...conversation returned to the head of the table where Alfred Butterfield was talking not about groupers, nor queen triggerfish, nor toadfish, but sponge crabs. "Sponge crabs dress themselves up to look like sponges," he said, explaining that discriminating fish don't consider sponges good eating, "but little crabs are!" He went on, "We were determined to get them in the picture. We got some little sponge crabs. We left them alone because we wanted them to be happy.

They were fired by the company and arrested, along with Warren Shannon, an electrician, in whose name...
Magnificent Matador (Billy Butterfield; Essex). About as noisy a record as possible, containing an overstimulated chorus chanting, "Matador! Matador!'', a brassy orchestration of the type usually reserved for grand finales, and Ace Trumpeter Butterfield giving his all. From the film of the same name...
