"Big Dee Dee", a 10 kilogram lobster in New Brunswick, has been saved from the cook pot by a vegetarian who bought him at auction for $3000. Said vegetarian, no surprise, intends to release Big Dee Dee into the wild.As lobster lover, I am always delighted by this sort of story. Not only is the owner of the lobster $3000 richer, but we now have a chance to catch the crustacean again so he can meet his date with destiny and a nice bowl of melted butter.
And maybe a loaf of fresh, hot French bread on the side.
And a bottle of decent champagne.
Excuse me, I'm getting a bit peckish.
Isn't capitalism grand?

...or a can/box of champagne, as shown in the post a few down.
Or better---the 10kg beast gets released next to a nuclear power plant, and next we see him he's grown a bit, and pulling down container ships with his mighty claws. There is a scene where John Agar or a reasonable facsimile has to don hard-hat diving gear, after a close call where he and a pretty girl (with a Ph.D. in marine biology, named Pat or Mike or something else that sounds like a man's name) have to fight the beast off with a fire extinguisher. At the end of the movie it is discovered that Deedeezilla has one weakness: drawn butter. Will the shipment from Wisconsin arrive in time, or is New York doomed? The suspense! I can't take it!
(Man, I'd pay money to see that movie!)
You laugh (as did I at your comment) but there was a movie called "Teenagers From Outer Space" and the awful nightmare thing they brought to Earth was a giant lobster.
That's in addition to the awful nightmare thing that was the movie.
Other than that all I can think is: mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...lobster!!
Ah, yes! I remember! MST3K'd as I recall. Only one (1) actual Teenager, though he was indeed from Outer Space. And some dude named Kaagaar or something who was into threats of TOR-chure!
What one remembers from his undergrad days. Not that MST3K is unimportant of course.
