lobster giveaway
Just what it says:
An adorable little yarn store called Tess’ Designer yarns (which I patronize today because I wait until the LAST POSSIBLE MINUTE to start knitting my wedding shawl) has a prize drawing. And the prize, it’s brilliant beyond mention: you either get a $50 yarn gift certificate, or TWO LIVE LOBSTERS mailed to your HOUSE. Great for everyone who loves yarn, lobsters or the two indiscriminately.
The stars have already begun to align for this. My brother left me his saltwater fish tank to babysit through the duration of his way-far-away spring internship. He even said I could add more fish and eels and stuff if I wanted. Should fortune smile, Peter, I choose to add two lobsters. May your clownfish learn quickly to avoid them.
Nemo vs the Lobsters? Please keep us posted!!
Are you aware that lobsters might not age? Barring death by misadventure or disease they keep growing. World record is 44lbs. Now you have a goal.
You might need a bigger tank.
Go with the lobsters. Obviously.
For P’s birthday surprise his mom had five Maine lobsters overnighted to us in the desert. Can I just say that receiving a box of LIVE MAINE LOBSTERS from the FedEx man when one has a view of barrel cactus is quite a delight?
Also, Susan Orlean has a new blog for the New Yorker, and today she wrote about choosing one of her chickens to appear on the Martha Stewart show. Tough choice:
