Crab And Shrimp

[Rocks 'n Roots]

Just saw a new product at WalMart - Single packet foil pouch servings of chunk crab and shrimp. These would go well in a trail noodle stew or even an on-trail gourmet dish for those inclined...

I will have to go along with an earlier quote from Rainman, the shrimp taste like cardboard (tried them for lunch today) but the oysters are OUTSTANDING. I have not tried the crab yet, but expect them to be good! The scallops are also very good.

Gosh, Rocks, for someone who's forever ranting about Mother Earth, saving the ecosystem, urban sprawl, corporate greed, and an assortment of other modern-day woes, as well as reminding us frequently of your zealous defense of the natural world, you're about the LAST person I'd expect to be shilling for Wal-Mart. Don't you know half of them are built on wetlands?

Gosh, where have all my heroes gone.....

I'm glad to see people are paying attention when I speak!!! LOL

P.S. I'm looking forward to trying the real crab and the fake crab too.

I wish you could be at springer for 2005...I love pizza for breakfast!

I have been shopping in Wegmans lately. They sell a foil pouch of tuna steak with maybe three different flavors. These are distributed by Bumble Bee Tuna. I tried one that was marinated in ginger and soy. It was a real piece of tuna that tasted nothing like the regular stuff. It was real good, but also much more expensive then regular tuna.

I don't know how friendly Wegmans or Bumble Bee are to wetlands though.

Oatmeal is pretty much cardboard. Just add spice.


"Shill for WalMart"???

The remark was meant as something of a joke, Rocks, tho I'm not surprised you failed to see the irony.

Considering you posted like 17 times to the Environmental Terrorism thread (actually, you STARTED the damned thread, come to think of it), and considering most of your posts hectored us on the dangers and evils of development and suburban sprawl, I'm frankly amazed that you shop at places like Wal-Mart, or encourage others to do so. This is, after all, a corporation that relies on sweatshop labor to make a lot of its goods; that destroys small towns and main street business districts; that treats its employees dreadfully in terms of compensation and health care; that is presently being sued for mis-treating its women employees; that is vehemently and relentlessly anti labor and labor union; and lastly, is well known for putting its "Big Box" superstores up in previously undeveloped locations----farmland, forests, marshes, swamps, etc. Lastly, and certainly not least, they have a pretty bad record on environmental issues, both during and after the construction of their stores.

So while my comment was first meant as a joke, Rocks, it's actually kind of serious. It just surprises me that someone who is constantly reminding us to live and act on a moral plane as high as yours when it comes to environmental issues, would not only shop at Wal-Mart, but encourage others to do likewise, since they have so much cool stuff available.

Don't get me wrong.....I've no doubt you're absolutely sincere in your awareness and activism when it comes to environmental matters, and that you genuinely care about such matters as degradation of the environment, destruction of open land, water pollution, and urban sprawl. I'm positive your feelings about these matters are heartfelt and sincere.

Except when your convictions interfere with the opportunity to buy cheap crabmeat and shrimp for your trail dinners.

Then I guess a little bit of sprawl is a good thing, eh?

[Jack Lincoln]

I am quite sure that you would bitch if you were hung with a new rope!

Now that you are through with Warren Doyle; perhaps you are looking for some fresh new meat to carve.

I know Rocks and he is an activist. At least he does something as opposed to you doing nothing but beating the same dead horse for newcomers on this board.

You speak of unhealthy relationships and someone, "having too much time on their hands." Well, look at most of your posts. They are, for the most part, long winded and vitriolic, especially when you are espousing your point of view; I assume you draw that point of view directly from your lifestyle.

I know you, big fatboy, and you need a few things in your presentation of your point of view. You might start with tact!

I hope to see you on the PCT in '05'. I will tell you these things to your face!

[screwysquirrel]

Wooo getting kind of violent here on the whiteblaze huh? I bet ole jack proabably would kick your ass if you did met him on the PCT (Punks Commuter Trail). Not that I agree with everything Jack has posted here but I met Jack long time ago in the Smokies and Gatlinburg, though he probably doesn't remember me since it was awhile ago but I think you would be in a good hassle there. And as far as Warren Doyle goes, he's a parasite on the AT.

