conversation-continuing crouch

Refers to the humorous-looking but gentlemanly maneuver that you perform when you hafta pass between two people who are speaking with each other, but you still wanna maintain your momma's oft-admonished politeness-directive of "don't stand between two people when they're talking"; what you do as you approach the pair, therefore, is to hastily stoop down far below head-height and then speedily slitther your way through between the two conversers, so that they can continue talking and maintaining eye-contact "over your head". Again, employing the "triple-C" can indeed appear amusing to observers, but they will still be grateful to you for your showing them this extra measure of etiquette, especially if their conversation was rather tense/involved/emotional, they were in a hurry to finish speaking and be on their way, etc.
My local commercial-fishing buddies are fairly causal-minded and know me quite well, but I am sure they still appreciate my always practicing the conversation-continuing crouch whenever I hafta pass between them during a chat.

GIANT HORSE CONCH

The giant horse conch weights over 11lb. Thats a lot of mollusk. The conch as a taste for snails. so when a tiny tulip snail spots one of these behemoths, it knows its in trouble. the snial tries to outrun th big hunter but its like a tiny shuttle facing off with a star destroyer in a battle that moves at a snails pace.
finally its over run. the smell of digesting snail attracts new scavengers.
hermit crabs. instantly the big conch is sourrounded, but the crabs are here for the leftover. theyre after the tulip snails shell. hermit crabs use cast-off shells to protect their soft abdomens from predators. they find an empty shell, use their rear legs to attach to its central clumn and move right in when their current homes grow tight. they have to look for new real estate. the competition is fierce. with the conch ready to release the shell, the housing battle heats up. until one crabs decides to jump in and close the deal. its a risky move, the big chonch could still be hungry, but the risk pays off.
the crafty crab will have plenty of room to grow in his new home. the losing carbs could end up homeless or even worse.
