No need to own a lobster boat...the fisherman are bringing truckloads of

We live it up tonight.


Try shipping them somewhere. *Can't find the packaging and dry ice is
only available in 200 lb blocks around here. *Add the increase in
shipping charges because they are live....

Unbelievable.


Just bring me some good beer and we'll call it even.


Beer is already purchased.

I'm going to get those freakin' lobsters to you if it kills me.

Unreal - I can get three pounders for $10 bucks a piece and it's going
to cost me $45 to ship 'em.

I'll figure something out.
