Write your own caption for the crab caught on cam by Edgar Riebe from Captive Eye Media, during Lafayette Elementary second-graders’ field trip to Me-Kwa-Mooks during low tide on Monday. Tide’s still low enough for good beach-roaming today – and the naturalists are out again too – see this story for more. Meantime, it’s graduation night for the Chief Sealth International High School Class of 2010, 5 pm at Memorial Stadium downtown … Support the USO by dining at Merrill Gardens-Admiral Heights (WSB sponsor) 4-6 pm (full details here) … 10 am-2 pm today, workers from pet-food company Nutro will be spiffing up Westcrest Off-Leash Dog Area (on the heels of the Kiwanis Club of West Seattle event last Saturday!) … Tonight’s marquee meeting is the West Seattle Crime Prevention Council, 7 pm at Southwest Precinct, with special guest, City Attorney Pete Holmes … Also tonight, the Tuesday night stand-up paddleboarding event is back at Alki Kayak Tours, 5-8 pm … And 6 am-6 pm, you can turn out in support of Running For Hope (read the preview here). … More on the WSB West Seattle Events calendar!

    “In other news, famed seafood scion Charlie Tuna Jr. (adopted) has been accused of threatening a paparazzi. Calls to Tuna’s publicist for comment have not been returned.”

    “So I put my hands up
    They’re playing my song,
    And the butterflys fly away
    Noddin’ my head like yeaaah
    Moving my hips like yeaaah,
    And I got my hands up,
    They’re playin my song
    I know I’m gonna be ok
    Yeah, It’s a party in the USA”

    (Ssorry, it’s what I thought of?! silly caatchy miley cyrus song)

    Lafayette 2nd graders were treated to a swimming lesson during their field trip, led by Instructor Buster Crabbe. Mr. Crabbe is shown here leading the children in pre-swim stretching exercises.

    Did my comment get moderated?

    • WSB June 15, 2010 (8:54 pm)

      35, I found the “giant second graders” comment in the spam basket along with three other bonafide comments from people on other topics. It does an awesome job of snagging hundreds of spam comments a day but does unfortunately have some bycatch. Has since been retrieved.

    LOL! Thanks! I wonder what in that little missive triggered the filter?

    • WSB June 16, 2010 (10:40 pm)

      Some days your e-mail provider is in disfavor with the world – or rejecting other e-mail providers (our domain gets kicked out by it and its sibling domains a lot) – that might have been it. We have many things that trigger the moderation filter but the Akismet spam filter, a wonder to behold, has its own mysterious ever-evolving ways …

Sorry, comment time is over.
