    Its a plastic card (usually blue) with a chip inside that you can use to pay for public transport in London. See here.

    Ah, okay.

    I thought it was some frequent-dining promotional card from Long John Silvers.

    Which remind me, I would really like some hush puppies right now.

    I was wondering how you could possibly shuck an oyster with a card.


    Mmmmmm.....hush puppies. I might just have to break out the deep fryer this weekend.

    All joking aside, that sucks, and I hope Nancarrow finds it. Failing that, I see from the website it's possible to register them in case of loss or theft. I hope you did that (knowing that I probably wouldn't)

    There was this restaurant, I don't remember the name and don't remember where, but they had the best hush puppies in the history of the WORLD. It was south of here. Or maybe it was Cleveland.

    Now I want hush puppies, too.

    The best hush puppies in the world are served in North Carolina. Especially the ones at Bridges BBQ in Shelby. They look more like corndogs than normal hush puppies, but they have just the right texture and seasoning. Perfect for dipping into the sauce and munching.

    Hush puppies are marvelous! Truly what the gods eat at their BBQs. Although, originally, they were leftover batter, fried up and tossed to the dogs to quiet them down. But they've mutated over the years into corny delight.

    Does the oyster card have debit card functionality? Because, if accepted, it could be used to purchase hush puppies.

    You know what would really rock?

    A hush-puppy stand called "The Fucking Oyster".

    It would only sell hush puppies, deep-fried Twinkies, and Cherry Dr. Pepper.

    I refuse to have anything to do with the Fucking Oyster unless it also serves beer. Beer and hushpuppies are just made for each other.

    (Besides, I figure this is the perfect thread for drunken posting tonight - so we definitely need more beer in here.)

    If we add beer to the Fucking Oyster menu, it can only be one type of one brand.

    Say, Genesee Cream Ale...or something else cheap and poundable.

    I've lost my Oyster Card too, but that's not too bad as I doubt I'm going to be in London any time soon. More annoying is the loss of my Pass Navigo, and I'm in Paris at the end of the month!

    Can't you just ask the police to kindly look through their vast stockpile of surveillance camera data for a recording of where you lost it and what subsequently happened to it? After all the BS about how putting everyone under 24/7 government observation would make their lives so much better, it would be nice to see them actually do so.

    You know, kind of like having an elder brother who's looking out for you.

    Well fair enough that the thread was hijacked, I didn't exactly put much effort into it. And I've never been responsible for even the teensiest intarwebz meme, so please do all continue to visit The Fucking Oyster as often as you can (thankyou Oliveloaf), and I shall take some comfort in that.

    I don't think it fell out of my pocket on the bus. I normally keep it in a card holder with about 15 other cards in there. There is now precisely one empty slot in it where The Fucking Oyster Card should be. How do these things happen? There remains the possibility that it is in my flat. My flat is a 3x4m room with a little shower room and 'hallway' (space for a front door to open) attached. But, most of those 3x4m are taken up with piles of paperwork, bags of rubbish, laundry in various states of cleanliness, books, files, dirty dishes. I suppose I should clean up.

    Needless to say I did not register it to protect against loss. Fortunately it's pay-as-you-go and only had maybe a fiver of credit left on it, so I'm not bankrupted or at risk of extortion or identity theft as far as I know. But I'll be fucked if I have to pay £2 for a bus ride for much longer. And the tube can certainly go fuck itself til I find that card. Except, oh shit, I must go to college on Monday to hand in some coursework! And I can't spend time looking for the card! As I've hardly started the coursework yet! And I'm posting here! Fuck!

    I've also had a couple of days of fever and a week of the shits. So I'm not a terribly happy bunny. But typing the word 'fuck' repeatedly does seem to ease the pain.

    If it helps you, I lost my ID badge today.
    But the lady still gave me a discount on my food cuz I was sweet about it.

    And then I found my ID badge 13 minutes later in the hallway where I first entered the building.
    Perhaps this will help you in some way. Keep the Faith, OysterSoulBrother!
