Bubba, left, a 23-pound lobster pulled from the waters off Nantucket, Mass., is in a tank beside your average 1.5 pound lobster at Wholey's fish market in Pittsburgh, Tuesday, March, 1, 2005. The big crustacean received a reprieve from being dinner and will be moving off to the Pittsburgh Zoo. (AP Photo/Keith Srakocic)

They'd better keep an eye on him.
He'll eat the smaller lobsters if he getys the chance.

That would make the crustacean older than Warner Bros

Even older than Joan Rivers?

Might be why he's in there with a smaller one right now. Thing has to eat sometime. Whats a $25 meal for his biggest attraction?

Hey, if I was the owner I would've sold tickets for a shot at the lobster cocktail sauce dunk tank!

...so what is the life span of a lobster anyway? Glad he's going to a good home; he looks like a bully good stud and I hope there are plenty of female lobsters there so that he can repopulate our dinner tables.

Yikes that thing could break my forearm with those pinchers.

Why is this thing going to a Pittsburgh zoo? Seems like F'N Kerry would introduce a bill to repatriate all humongous lobsters to their areas of origin, namely Whaling Capital USA, Nantucket.

For some reason that's making me really hungry. All I can think about are those claws, and how much of that good claw meat there'd be to dip in butter!

I'd better go get some lunch.

Lobster penny bouts.
"5 bucks on the underdog."
"Yer crazy!"

Yeah, that monster does have to eat something sometime.
He'd actually be good advertisement.
"We have the best lobster in the area, even Bubba agrees!"
Cue shot of monster lobster menacing the smaller ones.

Well, as Tom Horn, the legendary cowboy once remarked when confronting his first lobster meal, "I don't think I ever et a bug THAT big before..."
