I'm curious who took the pictures. <BR/><BR/>Please tell us this wasn't the first time you've eaten fried calamari.<BR/><BR/>Once in an open-air cafe in Miami I ordered a bowl of calamari soup for breakfast, which isn't all that odd in Miami. The bowl was larger than I expected. A man sitting at the counter next to me asked how it was. I told him great but a bit too much -- halfway through the whole thing began looking like a bowl full of condoms and sphincters. He looked down at the remainders in my bowl and laughed so hard he actually slid off his stool.Chip Ahoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12597726289890879627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-71857512173668180302007-06-21T10:50:00.000-05:002007-06-21T10:50:00.000-05:00With their every overwrought insult (upon overwrou...With their every overwrought insult (upon overwrought insult), these Alt-trolls make their professed distain for their hostess less and less credible.
