RM> Funny thing happened in a French cafe this morning. Me, J, J^2,
 RM> J^3, and my sister had lunch. J^3 (1yr old) was awake and
 RM> complaining, so we were the sort of people you *don't* want to
 RM> sit near in a cafe.

  The McNeill's from hell... the ones where the 3-yo takes a shine to
me and offers to share her chockky ice cream while I'm trying to be
sophisticated and swave with my dozen oysters.

 RM> Back at the counter, while I was paying, the owner/chef said to
 RM> me "I have to apologize, sir. I made a mistake while cooking
 RM> your crepes, and I didn't notice until it was all put together.
 RM> Instead of the Nile perch you ordered, I cooked crocodile."

  Was this in another life? Have you slipped a cog to the times of
Ramases II? Nile perch? Crocodile!

 RM> Not damned bad. It was obscured somewhat by the dressing, but
 RM> was very much like rather chewy fish. Recommended.

  You missed one of the greatest opportunities of all time. If that
had been me, I would have immediately vomitted in the till.

  You far north Qlders are strange...

  Nile perch? Is that anything like a cockie perch?

... FX: Pieces of eight! Pieces of eight! Awwk!
