- I've only had blue crab -- nm - Dano Feb 14, 06:18
- Snow -- nm - Ultron Feb 13, 21:15
- Dungeoness...only it sounds like what Pippy is doing right now :)))) -- nm - Peglegpete Feb 13, 21:12
- Dungeness for sure -- nm - Beryllium Grey Feb 13, 21:03 2
  - I should've asked my mom to bring some from Halifax -- nm - Beryllium Grey Feb 13, 21:06 1
    - ... some LOBSTER, I mean -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 23:14
- Dungeoness is the only crab that interests me, prawns, lobster I can take or leave... -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 13, 20:55 1
  - It's the sweetest tastiest crab by far. -- nm - Bacon Feb 13, 20:56
"last minute Halloween gifts", I explained to the cashier on the night before Valentines Day. -- nm - Beryllium Grey Feb 13, 20:39
So, great week, bad week: Ronan is 1 month old today, and doing very well! -- nm - Scots-IrishStephen Feb 13, 20:23 35
- I'm confused. When exactly does Ronan become exactly 1 Ronan? - Qale Feb 13, 20:48 1
  - As soon as he's old enough to learn the way of the samurai! - Scots-IrishStephen Feb 13, 20:51
- Nice! -- nm - Beryllium Grey Feb 13, 20:40 1
  - The post was indeed nice until he posted a sequel -- nm - Bacon Feb 13, 20:41
- ugh, sfek: bad: Ashlee had another myoclonic jerk that they're treating as a seizure, so her license will be suspended for 4 months... - Scots-IrishStephen Feb 13, 20:28 30
  - Boo! -- nm - Beryllium Grey Feb 13, 20:41
  - Very sorry. Is there a closer preschool? -- nm - Ultron Feb 13, 20:34 7
    - Unfortunately, there isn't. The nearest one is like ten miles away. - Scots-IrishStephen Feb 13, 20:38 6
      - Weren't you the person that posted that video of you parking 2 miles away from the school? -- nm - Bacon Feb 13, 20:53 3
        
        I don't know that it was two miles, but yeah, that was on the first day of school for Connor this year, and it was a bit of a hike. -- nm - Scots-IrishStephen Feb 13, 20:56 2
        
        That was indeed far -- nm - Bacon Feb 13, 20:57 1
        
        Sounds like a Chicago little league situation! -- nm - Ultron Feb 13, 21:51
      - Ugh. Amy had foot surgery and can not drive for a week. Will be taking her to/from work starting tomorrow morning. - Ultron Feb 13, 20:40 1
        
        Yup, more so for the person that can't drive, but it sucks for the person that can still drive, too! -- nm - Scots-IrishStephen Feb 13, 20:58
  - My StepDad had a seizure a week ago (lives in Livermore) and his license pulled for 6 months. Never had one before. - Bacon Feb 13, 20:31 20
    - Yeah, her first seizure resulted in a 6 month suspension too. And, it will get better tomorrow, we're going to a work event Crab Feed! - Scots-IrishStephen Feb 13, 20:35 18
      - Crab is always the cure! I passed up on $4.99 King Crab Legs at Safeway because of my diet :( - Bacon Feb 13, 20:39 17
        
        you are supposed to buy it, deshell it and freeze the crab. $4.99 is stupidly low for what is normally $16.99-20 a pound. -- nm - Peglegpete Feb 13, 20:41 16
        
        THIS!!! -- nm - Ultron Feb 13, 20:44 2
        
        Now I feel worse!! -- nm - Bacon Feb 13, 20:46 1
        
        don't feel bad. now you know what to do when you see silly low prices. -- nm - Peglegpete Feb 13, 21:09
        
        The first part of your post is indeed true. I didn't even think about freezing it. However, in Oregon the cost is about 12.99 a lb at the most -- nm - Bacon Feb 13, 20:43 12
        
        That's still pricey. $45 per person for all you can eat crab, and it's going to a great cause! We're taking my dad too, he's beyond excited. -- nm - Scots-IrishStephen Feb 13, 20:47 10
        
        Man, the first time I ever had snow crab was spring break in the Florida. All you can eat, at a bar. - Ultron Feb 13, 20:50 8
        
        One of my best memories from the Army was during an annual training when we were up in Washington with our boats and went crabbing. - Scots-IrishStephen Feb 13, 20:54 6
        
        If you ever come up my way. The coast is 90 minutes and we crab off of a dock or rent an aluminum boat. On a bad day we catch a dozen, on a good day - Bacon Feb 13, 20:58 5
        
        Nice, and, hell yeah, if we ever get up that way I'll take you up on that! - Scots-IrishStephen Feb 13, 21:21 1
        
        Your boys would have a blast! -- nm - Bacon Feb 13, 21:53
        
        *twitch* -- nm - Ultron Feb 13, 21:15
        
        I need to try this. My saltwater license is good until the end of March, iirc -- nm - Beryllium Grey Feb 13, 21:07 1
        
        Oh wow. We can get them without a license. Do need a tag for razor clams though. Limit 10 a day on those -- nm - Bacon Feb 13, 21:13
        
        Awesome! That story has all the man needs. Seafood, woman, beer, tropics -- nm - Bacon Feb 13, 20:52
        
        YUMMY!! Your Dad and situation has always reminded me of mine. Spoil him! - Bacon Feb 13, 20:49
        
        Almost any time of the year you can find it for 9.99 a lb here -- nm - Bacon Feb 13, 20:44

Someone is racing a motorbike through the apartment complex and have been doing so for an hour. It's not wrong that I want them to wipe out, right? - Qale Feb 13, 19:46 4
- I think that's natural within ten seconds; after an hour it might be time to start conspiring. -- nm - Beryllium Grey Feb 13, 19:48 3
  - As pothole riddled the parking lot is, I'm kind of shocked it hasn't happened naturally. -- nm - Qale Feb 13, 20:00 2
    - time to string a chain across the path at about chest high -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 13, 20:58 1

  - off the top of my head I'll guess Rush Hour for August. -- nm - Max Feb 13, 19:25 12
    - Rush hour is September. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 13, 19:51
    - bingo! saved me from searching, thanks! -- nm - b. Feb 13, 19:27 10

        January was 30mil and that was Star Wars re-release. Now it's 100mil with Sniper. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 13, 19:52 1
        
        ah, yah, january was always kind of a dumping ground, too, for new films vs. those that had platformed before the new year + holiday leggies. -- nm - b. Feb 13, 19:56

        agreed. this seasons writing is close to dreadful. except for Molly Quinn....spoils - Peglegpete Feb 13, 19:24 7
        
        I'm assuming the leads can't stand each other and the writers aren't inspired to treat them well as a result. -- nm - Max Feb 13, 19:29 1
        
        that's been the rumor (or at least blind items) since early on, though; and it's never been as bad as this season's worsts. maybe they're just tired. -- nm - b. Feb 13, 19:37