[treetrunks]

I'm hoping that you know Jack Tarlin and you are only goofing. I have found his posts to be very reasonable and sagely, (is that a word?). I always pay attention when he does post, because what he says is usually appropriate. I have pretty closely plagiarized his re-supply list for my 05 thru-hike and feel indebted to him, in a way, for saving me all of that work. Personally I look forward to meeting him someday.

[Lone Wolf]

Hey squirrel, why do you say Warren is a parasite on the AT? Do you have the balls to say that to his face or are you like the rest of the tough guys around here?

[Blue Jay]

Since this is the crab and shrimp thread and clearly it's staying on topic, I am required to post here. I like being a crab, so I'm posting even though at the present time I have nothing to crab about. I promise I will think of something.

BJ,

Well said... thanks, I need a laugh every now and then while reading some of these postings.

Hi Mr. Lincoln! And Merry Christmas to you too! When you go back under your rock, don't bump your head!



And, Wolf, please don't start in with the Warren Doyle stuff up again. Everyone's pretty much sick of it. And the "Wouldja say it to his face?" stuff is old and lame, too. Back in October, when he came round to see how badly we'd trashed and dis-respected our new campsite at the Gathering, (which of course we didn't do), he had every opportunity to discuss things to OUR faces, as we were still in residence at the time, yet he neglected to do so. Seems like it isn't us who have the problems with face-to-face dialogue.

And as you well know, I debated and responded personally to Mr. Doyle in open discussion at the Gathering on several matters, including several occasions in which you were yourself present. Hundreds of people witnessed these discussions, so to say that these matters haven't been addressed to him publicly and openly is simply untrue, and you well know it.

And you must also be aware, being a regular visitor here, that Mr. Doyle was aked about his visit to our campsite on many occasions, including being asked as why he didn't want to walk seventy yards across the lawn and make a personal inspection while we were still there----if he had any questions or problems as Gathering Co-ordinator, this would have been a perfect opportunity for him to have addressed this matter. But no, Doyle never bothered to face us there with his complaints and problems, and he likewise never adequately responded to direct questions here; instead he assiduously avoided direct dialogue altogether, and shortly left the website in a huff.

I trust this concludes your "face-to-face" comments re. Warren Doyle. But if you want to belabor the point and go round and 'round again on this, I suppose we can, tho I gotta tell you, most folks, including myself, are probably sick of the topic.

But to sum up, questions about Mr. Doyle's behavior and actions were indeed discussed at October's hiker Gathering, and they were discussed in his presence, "to his face". He also had the opportunity to talk with us at our campsite "face-to-face." He skulked away and declined the chance. So Wolf, you really might want to give this one a rest. Not only is your argument weak, but truly, nobody here much cares.

But Merry Christmas in any case.

[Lone Wolf]

BS Jack. You never confronted him one on one. In those discussion groups you never mentioned his name. I was asking squirrel why he feels the way he does about Warren. Butt out and shut up.

[Jack Tarlin]

Wolf:

You're either deliberately mis-stating facts or your memory is fading with age.

As you well know, I stood up at the Main Business meeting at the Gathering, and in response to Warren's comments about maintaining ethical behavior on the trail and the importance of everyone following rules, I IMMEDIATELY responded directly to him, and told him in no uncertain terms why I, and many others, dis-agreed with him. This very personal rebuttal to a comment Doyle had just made was about as face-to-face as it could have been. And several hundred folks witnessed this, including you. And most of them appluaded it, I might add.

And as far as who didn't want to talk to people personally at the Gathering, in adult fashion, I think I just related (for around the ninth time) that it was he who had the perfect chance to do this, at our campsite, but he simply wasn't up to it. Immediately after being told we were still at our campsite and that he was welcome to have a look at it or talk with us, he immediately left. And quickly, too.

So I'll happily "butt out" of this tired and silly conversation, but only because I'm sick of it. Your version of events is provably false as several hundred folks can attest to. If you want to continue discussing this matter, have at it, but I doubt it's going to lead anywhere new: You're the only one who seems, at this late date, to give a damn about Mr. Doyle, and you are most welcome to him.

But if you want to further the discussion, stating mis-truths and falsehoods regarding what transpired in October does not further your argument.

Now I'll butt out. Merry Christmas.

[Lone Wolf]

You brought it back up boy. I made a simple statement to someone else and your gossipy self just had to get your nickels worth in.

[Lugnut]

Everybody's sick of it. Let's talk about shrimp and crab!
