Dead Lobster Walking….Crawling…Something…

CrustaSun -- Old Sparky For Lobsters

Even though I am a fan of “Food Snuff Films”, otherwise known as “Iron Chef”, I find I am quite incapable of actually killing my own food. I grew up in the suburbs, far from farms or even butchers; to me, meat is something that grows inside styrofoam and plastic wrap. (Dear PETA people: I have seen your movies. They make me want to order a Big Mac. So please don’t, ’cause I’m on a diet and a Big Mac is too many ‘points’.) Anyway, I also greatly enjoy seafood, especially lobster, or “Cockroach of the Sea”, as my wife calls it. But could I murder “Snappy” if it came down to it? I don’t know, but, since I am a techno-geek, I would never use something like a knife (despite the chance to do the ‘Far, far, better thing’ speech), when I could use the CrustaStun! First, it’s a truly horrible pun (the best kind!). Second, I can do any of a dozen great prison movies, including mournfully playing the harmonica and waiting for a last minute pardon from the governor, which will never come, because I’ll be getting hungry and my wife will be saying “Get on with it, already!”

Yep, that or some reference to a certain crustacean whose friend has the suggestive name, “Fry.”
