Do you want crabs? Because this is how you get crabs.

I really expected this to be more reminiscent of Fat of the Land from Prodigy than it was...

The Fyre Festival organizers themselves beat us all too it, I think.

I expected crabs to be better dancers. I mean, eight legs and all. But all of them seem to be doing the system analyst convention shuffle, except the one who's learned to do a couple of slides.

I want to see the crabs doing glorious Gene Kelly routines, flinging their many limbs about in a muscular rhapsody. I want to see them doing sophisticated Fred Astaire dance numbers, tapping out insanely complex polyrhythms. At the very least I want a Busby Berkeley shot of coordinated crab legs making dazzling kaleidoscopes.

I should probably just go watch some musicals.
