A day that will live in infamy....

SLE OF PALMS, SC - Thousands of starfish washed up on the beach at Isle of Palms over the weekend.
And it turns out, this happens a few times each winter on Lowcountry beaches.
Usually, strong off-shore winds push them onto the shore at high tide and they're stuck until the tide comes back in. Over the weekend, wind gusts were coming in stronger than 20 miles an hour.
Monday Night, we spoke with Mel Bell, the fisheries management director for the Department of Natural Resources who said this is pretty normal.
Bell said the last time this happened was in December on Fripp Island.
The problem? On the bottom of the ocean, Starfish can't really "stick" to the sand, so they end up going with the tides
Patrick had a good weekend at the box office.. I think he was busy.
Bravo for that - I never could fathom the meaning of those lyrics - I just now looked it up and am still unclear.
“we had joy, we had fun...”
Thanks, now I have this song in my head! Hahahha
Actually you can eat them in a similar manner to sea urchins - mostly the eggs. Different types provide better results - but these would do fine.
I first thought this topic was about Thai Girls.
The worst songs in all of human history were written in the early 1970’s.
This evil spell was broken only when “Short People” hit the airwaves.
After that, Captain & Tenille plus Donny & Marie returned some sanity to pop music.

Easy when it's one of your all-time favorite songs.
