Default Oh no ... crabs!!!

My neighbour has just come back from the weekly fishing trip downtown & given me a bag of crabs!! (claws & other bits) ............... they scare me he might as well have given me a bag of Tarantulas!!
Any ideas what I could do with them or is that question just asking for trouble

Until bazzz comes along, might I recommend an antibiotic?

Honestly, bl**dy pervs in here!!


BH lived in a small town whose economy revolved around the crab seafood industry. One day she went and purchased an awesome new crabbing boat, the only problem was it wasn't crab season but she thought 'stuff it' and went out to catch some crabs anyway. BH was out on the water all day but only caught one crab, she was shattered, all of a sudden the water police pulled up out of nowhere and said " What do you think you're doing catching crabs, it isn't even crab season?
BH responded "I'm not catching crabs"..
The water police said "What do you call that then?" pointing at the crab BH caught.
"Oh" BH said "Thats my pet homing crab"
The police officer getting mad said "b*llsh*t I'm giving you a $500 fine"
BH said "Hang on, I'll prove it, I'll put my homing crab in the water and a minute later he'll swim back to me"
The police officer agrees so BH puts the crab in the water.......
a few minutes go by and the police officer growls "OK where is the crab"
BH says "What crab?"





Two crabs were sunbathing on the beach.
The girl crab suggested that the boy crab go get them an ice cream cone.

Having purchased two cones, Mr crab made his way back to the beach, deciding on the way to eat his ice cream. By the time he had finished the ice cream, he realized that his girlfriend's had started to melt all down his claw, so he licked it up and ended up eating it too.

When he arrived back at the beach Ms crab exclaimed "Where's my ice cream cone?

"Well", he said. "I decided to eat mine, then yours melted so I ate that too."

She was incensed and cried "You shellfish bastard!!"



It's probably best that I stop now .......




Some crab photos (still dunno what to do with them tho)

My husband did a favour for a friend once and as a thank you gave him two lobsters. They were in a bag and he just handed them to me when he came in. I was horried when I looked inside to see they were actually still alive!!!!

Eventually after much debating as to the best way to despatch them, they were cooked but I had to put them in the freezer for quite a while before I could bring myself to eat them.
