Ah....I must be getting old or something. I used to kill live things for no reason but now I can't even put a crap into boiling water.



^^ sig material right there :laugh:

did the whole OP say crap instead of crab everywhere, or just in one spot?
if it was everywhere, holy shit that's epic. :D

Good grief, you should do it the way my mom does it.

Leave in the fridge for a while. When it's slowed down a bit, take your big chinese cleaver and whack it down the middle and crack it in half. You want to leave the shell in tact.

Then start whacking into smaller pieces.

Heck sometimes I don't think she even leaves it in the fridge. She just leaves it in the sink after buying it from the store, but out of water. Then WHACK.

Yes, he likes the biddy.

Haha, this thread has made my day. How do you hit 'p' instead of 'b' for the whole post? Oh, and crab/lobster brains get fried so fast in boiling water that it's not even that bad. Ever put a lobster into a boiling pot? They don't move around for long.

1: A LIVE CRAB
2: A LIVING CRAB

^ both of these are OK. your choice, however, is an abomination.

PS: did you you really type the thread out as original, title too? That is awesome, I give you a pass.
:D

from some random google link:

A 2005 Norwegian study reported that lobsters and crabs don't have the capacity to feel pain either. The British Guardian newspaper detailed the study's findings, explaining that lobsters and crabs have only about 100 thousand neurons. Many vertebrates have upwards of 100 billion.

If it just won't flush, though, I'd suggest just going old-school and digging a hole out in the yard somewhere and burying it.

(shrug)

I literally could not stop laughing at this post. I still am. This is a first for me on the internet, really. stomach hurts.

light your pubes on fire,
when the crab comes running out,
stab it with an icepick.

works every time.

So, when one steams their own crap, does it leave a crustacean on the inside of the pot?
