    Absolutely nothing.

    I would expect that coming from a Grasshopper. 😁 Are you sure there were no famous bait shops around your birthplace?

    Well, come to think of it, my little town started the annual possum festival in the spring and continues to this day. We have possum kabobs, stew, soup, and hind shank BBQ cookoffs. Still mostly a local thing but maybe someday we get big time.

    My reading about the crabs just about shot coffee on my keyboard! 🤣


    I always thought a nearby town had that distinction!

    The city where "Jake" was locked up for sticking up a gas station to cover the group's room service tab for that Kiwanis gig in Falls City.
