Thank you very much for pinging your list  :-)

[Stoat]

Thanks Stoat.

You're quite welcome  :-)

I hope you won't be offended if I don't join your new pinglist?  Threads of that nature would be rather upsetting to be sent on a regular basis.....

((((shudder))))

[Daffynition]

LOL ... no apology necessary ... it's a great story and should be enjoyed far and wide ... "Gaetice depressus!!!"

[Stoat]

Thank you....your perpetual courtesy, grace and congeniality sets a benchmark for all :-)

Blushing ...

I use to do some diving in Puget Sound. We would take a bag with us to gather crabs we found, which we had a license for, of course.

One critter got a hold of one careless guys finger.

In case you're wondering, you can hear someone scream under water.

awww...is that a giant blue-crab and cookie dinner for the stoat?
Why thank you so very much!
And cooked by such a gorgeous lady no less....
“sigh”
what more could I possibly ask for?
Thank you :-)

[Stoat]

Oh lawdy, that sounds awful!
I’ve done just a little diving in Puget Sound (Tacoma Narrows, Edmonds Underwater Park, San Juan Islands) but never fishing or crabbing...I’d think that an unexpected pinch like that could conceivably end up being lethal if the pinch-ee were to spit out his regulator and y’all were deep enough...not something to do for fun!

We're still cryin' for that picture.

HOLY CRABS, BATMAN!

The truth is, the logo is the product of the fertile (for now) mind of martin_fierro, and I wouldn’t swear to having concockted the idea for such a list (may have been m’s suggestion) in the first place — strictly as a joke. But you’d be surprised at the number of topics which qualify around here...

[SunkenCiv]

Oh wow...
