No, I'd blocked that out. Thanks for bringing it back up, now I'm going to have to go see a therapist...

OK, maybe alleged cruelty to molluscs isn't worth a trip to the therapist... but I'm on Kaiser so it's only $5.

The little spitting clams were very cute... I remember thinking it was an unselfconscious defense mechanism, like the way the hamsters would stand up on their hind legs and try to be still and invisible, but actually wobble quite significantly.
