What A Crane In The Ass

No, that picture wasn't doctored. And yes, the crane was really THAT tall. I should know...I lived across the street from it for months! With every gust of wind it would lean a little closer to our living room windows...scary biz.
But don't worry - if it ever had decided to make a grand entrance (and by "grand entrance" I mean demolishing the place), that monster-crane would have been met by a very friendly welcome committee of myself, my mother, the zoo and a brand-spankin' new homeowners insurance policy! PARTY!!
On a very happy note, that crane is finally gone...we can all breathe easier now...aaah.

Fatty Crab! (Happy Face!)

I've been crab fishing once in Maryland when I was young. We went out on a teeny tiny boat with a lot of raw, juicy, cubed beef for the little suckers to claw onto. After the terrifying experience of rowing back to shore while a few of them crawled around the floor snapping their pinchers in protest, we killed them and made them into crab cakes!! Finga lickin' good!
Though it doesn't look like this place will be serving any run-of-the-mill crab cakes, I CANNOT wait to get down with a whole bunch of stuff on their menu. And it's got the BEST name ever...who doesn't want to just shout out, "Let's go down to Fatty Crab!"???
Plus....UWS hood. Yay!

Addendum :
Rachel: btw though, fatty crab has existed downtown for a long time
me: oh crap. thanks for the info

Rachel: ya, you may want to revise

me: i'll have to addendum that bitch
Rachel: but that's really exciting that it's coming uptown!! UWS is on fira. fire (but pronounce FYE-YA).
