I'm totally loving the imagery: lobster holding pencil. Reminds me of Zoiberg (sp?) on Futurama. But, if you're interested, there is a more humane way of preparing lobster at home. Put the lobster in the sink and start the water running, gradually increasing the temperature from cold to warm. At the end, the lobster will have fallen asleep and then you can put it in the boiling water, without having major anxiety attach (or flailing lobster claws). I'm chicken in the fact that I let trained chefs do the dirty work for me.

BTW, I found your comment about not leaving the house after dark amusing. I didn't know you had a pesky vampire problem in your neighbourhood!
