How can I make my octopus go further?
I was cleaning off my computer desk this afternoon when I found this newspaper clipping from lord-knows-how-long ago...
When an octopus is not boiled properly, it will just "splat" when thrown onto an ice-hockey rink, Detroit fishmonger Alphonse Arnone says. The smelly animal sticks and often leaves an ink stain. However, after an octopus is boiled for 20 minutes on high heat with a little lemon juice and white wine to mask the odour, it becomes a rubbery missile, with waving purple tentacles, that can be hurled for 30 metres and will bounce & roll satisfactorily across the ice when it lands, The New York Times reports.
You're welcome.

He's fine when I saw him last a couple of weeks ago. Comes out to Baltimore's club night fairly regularly.

The mind works in odd ways. "Octopus" to me is vaguely sexual, as are oysters. This connection went to what oysters are supposed to do for one, libido-wise. Which made me think of that sproingy bit we have and like so much. Which made me think of the Penis Origami that Russ gave me about 12 years ago, since it's probably in one of the boxes I dug out from under the stairwell. And back to Russ, wondering what he's up to these days. And then...
