   If you’ve had “clam” (mirugai) at a sushi restaurant, you have had a slice of geoduck.

   I’ve never had Geoduck (pronounced “gooey-duck” I understand) but I once ate several bearded clam off of the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay. (No one believes me when I tell them what THEY look like, and I can’t even find a photo to prove it…)

   However if you do a web search for a photo of the formaldehyde jar that the Russians claim holds Rasputin’s severed pickled penis, I swear it looks more to me like a goiduck (alternate spelling…).

   They say the meaty shaft can reach up to six feet in length, and is prized as a savory delicacy in certain parts of Asia.

   I chuckled to myself when I read that they survived by “sucking plankton and algae”. It made them sound like some sort of bottom-feeding gigolo.

   Geoduck (pronounced guey duck) are awesome. You can find them in Asian supermarkets and in the Seattle area, you get them fresh served lots of ways. Great tasting things if rather ugly before slicing.

   I should have known Bacchus would have a photo at the ready…

   I don’t suppose you can dig up (no pun intended) a photo of the elusive bearded clam…

   Or maybe one of your readers knows of one?

   Do a web search? We don’t need no stinkin’ websearch!

   Google is probably your friend — I didn’t know “bearded clam” was anything but derogatory slang for a vagina.

   Oh my. It really does look like a giant duck penis.

   Sometimes I think Mother Nature has a rather adolescent sense of humor. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. I mean, I think farts will always make me laugh.

   I saw this picture in the Weekly World News.
   Some scientist inserted the DNA of John Holmes
   into Donald Duck.

   Honest.

    My alma mater, The Evergreen State College in Olympia, WA, has the geoduck as its mascot (which just goes to show how seriously they take competitive sports). The “Geoduck Fight Song” is not to be missed:

    I still can’t find it, but Bacchus I swear bearded clam was not only on the menu, but I had some! (And you would not have believed the resemblance to the female anatomy…). A Google search did turn up THIS interesting item though. Apparently there is also a white geoduck called an “elephant’s trunk” or shiromirugai (shiromiru for short), also known as namigai.

    Turns out real duck penis isn’t necessarily all that much less scary.
