Rules for submitting comments:
1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
Shhh! Careful with the rat cheese or they'll decide that's worth a try too! I mean, give 'em a patently ridiculous idea, like eating frogs' legs... oh, they already do, do they?
ReplyDeleteWhat I liked reading the article was the thought that there are people whose job description is "snail farmer". I can just see them, getting up at the crack of dawn, putting on the worn overalls, loading bales of... whatever it is that snails eat on the tractor. Mucking out the snail pens. Probably take their prize snails over to the French equivalent of a state fair every year...
Great imagery of a "farmer"!!
ReplyDeleteI suspect the biggest fear a snail farmer has is being attacked by a terrorist with a salt shaker.
