Let me tell you a story...

[Outta the box]

... about an adventure I had with Cork and OutOfTheBox. One that had my next door neighboor intrigued enough to join in, and drunk people on the balcony a few houses down yelling at us in the street.

This will from this point forward be referred to as the "Crustacean Rescue Mission."

Actually, the story really isn't that exciting, but Corky and my neighbor Denise made it funnier by being so dedicated to rescuing the little guys.

Cork was on her way to pick me up the other day for dinner, and I was in my driveway when I noticed something moving in the street. I thought it was a sandcrab, but when I got closer I noticed that it was what looked like a teeny little lobster. (Could've been a crawfish? Jury is still out on the identity of the creature. We'll just call it the thing.)

Anyway, I thought it was weird that it was out in the street in front of my house, instead of in the water where it should've been. Cork and OOTB showed up and I showed them, and Cork immediately decided we needed to return the thing to the water. She recruited her nephew to scoop it up in his hat and deliver it to the Gulf via the beach access across the street. By now Denise has joined us in the street, and she and Cork have discovered two more of the little creatures nearby.

Long story short (too late), we spent about fifteen to twenty minutes on this ridiculous rescue mission and I just thought it was kinda funny. We only found the three, but I'm still confused as to how they got out into the street. Any ideas?

OMG! I thought I would die laughing at Cork!!!! When she saw the other creatures after you and my youngin, went to the water!! Cork stole your neighbors survey marker and starting swaying and flailing around saying... "go away from the light, go away from the light!":funn:, and is trying to direct the little guy backwards, while flipping it over, and I'm thinking......... Your flailing, and flipping the poor thing is NOT helping him. But I was about wetting myself just laughing at her from her flailing and yelling at these little creatures that I couldn't bring myself to say anything, but drive away from her before I had an accident! Boy, these are going to be good times coming!! Just need remember to wear depends while hanging with Cork!

"Okay, so you all know by now that the Easter Bunny doesn't exist, right?" -OOTB
"Wait, what did you just say?" -AIT's friend Lily

so, what DID happen to the Easter Bunny Vixen??

Sounds like someone was having a crawfish boil and just dropped some.

I would love to see video of Cork in the street with the survey marker. :funn:

Between the rescue mission and knowing that Lily, Jeremy and I were in transit to SoWal, you should've known it would be a ridiculous night.

*Jeremy to the waiter* "Um, I haven't ordered yet, have I?"


And the highlight of my night...

"BAND, BREAK IT DOWN!"

great story. I wasn't there, but my guess is it was not a sea turtle, corky.

but you guys had some pretty big omb's to risk picking them up and re-locating them. good try.

poor little crawdaddies. they narrowly espape the boil and were making some headway to the nearest swamp (probably days later). then got taken directly to the gulf - in full view of seagulls and all manner of predators.;-)
