No wonder Maine (and New Hampshire) lobstermen refer to Homarus americanus as "bugs"!

As to Homarus sinsullus, the original Maine-variety tree lobster was laid to rest several years ago, but I was able, by astute bartering at a yardsale, to procure a pristine inflatable lobster still in its original box that I presented to Mary some time ago.

That it doesn't live in the traditional tree is probably the result of the lack of Republicans generating hot air in Sinsull's living room.
