The French like Mussels

Escargot, Mussels... am I becoming a seafood princess? Guess what. I like mussels. Now despite the look of them, they are delectable. Don't get me wrong, throughout most of the manging of this Alien look alike, it took a lot of muscle to swallow these mussels. Just like the escargot, you eat them in a specific way. After you finish one shell, you use it as a tool to pry out the next mussel. That probably was the most enjoyable part of the experience. The least enjoyable? No not the taste... the appearance of these sea dwelling monsters. They are dreadful looking. I had thoughts running through my head that they were only playing dead at the moment I ate them, so that they can join together in my stomach and emerge from belly button later and kill me in the process and probably whoever was with me at the time until Sigourney could come out of space and kill the little bugger.
I guess only time will tell.... I've only had one stomach ache today.
