Do lobsters suffer?
Get over the guilt and "terminate the lobster," says Sam Sifton in the New York Times. After all, it, it's high summer, you're barefoot, "the water is boiling," and you're hungry.

RIP David Foster Wallace
If you consider yourself an admirer of literary legerdemain, you owe it to yourself to try reading David Foster Wallace. I say "try" because Wallace isn't the most accessible of writers. His lobster essay is like a lobster dinner hosted by Norman Mailer and Rodney Dangerfield.
Consider the Lobster: And Other Essays
It's a well-accepted proposition that Wallace, a MacArthur Foundation "genius" grant recipient, is one of the most brilliant essayists alive. But it's another matter altogether whether his work-at once luminous, provocative, digressive, and frustrating-finds the audience it deserves.
Amazon Price: $10.19 (as of 07/10/2009)
Consider the Lobster: And Other Essays
This audiobook is like no other-not for the fabulous essays or deft narration, but for its inclusion of footnotes. Audio footnotes? It's quite simple. When Wallace reads his plentiful footnotes, which as fans know are anecdotal asides rather than bibliographic references, his voice changes tone. At first, this audio wrinkle sounds odd. But the novelty quickly fades and the parentheticals play as effective and amusing a role as in his print work, perhaps more so since here flow can be better maintained.

The Secret Life of Lobsters: How Fishermen and Scientists Are Unraveling the Mysteries of Our Favorite Crustacean (P.S.)
Chronicles the eternal struggle between lobstermen who would catch every lobster until all are gone and marine biologists who try to talk some sense into them.

Lobster Chronicles, The: Life On a Very Small Island
The author gave up her gig as captian of a swordfishing boat to pursue the life of a lobsterwoman.
Amazon Price: $11.16 (as of 07/10/2009)
Lobsters: Biology, Management, Aquaculture and Fisheries
That's right, a lobster textbook. For true lobstermaniacs.

A Little Lobster Music
Rock Lobster (Album Version)
Amazon Price: $0.99 (as of 07/10/2009)
The B-52's
Amazon review: The centerpiece is the 6:49 opus "Rock Lobster," which demonstrates the ne plus ultra of wackiness and fun for the quintet:
We were at the beach
Everybody had matching towels
Somebody went under a dock
And there they saw a rock
It wasn't a rock
It was a rock lobster!
If the B-52's played a party by the ocean, mermaids, fish, crustaceans, cephalopods, lamellibrates of all shapes and sizes would show up to boogie. And love that swirling effect after Fred sings "Down, down." There are too many silly sounds and bizarre lines in this song to mention.

in reply to Tipi Giant lobster kite! Brilliant! Thanks for the idea, Tip. I've added it to the product selection. Let's hope somebody springs for one.

in reply to RufusQuail Hi Rufus! - May be, you could feature a giant lobster kite. They are kind of pricey and would be a lovely addition for the lobster lover in us!

in reply to Shelly The bisque sounds delicious Shelly. For Margo, I'm going to look on eBay for an affordable lobster phone. I don't think this lens will attract high rollers looking for a $12,000 phone.

Lobsters don't suffer a bit when we eat them, by the time they are cooked just right, they are long dead. I devised a delicious lobster bisque a while back. Just a bit of sherry and oh my! Not sure if it's a true bisque or not, I just call it that when asked what it is.
As usual I learned something new from you. I didn't know that those are flippers on the end of the lobsters tail. What fun you bring to us!

However, I never knew you could get live lobster on Amazon!
