The damn shrimp industry is at it again.

The first one is free. Then, before you know it, some disreputable dude on a dark street corner is trying to sell you shrimp after you've already lost your car, your house, and mortgaged a kidney. And all for another shrimp.

Yesterday I had Crown Seats behind home plate at Kauffman Stadium. They moved the game up from a 7:05 start to a 3:30 start, so I had to haul ass to meet up with my pals. We got in during the first inning and ate dinner first. The food is unbelievable, and they had cajun shrimp...big, hot tasty cajun shrimp. I love shrimp, its one of my favorite foods. I ate a LOT of shrimp, then waddled out to watch the game around the 4th inning. Royals were up 7-0 before I sat down. BTW: If you've never done the Crown Seats,make it a bucket list thing. You MUST do it if you love Royals baseball.

Shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich, cocaine shrimp. That- that's about it.

Sooo oysters make you horny and shrimp makes you party?
