May 6 2008Win Lobsters In A Claw Machine. HAAHAHA A!
Get it? Lobsters, claw machine? Lobsters have claws, this claw machine has lobsters, I have no brain. I've actually known about these machines for a while, because I was filming a documentary about people (me) who get drunk and travel around to bars playing claw games. If you think I'm joking I have three trashbags filled with stuffed animals and crap to prove it. Oh, and I saw one like this at a seafood restaurant in the Outer Banks. The place would even cook your lobster for you if you won. But it cost $1 to play so I only got to try twice. And even being a claw machine expert, I couldn't freaking grab the crustaceous bastard I had my eye on. I did manage to tear one of his legs off though.
NOTE: Not really.
Worthwhile video of people playing, after the jump.
Thanks Melissa, I'll take you out for a nice lobster dinner sometime. Somewhere with those delicious cheese biscuits.

Wow,
This makes lobster eating even more brutal. I love the little bugs, but leave the terrorization to the dogs. This freaks me out a little.
It does, however, make me want to eat some lobster. Just thinking of ripping those little guys limb from limb and sucking at tender white flesh from their skeletons makes my mouth water.

Go ahead and laugh. In a thousand years, that will be us, in some goliath alien species' claw machine.

I'm still gonna laugh, it's not like we'll be alive in a thousand years, only our descendants, that is if any of us nerds can get any action.

I actually saw these when I was down in Florida recently, but it wasn't nearly as difficult as the author makes it sound. I won a lobster on my first try and the place cooked it up. On my second try, I actually nabbed two at the same time. Unfortunately the kitchen was closed by this point so we had to take them home and do the work ourselves.
