The right way to pick up a crab is to say, “Hey, Phil. Pick up that crab.”

It seems a mighty a safe bet, Stoatie, that you’ve never cooked lobsters.

You would win that bet, Uncle All. I was devastated to learn the recipe.

Primitive man (er, vegetable that I am), I love crab. There is simply no better way to spend a nice summer evening than sitting at a picnic table that’s been covered with newspaper eating boiled blue crabs, hush puppies, and roasted corn, washing it all down with beer. For more formal occasions there are king crab legs…. or deep fried soft shell crab.

Oh, and when the Judge finally sends me to dat ‘lectric chair, Maryland Crab Cakes will definitely be on my appetizer list.

Pussy pilfering: Spike in the number of cat thefts around the UK. It’s up 40%. Lojac your cats!

I hate when sandwiches struggle to escape.

@Durnedyankee – Cutting the crust off slows them down a lot.

I grew up in Northern California, and a couple times a year we’d get over to the coast (the rocky northern part, not the beaches). On one occasion my father wanted to fish. I don’t remember what for or what he had on for bait, but I do remember that we eventually ended up standing on a rock, dropping the line straight down in the waves below, and then pulling it almost immediately back up, each time with a crab holding tight to try to get at the bait. We ended up with a bucket full.

Boy it stank when my mother cooked them on the stove in our little camper (and continued to, for days), but they were mighty tasty.

The idiots at HBO leaked the final two episodes of Game of Thrones on the internet. lol

That’ll teach those hacker/leakers!

I admit that I found one of them – epi 6 and it was pretty good. Hats off to the writers.

Crab beats lobster any day. They’re just aquatic spiders with a nervous system about as well developed as Maxine Waters’, so have at ’em, I say.

My brother saw someone try to cook a live lobster on a grill. Put him right off, he said.
