The fleas I can deal with...but when the beach is overrun with crabs...

Long horn Texas Blue Crabs look like space aliens.

I've done red before. Went from blue to red to blonde last year. View attachment 3377332

They told me blondes have more fun. And I was playing with hair dye as early as the parents would let me (I was about 11). Wanted to know what it would be like with raven hair. They insisted I only try temp colour. It came out kind of purple.

How to dye your hair with Kool-Aid

I see quite a few people with Kool-Ade hair of late. Blue is very big.

They still have great harmonies, not so much hair.

Hair!

New vocabulary (and a thank you to Moon Zappa for this): Sharenting. Parents who post pictures of their children in social media to validate their existence/in lieu of a life.

Crabtowne USA, they got crabs and arcade games.

That’s a long time to have a beard. Who knows what’s living in there.

Maryland blue crabs yum yum yum

And here I thought Crabtowne USA was a retirement village for grumps.

Who told you that? I bet it was a guy named Claude

I couldn't just "like" this, because I actually did laugh out loud.

Maryland blue crabs yum yum yum

Oh, I'm originally from Maryland and I would pay a hefty price for some blue crab. Maybe I'll splurge and order some this year. Yum!

It was either Claude’s little sister, Miss Clawdy or a steamed shrimp with a grudge.....

Is anyone still taking old curmudgeon names and giving out numbers? Or is this evolved to a basic elder bassist thread? I’m new to the forum but not that new to bass playing. Switched from sax to electric bass in 64, shortly after watching the Beatles make girls cry on Ed Sullivan.

Welcome. Using new math, your number is your first post number, 15498. Most here can’t remember their numbers. The only requirement is being a grump. At least some of the time.

The Beatles started many on their lifelong musical journeys. Perhaps their most important contribution. Knowing how to play a sax gets you bonus points.
