Impossible.

I won't eat a bite.

It's okay though.

Aw, shucks! A few mustard seeds would change your mind.

A few Mr. Mustard's seeds is not going to not make them feel like snot.

Take that as you will.

Do mean mr. mustard's seeds feel like snot or do they taste like oysters?

No dice!

You don't eat the hard parts.

I like them plain, with lemon, with tobasco, or my favorite, horseradish.

I understand that oysters were once consumed much like burgers are today.
Which is to say that they were once America's favorite food.
Never cared for them myself, but I wish that we still had waters clean enough to support them as we
once had them all over. Like Shrimp and fish...

I don't eat raw oysters any longer. Fried, grilled in the shell, stew is all good. I'll shuck them all day long for you, @Hiddenjems, if you throw a few on the grill for me.

Putin is the new Stalin.

I thought we were supposed to be kissing his ass ....

 

[right]

In Orwells 1984,he warns about cancel culture. The thought police will cancel you for speaking. You are guilty of just thinking it, even if you aren't even aware that you are thinking it.
Authoritarian censorship.

 

[mean mr.mustard]

I think you are getting off topic.

Let's get back to Stalinism and Putin...

 

[right]

I can agree that putin is a wannabe stalin who wants reunification of the old soviet union.He wants statues and folk tales about him.

I don't know if his style is soviet but authoritarian.

 

[right]

To be honest I really need to brush up on putin. I know that he is an unscrupulous villain. He will feed you neurotoxins, or you may fall to your death from a single story building.

My concern isn't Communism abroad.

Animal Farm was one of three novels that really changed the way I thought as a teen in the 70s. The other two were George Orwell's 1984, and Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. I personally got more from 1984 than Animal Farm. All well worth a read, and I think I will read them all again.

Animal Farm was a critique of Stalinist Russia. These days it's often quoted in the context of Communism bad, therefore Capitalism good. Not quite what he was saying. He hated totalitarianism but was himself a socialist who believed also in personal freedom and civil liberties. Kind of where my thinking is at present.

 

[right]

I enjoy all 3 of those books . You have good taste in literature.

Check out heaven and he'll, it's a good read
