a turtle who believed giant crabs or colossal crustaceans as he called them were plotting to take over the world After wrapping up the last interview Nibbles said she had a big announcement coming up But first a word from our sponsor Music played over a logo for a restaurant called Clamm o Bamm o Alakazamm o Nibbles spoke quickly as she read the advertisement Got a hankerin for a magical meal Scurry hurry and slither on over to Clamm o Bamm o Alakazamm o home of the famous giant fried clam strips with Bamm OMG dipping sauce You'll wow at more than your food magician Ottavio the O mazing will make you say WHAT A picture of an otter wearing a cape flashed across the screen Don't be shellfish bring your friends to Clamm o Bamm o Alakazamm o the clammiest spot in Marsh Market Magic said Nick wearing a disgusted expression What a way to ruin a meal 5
