Confession of the day. When ever I go passed the canned fish aisle lately, I buy something. Today it was smoked mussels and a 90c tin of sardines. I can't help it. I now have a collection.
This fish in a tin thing is amusing and all but really, the biscuit aisle is where the party is at.
I reckon you're right because the day I discovered Malteaser biscuits was a fucking good day. I think I woop in the aisle.
I stay away from that aisle now ๐ still have at least 15 kgs to lose
are we fessing collections now?
I have a small collection of cameo shells. Mostly crudely made tourist trinkets but they amuse me for now. I'll probably give away most and keep one or two I really like.
Faces on shells. That's bizarre.
not faces, touristique pictures
the best one I have is a scrimshaw shell from Tidal River ( probably made in Fiji like all the rest of them ๐)
I do have a helmet shell tho, not carved. Even so they are quite valuable
Oh because when you said cameo that's where my mind went to. My apologies
There are many things that I find bizarre in this world but fascinating at the same time. Like octopus.
cameo is just a carving technique
Oh. Shit, I learn things every day.
Are you hitting on me?
You've certainly penetrated my soul. Try tinned lamb tongue in a sandwich. It'll blow your mind.
i'm imagining someone propose to you with the pullring from a tin of canned fish
Force will anoint his followers on the forehead with fish oil. โ
We will carry out our summoning ritual with candles in cans
The eucharist will be served with wine and a smidge of sardine upon a cracker

I couldnโt help myself from a tin of herring when I went to Aldi :(
๐ I think we've joined a cult without knowing.
