Yum...happy huntin'

It's been dumping snow up in the mountains the last 48 hours. Might be skiing in another week or so. But it is very warm out there this evening. The weather folks are saying that we may see quite a storm tomorrow.

If I was a razor clam digger, my tool of choice from your
website would probably be the "Clam Gun".

kamperswest.com

I gotta few reasons.

Here they are:

1. It's called a "Clam Gun". It just sounds tougher.

Sounds like you are the mighty clam hunter tracking down
a beast of a calm or a Wolly Mollusk if you are using a
Clam Gun.


If you are using a shovel, it sounds like you are playing
in the sand. Building castles or something.

Not so with a clam gun. Your are hunting for Razorback Quahogs!

2. The Clam Gun looks like something I could build out of
stuff around the house. Sort of an arts and crafts type of
thing. Basically it's a tube 4 inches in diameter with a
closed top with a small hole that you plug with your thumb
as you extract the sand and clam. Almost like the tool
they use to cut golf ball holes on the putting green.

It looks like something that could be built out of PVC or
pipe with an end cap similar to a waste line clean out cap.

I bet Martha Stewart has one.

3. Now you can really build some tall sand castles, yet no
one will think that's what you are doing since it's obvious
that you are a mighty hunter with a clam gun.

4. The rest of the year when you are not out clamming it
can be used as an attractive flower pot or something. Or
use it to plant tulip bulbs in the soft moist dirt.

5. Nobody ever got themselves accidentally killed by using
their Clam Gun.

Actually one guy came close to getting himself killed after
accidentally digging with it over the crotch area of a
large man who buried himself half way while at the sunning
at the beach.

That object was not the clams foot if ya get my drift.

That big man chased him down the entire length of the beech
while yelling all sorts of bad words.
