You're a braver girl than me! I'm plumb out of ideas.

Plum(b) jelly or jam, is good also

I knew you were going to say that (because I only just managed to stop myself from doing so).

I poked it with my finger.

It remained in its ooze-like state, unlike the slime mold.

Well, see that? It needed to be said, and you should have, but didn't, so i had to fill in and as a result neufer threw a Beyond-toon at me, that really should have been a Nitpicker-toon

Neufer threw the same toon at me a while back. See:

The hallmark of my posts is that they are self referential.

(And I will do whatEVER geckzilla (a.k.a, "Good Mother Lizard") WILL let me get away with.)

Ah yes. I had forgetted. Just too much stuff to keep track of at the Asterisk*, for me anyway. Must be part of neufer's going green plan. Recycling everything to get the most use out of it. It's plum(b) good, if you can do it.

It's not a good idea to test limits.

[Beyond]

But one must probe often to discover where the 'limits' are. 'Some' just do it more than others.

May they rest in peace.

Or pieces, as the case may be.

OUCH! An isopod grabbed my tongue.

Hmm... notice the band aid on the end of the finger.

[geckzilla]

I can't look at them without thinking of roly polies.

Pill-bugs can be considered pests of homes and gardens. They are, however, cherished among children, who enjoy keeping them as pets.

Yup! I feel sorry for the fish but none of them are harmful to humans. There are giant ones that look like huge, chubby roly polies which I actually think are cute.

The Wikipedia link you posted, geckzilla, also had this to say-->They are sometimes caught and fed to pets such as lizards, but this is not recommended since those animals might become poisoned.

[geckzilla]

It's also surprisingly difficult to get the usual insectivores to eat a roly poly. I've never seen a lizard eat one and if you throw one in a spider web there is a good chance it will get tossed out like garbage or ignored until it falls off on its own. Not sure why. They seem to be inedible.

I've made soup from them. Very good, quite similar to lobster bisque (but they don't change color when you boil them). I can't speak for lizards, but they are most definitely edible- choice- to humans.

• Leviticus 11:10. But any [creatures] that do not have fins and scales, whether in the seas or in the rivers, among all the creeping creatures in the water and among all living creatures that [live] in the water, are an abomination for you.

Yummm. Abominations...

Seriously, the little guys?

I don't think we're going to run out any time soon. As a protein source, bugs are much more sustainable than, say, beef.

[geckzilla]

Well, yeah, they just seem so...exoskeletonny.

No more than lobster or shrimp. And you can always go for earthworms, which are pretty much no-skeletonny.

[geckzilla]

Sure, but there's a lot more meat-to-exoskeleton ratio for a lobster or a shrimp.

It's a lot easier to catch a thousand pill bugs than it is to catch one lobster, though. Heck, you could keep a farm of thousands on a small shelf in your garage.
