I hope you are hungry. Do you like Crab?

Well this may not be the place for you. Something smells fishy - not!

I actually didn't notice that I caught myself on 'film' in this one - good thing I was reflected right at the door post. As you all know I like to remain anonymous as I write words for a spongy cartoon guy.

On with the post.

It bothers my kids when I walk down the street reading everything. Well, that is the way I learned my first Spanish, so it's a habit of sorts. So I see this place that decided to put up a sign saying "Crab" - I had to ask my self what this place does. If they sold crabs I certainly didn't smell it, and it's summer down here.

For my Spanish readers, this place is called "Congrejo" if my memory serves me.
And the sign translates...

Color

Hair cut

Straightening

Tinting just the tips (highlights?)

Brushing

The "dsd" stands for desde which is "starting at" then the price.

again I got my self in the reflection I don't like pictures on line

Living here in the next Venezuela most prices are chalked in daily. After twenty years of calculating in my head to figure out if something is expensive or not, you get used to it. These are "divide by 20" to get the dollar amount. In other words if you just want them to touch a brush to your hair, it will cost you $13.00 and up.

These thoughts all happened in the little head of bubble blowing sponge-bob. When I see "crab", I think 'Krusty Krab' and not 'How about a hair cut'.

But that's just me. In Spanish Crab probably means "the envy of all other women"

A bit more about a new friend who decided to make me a "Portada" - which I used to separate parts of my post above.

Jose's Place

I am not sure if he ships all around the world, but I was offered a t-shirt a few months back. He makes cups, hats, graphics (both physical and digital) and I am sure he works for steem.

Its so nice @sponge-bob thanks for sharing it
graphics products of steem good work

I got a message from a friend saying "Here's a gift for you" - the nice guy is in the picture. I like having a new portada (never heard the word before)
Everything for the good of Steemit and the platform!

It was really a great coincidence! Because I did not know you used the "bikini bottom" image as the end of each post hahaha. And if I work by steem, any order to order!

I love crab ! :)

Nice info in article for spanish to English words

Nice article, good info for language

wow very nice :))

hehe, you do have the soul of humor @sponge-bob, the words you write can cheer me up. I like this with your post. That's very cool, thanks for sharing a word that can entertain the crowd. Hopefully you will succeed to work... :)

I did not know you were from Venezuela. Greetings Bob

No, I don't speak Spanish that well. I live in the next country in line to become Venezuela. Prices going up and paper becoming worthless. I have lots of very nice Venezuelan friends who have escaped the crisis there only to relive it here (in the next year or so).

Holding Steem, Dash, Ethereum, and other crypto currencies that still work is the only protection.

I like this post, keep sharing things like that, I like your way of expressing yourself, I started to follow you and I will continue reading your post. luck

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Sponge pants square bob. lol That's pretty crazy to name a barber shop, "Crab". That's like naming a restaurant, Tires. Thanks for the share, keeps me wondering what other weird named things are out there. For now, I'm going to keep the idea of naming a bar or pub near a University, the Library, to myself.

Here's one from a previous post. See if you can guess what they sell.

Phone cases? Lol. That's crazy!

Very informative article keep uploading.

İt is wonderful. You are awesome @sponge-bobunnamed (3).gif

Nice article and it's really very expensive hair salon it's really good one thanks for share it.

That's what one of my kids said -"wow, that's expensive" but it's hard to tell when every single item in the whole country goes up $3 to $4 every other week.

It's all about getting those angles so you capture the picture, but don't catch yourself. It's like being a cameraman in a movie. That's why people always look at weird angles when looking into a mirror. They're not looking at the person, they're looking at the viewer! Ha.
I like your "Portada." Looks good.

All the thanks goes to a man I never met who lives in Paraguay. I hope to travel their someday. It looks awesome.

hehe, it's so cool @sponge-bob, I really like the writing you write, like the story in a movie. Speaking of language is indeed very difficult for us to understand, because in general, that many people know only English. Maybe if the language of other countries, very few people know. thank you

When I see "crab", I think 'Krusty Krab' and not 'How about a hair cut'.

You’re not the only one, lol. They must have good service to continue to use that name.

Here, any English word on your sign makes you successful. There is one called "Shock Hair" which brings to mind fingers in a light socket. Hehe.

Lol, that place must charge for that kind of hair style. ;)

Oh Crap ...time to eat a crab :D

hola pronto puboicare mi foto con un logo de steemit tengo pendiente hacerlo desde el año pasado jeje

Yeah man!! I like sponge bob it's my favourite cartoons serials 👻 I use to see them in my prime time even. I wish I could have this name

Lol... Definitely thought of "Krusty Krab" when I saw the word "crab" in your post, because you know... you're Spongebob :D
What if "Krusty Krab" just decided to call themselves "Crab" from now on and they offer haircuts and so on? Hehe...

I like doing these posts here in the middle of a Hispanic country, but these kids of posts don't usually do well with votes. No cares. I do what I like to do.
