So far the manliness awards for 2005 have found their first nominees:
Crabs, Lobsters and Worms.
Study finds that worms don’t feel pain on fishhooks and crabs/lobsters don’t when you boil them.
First off, you have to be impressed. They’re so freakin hard core that you can impale them and they scoff.
You can BOIL THEM ALIVE and they’re all, “ppfffttttttt- you heat water like a sissy. call me when you get a real stove.”
The study also reported that some of the test lobsters actually managed to jump free of the boiling water, smack the cook unconscious with his own tongs, make several peak hour calls on their cell phone and steal their car.
Actually this is a huge relief for me. In recent years both the boiling alive of delicious crabs and the impaling of worms to catch fish have given me pangs of guilt. And talk about timing, Heidi just won us a couple (50 buck) tickets to this HUGE crab fest Thursday. Hello!

Arethusa added these pithy words on Feb 07 05 at 7:06 pmI had some crab & lobsters (along with shrimp and mussels) for dinner tonight. Made some linguine and tomato sauce, did ‘em up right. I am heartened to know that the first two sea critters didn’t mind.
Becky added these pithy words on Feb 07 05 at 9:52 pmOf course, I’ve always wondered how these studies come to these conclusions? And please, don’t tell me you’re making Heidi wait on the bay-bay until after the crab fest?
Charone added these pithy words on Feb 07 05 at 10:05 pmWell, that’s good to know. Too bad I don’t like crab or lobster.
Jason added these pithy words on Feb 08 05 at 6:07 pmYou had pangs of guilt over eating crabs and impaling worms?
Who’s the stupid fat whore now?!

Shane added these pithy words on Feb 09 05 at 4:03 pmThanks for taking the last bit of joy out of my life Ed. I boil lobsters alive specifically to watch them suffer and then I just throw them away. Next you’re going to tell me that cats like to be shot by bb guns.
