I often walk past this sign near my office and wonder why the lobster is angry. (It’s the spices, i know, but I like to make up other reasons why!)

    wow – that was smart. it never even occurred to me why the lobster would be spicy. i want to go up to maine and have some lobstas there.

    maybe the lobster is angry b/c it’s being served in a restaurant that nobody knows about? and that’s totally out of the way? and it feels it that fame has been pulled out of its claws?

    i meant “why the lobster would be angry (b/c it was spicy)”

  • rachelle

    I knew what you meant. Those are all good reasons why the lobster may be angry.

    The lobster Jess’s mom made at The Cape last year was the best I’ve ever had. Seriously, my mouth waters every time I look at the photos!

    i know! jess, rachelle has talked up your mom’s food so much – i am DEFINITELY inviting myself up to the cape this summer!! ;)

  • rachelle

    I think they’re going to be there when I’m in WI. sucks.

  • Richard

    You don’t have to come to WI if you don’t want to. I mean it’s not like Jess (my daughter) will even know you’re here.

  • rachelle

    i knew you were going to be a jerk and say something like that. it sucks that they’re going to the cape when i’m away, not that im going to see jessica in wi
