Floppy Slimy Thing...

Ok, I'm wired...... This happens to me when I go to the gym late in the day.... Dave & I went to Market Broiler and had dinner.  He ordered a dozen raw oysters for an appetizer. I've never had them before.  I thought hey what the hell, I am willing to give any food a shot at least once.
Once the oyster was in my mouth, I could feel the slimy thing flopping around as my tongue tried to aim it at my esophagus.  My throat closed up like a sphincter not allowing the oyster to slide down.  At that point I had to spit it out.  Dave was laughing uncontrollably about it.  Texture man, texture.  Tapioca, liver, & now oysters are all in the same category.  I think that part of it may be the realization of what oysters get their sustinance from.
