I'm afraid that's probably the most boring post you've ever posted. I'm unemployed, and I have very little to do with my time, yet still I couldn't bother to read the whole thing. I'm amazed the meme has lasted this long. Maybe I just don't get the internet. I'm gonna go sort Kyle's socks. That sounds like fun.

LOL. I gave up on this meme after not recognizing most of the items on it. ^/^ But if others want to play, I won't complain.

Just out of curiosity, is it possible to prepare oysters so that they don't taste/look like a ball of snot?

No. No it is not.
