Shrimping Reports and Information
Here is one of the many posts I received
11/30/00 The Insane Shrimp Posse from Orange City had there asses slapped and were called Sally by all but 30 shrimp at Oak Hill last night. We arrived at dark and by 9:00 PM we new this was not going to be a good night for shrimping. There was a shuttle launch scheduled for 10 PM, so we decided to see how close to the launch pad we could get without getting arrested. Luckily we had a new Posse member with us who does not have a name yet, He acts very much like Clammy, and has a beard, so for this story I will call him Bearded Clammy. Bearded Clammy has never missed an episode of The A Team or McGuiver and assured us he could get passed all the security at NASA and get us within 100 yds of Launch Pad 39b. What happened next you may find hard to believe. Bearded Clammy used duct tape to tape cold beers all around the engine block to make us invisible to all the infrared sensors used by the security people at NASA. Then he crushed about 15 moon pies and started throwing them in the air to attract a flock of migratory birds. These birds liked the moon pies so much they surrounded the boat and the security people just thought we were a flock of birds. At 10 PM sharp we beached about 100 yds from the launch pad just in time to see some guy come out, light the fuse and run like hell. The light was so bright we were blinded, and the heat was so intense it singed Bearded Clammy's beard. Before the shuttle left the pad we noticed all the birds started heading for the light. Singed Clammy yelled "Don't Go Into The Light !!" But it was too late. These birds were so hopped up on sugar that they all headed straight for the fireball. What happened next will be burned into my memory forever. As the birds got closer to the fire ball, their wings caught on fire, The sky was filled with flaming birds, and when all the feathers were finally burned off it started raining flaming bird carcasses. They were falling all around us, hitting the water with a splat, then a sizzle. We gathered as many as we could to eat on the way home because we were out of Moon Pies. Another Insane Shrimp Posse success. Nobody got hurt, and nobody got arrested. The Shrimp Slayer
