The dinner could run by itself!
A funny video shows a woman, Virginia Simmons, who lives in California, hilariously pulled the whole bag of crabs without being bundled when she was ready to cook them. The crabs escaped from the pot and ran everywhere.

It can be seen in the video that Virginia poured the crabs into the pot, but they quickly escaped from the container. The scene scared her to scream loudly while she seemed to film a footage to record her cooking process.
She quickly grabbed a pair of tongs to catch the crabs and the process was totally chaotic. The crabs were desperately resisting with their claws, with one of them clamped the tongs and struggled the whole time.

Eventually, the cook successfully caught all the crabs back into the pot, but she was so tired that couldn't stop gasping. In order to celebrate the victory, she opened a bottle of alcohol, with half of it was poured into the pot for seasoning, with another half was drunk by her.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep. Kevin Kiley of California said Monday that he's dropping his Republican Party affiliation and will serve as an independent, a change he said will take place immediately.
The two-term congressman faces a tough reelection battle following the redrawing of the state’s congressional boundaries. On Friday, he announced he would be running in a Democratic-leaning district without listing a party affiliation next to his name.
Kiley followed that decision up on Monday by telling reporters that he was asking the House clerk to reflect his change to independent in the House's official roster, though he will still caucus with Republicans to maintain his committee assignments.
“So I will be the sole independent member of the House of Representatives,” Politico quoted Kiley as saying.
With Kiley's move, Republicans will have a 217-214 majority in the House, with one independent. The last independent to serve in the House was Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan, who dropped his Republican affiliation in 2019.
Kiley had looked at an array of options after his district's boundaries were dramatically changed last year. In recent weeks, he was studying whether to run against fellow Republican Tom McClintock in a Republican stronghold or to take his chance in a Democratic-leading district focused in the Sacramento area. He opted for the latter and will be running in the state's 6th Congressional District.
Kiley’s predicament is an example of how the redistricting war that began in Texas, at President Donald Trump’s urging, and drew a swift counter response from Democrats in California, has left some incumbents scrambling to salvage their political careers.
