    Well, since crabs have eight legs, and their claws, presumably they are well suited to multitasking in the kitchen – a crab could hold three saucepans, shake two skillets, waggle a wok, juice a lemon and stir the sauce, all at once (using his claws to make obscene gestures at the sous chef, if he’s a celebrity crab chef). Watch out if your chef is a fiddler crab, though, he could turn out to be cooking the books as well.

    It’s like Spongebob for grown-ups. Really weird grown-ups.

    • Queen o' sarcasm says:

      i think weird grown-ups watch spongebob, actually.
      i never really like that show its to creepy,and they kinda forgot all
      the contradictions of living underwater and squidward doesn’t wear any pants!!!!!!!!!!!

  3. BuckInARut says:

    The crab steams along with whores and grams. So he likes them old and young- an egalitarian crab cad.

    Didn’t know gram-ma-maw had it in her though, specially since she’s no longer with us.

  4. moxmox says:

    Tempting… Who can turn down good whore dust. But, I think I’ll come back when the chef is in a better mood.

  5. cevin_cadaver says:

    Oh how I wish there were illustrations!

    • dr handle says:

      When they offer a pop-up menu, the patrons will come flocking. Those plastic models of the dishes as seen in the windows of sushi restaurants offer intriguing possibilities for window dressing.

  6. Ai Nan says:

    Whore dust….? o_0

  7. Matthew says:

    I work in Thailand, and showed this to a Thai I know. It turns out this isn’t Engrish, because it /actually/ says ‘Whore’s dust’.

  8. Matthew says:

    Or, rather, the word for ‘curry’ and ‘whore’ are the same word, with a different tone. And they picked the wrong one.

    • eman says:

      Ah-ha…thank you for the clarification! I was wracking my brain on that one.

    • blueJade says:

      I love making curry, and this piece of information will add a new dimension to the experience. Had me the whore powder, please!

      • dr handle says:

        My husband likes to make up his own curry mix (because I can’t handle chilli at all, so he makes it without) – if he’s in a hurry, he uses whore powder, but I think he enjoys the satisfaction of starting with fresh whore, dicing it up, then crushing it with the mortar & pestle. The smell, mmmmm, it’s always just a bit better with fresh ingredients.

        • blueJade says:

          You’re absolutely right about that, fresh ingredients are far better. Fresh turmeric root is a plus! I like to sprinkle chopped cilantro on top. Fresh whore is a delight!

          • Queen o' sarcasm says:

            Yayyyy!!!!!!!!!!1thats rite that was SARCASM (hence the name )
            and why does my picture in the corner nxt to my name make me look
            so constipated

            • JohnB says:

              I think we can all agree that there is nothing worse than a stale wh0re.

            • dr handle says:

              You don’t get to choose your icon (unless you go to Gravatar, I believe), but don’t worry about it – Brother John’s also looks a bit constipated.

              • Queeno'sarcasm says:

                well its OK but my icon makes me look in pain or well,what i just said in my previous comment

              • Meowth says:

                Correct. Gravatar.com is where I went to upload this lovely picture of myself that you see just to the left of all of my posts.

              • dr handle says:

                I keep wondering if I should get a leetle picture of myself brandishing my wand. Yes, I do keep a wand in my office, and whenever somebody comes and asks for me do so something unreasonable/impossible/unaffordable, I just say “Certainly, just let me wave my wand and say the magic acronyms, FRAP FRET FLIM!… Oh, dear, the wand doesn’t seem to be working today, you’ll just have to resort to making reasonable requests like everyone else”.

                • JohnB says:

                  For years, I often had occasion to tell my clients, “You know, I don’t have a magic wand.” So one client with a good sense of humor bought me a magic wand. But it came back to haunt him, since from then on instead of saying I didn’t have a magic wand, I’d just get it out and start waving it.

    • JohnB says:

      I never could figure out when I told my wife I was going out to pick up some curry she always got mad at me. Now I know I was just picking the wrong tone!

    • Branden says:

      What is really confusing about them choosing to write whore instead of curry is that they used the right word for curry กะัหรี่ which is just their script letters making the sound to say curry (กะ = Ga, หรี่ = re or Ga-re…curry)

  9. Bluebonnet says:

    Exactly what kind of “crabs” are they using?

