This is all true
<emma> but presented with a regular shrimp i generally will not eat it
<stl> They do admittedly look rather vile.
<emma> the texture kind of gets me too
<emma> like, it’s the same reason i’m not hugely into lobster
<emma> there’s something strange about them
<emma> i am pretty sure they are aliens
<stl> Aliens from the deep!
<emma> have you seen lobsters?
<emma> they are totally goddamn aliens
<stl> Agents of Cthulhu!
<stl> Harbingers of the imminent return of the Great Old Ones.
<emma> that is absolutely correct
<stl> I bet that is really why they taste so good.
<emma> if by good you mean evil, then i agree
<emma> “mmm, dagon-licious”
<stl> Haha, damn right.
There was a Discovery Channel special not too terribly long ago which outlined the constant conflict between vertebrates and invertebrates for control of the planet. Even now they may be plotting, waiting for us to slip just once on our traversal of the evolutionary ladder, so that they may bring about their own slimy, exoskeletal civilization…
A nice garlic butter sauce will put any Great Old One in its place.
Lobsters fear boiling water because it changes them to a bright pink/red color. This ugly unnatural color proves they are evil. It’s all we have between us and a world controled by evil exoskeletal creatures.
The aliens’ one great folly is they didn’t realize they were delicious to most of mankind.
This must never obtain the bomb!
