Pick your own lobster!

So this bar put in a machine like one of those arcade claw things where you line it up and it picks up a prize, only at the bar you use the claw to scoop up a live lobster, which as we are wont to do at restaurants, gets cooked. PETA says it's turning torture into a game, but I say it's turning a bottom dwelling ocean roach into a magically tasty treat. Bon Appetit!

The bar did take out the machine though. Boo.

What a pain in the ass. I always suck at those games.

Lobster are bugs. Does peta protect the flies? Lobsters just happen to be sweet delicious bugs.

I have actually played one of these in Louisiana when I was visiting. Being from Minnesota I though it was a great way to "catch" your food.

The deal was: $2 per try and if you were able to score one they would cook it for you for free.

if were independently wealthy and diabolical I would create a very similar game, except on a larger scale, and instead of lobsters, use PETA members

They used to have one of those at the "Carolina Ale House" near my house but they got rid of it a few months back. I never got to try it. 🙁

Those things are hard enough to use when your prize isn't alive and struggling. Sounds like a great way to part fools from their money.

Who cares. Water spiders are sick.
