See that ugly sucker? Yeah. Turns out it's a giant coconut crab. And it's not alone:
Mmm-hmm, not sure if I'd be smiling. Fo realz. I'd be looking around for a flamethrower. I hate crabs. You know why? Cuz they look like fucking spiders. OF THE SEA. (And yes, I've seen giant spider crabs. Giant fucking 'bamas.) I'm talkin' flamethrowers, y'all. Flamethrowers.
Anyone else having a did-a-chick? dod-a-chock? moment?
Oh, and these photos came from THIS blog.
But you know what bums me out? That horrifying creatures such as those do not exist naturally in my imagination. No. I have to WRACK MY BRAINS to come up with the good, shamblin', scary ones, while trying EQUALLY hard to NOT be DERIVATIVE. (But I'm not bitter. No.)
So imagine my chagrin when I happened upon the pics of those suckers. Sigh. IMAGINE the freakin' horror stories I could come up with if such creatures populated my brain. And even scarier, imagine the SITUATIONS I could create.
Unfortch, scientists are thinking that Earhart met her end in one such horrific scenario. Alone, hungry and desperate on an uninhabited island, yet only 300 miles from her destination. Oh, wait. She wasn't alone. She had her navigator.
AND AN ENTIRE ISLAND FULL OF THOSE FREAKIN' BONE-EATING CRABS.
Night, y'all.

THAT IS ONE SCARY LOOKING SPIDER-CRAB-CREATURE
DEAR GOD MY EYESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
i'm still trembling in the corner.
LOL - Tahereh! I know, right? *shudders*
You have a fear of crustaceans?
At first I thought it was a spider. Now THAT is horrifying.
Oh my stars! Going to have nightmares tonight. Yeah, I've led a sheltered life.
Okay, those pics were pretty yucky but since I'm more likely to run into spiders in my part of the woods - I'll continue to hate them more.
OMG! I saw that and thought it was a mutant spider. Who would want to EAT that? ewwww.
Oh no. I think I'm going to have nightmares now. They are scary lookin'!
Eeek!
I'm just a teensy bit uneasy to look under my bed now. Sure, I live in the middle of the city, but...
*whisper* those things could be anywhere.
LOL - gross, right? And I'm over here all, MAN! Why didn't I think of that?? :D
That is so cool!! Crabs that climb - wow.
Wow! I didn't know they think they've found Earhart's - well, not remains, exactly. How awful to have died like that.
But now you know where to find really creepy monsters!
Those really are creepy but also make me think of drawn butter and lemon. Mmmmm
Man, those are kick ass. I LOVE creepy big bastards like this. And I'm with you on the jealousy thing. I make creepy bugaboos in jars for people sometimes and I wish I could think up things this awesome.
Here's my other blog, where I have a few of my sculptures posted. I need to update it more....
The scariest creepiest critters out there walk on two legs and study twig technology which produces things like TVs and disposable relationships. : p
That said have you read about komodo dragons? Slow critters that only need to barely nibble on you to get you... Eventually. And since they live on a island, they can simply amble to dropped and rotting corpses... No fast moving chasing nonsense for them. : p
I agree with alleged author, my first thought was, I wonder how they taste. : p
Interesting news about Earhart, thanks for linking to that.
Good luck working on your nightmares. ; j
I thought I already commented on this post, but WHOA DUDE!
