I'm watching an Alien movies marathon and eating boiled crabs. A vivid memory comes into my head as I'm watching a facehugger scene. I thought yall would appreciate it.
I was in college and dating a land-lubber long-distance who lives in New Mexico. We bonded over our love of science fiction, both total geeks. I went to visit for a couple of weeks in the summer and brought a dozen spicy boiled blue crabs to share with him and his family.
He's looking at these foreign things and shivers. "They look like facehuggers."
I assure him they're dead, don't attach themselves to your face even when alive, and eating them will not put an alien in your stomach.
He's still incredibly skittish. I have to pick the crab for him, and he'll only eat a little bit. I find this hilarious, especially because he is a big guy. Try to imagine Sandy cringing away from a boiled crab, poking it with a knife to see if it moves. My amusement was endless.
The next morning, I wake up before him and put an upside-down crab on his pillow.
Cue girlie scream.
I literally fell down laughing in the hallway.
He was a good sport, and we dated for two more years after that. Nowadays, we're Facebook friends. I just posted this video on his timeline: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zr3DC31GtkU
