If this "skrimp" thing seems confusing to some of you, as I recall it started several years ago (probably on that "other," now deceased forum) when someone called Tommy on a spelling error/typo. Being true to his stubborn Italian roots, he refused to admit anything and avowed that "skrimp" was what he had written and "skrimp" it would be forever. We continue to humor him out of respect for his almost perfect wife (who only misses because of her fondness for eating charcoal instead of meat).
... and that's (most of) the rest of the story.
