saying “n’eager” as he was trying to say “I’m eager to hear next from my good friends.” This was a del… ---

Octoputz thinks iiandyiiii asking for examples of previous passes is farcical. What’s farcical is the mods keeping that thread open, and not just slapping the asshole down for his obvious _Bias!
