A Dog's Dinner

The Dependent Boxer

Is there any law in Blipland that says you can't have two crab pictures in a week? No? Good.

So here's a a wee crab that lives in a wee stolen shell. Dependence big time. No shell - No crab. Simple....but as with the Way of Blip this wee crab took me in strange and wonderful directions.

The Common Hermit Crab, or Diogenes Pugilator, took me to Diogenese of Sinope - now there was a a crazy guy, who lived in a barrel. So we have a boxer, from the latin pugno, to fight, who lives in a barrel - a Hermit crab.

Then I remembered the other Diogenese.. Another crazy guy.

Whatever happened to the Classic Education. It would be so handy at times.
