Chimichanga Cheeseyburrito!
Greetings from Casa dos Gatos. I'm guessing you're getting set to head for the gig in Massachusetts, so here's a recap of last Friday night in Hoagburg.
Man this summer has been some of the most beautiful weather I think I've ever seen. Not great for selling air conditioning, but very pleasant indeed and tonite is no exception. The sound of accordions is wafting from the giant tent across the road that's holding this year's version of Oktoberfest. Nonetheless, we have a classic Hoagsville crowd, with the line forming around ten after seven and our first Natural Sellout in a couple of months. The lovely and wonderful Sara With No H rejoins us after a couple of months off. Truly a pleasure to see her again. She's joined by a nice size group of Racers. Several Regulars are back. Barb, Jake, and Defending Champ Michelle among them. We're also joined by a large contingent of members of the Transportation Security Administration. Please place your shoes in the tray, thank you. Young Dave is Your Lovely host and manning the Bar and Jill-Bob is on the floor, SERVING US ALL!!!! This brings us to the point in the evening when it's appropriate to ask, ARE YOU READY FOR SOME-
Football Crab Racing-
PreRace:
Some of this. And this. And this. And this. And this. And this. And this. And this. And this. And this. And this. And there’s always this.

Well now we have a conundrum. Of the Five Fastest Crabs In The World, one makes the Finals. And he was the one Crab of the five that was in decline. It appears that there has been some serious Shell Swapping going on. I'll explore that more in a separate post.
#71 takes the top prize. Ironically, he took Race Six and then the first Semi Final. These are the same Races that he took on the way to Third Place last Wednesday at Folkie's. Super Crab returns to the Finals for the first time in four weeks to take Second Place. #38 and #76 come from nowhere to take Third and Fourth respectively.
By the way, if you'd like to be put on the CrabLine mailing list, send me an email at jjjxn@hotmail.com and I'll hook you up. The Amazing Racing Crabs return to Hoagington on October 9th for a show to be named later. Until then, he's Sonny Starr!
