Boys, you’re going to have to get your little swimmer count raised elsewhere

by Erick on June 24, 2008

Coastal oysters are now off limits.

Oyster harvesting on Georgia’s coast is off limits for three months to protect people eating the shellfish from bacteria sometimes found in warm summer waters.

Back to Red Lobster with ya.

“Little Swimmers?” Did you just write “little swimmers” Erick? Aren’t those pool diapers for 2-year olds?

SpaceyG,

What it takes for Erick to raise his “little swimmer” is his own business. But if my spam inbox is an indication, modern science has a number of options.

The only oysters worth shucking come from the gulf.

iirc–when i was growing up i thought the rule was that you never ate oysters in a month w/out an “r” in it anyway…

Dr Jay?

You grew up before modern refrigeration?

If anyone is really that hard-up for their oysters, I can just hawk a loogey onto a saltine cracker for you. You’re lying if you say you could tell the difference.

NotStevePerkins,

Thank you (not!) for bringing to words the picture that everyone had in mind already.

Erick,

If you had said that remark within the confines of the GDOT, you would be charged with sexual harrassment by now.

Nanny state. Do we really need the government telling us when eating oysters is bad for us? I’m sure it’s based on junk science anyway. Go catch ‘em and eat ‘em.
