From the author:

"Whilst the giant crabs were slowly dying from cancer, as told in Crabs on the Rampage, a massive battle was still to be fought on the east coast where the crustaceans were to make one final attempt to overthrow Mankind. This is the story of that final battle set against the background of a macabre cult of crab-worshippers and human sacrifice – GNS".

Well, I had to look and the author's name really is Guy Smith.  His latest book in the Crab series was published this year and the first book was in 1976.  He also writes children's books and pornography.

Is there a Crabs/Gor crossover book?

Indianapolis Colts QB Andrew Luck just announced his retirement.  Said he's tired of the injuries.

Doesn't seem that long ago he was at Stanford.

Just as long as he keeps all three categories separate.

It seems there is a natural transition from the porn category to the crabs.

I like seafood as much as the next guy, but I've never thought of crabs as being particularly alluring ...

1980 contest to win a trip to Poland.

Yeah I would have taken one of the other 100+ places. Granted I was three years old at the time so was lacking in ham decorating skills.

100 other prizes, not trips.

So I saw a racism today, or at least an incident involving racial undertones.

This morning I boarded a nearly full Metro train car and an Asian woman (I assume on the way to work) was standing near me. She was near the door but not blocking it, and provided enough room for another person to board, but she had her back to the door so she couldn't see if anyone else was boarding.

A black woman ( I also assume on the way to work, based on how she was dressed), trying to board the train before the doors automatically closed, forcefully charged into the back of this Asian woman and then violently pushed her further into the train car and into other people. She then started yelling very loud obscenities at her. The Asian woman looked shocked and on the verge of tears.

A black man immediately next to them said something to the effect of "Please, that's unnecessary" to the black woman, who immediately went into an unnerving tirade about how dare he go against a black woman and side with "One of them," and called herself a "black queen." Basically she called this black man a race traitor and denounced him on this crowded metro during morning rush hour. The man backed off. People have been stabbed on this train during rush hour before.

She got off at the very next stop. People consoled the Asian woman after the incident.

I always try to give people the benefit of the doubt, because I want to believe people are genuinely good-hearted and well-meaning toward their fellow humans. Maybe this woman was having a really, really shitty morning, but to lash out and pick on a person because of their race and then call another black person a race traitor for even tepidly trying to calm the situation down, well... She's a cunt.

Speaking as both a prosecutor, and someone who takes public transit every day, don't discount the possibility of mental illness and/or drug addiction.
