kbobam Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 When I was younger I always enjoyed these 'claw' machines. Usually it was a case of trying to win a 'stuffed animal' for a girl. Just learned from a television show that in our most north-east United States state of Maine, they have machines where you can win a lobster!

kbobam Posted January 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 I have to agree with both of you. Posted it right after I saw it, and at that point all I was thinking was 'How outrageous! Never seen that before!' But I did feel sort of 'conflicted' a little later. It's kind of awful. And although anyone who wants to buy me a lobster dinner complete with melted butter, lemon, and bib is automatically my newest best friend, I don't think I could be the guy who dropped my crustacean cousin into the boiling water.

mon Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Long ago I worked at Euclid Fish Co. and an old timer's joy was to take these live homard lobsters and turn them upside on their nose with the claws out like a tripod .....they would stay that way days! Some they used for center pieces weight up in the 20lb plus range and had very large pegs in the claws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
