I have many fond memories of Ocean City, Maryland. Back in the early 90′s I did a few DJ gigs there. I traveled there many times afterwards to enjoy the beach and party scene. They have awesome seafood as well. One of the recent catches was a Blue Lobster.
OCEAN CITY, Md. (WJZ) — A group of Maryland watermen make a rare catch off the coast of Ocean City: a lobster that is bright blue!
Mary Bubala explains he’s become an overnight sensation and is now headed for a life of fame.
It was a routine day on the water for the crew of the Pot Luck out of west Ocean City. But when the day’s catch is in, it’s anything but routine. A bright blue lobster was mixed in among its red and brown brothers and sisters. It’s a genetic pigment mutation thought to only occur in one of every two million lobsters.
The boat’s captain, John Gourley, and mate Tim Aulinskis knew they had something special. The crew of the Pot Luck brought the lobster–who they nicknamed Toby–from 100 miles off the Ocean City coast all the way back to Martin Fish Company, where he’s become a celebrity overnight.
That’s a gorgeous Lobster. I would not kill or eat it, but keep it as a pet.

I think lobster is the most over hyped food since Beef-O-Roni
and people say there is no blue food…

I recall a George Carlin routine about the lack of “blue food”….blueberries don’t count because they’re purple.

Domo Arigato!
A friend of mine told me some months ago that a Boston apprenticeship indenture dating from Colonial times specified that the master could not feed his apprentice(s) lobster more than three times a week, or he would suffer penalties.
Lobster back then was a cheap food, easily caught, and left to themselves masters would have fed their apprentices on it constantly rather than spend money on something more expensive.

For some stupid reason this post reminds me of this..
Years ago I was visiting my aunt in Corpus Christie; we were watching Lonesome Dove and I was laying on the couch. Something caught my eye on my chest and I recognized it as a scorpion. I jumped up and brushed it off in on fluid move. It was a tiny sucker, less than 1″. The scorpion was never found and my aunt and her bf denied that it could have been. I had never seen on in “real” life and told them -- “well, I saw what I saw”. Left and went back to the valley (Rio) and Aunt has to call me a week later and apologize because the had found a nest in the bottom of their laundry basket.
My one and only encounter with a scorpion.
@ Dolphin:
The smaller the Scorpion, the more deadly it is I read.
OK should I order the shrimp parmigiana or go for sushi?
I admit, I am one of the elite who likes to eat lobster. But bugs I cannot tolerate.
@ brookly red:
Get the shrimp. Damn that sounds good.

We have a good friend (refer to him as a brother); he is a professional exterminator. He and hubby found a large black widow in the garage. They came and got me knowing I was a big photographer to see if I wanted to get pics of it. I did and then the debate ensued on how to kill the said black widow. It was on a web between the bumper of the truck and the garage floor. While the exterminator and hubby were debating this, I simply knocked down the web and killed the stupid spider. The exterminator friend freaked on this.
Stupid. It is a bug less than 1″.
I loose it with 1″ stink bugs. I think I need meds and intervention for stink bugs.
