Re: Blanche sounds like somebody stepping on a box of Rice Krispies (m)
in reply to a message by RoxStar
I'm trying to imagine the sounds that would result from someone stepping on a box of Rice Krispies hard, but none of them are making me think of Blanche. Blanche makes me think of nails on a chalkboard. That's cliched, however, and not funny as is the Rice Krispies reference.
Now did you know that frozen maggots look like Rice Krispies? I know that from painful personal experience. I haven't been a Rice Krispie fan since.

I didn't know that...
I've never seen frozen maggots. I have heard that ice-fishermen buy ordinary maggots for bait and when they freeze while they're out on the ice the fishermen put them in their mouths to thaw them enough to put on the hook. But I've never lived where ice got thick enough for ice fishing, so never actually saw one. For which I am very grateful.

Yes, it's something you should be grateful for. My story of how I ended up seeing frozen maggots involves a vacation home which had not been inhabited for several months, a power outage, and a freezer full of meat. The thought of putting them in my mouth? *GAG* It was bad enough just disposing of them.
