Lobster anyone???




As lobsters go, this one is not very appetizing — it's white, it's covered with hair, and if you ate it, it would probably taste like rotten eggs.

N.Y. Times here.

I meant to comment on this the other day.

I thought of you when, in the ocean pool, one of my fellow swimmers suddnely duckdived and emerged with the biggest crayish you could imagine. It was crawling about right below him, so the weak and nasty old bugger raced home with it and threw it in boiling water and then ate it.
next day all the old coots were moaning with the very thought of eating that crayfish. I just said: how could you have tossed it into a hot pot? When it had been going about like a friendly companion with you?
Naturally they all just roared at me and I went about my own business but I did recall this big hairy white thing* at the time.

* the lobster in the picture, that is.

I hope that white lobster thing isn't the only one. If there are more I hope they're left alone.

I don't suppose they're very smart, but what do I know... I thought about it while reading your blog the other day...

Undersea Albatross... what if...???

I still do like some nice lobster every once in a while.
