Alpo Posted September 18, 2024 Posted September 18, 2024 I'm watching a TV show the other day. Fiction. The gourmet chef is explaining how he got that luscious flavor on that hors d'oeuvres. "Escargot entrails." The guy sampling the food said, "snail guts?", and spit it out. Same show, different episode. The girl is showing that she has what it takes to be on "Fear Factor", and holds up a glass. "Fermented squid guts", and drinks it on down. Snails got guts? Squids got guts? Do they? Anybody know?

Michigan Slim Posted September 18, 2024 Posted September 18, 2024 If it eats, it craps. If it craps, it's got a poop chute.

Trailrider #896 Posted September 19, 2024 Posted September 19, 2024 I don't know much about critters, but there are a bunch of two-foot mammals that don't have much in the way of guts, and danged sure, no backbone!
