I’m not much into crab either

Tony asked,about 8 hours ago

Crab or lobster?

Shrimps. But I wouldn’t toss crab or lobster off my plate either. Preferably just dead from unnatural (violent) causes. Crustacean slaughter.

To Elliot: Lunch!

Elliot is being real crabby today!

Crab or lobster? Both, but both are out of my price range.

No wonder they shrieked. Elliot’s kinda young to have the crabs, isn’t he?

Steak and Lobster!!!

God, it’s only a crab, people. I’m surprised he was able to grab it. When I saw a crab on the beach and walked toward it, it kept running away.

At least m&ms are falling from the sky.

I used to catch all the blue crab I wanted back in the 60s, when I lived on the Chesapeake Bay in Hampton VA. Hampton High School’s football team was called The Crabbers. (You can’t crush a crab was part of one of their cheers.) My Dad warned me that they would, one day, fish the crabs into extinction. Considering how many I could catch in a day, I thought he was crazy. I told him it would be like getting rid of ants; almost impossible. Well he was right. They have had to have moratoriums on crabbing to keep them from going extinct. Destruction of their habitat hasn’t helped either.

That boy would have no fingers left

But Dad’s fair game.

Elliot, quit scaring the girls!
