Haha...this is true. But cup of soup for an appetizer. And I've finally figured out how to eat them properly. Last time I went home, I brought back a whole carry-on full of JO Spice seasonings. (That's what they use at Gunning's). The guy at security goes..."You're doing it right! They don't know how to eat crabs in Florida."

It's called Old Bay. And it's excellent in/on burgers. And about everything else.

I have a can of it in the cupboard!

just remember that Hopkins is in the ghettoest of all ghettos. Like worry about getting mugged between the hospital and the garage ghetto.

I love Baltimore, and would never live anywhere near that hospital.

Try living down the street from Shock Trauma and your friendly neighborhood methadone clinic next door to the Safeway!

The ghetto birds (police helicopters) and medivac copters made a lot of noise. At least the lights from the ghetto birds kept the hooker junkies away from my outside water faucet (convenient to clean syringes).

Seriously, I was tight with my neighbors and we all looked after each other.

This is the stuff Gunnings uses. It's like Old Bay...but milder yet with more flavor if that makes sense.

More flavor, my butt. That's not REAL or AUTHENTIC. Old Bay is REAL, wussy boy!

You ate crabs where we send the hipster tourists...:meanie:

Locals go to the run-down, falling down crab shacks. We eat the mustard and don't need no damn mallet, neither!

Stfu. I'm from nawlins and use seasoning and spice for my crab and crawdad boil you've never seen.
 
Get in the cage, b*tch.

Boy, you DON'T know Maryland.

However, I'm more than willing to try your crab and crawdad boil.🙂

I fry my turkeys in the ol King Cooker. I now have access to big-bore needles so that I may properly inject my turkeys with my special ingredients without gumming up the needle!

I learned how to eat crabs with a rock. We're hardcore like that. And this is Natty Boh:

I'm sitting in a coffee shop in Richmond waiting for my friend's plane to come in. And freezing my ass off. How come no matter where I go it is freaking freezing?!

It's 86 degrees and so dry, I have no fluid in my body.
 
You should drink so much that you have to pee pretty often to stay hydrated in that climate. I'll be there the end of the week

A local led me to Gunning's...look!

Ewww, but the mustard's nasty. I can't go there...

But I've been to 3 of the restaurants on that best of list...Kali's Court was my fave.
 
There is a song I like and can't remember the name of it or the group. It was a few years ago and I think it was an English band and the video was like a b movie and they were attacking an alien with laser guitars. At one point in the song the guy sing really high. I am pretty sure it was a one hit wonder. Please help I am going nuts.

The Darkness "Thing Called Love" has alien crabs, high singing, AND laser guitars. I Win.
 
I really impressed myself because I had actually never seen the video for that song before. But I just had a hunch that's what it was. And then the video had the required laser guitars.

I guess yay for room-service induced heartburn at 3am?

Come on! No more 'scuses.

My Dad told me today he wants to buy the 40D from me. Maybe I'll upgrade to the 5DMKII.

Your dad should buy a 40D from Amazon .....

If you're going to upgrade to FF, you should also have a crop sensor body as a backup if you plan on doing outdoor photography. Then you'll need a larger bag to carry both bodies.

White trash. Gotta go where the redneck trash goes. If you're in town again, try the clear tomato crab soup. Really good and a lot less fattening. Also, you can try dove and muskrat on the Eastern Shore if you're feeling a little adventurous...

Good! I can afford to be that way. And I aim to annoy annoying people.

Hmmm...why do you think it's essential to have a crop?

And you do know me...I'm not being facetious. Just curious, because we used to get along fine with 35 mm for outdoor, no?

Hey did you see the 20/20 special on the hill people in West Virgina. Mountain Dew mouth. They apparently give this stuff to thier kids in baby bottles.

Priapism321 was sure to be certain I knew of its existence. **** kinda cracks me up. "Oh my god, people in appalachia are poor? Holy ****!"

No ****, you cosmopolitan, "uber-educated" *******es. But, yeah, Scots-Irish hilljacks. Them's my people.

Tiger Woods will win this week. 8 months off, and first tourney back victory. That's totally his style.

All these commentators say, "we don't know how the knee will be and if he'll be strong enough." He won the U.S. Open with a torn ACL and stress fracture. Now he's healthy.

Because when we were shooting 35mm, we didn't know any better. There will be times when you'll want that extra reach...like birding or sports photography. Now you'll have to sell your UWA along with your 40D.

But doesn't the higher resolution from a 5DMkII make up for the illusion of reach, if you just crop the outside edges of the FF shot? Wouldn't you get a sharper (or just as sharp) of an image...but have the luxury of keeping that whole frame if you wanted it? I suppose it still isn't enough yet to make up for the 1.6x appearance in reach with concentration of pixels?

Guess I still get a little tripped up on the technical aspects of DSLR...think you may have to explain it to me at some point.

The answer is no...you won't get the quality of 1.6X by cropping a FF. At least I don't think so and there are reasons for it....but I can't remember now.

Also...as I look through the viewfinder on my old 35mm with a 50mm lens, the size isn't same as 5D with 50mm. I forgot which was larger..I'll look tomorrow.
