In which we all learn an important lesson about Physics.

Remember that crabbing story I posted two summers ago, about my adventures in crabbing with a novice boat captain (i.e. my BFF's new husband, Nick ( Read more... )

You're absolutely right...we still give Nick shit about losing his *shoe* in the Bay from that last story I linked to. No way he'll ever be allowed to forget this incident for ever a SECOND. Ha!

Yep yep...Jackie was asking me if I'd told Nick while he was bailing out the boat that the eels grow louder right before they're about to feed on HUMAN FLESH!! Unfortunately, I was too pissed off to think of movie quotes right then. ;)

I just wanted to use this icon pic b/c it will never be more appropriate again as long as I shall live. :-)

Hahahahaha! I love that instead of immediately yelling to stop the boat when he thought you were overboard he starts scrambling for excuses. Ai yi yi!

BAD NICK! No beer!

It was pretty funny, actually...almost as funny as when I scared him so bad, I made him drool. :D

Well, making men drool from fear isn't quite the effect I'm going for, but hey...I guess it's a start.

That was great, I love the skull and bones on the map marking the site. I can't even imagine how gross it would be to stand in that creekbed muck.

jadis May 30 2007, 17:23:42 UTC

Yeah, standing in the muck is officially No Fun. There are....THINGS....in the muck, and you just don't want to think about what they might be. Is it a stick or an eel? Is that an eel that just brushed up against my shin, or just a leaf that I stirred up from the bottom? Blech. I totally need a pair of Crocs to wear down there next time. I had my Crocs flip-flops on, but there's no way I could have recovered them if I'd sunk into the muck while wearing them, I need something that covers my whole foot.

Oh, and another first! For the first time EVER in all my years crabbing, a crab that I dropped into the boat when I missed dumping it in the sorting bucket LATCHED ONTO MY FOOT. Usually, they land in the bottom of the boat and scuttle around and as long as you stay calm and just curl your toes under until they scuttle away, you're fine. This one must have been seriously PISSED OFF because he scuttled right up and WHAM grabbed my pinky toe and the side of my foot. Little asshole. I hope I was the one who ate him.

I didn't read this yet, but I have to say I am very impressed with the intermittent pictures and maps. Very fancy post.
