    ++ QUOTE OF THE DAY ++ --  George Berkeley:
        "I had rather be an oyster than a man, the most stupid and senseless of animals.”
        [SOURCE: The 2nd drunk at the end of the bar drinking oyster shooters]

    “As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy and to make plans.”
-- Ernest Hemingway
       “Eating a raw oyster is like French kissing a mermaid”
-- Tom Robbins
