Or on a dead man's chest?

They keep them in a 'mermaid's purse' which is the egg case of a shark or some other sea dweller. They are sometimes found on the beach, next year I'll try and find one with a comb and mirror in it .

In crevice in the rocks they sit on of course ?

Mermen? shock naughty!

rosequartz Sat 21-Nov-15 14:26:03

rosequartz Sat 21-Nov-15 14:25:40

Perhaps without the Vodka?

Blinking hell rosequartz!
After that lot I'd have thought she'd never be seen again!

Hangover cure? Hair of the dog(fish) of course smile

Aqua Seltzer, I should think...

I don't know, but the mermaid would be swimming around very happily after all that.

What do mermaids take for a hangover?

Ana Sat 21-Nov-15 13:14:25

Oh dear - did a Sprite have to be sacrificed for the making of this drink...? shock

Ariel was a spirit so she probably lived on whisky
Galen you're talking about the real one - I meant the Disney fictional one wink

Anyway, she looks as if she drinks this Mermaid Drink:
Ingredients
1 shot Amaretto
1 shot Curacao, blue
1 shot Gin
1/2 shot Liqueur, melon (Midori)
1 shot Rum, white
1 shot Tequila, white
1 shot Vodka
3 splashes Pineapple Juice
2 splashes Sour Mix
1 splash Sprite
Mixing Instructions
Shake ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Strain into glass. Garnish with Gummy Fish.

Note the splash of Sprite

Long before Disney I used to tell my DGDs an on-going saga about mermaids and their very favourite food in all the world was seaweed icecream.

Good point roses grin
I love those films regardless of Johnny

Mind you , have you seen the mermaids in The Pirates of the Carib? Blimey!
They would probably eat the sharks! grin

rosesarered Sat 21-Nov-15 12:29:46

Sharks?

Anya Sat 21-Nov-15 12:24:22

Are you telling us, Granny23 that the reason there are no old mermaids is because they all get eaten first?

Granny23 Sat 21-Nov-15 12:14:20

Or to twist it round - 'What Eats Mermaids?'.

Anya Sat 21-Nov-15 12:11:13

Or old ones.

What happens to the old ones? hmm

Anya Sat 21-Nov-15 12:10:36

You never see obese mermaids do you?

POGS Sat 21-Nov-15 11:57:05

Depends if they are cannibals I suppose.

Nooooooooo. Mermaids definitely don't.
