pet lobsters

 Lobsters might make good pets

Why not visit your local fish store and pick up a pet lobster? I am sure they would live fairly comfortably in standard aquariums.

Lobsters eat fish, have cool claws and can live up to 20 years. people have pet cockroaches, lizards and snakes so why not lobsters?

Contains many lobster references (bizarre!). [DrBob, Jul 11 2002, last modified Oct 17 2004]

       Cut Resarf into chunks and feed it to the lobsters. I'll buy the lobsters - who wants to cut Resarf up?
—thumbwax, Jul 11 2002
   

       Although it's an entertaining thought, it's not an original one.

It was baked by French poet Gerard de Nerval, who used to put a lead on his lobster and take it for walks around Paris.

       thumbwax: I am disgusted at you. How can you advocate such cruelty to inncoent lobsters ? Most of Mr. Resarf's postings indicate that if he is not actually full of sh1t, the relative proportion that substance to his total body mass is remarkably high. You will have the Society for the Protection of Marine Crustaceans after us, with a vengeance. I suggest that dogfood is an entirely acceptable alternative. As to the "cutting-into-chunks" proposal, this seems satisfactory, but I see no merit in proceeding beyond that point.

       How... how... callous of me to have suggested such a thing.
The lobsters must be relieved knowing they will not be suffering from indigestion.

       was bugsy bordering on the whimsical there?
—po, Jul 11 2002
   

       thumbwax: You are forgiven. We all have lapses from time to time. I sympathise with your motives, however.   

       po: who's bugsy ? Me by any chance ? Why bugsy ?

       <useless fact>Lobsters have blue blood</useless fact> at least when oxygen hits it.

       pet lobsters don't sound very fun... you can't pet them, they don't have fur.
—Aurora, Jul 11 2002
   

       Pet lobsters sound like fun... you can pet them and you don't have to clean up the fur afterwards.

       Everybody gets crabs?
—DrBob, Jul 11 2002
   

       blissmiss, I think our blood is blue and turns red when it hits the air. Doesn't yours do the sa.. Crap, maybe I landed on the wrong planet again....

       Resarf is lobster food. Rest In Pieces

       Death *was* soon then.

       Dag, you may be confusing the lobster with the Horseshoe Crab, which has a copper based oxygen carrier rather than iron, like us. Incidentally, the horseshoe crab is closer to a spider than a common crab. Being able to go a year without food probably got it to last a few hundred milion years longer than most of its contemporaries, but being useful to medical testing will probably finish it off. A friend has pet yabbies in a bath in his yard (crawfish to youall).

       This is so baked you deserve to have a lobster in your underpants for bringing it up. Crayfish and lobsters are biologically the same thing. Now go to the pet store, buy a crayfish, and drop it in your tighty whities. Cheers!

       Shouldn't this be in home:pet:crustaceans ?

       before you eat it.

       Then, you could suspend them from your ceiling via strings of elastic and give them a little tug now and again and watch them bounce up and down.

       //I think I'd prefer a pet octopus to a pet lobster, despite it being just a big old snail with arms// - Your octopus lives in a shell?
—wagster, Aug 01 2006
   

       The whole food/pet dichotomy fascinates me. I'll invite you round for a barbecue when the dog pops his clogs.

       //a barbecue when the dog pops his clogs//   

       Your pet dog cooks his *shoes* !?

       [zen_tom], can you back that up with some personal experience or a link?
—normzone, Aug 01 2006
   

       Well, he does have that 'apparently' disclaimer. Personally, I try to avoid eating anything more intelligent than the person serving it to me, hence I don't eat squid, or anything from McDonald's.

       Octopi have beaks. Cuddling up to one might be risky.
—moomintroll, Aug 01 2006
   

       //Octopi have beaks// - WHAAAT?
—wagster, Aug 01 2006
   

       you ARE what you eat!   

       I've read that the palms of a human are quite tasty but then I've just cleared up after the cat in disinfectant...
