Lobster vs Crab Filmed Using Manfrotto Modopocket
I just got a new portable pocket camera support made by Manfrotto. Manfrotto is the gold standard in design and what the professionals use for camera supports such as tripods. Most professional photographers and videographers have some of their equipment. I was reading a tech site which listed top ten must have gadgets for photographers and the Manfrotto Modopocket was listed and it looked like a very interesting alternative to having to carry a tripod around for those situations when you want to take a long exposure or conduct an interview without the shake and vibration which can make an interview look less than professional (not that anything I do should ever be confused with something professional).
I went to the reviews on the little piece of equipment and the people who had purchased it all wrote glowing reviews. The prices I saw listed for them in a google shopping search ranged from $20-$35. I got mine from Adorama Camera for $20 including free shipping. I got to use it a bunch yesterday and I am extremely happy with the purchase.
It folds up flat at the base of the camera and makes my Sony DSC H20 still pocketable which to me is crucial. The camera you can’t pocket is worth 20% of the camera I can always have on me to capture stuff for you guys. The construction is solid and engineering a marvel. I’m really digging it.
Check out the first video I took with it below. Click on the HD version to see the results I was able to achieve shooting inside of a lobster crate with zero clearance. The camera was sitting flush inside the back of the crate. The sound you hear during the lobster vs crab segment is the hum of our lobster tank pumps.
Here’s a link to where you can get it
Here is a bunch of pictures of different people using the Tiny Manfrotto Modopocket

Banana’s Mystery Item REVEALED!
Banana’s Mystery Item REVEALED!
From, deb Clarke;
1920’s American Dancer/Film Actress/Writer Louise Brooks may have worn panties very similiar to the panties hanging from Bananas’ tin ceiling while dancing a fan dance in Paris, or in film, or with the Ziegfield Follies. our feathered panties are from a long closed 1930’s Miami Beach nightclub. the g-string guess was pretty close, but these babies are many strands away from a ‘g’. btw: her helmet haircut became the iconic hairdo of the times. perhaps Betty Page copied Louise’s ‘doo’.

Also, if you go there early in the morning, you’ll see them!
A lot of them cleaning/picking up the place.

How many times do I have to appologise to the readers of GMG?
How many times do I have to beg Joey to let me post again after I posted a childish photo of A Photoshoped Joey sitting on a toilet or Sharons name tatooed on someones butt. I don’t know if the hurt YOU caused me will ever go away.
How many times do I have to promise and promise never to ever post another Childish or Disgusting Photo like the one below?
- A Childish and Disgusting Photo I will never post again
Frank I’ve realized whatever I do, I’ll never regain your Trust in me.
You Hurt me!

The 1255 Food Posts In The Past Two Years Post That Turned Into A Diatribe About Categories
It has come to my attention when clicking on the Eats category in the category pull down section in the right hand column of the Blog that GMG has 1255 posts in the “Eats” category. Now some most of you may not know what that means technically speaking but to further explain, most every time we make a post little boxes get checked off which are categories which I set up so that people can go directly to the certain category they may be interested in. There is a “Gloucester At Dawn Category” which gets a checkmark every time I post one of the Gloucester At Dawn series and then it gets categorized. There is a “Fishermen Profiles” category, “Gloucester Doors”, “Art”,”Working Boats”, “What Up Homie” and a whole bunch of other categories which break things down for people.
I put in extra steps to add tags on each post so that people can do searches on certain subjects also (another way to make the blog easily researchable). It is extremely time consuming to add in these extra steps but it also makes GMG an unbelievable resource by being able to document and find certain subjects by using keyword tags, in conjunction with dates of certain events and the categories.
Anyway the point of this whole post rambling diatribe was originally to simply point out that over the past couple of years that we’ve given highlight to over 1254 area dishes at local restaurants and chefs. That’s pretty astonishing really.
Feel free to check out the category pull down in the lower right hand column of the blog which can be found here for all you folks that only get the feed at the end of the night and don’t actually visit the site.
Just go to GMG and scroll down the right hand column til you see this drop down box titled “Select Category” click the little arrow and the drop down box will reveal all the different categories you can peruse at your leisure.
It looks like this-
