Shelly is sharp. Sharpest one among
them. Okay, she is an acquired taste, but if you like your dish to
the tooth, memorable, it doesn't get better than a plate full of
Shelly.
I'd never really considering thinking about people as being "al dente," but it does make perfect sense. Some our to our taste and others are not. Some are undercooked and some are overcooked, and some are perfectly "to the tooth."
This is wonderful. I have friends that are an acquired taste. I've been told that about myself. lol. Perhaps we all are just a bit. I love the usage of the prompt word.
I am quite certain that you didn't mean for this to happen but, after reading your post and viewing many of the comments, I can't believe that no one has mentioned Hannibal Lecter! I mean, really, Shelley is an acquired taste, a plate full of Shelley is delicious, etc. When I read all of these comments about people and eating, I am drawn back to one of the many scenery-chewing scenes in Silence of the Lambs, when Sir Anthony Hopkins describes for Jody Foster, what happened to the census taker who asked too many questions. http://youtu.be/G4qblq0uahw Thanks, as always, for creating the good work that you do. :)
Shelly seems interesting.. :-)

Tom, I hadn't thought of Hannibal, but you're right, it does fit.

ReplyDeleteGreat, original use of the prompt word! Fantastic job.
