As usual, government is the problem. Why is it so hard to approve unlimited harvesting of these crabs? Who do the fisherman need to pay off to get this done?

The goal of government leaders is to expand government by creating problems in the name of solving problems. As soon as you understand this, the sooner you'll understand why conservatives and libertarians want to keep government as small as possible.

Review Post #80 for the rules.

"It can survive on almost anything: kelp, dead fish, seaweed and fish eggs. It even eats crushed shells to get the calcium it needs for its shell."

So they're like edible bureaucrats, then?

Time to crank up our Zatarain's production now!

Well I'll be damned! Commies really are good for something!

The monster crabs, which can weigh up to 25lb and have a claw-span of more than three feet,

Good L-rd.

My crotch itches just thinking about this.

At present, some Norwegian fishermen have been granted seasonal licences to catch the Kamchatka crab but stiff regulations on the size of the boat used and other criteria mean they are few in number.

Sounds easy to fix this problem. Remove the regs and let fisherman go whole hog. The consumer profits with a cheap delicacy.

Aaaaahhh, that could be another explanation!

We need to check with Art Bell for the definitive answer.

"Served with bread, butter, lemon and mayonnaise, the taste and texture of the crab meat is comparable with that of the finest lobster. "

Interesting food source! Just throw 'em in a pot and steam 'em!

It looks like you are crapping spikey orange crap out of your mouth.

Kinda like that one South Park episode.

Isn't me - it's some lucky Dutchman. Wish it were me.

I bet AnAmericanFather is pretty glad it's not.

undecided whether to treat the crabs as a resource or a pest.

Time for a mid-life career change. Anyone know where I can pick up a good, used fishing trawler?

Daaaaaam he looks like one of those people I make fun of in the buffets, going for fourth and fifth plates of crablegs!
