Still no investigation into cooking them alive.


In all seriousness apparently they lack pain receptors?

baking before boiling sounds legit to me. "boiling water? garlic butter? hey, why not try it, could be fun!" crazy crustaceans...

How much for CBD lobsters?

This gave me a flashback to when I was hanging out with a bunch of lobsters getting high, passing the spliff with their huge claws around, laughing and joking - generally having a wild time....

....so many memories within hallucinations.....lol

If they don't want the lobsters to feel pain the should just use a spring loaded window punch on the top to the head before cooking.

In the olden days - when a person was condemned, they were always allowed to have that last smoke/toke...

Maybe we should extend that last rite to the lobsters - before they get window punched in the head.

Acid sure is fun stuff lol

The most valuable lessons I've learned in life involved LSD.

Yeah, can be kinda freaky too when some Lobster Thread on a stoner/growers forum triggers a Lobster smoke - out flash-back, 40 years later....lol

*Ever seen a Lobster handle a bong?

Seriously, I reckon the Lobsters would prefer to be high before, during and after that final moment.

Acid sure is fun stuff lol

Maine sure is weird

Smoked lobster...ganja butter...yum.

One thing everybody seems to have missed. Lobsters don't have lungs. They don't breathe. They don't explain how they got the lobsters high.

Lobsters have gills. They can absorb oxygen through the gills, kind of, if the gills stay cool and moist. Meaning covered in wet cold towels.


Another stupid waste of taxpayer money...

I think they've accomplished what they set out to do and that is to get people talking about their restaurant. Free publicity is the best publicity. I've read this story on many different news outlets in the last week.

Ive cooked literally tons of lobsters over the years. Never heard one scream yet.

You can hypnotize a lobster by standing it on its head and curling its tail. Hold it in place until it is calm and the thing just stays there in that position for a while.

No I can't say I Have ever seen a lobster handling a bong! Looks like you've given me a new item for my bucket list right after item number 1: "Make a bucket list"

I tend to agree. Anyone who serves food to the public is supposed to have training regarding proper food handling via ServeSafe and HACCP.
Smoking out the lobsters is adulterating a product. A form of contamination. They know better, hopefully. Otherwise who knows what's going on in that kitchen.

How many times have you been adulterated in the past week?
