"Anyway, like I was sayin', shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. There's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it."
There is also dried shrimp and bait shrimp.

Shrimp is(are?) bait.

If you ever had cold water Sitka Prawns you would swear you were eating Maine lobster. It's that good and my wife says better, and she's from the East Coast. She loves Alaska Prawns. Served with lemon butter and a bit of fresh herbs of your choice.

That's not about it! What about the Ebi? :wideyed:

Shrimp and tomato were the two flavors of ice cream I didn't much like.
So, I take it you did enjoy the Shiitake Mushroom flavored ice cream?

I would like to add "avoid it" to the list. Either I am allergic to it or it does not agree with me, but either way, shrimp and shellfish are a big no no for me. :vomit:
 
I've had many fish tanks in the past. I liked African cichlids.

Perfect for a GOF kind of morning. African cichlids.

Ex #2 (prior to becoming an ex) bought me a gorgeous tall hexagonal tank for Christmas one year. Went to the pet store and made the fateful decision to stock it with cichlids. Two years later, we were up to nine tanks! I'd bought none of them. Came home from a business trip once to find 2 guys caring a 1500 gallon custom tank up to my bedroom, where they set it on a custom base with a custom pump and filtration system built in it. Nice surprise for me! Ka-ching. Ka-ching. Ka-ching.

Couple of years later, she mentioned to me that it looked like the first floor ceiling in her studio (she was a spectacularly good artist) was sagging.

I was on the local city council at the time, and asked one of the local builders I knew to take a look at it. Of course, the master bedroom wall didn't line up with the studio wall on the first floor, and the aquarium was pulling down the upstairs ceiling with it. The builder suggested that I don't stand underneath the aquarium. Said he'd send someone over to take care of it.

The next morning, just after I'd gotten in the shower, two guys showed up with house jacks, a couple of 4x4s and 2 2x12s that were the full length of the room.

They jacked up the ceiling (second level floor and its ceiling), put the 4x4s in the opposing walls, mounted the 2x12s on them, and dropped the ceiling to level.

All before I finished with my shower!

And I could never get the builder to send me a bill. Good thing the newspapers never found out. The only 'graft' I ever took. Those extra long 2x12s must have been expensive. And I tried multiple times to pay him. Oh, well.

My experience with cichlids ended when my experience with her ended. :banghead:

IDK. Sounds fishy to me.:smug:

To some, fish tanks are like basses...can't get enough!
 
The neon babies didn't last long if you didn't separate them.

Sock it to me.
 
Nice! Any chance you could export the score to MusicXML? I'd like to see what it sounds like in Notion (I own all of their sound libraries).

Here you go:

Post a WAV or MP3 of the Notion playback.

The sounds in Finale are good for drums, percussion including mallet instruments, basses, keyboards, and some of the guitars. Horns, not so much but the t-bone is pretty good. I'm using the Garritan library.
