It has become a Pier Rat tradition to always treat
ourselves to a nice healthy breakfast out on the pier.
You know how fishing can make you hungry and just about
anything tastes good when your hungry. Since the only
"hot" food around is pier dogs, (aka Hot Dogs) they seem
to suffice nicely. Well, until that one day:
We had just pulled the all nighter and the sun had just
came up on the Juno Beach Pier. Our stomachs were
growling, so I sent Big Kev up to the shack to pick up
some hot dogs. When he returned he had this really big
grin on his face and was carrying a cardboard soda box
with our hot dogs and drinks in it. I said to him,
"What's the grin for?" He looked at me, tilted the box
towards me and asked me how I wanted my "Scorpion Dogs."
I looked into the box and there wrapped neatly up in a
napkin was a cooked scorpion. You heard right a
scorpion! And it was dead and cooked. It had apparently
crawled into the hot dog cooker with our dogs and hadn't
managed to live to see the other side. Too funny. Now I
always have my "Scorpion dogs" extra crispy with mustard
and relish. How do you like your scorpion dogs?
Let me know....I'm taking orders! (LOL)
