<sigh> I haven't posted anything much in months. I finally thought I had something but you beat me by 40 minutes. Oh well. I still celebrate cephalopod awesomeness with you. :mmmbeer:

Poor little guy was trying so hard to find someplace to eat the crab he had and all those people wouldn't let him dine in peace. :angry:
