The Hunger Games

Those devilish little creatures burying themselves under sand by day and scouring the beaches by night. What must one do to capture these fellows?

Spears, pitchforks, and nets in hand, we meticulously combed through the washed-up seaweed.
After 20 minutes of tiring work, we concluded that our searching location was not, in fact, the location of the crabs.
And all of a sudden, out of the corner of my eye, the devilish little creature - Banksia Men-like crab dashed out from the side of one of the heaps of seaweed.

Screams and yelps of joy abounded in the hasty pursuit, and the crab that was later named "Raphael" would be taking an elevator ride to only be carefully observed by five girls, slightly tortured in attempts to feed the poor little hairy fellow, and then released back into the wilds of the beach by night.

Crab hunting was a success; had we caught more, we could have had a few decent hors d'oeuvres.

So, while everyone was watching The Hunger Games premiere, we were Hungry too - for crab catching games.

Take it or leave it, but at least think about lending me a copy of The Hunger Games so I can participate in the general hype with you.
