BUBBA, the behemoth lobster, whose presence at a Strip District fish market created national waves, has gone under for the last time....

PETA, what a bunch of loons.
These wackaloons will have us eating dirt flour and rock soup
The "Fish Empathy Project"?
1) What kind of smelly hippies make up this "Project"?
2) Lobsters aren't fish.
Title should have been...BELIEVE IT OR NOT,...My Bad.
the headline led me to believe the former president set a
new record for most BJ's accepted by one prez in the
White House
The largest lobster I ever ate was about seven pounds.
Me too. He was the POTUS, believe it or not. Truth seems stranger than fiction sometimes......
Lobsters, belonging to the same phylum as insects, pretty much gross me out. :)
I just can't get past the fact that I'm essentially eating a large ocean-going wood louse.
I dunno what it is...I can eat cow and pig just fine, but if it's got more legs than four it gives me the heebie-jeebies.
Anyway, I'm told Lobster is best when it's shell is still reasonably soft after a molt and it's young, within the 7 year range, and past that the meat gets somewhat stringy.
Lobster used to be considered servant food in colonial times because there used to be so many of them, you could go collect hundreds of them in tidepools on the beach at low tide, and they were significantly larger, reaching as many as five feet in length.
By those standards, Bubba was a shrimp. (horrible pun intended.) And if lobster meat gets more unapalatable with age, you can figure there was a reason those larger, older lobsters of years gone by were considered something less than a delicacy.
Good run, Bubba...35 years is nothing to sneeze at when your brain is even smaller than a Democrat's. :)
I believe "dirt flour" would be made from dirt.
"I dunno what it is...I can eat cow and pig just fine, but if it's got more legs than four it gives me the heebie-jeebies."
I'm sure Bill was counting on making it into Ripley's one way or another, bummer for his legacy!
"Good run, Bubba...35 years is nothing to sneeze at when your brain is even smaller than a Democrat's".
Where is the proof of this?
Bubba was likely the last intelligent critter left in the N.E. ,blue country, lower the flags to half mast, and play Taps, for Bubba!
Heinz no doubt....
Very good...beat me to it!! *Lol*!!
Agreed. If it wasnt for that damn Philadelphia, Pennsylvania would be a red state.
I weigh 180 myself.
