Happy New Year!
I'm so excited for what 2014 has to bring! The most recent thing will be our dear friends' wedding this weekend, so I feel like we're starting the year off on the right foot! Before we head out to celebrate I wanted to look back on 2013 (like I did last year with 2012). So, without further ado, here are the top 10 posts from last year:
10. Let's talk about crabs, baby!
This was a review of a different color: going over the most recent crab chat I had with some Deadliest Catch fans! I answered the question, "Who can fish in Alaskan waters" immediately, but I'm realizing that I still need to write a post about those infamous crab farts! Hooray for 2014!
9. Cod are just like people
Cod like to eat snow crabs and my fellow University of Alaska Fairbanks alum Laurinda Marcello tells us how that affects the snow crab population. A lot of you guys already know the answer to that, but for those of you who haven't read the post, click the link to see if snow crabs should be more afraid of cod or themselves!
8. Happy New Year!
WOOOO! You guys like to party just as much as this hermit crab!
um, you got a little something on your face.
7. Trading WHAT for protection?
Fiddler crabs: just when you think you might start liking them, they go and do something like this. What's the "this"? Living a 'free love' lifestyle in the name of property protection. You do what you gotta do, fiddler crab females, just don't expect me to bring a casserole over for the next "potluck" you throw, OK?
dang it! why do they have to be so cute!?!
6. I *crab heart* you!
You guys really saw the beauty in crab hearts just like I did. I hope it was a happy Valentine's Day for anyone who used my crab heart card!
5. Giving a whole new meaning to "shrimp"
Who knew shrimp embryos could be so endearing?
4. Big Ol' Crab!
In complete contrast to #5, this post was all about the largest recorded snow crab ever. I had to guestimate the actual size based on weight and crudely photoshop a picture, but you all got the idea.
3. Say "AAAAAAAH!!!"
AAAAAAAH!!!
2. hermit crabs do the twist
Come on hermit crab, let's do the twist! (Any Chubby Checker fans out there?) You guys must have been really interested in hermit crab abdomens and whether or not they twist the same way. Either that or you really liked my Beyoncé joke.
1. King crabs are red,
King crabs are blue,
This post taught you all,
How to tell the difference!
"I'm red" - Paralithodes camtschaticus
"I'm blue" - Paralithodes platypus
It also taught you that I'm a terrible poet.
Well, that's it! Let's see what 2014 has to offer!
