While reading Steve's great Evergroove Trivia stories, a story of my own keeps knocking at my mind and insisting on being told, so I'll concede and write it. Mid 1990s or so, I'm at TESC, enjoying my studies. One day on a break during some sort of group activity, several of us fell into chit chat, nothing important being said, just idle conversation. Somehow we ended up talking about food poisoning. Stories of various food poisoning episodes were shared, we laughed a lot and competed to tell the worst story. I piped up with my story of getting very sick on clam chowder, two different times at two different restaurants in Port Townsend. I said that both times I felt like I was gonna die. Before I could start the next sentence, one of my fellow class members pronounced sternly......"You should have.".My brilliant response was "Huh?". He continued. "You should have. Died. You should have died. Clams are fellow living creatures with souls.......". My ability to hear and comprehend somehow switched off I guess in shock. The group of us were walking up stairs at this point, he was ahead and half turned towards me. He wasn't smiling. He wasn't doing a parody of anyone. He really meant it. I should have died.
