    Lobsterman!



    Common Name: Lobsterman
    Scientific Name: Homerus americanus
    Geographical Range: Throughout United States and Canada
    Age: 43
    Description: A strange combination of mammal and crustacean, the Lobsterman has the body of a fat human and the forearms of a North Atlantic Lobster. The exoskeleton appears to end just above the wrists.

    It is not known whether or not dropping them in boiling water will bring out the reddish astaxanthin coloration, but it might be fun to try.

    One thing that IS known is that Lobstermen are incapable of reflex-amputation (dropping a limb in defense). Instead, they opt for reflex-bowel movements, loud belching and whining to their wives.

    Habits: Lobstermen are dull-witted creatures that believe themselves to be funny. They spend their days holding up their claws at seafood stores saying, “Look! I have lobster claws! Isn’t that hilarious?”

    The first four hundred times it is.

    Lobstermen, being natural scavengers, gorge themselves on anything they can find, being particularly partial towards inexpensive beer, Nacho-cheese Doritos and day-old burritos.

    Mojo - Is this the giant lobster you were referring to near the San Onofre Nuclear Power Plant?
    I think over again
    My small adventures, my fears.
    The small ones that seemed so big,
    For all the vital things I had to get and to reach.

    And yet there is only one great thing, the only thing:

    To live to see the great day that dawns,
    And the light that fills the world.

    if those are real lobster claws then the lobsters they came from must have been about 200 years old..YUK.

    Additionally,

    Whereas it may seem lobstermen are not well adapted to their surroundings they, nevertheless, are highly specialized creatures.
    The odd appearing appendages, aside from making it easier to scratch their nether regions, makes them nature's most perfect jackalope hunters.

    But alas, due to de-forrestation, global warming and being preyed upon be all other known creatures, both species are in serious decline.

    I haven't heard/seen you work in a jackalope reference in a while.

    Try to scratch your "nethers" with those claws, and you'll probably qualify yourself for a Darwin award.
    stay low... keep moving...
