robbalvey Posted July 12, 2006 Author Posted July 12, 2006 Who would've dreamed this thread could possibly be resurrected? If anyone's interested, next week's "Dirty Jobs" features a "Geoduck Farmer" among others, and is appropriately titled "Geoduck Farmer" (wow, creative). It'll be on Discovery at 9:00 PM, next Wed., July 18th. Enjoy! I know I'm marking my calendar... Wow! Awesome! Elissa, be sure to set the Tivo! --Robb "Still scared of that thing....the Tivo, not the GeoDuck!" Alvey
Luxo Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 Aww, no love for the poor little geoduck? It just wants to have a steady home and a loving family... I just remembered Julie's photoshop of Barry riding a Geoduck

thomas2 Posted October 20, 2007 Posted October 20, 2007 OMG this 'animal' has a life expectancy of about 146 years, with the oldest recorded at over 160 years. Seriously this is the most screwed up animal ever IMO!
spaceace12 Posted October 20, 2007 Posted October 20, 2007 On a episode of Dirty Jobs, Mike Roe Planted, Harvested, cleaned, and ate Geoducks. Talk about dirty and gross to eat.
bobafett Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 You had to remind me of that awful looking thing. I think I'm gonna go vomit now.
RIP Psyclone Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 Here's something to give everyone nightmares:
Satchboogie3 Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 Those are some unusually long Geoducks, they generally don't get that long. Geoduck is a pretty cool clam. It can be very tasty if used the right way. I love peoples reaction the first time they see one! I wonder if anyone here has ever heard of/seen a black chicken. Yes, black chicken as in the meat and bones are black. There is even an Indonesian breed that is completely black (feathers, beak, eyes, feet, mouth, meat, bones, etc). They taste similar to regular chicken, but can be a bit more tough if not prepared well. They are natural anti-oxidants, so they are healthy and great to use in a stew.
bgeguy Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 This is how they "catch" them http://www.cybique.com/Duckumentary/images/DadDigging(old)2.jpg
