These guys that boil the crawfish know what they are doing. You can see that they have been doing this for a while, and they learned from their dads who learned from their dads, etc. In cajun culture, it seems the men do the barbeque-ing and the crawfish boiling and a lot of the other cooking.
I can't tell you how to boil crawfish, we can just look at the pictures and summarize what's happening together!
Dump the live crawfish in a big pot, hooked up to gas to make the water boil. All sorts of stuff goes in that water (but we will save that for Spice It Up Wednesday, Crawfish Boil edition).
When the little mudbugs are done boiling (no idea how you know when they are done), then you will need a LARGE piece of wood and some heat resistant gloves to pull that bucket out of the boiling water. (Nothing should be moving in the pot anymore. If things are moving, I know they haven't boiled long enough.)
Dump the crawfish into a large cooler. (Those are onions, I think, that were boiled with the crawfish.)
Shake a little Tony's (Who am I kidding? He's holding 2 cans in 2 hands.) Shake a LOT of Tony's in with the crawfish, and then shake the cooler up well.
Then all you need is a tray to hold your crawfish while you dig in!
