References
- The sentence "with its big sharp pointy teeth" might be a reference to the "killer rabbit" from Monty Python & the Holy Grail.
- "Clams got legs" is possibly a reference to "The Story of Reuben Clamzo & His Strange Daughter in the Key of A," a rambling tall tale by Arlo Guthrie about giant clams with feet.
- "Clams got legs" is more likely a reference to a character in the BC comic by Johnny Hart who was always trying to catch clams walking around.
- "Looks like it's as happy as itself." is a reference to the phrase "Happy as a clam at high tide", which is often shortened to just "Happy as a clam".
- Mussels are another type of aquatic life similar to clams. The fumble message uses them as a pun on "muscles".
