I think when you use them for that you have to get all fancy schmancy and call it lamprey pie.
Is this some kind of cleansing of the soul ritual? Or does she capture the eels to make eel pie?
They use electric eels, then, in a lamprey pie?
Good question. I couldn't get past the idea of eating an eel to actually look up a recipe. *shudder*
How does Flake catch the eels?
You'd have to ask her. I get squirmy just thinking about it. I was emotionally scarred as a child from all the eels I would catch when fishing. I'm surprised I have vocal chords left from all the screaming I would do when I'd lift the line out of the water and there would be an eel slithering on the end. *shudder*
This means that Dreamcatcher is probably not your favorite sK book, I assume.
No, and reading it was a bit uncomfortable having those mental images in my head.
I'm with you here. I caught a good size one in the Connecticut River one night after dark and the damn thing coiled itself right up and around my arm. I think they heard me over in Vermont.
Maybe we should just stick to keeping the lamprey pie in the Game of Thrones books.
I didn't realize how likely some people are to catch lampreys.
Good lord, I just looked at a picture of a lamprey. Do you know how insane I would be if something like that latched onto me.
I need to get out more, this actually made me snort!
Henry I died from eating too many lampreys, no word on whether they were normal lampreys or high-powered lampreys. Lest you think I'm a super-genius, I learned that from doing crossword puzzles.
As to the original topic, a friend was in a car accident while talking to me on her cell phone. It was a minor fender-bender, and no one was hurt. Also, it was not her fault, the other car ran a stop sign. But it was still unnerving. This is basically how it went, "I told Susie that I would pick up Tommy if she could get Joey when she got the twins after band, so I'm on my way to the soccer field for the third time today---what? Wait! No no no no no, YOU stop! Oh MAN! I have to call you back..."

That was my first gut question too...
The original topic of this discussion reminded me of something very upsetting I saw the other day. I saw the driver of an emergency vehicle (ambulance) texting, the car was stoped at a stop light and obviously not active in an emergency situation at the time;but it was still very upsetting to see.
