I have no idea, but I did hear he was in a jam or was it a giant clam?

ShortNCuddlyAm · 01-29-2010, 09:30 AM

And is he responsible for Pshrynk's time machine?

dsvick · 01-29-2010, 09:33 AM

He lives down the street and around the corner from Spongebob. Having recently escaped from a supermarket he wears his red rubber band like a badge of honor and as a constant reminder of his brothers and sisters still in captivity, but mostly he wears it because he cant get it off.

Oops.

Fixed it.

If it's the song by the B52's, the writers sound like they *could* be MobileRead members or some of your patients or both.
From Wikipedia.

Quote:

...superficially nonsensical lyrics about a beach party and excited rants about real or imagined marine animals ("There goes a dog-fish, chased by a cat-fish, in flew a sea robin, watch out for that piranha, there goes a narwhal, here comes a bikini whale!")

If your talking about the illegal *spiny* (no big claws) lobster catch over the Australia Day long weekend then that's a whole other story.

Quote:

Fisheries officers also detected 12 different people allegedly committing various rock lobster pot offences, including interfering with another person’s pot, using a pot in another person’s name and using excess pots.

If you're talking about a lobster named Rock or some dude named Rock, then I have no idea.

Let me just say that I love lobster though its cost and scarcity lead me to limit my consumption to one or less per year. Rock? It'll never die. And that's all I have to say about that.

[HEADLINES! VR INDICATES THAT HE HAS NOTHING MORE TO SAY ON A SUBJECT!

MARKETS SOAR ON THE POSSIBILITY!!

HOWEVER, SKEPTICS ARE CONFIDENT THIS IS MERE SPECULATION (I.E., LYING) AND THAT FURTHER BLABBERING IS ALMOST CERTAIN TO FOLLOW! ALSO, LLAMAS IN NEWFOUNDLAND ARE COLD! MORE AT ELEVEN!]

Is this some logic based seizure?

Rock Lobster is usually about 8 bucks a tail if you buy it at Vans or Staters.

Wasn't he someone's earlobe?

Ahh, I remember him well. A wonderful case of "apt-onym".

He was one of the most famous of his now sadly deceased profession. I remember how, as storms where advancing towards the coast he, with two of his colleagues, managed, in the space of a mere thirty minutes, to throw together (literally) a 400 yard breakwater using the huge bolders that a fleet of lorries delivered to them.

On another occasion, after a cliff collapsed on a the only road linking a small town to the outside world he, single handledly cleared a one and a half mile stretch whilst using the rubble to create a bridge over the river shortening the journey by thirty minutes and so letting an ambulance in to rescue a woman suffering labour complications (who happily went on to be delivered, unexpectedly, of three healthy triplets).

But perhaps he is most famous for his two thousand yard lob. Landed spot on target. Blocked the road and kept the politician and his literature out of town.

He really was the greatest of the Rock Lob-sters....
