He's just never eaten crab.
I sometimes refer to them as sea spiders.

Three of the four dinners I had in Tybee Island last year were crab. I
had soft shell crab twice and steamed crab and shrimp. Delicious.

If anyone ever comes the UK ever again, then I can heartily recommend a Cromer
Crab. Quite well known here so best avoided in Cromer itself for tourist tax,
but surrounding villages do magnificent dressed crabs you just eat straight
out of the shell.

Tourist tax? Like the one in Niagara Falls?

The one I had in Georgia came on a platter with a pound of shrimp, some
potatoes and corn a mallet and no plates. They leave a roll of cheap
brown paper towel to serve as your plate and your napkins. It took
several yards of paper towel to make it through the meal.

Ah no, I meant that the crab in Cromer itself tends to be overpriced and not
that great, because it's named after the town.

This sounds brilliant.

Speaking of tourist tax.
I saw a mention on the local news just this morning.
Local restaurants here (supposedly only the oceanfront ones),
just got the go ahead to open up again just in time for
the tourist season.

They are adding a "Covid tax" of 2.something percent to their
bills. Really? Cheap greedy turds. Just being able to open
again is not good enough. They want to charge people extra.

Also...it's not a govt. tax. Just extra fee for them.
They claim it's to cover the cost of extra cleaning.
I hope they all fail and go out of business.

That's been in the news at least two weeks and it's just not Virginia
Beach. Many customers are squawking about it and I don't blame them.

There are undoubtedly some issues that are going to have to be worked
out in order for these guys to stay in business. Depending on their
location, they lost about two months of business. They had rent,
insurance, some salaries and other expenses to pay during the time they
had no business. In most places they are having to make some changes
in the way they operate that will require more staff and few customers.

Calling it a tax is inappropriate. It is a surcharge. It ranks up there
with adding an 18% "gratuity" to restaurant bills if there is more than
a certain number in the party. That is a service charge not a gratuity.
Apparently the businesses in Niagara Falls can charge a tourist
destination tax, but there is no real obligation to pay it.

That's a lot like Frogmore Stew. There's a bucket for discarding the
shrimp and crab shells and corn cobs. A roll of cheap brown (butcher
paper) on the table. If they'd added locally made link sausage to the
mix you'd have been eating Frogmore Stew.

Someone has to pay for all the extra sanitizer cleaning fluids,
cloths, etc. Also those who clean must also be paid for their time
even though they are not making money. Haircuts at my place went up
$4.

I went to my MD this afternoon to get checked out for a Pre-Op for my
cateract surgery, I passed with flying colorors but it took over two
hours, had to be masked and placed in an exam room that was spotless
and devoid of all extraneous thingies, no mags.
Got an email today that my dentist is back in business but to phone to
set up an appointment for a cleaning, will probably take twice as
long. Just because this is dairy country doesn't mean they need to
milk all the billing hours... and my dental hygienist is plesant, has
a nice ass,but she's sort of flat chested.

My hygienist is pleasant, too, but I don't recall I've ever looked
at his ass.

LOL But then you also don't wear any makeup.

I've been waiting for the makeup issue to reappear to say
one last thought on the subject.

The skin does absorb things applied to it at least to some
extent.

How about an ingredient list from you for the more
common makeup products that are used?

Just to name a few to help you out:
- eye shadow
- lipstick
- spray on (airbrushed) skin color

Is that actually common? Shows how little I know.

I'd expect traditional liquid foundation to be much more common,
as the startup costs are so low.

Most makeup has an animal fat base.
