Virtue is a grace,
Grace is a little girl who doesn't wash her face.
So goes the rhyme I learned at some point in childhood and have delighted in ever since…
I'm being terribly patient with velcro4. He's a grad student, in the last year of his Ph.D program, and as such, he's super busy preparing for a big conference presentation this week. I really would like to meet him, so I'm going to wait until he's got time on his hands again and see if he's up for a date.
Until then, I'm continuing to peruse the dating site and Craigslist, the latter of which offered up this crazy ad earlier in the week:
DECAPOD CRUSTACEAN SEEKS ROMANCE!!! - 3
Hey ladies, I just realized how long it's been since I was last involved in a relationship and I'm really dying to get with someone who's down to earth and willing to date an actual crab. Yes, yes, I am literally a crab. Thick exoskeleton, chelae claws, a propensity for rocks. It's not easy finding love as a crustacean, let me tell you!
I really just want a casual relationship with someone. We can get to know each other through a few e-mails. Exchange pics. Maybe go on a few romantic hikes along the coast a little down the line. Who knows what'll happen! You just might be the one that'll lock abdomens with me in a pre-mating embrace, lasting many days, before you finally molt and then YOU KNOW WHAT! LOLL!! JK JK JK!!
Anyways, I'm 24cm, purple-ish, recently molted. I don't like cats. LOVE DOGS!!! That's my Kilulu in the pic below. She loves new people and she LOVES TO PLAY!
You: Human
Thanks! Look forward to e-mails!
Believe it or not, the post did include a picture of a purple crab. I really wonder if this person got any positive responses to this ad. It's just so weird.

You have to give him kudoos for a sense of humor. The idea of a casual relationship that involves hikes and playing with a happy dog doesn't sound so bad to me, but any creature with 8 legs reminds me of a spider.
He certainly does have a sense of humor. This post probably took quite a lot of work, unless he is a marine biologist and just happens to know all that information about crabs.
