Eating a crab requires a lot of lung and poop contact. The animal’s lungs and poop, that is.

TACKY. Reminds of the giant blow up gorillas at car dealerships. And we know those folks have no class. This crab is gonna scare my kids. One of them is afraid of the beach as it is.

I love McCormick & Schmick’s, but I’m surprised about the tacky crab situation. They’re more upscale while the crab looks like it should be atop a fast food joint.

oh well, just bring on the McCormick and Schmicks!

Egad! It’s ultra super mega dope tacky, but by gum we all know the restaurant is there now. Aargh, it’s like an image I’d like to burn out of my head but it just won’t go away…
