so the other day i went to a chinese buffet. it was apparently seafood night or something and they had alaskan snow crab legs. i walk up to the bar and peruse the offerings. yup i want me some of those crab legs. i'll just have to wait until this guy in front of me is done filling his plate. hmm, wow that's the only thing on his plate, well i can put some rice and vegtables and stuff on my plate while i'm waiting for him to get done.

i wait and wait and the guy is fishing out the last of the crab legs and putting it on his plate. his plate is stacked eight inches high, only with crab legs... well i guess i'll just have to wait until they put out some more.

so i go back to my table and crab guy is sitting alone at the table across from mine. apparently this is his third plate of crab legs stacked dangerously high. well at least he'll have his fill, i mean he can't possibly eat any more, after that.

so i eat my rice and vegtables, then engage is some small talk as i push a shrimp around on my plate. then i notice crab guy has gotten up again. he's filling up another plate with crabs. that's four... i overhear people commenting, "man that guy's eating a lot of crab legs."

he comes back to his table. his check is waiting for him, and the waitress asks if he wants some more to drink. i sense tension.

meanwhile i'm back to playing with my shrimp, and my stomach is making me start to wonder if chinese was such a great idea. just as i'm about to leave, the guy gets up and goes for a fifth plate stacked to ceiling. i didn't stay to see if he went for six, but whoa...
