What did he pay?

We live it up tonight.

$5.00... not sure if that's per lobster or per pound.

Don't try to figure it out. Advanced math might give you a headache, dummy.

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.

In Des Moines supermarkets sell it for two bucks a pound. Vending
machines.

I said GOOD beer. Belgian.

Although I have to admit that for Mexican beers, I like Bohemia or
Tecate much better than Corona. More body and better flavor for a
light, lager style beer.

The big Canadian exports are just so-so, barely better than
Budweiser. They have some excellent craft brewed beers, but they
aren't typically available in the states.

These days, if I'm going to drink a beer, it's typically a craft-
brewed American or a Belgian. Miller Light is for boiling shrimp. :-)

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.

Tom, Lots of places carry live lobster. Like Wal-(gangster) Mart super
stores. he cold pick out his lobsters, and send him the balance. a lot
cheaper than trying to pack fresh ones and hope they get there
unscathed and smelly.
