Yep, I'm old.

This morning for breakfast at our radio group we had boiled Maine lobster, melted butter, baked potato, corn on the cob, cole slaw and rolls, all delivered by a Hollywood Slots showgirl wearing the traditional bikini outfit--feathered plume and all. I couldn't wait for her to leave so we could enjoy an incredible breakfast. Can you say geezer? Now where's my Geritol?

Moe,

I'm ashamed to say that lobster for many of us in our neck of the woods is as common as burgers and hotdogs. Some years it gets a bit tiring.

Nelson, I'm right down the street from you- in NH. And there is no such thing as too much lobster.

Moe,

Pas moi, my friends. I don't like food that squeaks as you chew it, so count me out with lobster.

And liver, actually.

A real geezer would have offered her a sweater.
A really old geezer would have said,"I think I'm suppose to like this, but I can't remember why."

And liver?... love it... smothered with onions.

In that case, you can't eat anything while walking along Ogunquit Beach.

Lobster was originally considered gauche plebeian fare in New England until it became a tourist treat and thus a restaurant staple. I love seafood, but don't care for Lobster. Showgirls are another matter.

Yes, interesting history on lobster- no one but the fisherman ate it. It used to be considered peasant food. Lucky darned peasants if you ask me.

Oysters, too. They were so plentiful back in the Pilgrim days they were nothing special.

I am still amazed that anybody ever took a look at a lobster and said, "We can eat that. But first, we'd better toss it, live, into a pot of boiling water."
