I'm gagging just thinking of it.

I was on a marketing research trip in Europe several years ago with a woman companion who worked for the same company. We spent the night in Laussane in a Castle on the lake. We went down for dinner in the Great Room and she ordered Mussels. They brought her a gigantic bowl. There were so many we counted them. There were 60. The waiter then came and cleaned the table and reset it. That's when my 2nd steak and her next 60 mussels were brought out. She down 120 that night. Seems it is a Swiss custom to serve the meal in halves.

That's sweet, Arne, but the credit for such a successful event goes to dware and his thoughtful (yet hare-brained) idea to raise some additional money for FR.

He inspired me... kinda like you did, Arne, here:

Dware, you've made us all proud. Now you can go to DisneyWorld!

$50.50 enroute to FR.

[MotleyGirl70]

Did you see this? I got through to the "D's" and had to take a break to breath again. I miss all the good stuff when it's happening "live" on FR.

[Ms. AntiFeminazi]

bump to check out later. I'll be out until Friday. Please ping me or freepmail me the final score so I can get my check sent ASAP.

Good luck dware and don't get sick!

[Hot Tabasco]

Good luck! For what it's worth, the last 3 times I ate steamed mussels I got violently sick approx. 4.5 hours later. Diarrhea, vomiting and then it was over.

Don't know if it was bad mussels or allergic reaction. I suspect it was probably bad mussels but I'm not going to press my luck again.......

[oceanperch]

What you did made me so queasy that I renewed my monthly contribution and pray that no one will ever pull a stunt like that again.

I live across the street from an Oyster farm on the Yaquina Bay and have never been able to get into clams, mussells or oysters. Even got drunk when I was much younger in order to eat them and could not keep them down.

So dware you repulsed me into supporting a forum that has been a great source of knowledge, fun and companionship over the years.
