Ben loves the Freep

That's what we call our local newspaper. He's been selling lots of his hunting stuff lately through the classified ads...that money goes to his hobby fund which he then uses to buy more expensive hunting stuff.

He put an ad in the paper to sell a goose blind and a muzzleloader and after the goose blind was sold he called them and asked them to remove the goose blind information and add some extra information about the muzzleloader. The results of the highly paid employee in the classified division of the Freep:

The amusing part is that when I searched Google images with the words "mussel loader" the only thing that came up were gory hunter-with-dead-prey photos so this employee is apparently not unique in his ignorance of hunting terms.

What comes to mind for me when I see the words "Mussel Loader" is some sort of catapult contraption for flinging mussels...you know, Monty Python style!

It makes me want to go quahogging!

Okay, I confess I had to look "quahogging" up, because I didn't know what it meant... Racking the bottom of a body of water for clams?

Yup, that's what it is! And strangely, it's pronounced
"co-hogging".

I guess it's a Maine thing.

Take me co-hogging Beth! I hate sandy disgusting chewy slimy mussels but the process sounds sort of interesting.

I figured out what it meant from this cartoon:
