Fount, you don't barbeque crab... you boil them... get out your biggest stock pot and fill the bottom with about a gallon of cheap beer, bring it to a boil, then drop the crab in.. Melt some butter... when the crab turn from brown to red, they are done... I shoulda brought some crab shell crackers, but pliers work good... hope you got a few pair of pliers in your shop to use... Maybe some kind sould could raid a KMart and get a few extra pair.. we'll need em..! I dived into WHAT kind of salad... and I promised my wife I wouldn't do any thing to embarrass her at this party!!! Just goes to show you that you can take the Sailor out of the Sea, but you can't take the party out of the Sailor...! No I'm sorry I don't know any Jeanie Mykland or Steve... We've only lived here in Wasilla for 3 yrs now... Before that we lived in Homer... the Hamlet by the Sea... or if you read the stuff TomBodett wrote, it was "The End of The Road"...! now there if I didn't know their name, I knew them by the name of their Boat..!

Hey, I've got five or six pairs of pliers handy. (I'm the tool gal.) I'll bring them along and stop by K-Mart for more. The KMart nearest us is going out of business so everything's about 75 percent off. Might pick up a new squeaky clean garbage can while I'm there and mix up a Hairy Buffalo. Take a new garbage can, fill it about half full of Hawaiian Punch drink mix--mixed real strong, and add the contents of your liquor cabinet. Haven't had one of those since college...many moons ago.

John D, Now, you tell me I can't bbq king crabs.! Well, I've bbqed most everything else from goats to frogs. Anyway, here I am again, in a corner going to sleep in a pile of crab legs, sucked out crawfish heads and rib bones. I must have had a good time as my bass is still around my neck!!!! And, who was the Lass dancing on the table when it turned over and she was burried in my pile of shells and bones? What a party! Fount ----- Original Message ----- From: "John D.
