Good luck shuck

Hasse Johannesson opened 30 oysters in 2 minutes and 41 seconds to win Saturday's world oyster-opening competition:

Damage to the oyster's flesh, failure to detach it from the shell, grit or traces of human blood mean penalties for the knife-wielding competitors who have come from 16 other countries.

I loved that "traces of human blood" part.

The Mets were actually leading the competition from the start and had a comfortable lead, but something went horribly wrong in the final seconds and the Swede passed them and won.

Which reminds me, happy birthday Gavin!
