So last night I'm in a restaurant and I order a lobster.
When the waitress brings me said lobster I asked her what his name was.
She kinda looked at me with those blank eyes that wait staff sometimes have.
"He didn't have a name."
Something is wrong with that.
They bring a live animal into their restaurant, put him in the lobster tank to peacefully live out their lives (or so Mr. Lobster thinks), and then they boil him alive to please me.
The least they could do is name the poor guy (before they boil him alive to please me)
Now I know what you're thinking: Why don't you just name him yourself when they bring him out on the platter?
BECAUSE I DON'T NAME THE DEAD...THAT'S WHY!!
Though I suppose I'll now start naming all the dead animals I eat. I'm guessing tonight I will be dining with Beef Richards and his pal, Gravy.

ReplyDeleteSaid lobster's favorite Beatles songs:
ReplyDeleteHELP!
HELP!

(Cake needs to get better fast.)
If IANO's lobster sang Beatles tunes:
ReplyDelete- And Your Shell Can Singe
- Back in the W.A.T.E.R
- Pass Me By (Please oh Please)
- Happiness Isn't a Warm Pot
- Boil Boil Me Don't
(Hmmm...maybe I'm not quite better yet, after all.)

ReplyDeleteActually, I'm in less-than-sunny New Hampshire for the summer. We have a home in Laconia, New Hampshire...I'd prefer to stay in Florida, even in the hot summer (got a delightful pool you know) but I'm out-voted by my wife. (for some reason she gets two votes to my one!) So...I'm posting a bit more to my blog because I have less distractions in New Hampshire. Thanks for noticing though!...Paul

ReplyDeletepersonally, i dont think i could eat something i had named. it'd be like eating my pet. and that is just sad. i like flowers and honey better :)
ReplyDeleteSo, was I tasty?

ReplyDeleteHe said he was going to name his *meat*
ReplyDeleteKinky!
Ya know, if the lobster had been prepared differently its name would definitely have been Newburg.
ReplyDeleteAlso: I believe that the lobster's relatives have sworn vengeance on you. Did you see some chasing after your car down the street today? They're pretty easy to outdrive.
NO LOBSTER FOR YOU, SPARKLE!
ReplyDeleteToo late, Lobster Nazi. I had a lobster named George Marbury-Butterdip, III for dinner last night. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteYou killed my father, prepare to die!
ReplyDeleteOh, man. The indigestion isn't enough?
