A happy shrimp? Really?

[bjørn]

Dave's at the MMA* !

I could be there in 5 minutes

(mall of america)

[nursecindy]

Chris, I think we're going to need a bigger bottle. Also, how can those people in the food court sit there and not be looking at Dave Barry having his picture made with a giant shrimp? Not easily impressed in Minnesota are they?

[Meanie the Blue]

Also, Land of the Oxymoron.

[snif]

They have shrimp in Minnesota???

"At Bubba Gump's they make me wear a shramp costume - shramp shoes - shramp hat - shramp apron shramp button - shramp gloves - "

[The Dread Pirate Chris]

I don't have a bigger bottle.
We could go Asian instead.

[Tash]

What are you wearing under there?

In case everyone's done with the other thread, updated photos here:http://www.flickr.com/photos/tashnicp/

[Clankazoid]

Luckily, you missed the giant lutefisk.

Land of the Giant Shrimp?

thats what she (mrs blog) said..wakka wakka

[Lairbo]

Gee, whenever I get shrimp, they've already pulled off the apron and the hat.

[Brian]

Hey DPC, that's not Asian, that's what we gringos here in South Florida call a Pay-ella! Rice and schrimps, and chicken and olives and them red squiggley things, and most of the rest of the fridge.

Mmmmmmm...good stuff!

[Mercutio of Verona]

DPC, that's a giant paella, which is a Spanish delicacy.

[Meanie the Blue]

Bravo, Tash, Master of the Squirrelizer!

[nursecindy]

Tash's link. Those pictures are great. I love the squirrels.

[wiredog]

Nice blue pants Dave.

[tw]

Wow, what a small world...I took a picture of my nephew posing with that same Bubba Gump at the Mall of America back in July. Of course, my nephew is all of 3 years old!

[queensbee]

bummer. i'm kosher.. (not)

[Cheesewiz]

Maybe Mississippi shrimp get so big by swimming up from the gulf?

[Siouxie]

Where's the shrimp's other hand...er..claw??

[Tash]

Thanks MTB and nc!

[cheryl howard]

That's no shrimp, that's a Sea Monkey!

[Lairbo]

cheryl, you are so right! Cue Charlton Heston shouting, "Bubba Gump Shrimp is sea monkeys. SEA MONKEYS!!!!!!!!

[The Dread Pirate Chris]

Yes, I know it was really a paella. But is was the first result for an image search on "giant wok", which seemed appropriate at the time.

[nursecindy]

I thought it was a good image Chris. Thank you but I think it's spelled r*o*c*k. I'm just saying.

[Loudmouth]

Yikes, Tash, are Dave and Ridley costumed as cross-dressing pirates on the screen?

[Loudmouth]

Watch out for the shop with the giant bearded clam!!

[CJrun]

chaz, that's the Jumbo Shrimp, one of George Carlin's oxymorons.

[Meanie the Blue]

Dave may be smiling, but he is probably plotting an act of political sabotage. If you click on the photo, you will see it actually includes a campaign worker on the right, wearing a Gump for President t-shirt.

My guess is Dave will try to lure him into a steamer.

[Bernard Scooper]

Tash, love ya, but get the kilts off the squirrels. We are no match for Craig.

[Tash]

Hee hee, I did those before I saw your "always commando" line, Bernie

[nursecindy]

Just curious but where is Ridley? Did he take the picture or is he actually in the giant shrimp outfit? NTTAWWT.

[crossgirl who finally changed her name back]

no fair, cheryl stold my thought!!!!

[cheryl howard]

CG Send me 12 upc's + 3.95 for shipping and handling and it can be your post.

[danceswithetruscancrustaceans]

Somehow I thought Fighting Pr0n Prawn would look more sophisticated. And Bold Abalone wouldn't be so pink.

[nursecindy]

I wonder if Dave is still shopping at the Victoria's Secret?

[Clankazoid]

The Shrimp's apron is available from Victoria's Secret. $ 179.95.

[EB]

I wonder if Dave's hearing is still intact, after the noise from Camp Snoopy..

[emkeane]

I had a dream about Dave last night. All I can say is he eats a lot of french fries.

[WallyBallou]

Minnesota shrimp?

Wouldn't that be James Lileks?
