  1. I'm so glad Mr. Big Lobster found a home. Since I was a kid, I've had this urge to free the lobsters in tanks because I thought they were cute in their own lobstery way. In fact, before first grade we were in the grocery store, and some kid did take the lobsters out of the tank, and they were roaming the aisles. It was really kinda cool.

    On the other hand, lobster is downright tasty. Although, these days given the ocean pollution I don't think I'd eat one, even if I had the chance.

  2. Oh man, Savanna, lobsters in tanks at the grocery store. That brings back memories. When I lived in TX, there were live lobster tanks and I loved just watching them...they looked so peaceful. lol

    Not much of a seafood eater here, but I agree...the ocean pollution today would stop me in my tracks if I did care for the little, er big buggers. ;)

  6. Ginormous is right, Bree. But then comparatively small when you consider the size of some of the other creatures in the ocean...and that thought just gives me a wee bit of the willies! LOL
