C'mon, GS, you don't fool me. If these are Fiddler crabs, where are the fiddles? Huh? Huh? Huh?

i am sure the birds went crazy with all this fresh crab meat available to them (and i'd guess, fresh crab eggs as well).

I thought of that quote too when I saw the picture, its from a Bugs Bunny cartoon. I thought I would be the only person who knew it!
