I always thought that they were the small fish that come up onto beaches to
spawn. Like in the Beverly Hillbillies episode when Granny thinks that
California is being invaded by them and leads the Clampet clan down to the
beach where she mistakes the surfer folks for them thar grunnions that are
invading the beaches of California. It must be Friday night if I am going
off on tangents like this.......
The truth of the matter is that I am in Spitfire withdrawal as my beast is
still under the knife.
