Frosty Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 The original version was "Happy as a clam at high tide" -- i.e., safe from clamdiggers and other predators. Makes sense though I was hoping for a more entertaining etymology. We must have mighty happy clams with Cook Inlet tides.Thanks, Frosty The Lucky.

Charles R. Stevens Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I'm with Frosty, but if you dont think a socket in a stump is good enugh, one peice of angle and a "C" clamp or two will do the trick (bolt the angle to the stump) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone answered, "The chilling sound of clam laughter has caused many fishermen to quit the sea." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
