Four Lobsters

Four lobsters walk into a bar... I just spent a good ten minutes looking for a half decent lobster joke, and the best I could find was about Larry the Lobster leaving his harp in Stan the Clam's disco. I don't get it. Maybe if I read it from a dirty perverted mindview it'd be funnier.

There's a serious lack of humour in the world of arthropods.

I'd quote some disney at you but my head is rather stretched at the moment.

So, four lobsters.

I have no idea how the name came into being, and I really wish there was a funny story I could tell you, but there's not. I now work on the livejournal based Lotrips fandom newsletter known as four_lobsters. I need a tagline.

We read trash, so you don't have to.

Fresh-water terrors molesting the fandom oyster, pearls to your friends list every day!

Snapping up stories of the weird, by the weird, for the weird! Lotrips newsletter, boiled alive daily.

Pinching Lotrips on the arse with detached journalistic professionalism. Come watch it squeal in exciting ways!

Or:

No more sushi-obsessed Orli fics! Clams have feelings too! RPS for shellfish sensitivity. (Daily newsfeed, free of charge but please buy a button.)

Try to believe me when I say I'm not on medication. And I'm not supposed to be either, as far as I know. Basically I'm collecting up Lotrips and general fandom links each day and handing them over to acari, who runs the thing. News on new challenge projects, new archives, fandom discussion, media, the larger pic spams, memes, fanfic meta issues, recs, and general funny Lotrips related pieces. A daily digest, so to speak, of Lotrips fandom happenings. Those of you on livejournal can read it the usual way, those of you who aren't... I can't imagine for a minute there's anybody reading this that's interested and doesn't have a livejournal. But all livejournals have rss feeds, our one is here - four_lobster's rss feed.

You can't find any good lobster jokes, because they keep them all for themselves.

They're shellfish like that.

The punchline from that lobsters joke is a bad pun on the song "I left my heart in San Francisco"

Sorry if I'm stating the obvious...

Well it wasn't at all obvious to me, so thanks. I think. To both of you. I think.

I am sitting at the bar in a tapas place in Ellsworth, Maine, when the front door opens and in walks a lobster. He saunters over to the bar and claws his way up on to the barstool next to me. "This is amazing" says I," I just looked at the menu and they have an entree named after you."
"Really", says he," They have an entree named Eric?"
