I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO excited! I just received my prize for best caption. I received these lovely original linocut prints from the Fabulous @Bobby Rico and his Mrs. I love them all, but must admit the coelacanth is my favorite. I can't wait to get them framed. Thank you so much Bobby! 

 

 

My artwork just arrived today - woohoo!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE them - they're fantastic!!!!!!!!!!

My favourite is the Anomalocaris (maybe because Viola and I inspired it with the contest we ran during the summer ).

Thank you SO SO SO much, Bobby and Mrs. Rico!!!!!!!!!!

That is insane! Fresh water? I imagine myself as an 8 year old playing in a creek near our house catching crawdads and playing with them. If we saw a 3 to 4 inch one it was huge. If I’d seen that thing crawling in the creek I’d have had nightmare and would not have wanted to go near the creek again. I would probably not be a fossil hunter today. Thank God they don’t have them like that where I grew up.

 

Of course knowing my dad he probably would have made us kids spears to carry with us and teach us to skewer the things with them. Then I’d be an Amazon type woman hunting fossils with a spear. Oh my imagination can come up with all kinds of scenarios.

@snolly50 that is impressive! I have never heard/seen anyone play sax out of both sides of their mouth. If that doesn't lift our Bobby's spirits, nothing will.

I miss you having you posting around the place, but don't want you to worry until you're all well again. 

Mrs Rico will prove to be an excellent shoe-filler, I'm sure.

Thank you Mrs. Rico for stepping in and giving us an update.

@Bobby Rico be strong and get better. Listen to what the wife says or she may delete your account and you will have to start over with a new post - “show ups your plastic dinosaurs- Redue Version”, and you don’t want to do that. Take care and can’t wait to see you posting soon.

You gotta get better because... well, I can't imagine this without you. Hi Mrs. Rico. Thanks for the update. Do you think Bobby would like some fresh jazz?  

 

Glad to see Bob is better and back again.

Ketchup?!  What planet did you say you were from?

Crayfish are like mini lobsters. Would you go into a fine restaurant and ask for ketchup for your lobster?  You'd be tossed out and forbidden to return!

The mere thought, agh!!!

 

Also known as crawdads. 

I bought Marmite today, does it fit with lobsters ?

No, no, no.

I'd never resort to putting ketchup on lobster or even crayfish. 

But ketchup goes very well with plastic.

Like the cheese they put in burgers, for example.

OK, I'll bite.  What is Marmite?

It's a British yeast extract with a unique and very strong and bitter flavour, it comes out of the pot (see post above) black or sort of very, very dark brown. 

One eats it on toast, in sandwiches with cheese, or it can be used in meat sauces and gravy. 

It's advertised with the slogan, "Marmite - You either love it or you hate it!" 

No ones in between. I love it, and so does Sophie, it would seem. 

They have a similar product in Australia called Vegimite, but it's not the same flavour.

Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six-foot-four and full of muscles
I said, "do you speak-a my language?"
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich

The first time i went in England (Bristol), i had it with beans, peas and meat, like a sauce and its flavour fitted well so i'm in the "love it" camp. My brother had it on toasts and, well,... he hates it. One of my cousin lived about one year in London, i hear he sometimes had it on toasts for his breakfast and, well, i didn't hear him saying he hated it, so, i guess he loved it.
