[John Bay]

but catchin them little suckers can be fun sometimes      although they aren't that fun once you caught them

NEVER use an ice pick on them!

[JTheotonio]

U go t that right

[Darrin]

and don't try to bbq them

[JTheotonio]

They fall through the grate.    But they go good with Gilly!  Toss them overboard and drink the Gilly! 

[Darrin]

Speakin of BBQ'n stuff and it is by chance FRIDAY, it is time to fire the grill up once more and toss some steaks and chicken and even so ribs out on it tonight   will be marinating them shortly for an hour or so when the chicken and steaks thaw out. Would love to have had some Maine Lobsta's to go with this but for some reason they didn't show up in the mail tonight

[JTheotonio]

Well that grilling stuff is ok for a quick meal - but I need the whole day off to fire up the smoker - ribs, brisket, maybe a big turkey breast thrown in for good measure.  Slow smoking for hours - with just a touch of Gilly.  Now that's a meal.  No smoking lobsters.

[John Bay]

Sent them 3rd class mail.  I was assured they will arrive by July 4th.  Enjoy!

[Darrin]

Thanks John, don't know if they will be edible by the time that they show up but what the heck they may be REAL hungry and pissed off because they haven't eaten for a while and that maybe fun to see what they look like when they show up.

[JTheotonio]

Excuse me while I LOL I thought Maine Lobesters were above traveling 3rd class.    Might as well be shipping those mud bugs from down south!

[Darrin]

Hey John,
just had a thought    Why don't you open a Lobsta concession stand there at the museum and charge the tourista's for some real local grub when they come through to tour the Albacore?  Just make sure that you don't serve the Gilly to them or they will never leave     Some good Lobsta and Shrimp you can always call your dish "bugs and biologics" and when they ask what it is give them a lesson in submarine termanology and what they sound like underwater, get them interested in submarines in more ways then one.
Food for thought

[JTheotonio]

Darrin you hit a a great idea - why not a concession stand where everything edible has some link to sub terminology or history. Blow negative beans (can't use sanitary), bug juice (flavor of the day), ice tea with hint of diesel, SOS (children present so I wont spell it out, but you know what it is).  Here's a ready -made apron for you John!

[Darrin]

Ya see JT there is a reason why submariner's don't open up concession stands at a submarine museum, sooner or later we WILL have to go below decks and for those pure boats like the COD who hasn't been modified to allow a little older and maybe a few pounds overweight folks onboard it might be a little tight for some of us to get back onboard to commence field day or help restore equipment below during inclimate weather.  Aww who cares about gettin dirty on a boat when we can bring some tourista's in so they can spend their money in more ways then one, let's call this new stand the "deep diving cafe" and start makin some money

[JTheotonio]

 :knuppel2:Moderation   With some good Gilly!   And you can fit below!

[Darrin]

Sure with enough force we can fit some people below but do you really want to try to apply force to their bottom on the exit trip   Now there are a number of female tourista's that I have seen on Torsk that I would be more then happy to ahem help them with climbing up the ladder after a full access tour of the WHOLE boat

[John Bay]

Thought you were qualified!  Don't push up on butts to get out.  Just pressurize the boat!
