Largest lobster I ever saw was at the fish market in Amsterdam. We thought it was stuffed - it was sitting on its own table. We thought it was a big plastic advertisement for the fishmonger, and then it moved, and I nearly had heart failure. It wasn't for sale - it was a pet, of all things. The vendor told us it weighed close to fifteen pounds, and I had no trouble believing that. Sea monster is right.
Their flesh looks like food. Their tails look like a strange way to spend an afternoon.

Deena, I missed your original post, but yes, I would be happy to keep an eye on meet Nick.
Thanks, Lee. I think he's a nut, but he thinks he can save money most of the summer, drive to CA with two of his friends, find an apartment, get jobs, and start knocking on musical doors so one day he can be rich and famous. The whole plan makes me queasy, so I'm thankful it's not my plan.
He got excited about the Nilly tour when I mentioned it, and said he'd like to meet Buffistas. Of course, he thinks he needs no eye keeping. And, even more thankfully, he didn't ask me to find someone he could batten off of, because then I'd have to beat him down. Getting to meet cool adults who have full and interesting lives wouldn't hurt him though.
Deena, he'll have a wonderful time.
I thought I'd been ready for this for a long time, most especially every time I tried to go into his room. Today, nsm.
My mother wasn't really ready, and I moved to Austin in my 30s.

Deena, I'd be glad to make him my slave keep an eye on him!
(Did he get his cookies yet?)
Steph cracked me up.
I'm a little bummed we didn't think of one of those 'school trip to the capital' giant photos in time to put it together. that would have rawked.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking of, too.
You know what's really creepy? land crabs. They look like they're just waiting for you to fall asleep so they can come eat you. Ick. There were large numbers in all the grassy areas near Marigot Bay, which is the first place I'd seen them.
