Except in New Zealand where a 'crayfish' is what I would call a lobster (salt water crustacean).

Hmm, can't think of one off hand. Hushpuppies are as tasty as crayfish, but once again it's a false comparison. ;) But seriously, though, all nomenclatural nitpicking aside, your central point was valid.

Actually, I think the term you're looking for is "mudbug" for a crawfish...

Getting back to the white shoes. I went through that scene several times. Those are boots with mud caked on them up to ankle height.

Looked just like my rubber boots at work the time our Caustic solution tank got holed. Had to wade around in 6" of that stuff.

Well I notice in 'Ariel' that Nathan checks out Jewel when she walks away. After he hugs her.

Where ARE you from? I never thought I'd here another browncoat referencing Louzeeanna Lobsters, much less callin' 'em anything but "crayfish" which is so wrong.

Good point, Bleyddyn.

They do have freshwater crayfish in New Zealand, but the Kiwis use the same name for a salt water crustacean too. The marine decapods in question are what we here in Florida call spiny lobster (they have no enlarged claws and defend themselves by "fencing" with their long, spiny antennae).

It's actually hard to tell because we see them from such a distance, but I tend to agree with Thundar. While the color is strikingly light compared to everything else in the scene, the front is too bulky/wide and the back part seems too low to actually be white sneakers. Unless they were big fuzzy white slippers he's wearing over his boots? ;)

Jayne, your mouth is talkin. Might want to look into that.
