State Crab!
Posted on May 29 2009 | Posted in Personal | No Comments
Technically, it’s a state crustacean. Apparently some 4th graders in West Linn decided we needed a state crustacean, so the state senate has passed a bill that would honor the Dungeness Crab. I read about this on the Statesman Journal’s website. They must have decided this because West Linn is totally crawling with these crabs since it’s so on the coast (it’s not; I’m sure most of the kids have never seen a crab in their lives) (psh… “West” Linn, more like “Suburb” Linn).
I particularly enjoyed this little tidbit from the SJ’s article:
“Senate Minority Leader Ted Ferrioli, a John Day Republican, cast one of the two ‘no’ votes. He said he thought Senate President Peter Courtney, a Salem Democrat, should be the state’s official crustacean. But that didn’t go anywhere.”
I’m not going to comment about how right he probably is.
