The Lobstercam. Strangely mesmerizing.
Live from Halifax harbour, Lobstervision:

One lobster dead or dying in the net and one scraping at the walls of the trap in a panic. It'd be better if they were having coffee while reading the morning paper.

That fish doesn't give a fuck.

Frankly, I had similar thoughts. Makes me think twice about eating lobster again. Though I am sure that will pass.

I'm enjoying it.
Food dies so I can eat it. I'm okay with that.

I feel like that sometimes. Usually I bump into my liquor cabinet at one point or another and then I settle down a bit.
Brandine: Now Cletus, if I catch you with pig lipstick on your collar one more time you ain't gonna be allowed to sleep in the barn no more!
Cletus: Duly noted.

Lobsters are best not observed in their natural habitat. Seeing them move around makes you uncomfortably aware of how closely related they are to cockroaches (especially Caribbean lobsters, since they don't have claws). After diving in St. John it took me a while to feel OK about eating them again.

What? Lobsters are no more related to Cockroaches than Crabs are to Ants. Insects =/ Crustaceans. Originally Posted by Pegleg

They're all arthropods, but that's about it. It would be like saying I'm not gonna eat beef because naked mole rats look like sausage covered in ballsack. Originally Posted by Tippster

I was wondering about the noise. Was thinking propellers but you would think that would fade in and out. Originally Posted by scottyb

Those wooden traps are heavy as fuck. As a kid I had a 10 trap license and would use whatever I could find used or washed up after a storm. I'd never bother dragging a wooden one home.
Wooden traps do make a sweet coffee table though

This is how I like to see Lobstah
People should learn endurance; they should learn to endure the discomforts of heat and cold, hunger and thirst; they should learn to be patient when receiving abuse and scorn; for it is the practice of endurance that quenches the fire of worldly passions which is burning up their bodies.
--Buddha

I was gonna say the guy in the trap looks a bit steamed. But compared to that guy ^^^ he's cool as a cucumber.

The one thing I miss about living in Massachusetts is that I could take lobsters as a diver. They were a lot of fun to hunt.

Watching a lobster in a trap is about as exciting as starring in the tank at Red Lobster, I don't sea food any different.
I agree it is a constitutional right for Americans to be assholes...its just too bad that so many take the opportunity...iscariot
