Muscles are biofilters. They thrive on docks in crowded, protected (poorly flushed) bays where the most concentrated human activity and pollution is... I think they're a marvelous lesson in how the earth cleans itself... but I wouldn't eat them.

Like eating the kitchen sponge.

Ivar Hagland says " Keep clam everyone". If other people get to have oxycodone in their mussels, I want beer & conch fritters.

Full moon now. You can catch your clams mooning themselves. They are now most vulnerable but you have to be quick. There is a technique that I use to make this an advantage to a success clam hunt. Do you want to know?

I certainly am not inclined to blame Soros personally as I have no information to do such a thing. The amount of drugs being prescribed, smuggled, sold, used and dumped is staggering.

However it's easy to see which direction drug policy is going: Open Society Foundation and ACLU are working hard to make drug use a human right. And we all know where money for human rights issues comes from.

Just OSF runs workshops on this around the world!

So clam up anyone who doesn't want to see, hear or say anything. :-)

Yes I do. Don't clam in a red tide though.

I'm glad you asked.
On tides like today, the clams come out to expose themselves on the dry clam bed. Get a bunch of your well juiced drinking buddies/friends/GF/BF who team stampede them critters towards the water. Careful because you easily outrun them and accidentally step on them, thereby catching your clam. When the clams hit the water, they become helpless, they sink to the bottom and unsuccessfully try to swim away. They can't. You see, clams can hop very well on sand with one foot. But when they meet water they are like a rock. Clams only have that one foot and no matter how muscular it is, that one foot is ineffective for swimming. Besides they not fish, they are clams... no fins. Just reach down to pickup the poor things out of the water and into the boiling pot. Oregon beaches, 12 cockles, 12 butterclams (little necks) per person.
Science lesson. Clams shells eventually morph into limestone/marble, both are mined to make cement concrete, commonly called "Rocks" Because clams are basically Rocks, that is why they can't swim and why you can bounce a rock across firm ground.

Softshell clams, need a different technique

OK, one more joke, I couldn't resist and made it up myself. What did one clam gangster say to the other? "Stop muscling in on my surf".
