He'd be chewy and nasty.

I concur.

Tried a really LARGE lobster  meat was tough and it was downright nasty tasting.

Few other people I know tried really big lobsters against my advice and came to the same conclusion.

Also remember reading this somewhere afterwards.

Really cool to look at and say "oh wow look at the size of that thing" but not good eating and definately not worth the price

Yeah, I've heard it was considered cruel to be served lobster so many times a week if you were a prisoner.  Ironic.

Not fussed on lobsters rather have a Steak. But from what I've heard they might be wasting their money as old lobsters taste crap, can't remember the best age for eating them but friends had one that was 60 something and it was awful.

OMG... Bubba is Dead!!!

He died at the zoo in a quarintine tank.

:confused:

Well, that should cheer up some of you bloodthirsty Neo-Cons. You've been screaming for the death penalty for days now, both for Bubba and the children, looks like you finally got your way.

I'd go for a walk on the beach to calm myself down but the water would only remind me of poor Bubba.
