   Damn, I was thinking the same thing and with only one comment before me, I thought I would get it first. Curse you, Nonchalant Savant!

   Eat it? Ewww. ha ha Well, I'm vegan so what's ya expect. I think it looks like a giant mole crab. I see smaller creatures very similiar to this every time I visit the beach in NC. They are fun for the kids to catch and then let go. We affectionately call them "diggers" because the dig in the sand so fast. The biggest I've seen was about the size of a quarter.

   I can't imagine ticks a size like this would infest my dog's ears

    My thought was also "what's it taste like?" I looked it up on google and apparently not too good. I'd still try it though. They say that they eat it in Vietnam and other Asian Area's... This whole time I thought it was dog I was eating...
    A little garlic butter and a side of rice....

    Ohjesuschrist, at first I thought that was a kiddie pool, not the top of a poly drum. I can deal with them being lobster-sized, not so much pitbull-sized.
