Lobstered out?

I would like to attempt to achieve this.

For what anecdote is worth, my sister's CP affects her right side and her right leg is shorter and her right foot is a size smaller. My mother's scoliosis shows as a visible S-curve of her spine. (I got the bad knees.)

This happened to me on the cruise with my mom. I kept ordering and ordering lobster. Then one night, I was looking at the menu and said "I think I'll have the chicken, I'm tired of lobster" My mom said "Yes, it was only okay last night". We looked at each other and burst out laughing.

I don't like lobster. Or crab. Too sweet.

The status is NOT quo.

Kat, it's like that PT noticed you were juggling chainsaws, and thought it would be useful to set them on fire.

The idea of being lobstered out is like "money can't buy happiness." I'd like to try and see for myself.

Word, Ginger.

Lobster is yummy, but I prefer crab. When I was a kid, we had a family tradition--instituted by a family friend who came to visit every year around that time--of having Dungeness crab on Christmas eve. It was delicious. We still do it every few years because YUM!

I had to give up on lobster when I couldn't hack the butter any more -- dipping in drawn margarine is just not the same. 'You will not believe it's not butter' my ASS. At least as far as dipping goes, anyway.

Anne, I'm so sorry about Jeeves!

Juliebird, you're right, that's a harsh law -- I bet my brothers-the-NJ-cops would agree with you, even if they're sworn to uphold the laws.

Anne, I'm so sorry for your loss.

All the summers I spent in Maine has left me thinking that lobster isn't a special occasion food, and there are a lot of things I'd rather have. However, there is a place in Wiscasset that had the best lobster rolls, and I am looking forward to one of those in July.

Shrimp, on the other hand, I have very strong feelings about. They're bottom feeding garbage, and I don't understand why anyone would pay to eat them. See? Strong.

DH is gone to Geneva, and for various reasons I could not go on this trip. In September, he's going to Zambia, and I need to make some time to figure out if a safari is possible for us then. ETA: Who knew you could fly to Lusaka for $800!?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

They're bottom feeding garbage

Lobsters, on the other hand, feed on only the finest shit that falls to the bottom of the ocean.

I love all shellfish, as long as I don't have to see their heads which remind me how much they look like giant bugs. (I can't eat shrimp since I noticed it made my mouth itch about a year ago, but everything else, gimme more.)
