You have to let it go to find out.

I once stopped off in Mariana’s trench but all I got was some crabs.

I’ve seen a lobster, but no-one’s ever mentioned whether I have crabs. I had a goldfish when I was a kid, though. Yesterday I had a nice curry for dinner.

The punctuation is odd. “Test, ignore.” It’s like a set of instructions. We have to test and then ignore. Ignore the results?

It’s a crustacean sensation,  
Across the nation.  
A chance for the meals to meet.  
The butter’s fine and the bread’s well done,  
We’re dining in the streets.

( Philadelphia, PA… don’t forget the Motor City. Howzabout Camden, Maine?.. )

All around we’ve got shellfish, sweet sweet shellfish. With sides of mussels everywhere…

Down by the dock around the corner from Cappy’s in Camden. Hang out. Wait for the lobster boats to come in. My god that’s some fresh tasty lobstah 😃

It would be kinda neat to have a penis that doubled as a claw. I mean, as of right now it turns red but that’s about as lobster-like as it gets.

How do you put a thread on ignore anyway? Every time I come in here, this thing is just staring me in the face. It is like trying to NOT think about a WHITE BEAR for 30 seconds. Try, it yourself. It is really difficult.
