crustacean.

fourth of july was quite an educational day.
i learned a lot about crabs:

1. when making selections at the market you sort of have to trick them because the little buggers will play dead knowing that you want the live ones. and then i went through so much trouble getting them into the bag that i might as well have gone out and caught them straight from the ocean.

2. female crabs will hold each other down in a pot of boiling water whereas male crabs will work together in order to escape impending doom.

3. female crabs cost more because they taste better.

now, fact number three was unveiled at the dinner table, consisting of four gay women, a straight man, and a fourteen year old who was too busy de-shelling her meal to hear, nor grasp the humor in that statement.
