The OP hasn’t even come back in a long while to reply to us. Typical drive-by transient OP bullshit. Who needs him? I like [this Vegemite 101 video](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kt_2gJmdezM). Vegemite would taste like crap on lobster though (I am guessing. Its close cousin, Marmite is horrible on seafood). ---

No. I have rented one upon occasion, but they are too much work for too little reward. ---

What does it mean to own a lobster? I cook them at home often and you get them from tanks in the supermarket still alive so their have been brief periods when I could have truthfully answered ‘Yes’ to this question. I even like to play with them for a while before boiling them and some of them have had names for a short time. The same can be said for a lobster I order in a restaurant. The lobster is still alive when I give the execution order even if I never see it alive. I don’t like to think of it in these terms however. When I consume the lobster, it becomes part of me in the great circle of life so I can honestly say that I am part lobster. Do I cease to own the lobster if it is still an important part of me? I choose to think not. Old Snappy will never truly be gone as long as I am still around. ---
