Tumble posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABh-0w_Ist8 He mentions that in the introduction to the 2017 printing of 'Night of the Crabs'. And sweet Christ how isn't this man more well known in the "so poo poo it's great" community. I'm sure he is in people that follow paperbacks, but god drat. I would love to see a movie of these. Check out the introduction of the main antagonist of 'Night of the Crabs': "King Crab! Nobody could have doubted the latest arrival's right to rule. Half as big again as the rest of those nightmarish creatures, this one was the very personification of evil. It waddled slowly to the front of the others, its pincers waving menacingly as though defying any one of them to challenge its authority. Some of them moved back, huddling together." Truly the most horrible of monsters; able to be the very personification of evil, while waddling slowly. Crabs are very cool creatures.

Saw some 2700 year old crabs yesterday, including some eating fishes.  Crab fandom may predate history...

Went down to the water and found a poor kelp crab.  He had a rough day was missing both claws and a leg. Put him back in the water. Hope he makes it!

Occasionally when I had duty on the ship and I ate bone-in chicken for dinner or whatever, I would tie a line to the chicken bones and drop em into the water from the pier. The next morning when I pulled it up, they would be picked clean

actually what I really need is some kind of kelp based aquarium do kelp grow more than like 30 feet tall? it'd be sweet to have one that went from your attic to basement of course it could be somewhat difficult to clean

Feel each line for tension and if one is holding, slowly and gently reel it in until you see the crab and scoop it from the bottom with a hand net. In between takes, you scout the pilings for any crabs molting and hope you can dip out a soft boy or two to fry up.

I went camping this weekend and ran across one of these dudes. His body was about the size of my fist and he was super neat. This is a picture from the internet though because my phone was super dead.

Here's a pic of a Tasmanian King crab and a Japanese spider crab, I think these are the two worlds heaviest crabs, Japanese one is heaviest. Pic info says Shedd Aquarium in Chicago. I think they are buds   Kharnifex fucked around with this message at 12:24 on Mar 27, 2018 |

We finally got a student assistant which means our animals are no longer being neglected because we don't have time to do it. This week, Cedella, Ky-Mani, and Ziggy finally got a fresh tank with new sand. The old one was filthy! Now they're happily climbing around and being super chill instead of hiding under their disgusting log because there was nowhere to go without walking all over their own poo poo.  (Sorry for the black square. My lab coat has my workplace's logo on it)

Mak0rz posted:We finally got a student assistant which means our animals are no longer being neglected because we don't have time to do it. Those are some happy looking crabbos! I can't WAIT to move out of our apartment and into a bigger place so I can get something larger than a 10 gallon for my 6 hermits. It's too small for that many crabs, and Jojo alone requires a lot more substrate to molt in than I can provide in a 10 gallon, while still making it a suitable crabitat for the others. I was actually thinking about using a plain old 5-gallon bucket as a molting enclosure since it can be filled much deeper, its opaque so it provides more darkness for them to feel comfortable, and it's super cheap.

Geez we only have three in this 25gal'er and it's still a little crowded in there. It's mostly the sticks though. Caribbean hermies like to climb.
