Past history would tend to disprove that statement…
And Al didn’t say what he did with those crabs.

So I am relating my story on the crabs to a friend of mine, who happens to be a chef. He reminds me about the time we were in Baltimore about 12 years ago and ate tons of crabs in the basement of a place on the inner harbor…as a matter of fact the bar tab was over $300…but anyway I realize that the hotel I stayed at this week was the same hotel, same floor (top) as the one we had stayed at 12 years ago…pretty bizarre. At least this time the motel had just finished a renovation, and I was the first to stay in that room, so I could sleep well not wondering if “Heidi meets the one eyed snake” had been filmed there the previous night. I remember we pretty much destroyed the place 12 years ago, one of the guys had lost most of his intestines as a child so the smell was unbearable (crabs, booze, half digested), we checked out early and went to Atlantic City where little old ladies trampled us on their way to the slots. I did get my “Happy Fisherman” t-shirt there which is some consolation, and I think someone was shat upon by a giant sea condor on the boardwalk. Another memeory from that trip is I was driving a totalled out Fiat X1/9, the LF had 5 degress camber from the wreck so I had to rotate tires every 3 or 4k miles. I remember the ride from Baltimore to AC was a hung over trip and whoever was riding with me passed out and got sunburned all to hell.
So after talking about all this with my chef buddy, I realize that we at the scene of another strange coincindence, we are at an art gallery where they have free beer and wine on Friday’s. I had been to the gallery before, wearing a MLT t-shirt. A portrait artist asked about the shirt and I related several possum stories, none of which she believed. I walked across the hall into another gallery, and the artist there was the mother of a person whom had recieved a live possum for their birthday. As this is a pretty snooty place I had a hard time convincing her that she had to confirm my story of taking a live possum to a birhtday party…small world.
One more story and then I got to go…When we were in Baltimore, staggering around the inner harbor on a Friday afternoon, we asked a security guard/rent-a-cop were a good bar was. He told us they had happy hour at the top of the world trade center. Free shrimp. We ate about 20 lbs and ran up a huge bar tab. I think we got kicked out, but cant really remember. We get on the elevator for the 20 or so floor trip down, Mr. no intestines rips one, about 2 floors down the elevator stops and a nice looking woman with 2 kids gets on. We make it about 3 more floors before we have to evacuate, I remember looking back and one of the kids is holding his nose. I am sure they thought it was some sort of stink bomb prank we played but it was 100% natural, it is amazing we were not arrested for creating a public health hazard or something.
It is too bad about the crabs, Baltimore just is not the same without em.

OK, I don’t believe any of this, not one bit.
Al would never drive a car on the street with less than a perfect alignment, he would never be out in public with someone who feels it is OK to “cut the cheese” and he would never admit to having bad crabs…
Oh, and those Alaskan King crab legs…are those the ones they chip out of a 30ton frozen block in the shipping container out behind the Red Lobster?? You know, the same container they’ve been chipping crab legs from for the last 5 years??
BTW, I too have a good friend who is missing part of his intestines- we call him “straight pipe”…
