But how do I become clam?

@emma @idlestate @sus Now I can't stop singing the Smothers Brothers' "Crabs Walk Sideways," for which I thank you dearly because it was a song my beloved (and departed) mom sang to me as a child.

@sus Step 1: Do not have an emergency while not clam.

@sus Step one, get in the water

@sus

"immediately shut your shell, which triggers the alarm"

The water quality monitoring clams in Warsaw, Poland.

@howtophil If this worked, I'd be spitting out pearls at the speed of a machine gun.

@sus

@farah Honestly that is probably the emergency that is happening on a boat so i cannot disagree

@sus @benroyce

First: you need to go back into your shell, after you have exuded your bones to make that shell

@DrSaucy @idlestate @sus ah another CBS show cancelled to appease a violent goon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPAY7MwJ2aM

@DrSaucy @idlestate @sus and you can tell why Nixon and the South were losing their shit about their show.

@emma @idlestate @sus My mom first taught me the "Sally & Herman" song a day or two after she back-handed my aunt across the mouth for responding to my inquiry about the name for a Brazil nut as "N-word toe"

@sus Just remember, if there's an otter or yinglet nearby, that just gets you into a different predicament.

@benroyce @sus Essence of Clam is my new band

@sus Then whatever happens, you'll be happy as a clam!

@sus Ivar's seafood restaurants in Seattle have the motto "Keep Clam" (and other o-fish-ally bad puns)

@sus clam up.