  10. Steeeeeve says:

    A crab get’s pissed off.
    A crab makes crack.
    A crab gets baked on stringy weed.

    pretty accurate translation?

  11. blueJade says:

    Such a talented crab! I do hope the last item doesn’t mean the crab itself was made into an omelet! That would scarcely be a fitting end.

  12. Anna Rexia says:

    Rock on whore dust woman
    Take your omelet
    Steam your crab

  13. wombot says:

    They all sound like lines from a kid’s book to me. Mr Crab bakes noodles made of green yams. Maybe not the whore dust bit.

    • Queen o' sarcasm says:

      then you should read strongbad ‘s kids book
      becauseits being vanggoriosly awsome!!!!1and at the end people are one fire!!!!!!go to homestarrunner.com and go to SB mail

  14. wombot says:

    I like the titles by whoever runs this site – always makes the engrish funnier.
    Joyful to manufacturer of internet page – therefor they have many cake! Comfortable.

    • Queen o' sarcasm says:

    • Meowth says:

      Don’t lie! You do not plan to give them any cake!

  15. Sam says:

    Wow… The crab did all that and then got cooked in an omelet? Some promotion…

    • riatha82 says:

      That was all I could think of too when I read this.

      Just shows how the working world is… work your ass off, then the boss finds some major way to knock you down a peg. It might be a pretty dramatic example, but hey – somewhere in this world, I’m sure it’s happening right now…

    • dr handle says:

      It think it might mean that this is in fact Chef Crab’s specialty – he comes to the table and cooks your omelet. He can crack eight eggs at once, and with four egg beaters going, it makes for a wonderfully light and fluffy omelet; he’s quite a showman.

    • Jake says:

      Who knows what an omelet gets paid…

  16. JohnB says:

    Green grams reminds me of the old days when I’d invest in a quantity of hash (not corned beef!) and break it up into grams, to cut my costs of getting high, not for profit. (When you smoke most of your product, you ain’t gonna make a profit!) I usually preferred what was called “Red Lebanese,” although “black opiated” was popular too. But sometimes we’d have green stuff with some creative name. Who knows where any of this stuff was actually from, but there was a whole mythology built around it.

    • blueJade says:

      Yes, I too was waiting for a drug reference… It’s the only time my generation paid any attention to the metric system.

      • JohnB says:

        Having taken a double major (biology and psychology) as an undergraduate I had to be fluent in metric. But it’s true that almost any old druggie will have some facility with the metric system. Perhaps that’s a model for the government–you just have to provide some positive reinforcement for using metric!

  17. dardub says:

    Maybe this is a Thai version of a Haiku.

  18. dardub says:

    A crab cook’s whore dust

    A crab bakes noodles made of

    green grams Crab omelet

  19. Shela says:

    green grams…. is that ganja?? :D

  20. blueJade says:

    “The crab steams”? Is he angry?

  21. Big Mac says:

    crabs have 6 legs, their claws count as the seventh and eigth legs

  22. Chipmunk says:

    I wonder if whore dust is anything like the whore flakes we used to get from the Chinese market…

  23. Chobin says:

    “Cook’s” is also the possessive form of “cook”…

  24. Neinna says:

    Yeah, I’ll have the.. uhh…

  25. Lauren says:

    YAAAAAAAAY CAITLYN!!!!

  26. Meowth says:

    It is possessive. It is the cook’s whore dust, and the cook happens to be a crab.

  27. Caitbot says:

    Hooray, the crab cook’s whore dust is legendary! I love Ko Si Chang…when I return in a week, I’m definitely ordering this.

  28. damian says:

    i’ll smoke those green grams any day!!
    wish i had a crab cooking me up a gram of green right now

  29. NickW says:

    It’s hard to be a crab these days. Especially, not when they have to steam and cook whore dust (whatever that is), also bake noodles made of green grams of Crab omelet. Who eats all these stuff by the way…

  30. jane says:

    lolllllll I’m Thai and this is sooo ridiculous. “whore dust” is curry dust… and it’s supposed to be stir-fried crab with curry powder :)

  31. Jizz says:

    If Jesus walked through water, Chuck Norris swam through land
