Bubba

[HuskerBob]

He's Bubba, a 22-pound leviathan of a lobster pulled from the waters off Nantucket, Mass., and shipped to a Pittsburgh fish market.
"It is overwhelming," owner Bob Wholey said. "If you see it, you will never forget it. Customers are just in awe.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals sent Wholey a letter asking him to work with the group to release Bubba back in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Maine.

Another group calling itself People For Eating Tasty Animals reportedly offered Wholey a hefty price for the lobster. At Tuesday's price of $14.98 a pound, Bubba would retail for about $350.

Id like to know how i sign up for this tasty animal eatin club!

I heard about this on the radio yesterday. He was saved from the boiling pot and all set for spending his reaming life in captivity then he goes and dies, tough break. Guess it figured life at an aquarium was a fate worse then death and just threw in the towel.

Wonder if they'll boil him up now? Bring on the butter.

Reminds me of my old pet lobster, Pinchy, god rest his soul.
