Is That a Tomalley in Your Pocket or are You Just Happy to See Me?

This weekend my husband and I read the following on the Daily Special marquee of a local seafood restaurant:

LIVE MAINE LOBSTERS IN OUR LOUNGE DAILY 11AM-7PM

It's a unique concept, that's for sure, but I'm curious as to the rationale behind such a promotion. Assuming the lobsters are just lounging around, are they hoping you'll come in for a brisk bisque nooner, and fall for a crusty redhead you'd like to have later for dinner? And aren't there sanitation and safety issues to consider? You'd think the Society for the Safe Cracking of Crustaceans would be on this like Anna Nicole Smith on a seafood buffet.

We thought about stopping in just to quench our curiosity, but we were both wearing sandals and thought that would be just too creepy crawly.

Gawd. I can't believe I just wrote this post and worse, am considering hitting the "publish" button.

What's wrong with me?
What have I become?

It's gotta be the "stuff."

Momma always said "Never play pocket pool in public with alpaca."
Momma knew and I shoulda listened.
