I get more grossed out looking at a crawdad than a lobster. Is that weird? Lobster tastes good and all, but I prefer shrimp to lobster any day. Lobster has less of a taste, I think and I get bored easily. Those things are gross-looking and I have zero problems ripping the eyes off of the giant grasshopper-looking thing.

No, I don't live off of them, I don't eat the green shit inside them, yes, they do make a wierd little screaming noise, and no it wasn't my school mascot. The fact is I only have lobster once (if that) a year on the fourth of July, a rough half hour where I get ridiculously painful paper-cut -like cuts on my hands and then proceed to smell like the dumpster behind a seafood restaurant for the remainder of the day. I actually went through a "humanitarian" phase for a few years where the fact that it still had eyes freaked me the fuck out and I wouldn't touch them. This contrasting with the years before when I used to work my ass off trying to pry the eyes off of the thing. Aaaah, childhood.

The professor was lamenting because he was her favorite author. We're analyzing his use of metaphors in that piece.

We've been analyzing his stylistic choices in "Consider the Lobster" in one of my classes since last Wednesday. Methinks this was a tribute to David Foster Wallace.
