Standing on 8th Avenue in Ybor City tonight, I was dead in the path of one of our delightful bright yellow trolleys - angling for a perfect shot - when Lili's Homemade Devil Crab three-wheeler went by me so fast ans silently I almost couldn't capture it. Three shots later this one image shows the American flag flying proudly from the rear. As quickly as it appeared, it was gone. It clearly says WORLD FAMOUS, so who am I to dispute such a bold claim. If they had stopped for an instant, even an instant, I would have had to sample, taste and devour a couple of devil crabs, all in the name of science. For you! Then I could have reported back, accurately and precision, from my vantage point under laboratory conditions (in the middle of a busy brick street), that yes, they are FAMOUS. All we are left with is their tagline, EAT MORE DEVIL CRABS. (But, I can still smell the little devil crabs even now.)

Since I have no idea what Devil Crabs are, I would really appreciate it if you still accomplish that scientific experiment and report back to us!
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I would suggest he add horns to complete the look.

Frank how do you home make a crab, I thought they were found naturally in water, but as I've never heard of devil crabs I may well be wrong.
ReplyDelete;-) cute!
