gone all crabby

After finally getting my check/getting it cashed (kind of a long story) I decided to buy Brad a present... make that a couple of presents. He was with me so he was the one that actually went in the shop and got them. Lemme back up a bit, I'm talking nonsense.

Y'see, he had visited the petshop previous to that in order to purchase yet another small hermit crab. While selecting his pet he noticed they had gotten in two big light purple crabs, a type of crab known affectionately to crab enthusiasts as "ruggies." He was sorry he didn't have the money to get a purple crab and I really wanted to see one. I've been wanting for us to be able to get more colorful crabs in that tank. Soooo, we went to the Smithville Jack's this morning and completed our collection of crustaceans. We've finally met the agreed twenty crab limit. After all the various additions and losses, we finally got the full twenty. We each named them as they joined our little family/menagerie. See if you can tell who named which: (hint: remember, Brad's a huge KISS fan)

Strong Bad, the Cheat, Destroyer (III, the tribute to the tribute), Deuce, Strutter, Weebl, Monkey, Chief, Hoss, Smoky, Ed, Dynasty, Brak, Thor, Ace, Jibbi, Creature, Ziggy, Domino, Loki

Hmmm, guess we didn't get equal naming rights after all... of course, two or three of the "originals" I named died and have since been replaced. Strong Bad, The Cheat, Weebl, Brak, Thor, Jibbi, Ziggy and Loki are considered "mine." Brad counts Monkey as one I named cos he named it in my honor. Well... then again, technically, I kinda named Destroyer III. Actually, I named Destroyer II (who recently kicked the bucket) when we replaced the fallen original. So, errm, we're even I guess.

In the words of Brad's friend Mark: "sounds like a league of heroes."

15 Ecuadorians
3 Caribbeans
2 Ruggies

A league of heroes indeed x
