I’m allergic to shrimp. Nevertheless, I’ve been obsessed with Giant Shrimp Day ever since Karen brought a Long John Silver’s press release to my attention:

Long John Silver’s President Steve Davis sent a personal letter to NASA Administrator Sean O’Keefe, congratulating NASA on their discovery.

“We’ve been following the Mars Exploration project since the beginning,” Davis wrote, “and we’ve been anxiously awaiting word of evidence of an ocean on Mars. The rovers have been extremely busy since they arrived on Mars – they’ve had ‘plenty of things on their plate.’ Now, with the discovery of ocean water, America can add one more thing to its plate – free Giant Shrimp.”

Davis ended the letter by writing, “This is one small step for man, and one giant leap for Giant Shrimp.” He also again expressed interest in Long John Silver’s becoming the first seafood restaurant on Mars.

Are the actual restaurants as surreal and creepy as the website? I refer you to the Pirate Fun page as evidence.

My hands are killing me today, so that’s all you get. I’ve been working on some pretty amazing stuff though, so keep checking back for details. You won’t want to miss it!
