I would easily ignore my commitment to veganism for a lobster roll!   ;D

It's that time of year when they are selling lobster rolls at McDonald's. $4.79 and they are pretty good to be honest.

The guy who cuts my hair, Adam, and his partner went out for lobster on July 4th. They ended up at "The Taste of Maine" (on Route 1 in Woolwich) and ordered "the world's largest lobster roll." It was 2 feet long, had 2 pounds of lobster meat (!!) -- no celery, no mayonnaise, just lobster meat and melted butter. Adam didn't even eat the baguette it was stuffed in, just scraped out the lobster. Ed did eat some of the bread. Total cost: $49.99.

What a fun/ funny dream Leslie! I'm sitting here in my office laughing.  :laugh: 

I'm impressed by how detailed it was!  And by how the two elements (the crab and the books) came together in the end.

That I get indignant far too easily?  :)   So is Conus Books a real place, or just in the dream?  And I think Jeff might be right - a Maine Brokie gathering would be great.

I think Conus Books is just a dream place. Besides, Waterboro is a pretty small town so I am not sure why I would think it would have a very famous book store.

I am still puzzling over why very famous crab sandwiches (they had a special name, too, like Crab Bistro or something) would be served at a bookstore.

Oh, it was very detailed. I didn't even get into the part about looking at the map and the one guy who insisted on staying in a hotel in Lewiston!

Lynne and LauraGigs and I were talking about this the other day and I thought I'd repost it here:

LOL, thanks Elle.  Even in goofy bunny form, the double shirts are heartwrenching!  :'(

I enjoyed angry rabbit Jack in the lake/ argument scene. 8)

Lobster rolls at McDonald's?  :o

Lobster rolls at McDonald's, people killed by a wave of molasses, brown bread which isn't bread and a dreamy bookstore which sells famous lobster rolls. Add a non-real Brokie meeting, two real Japanese students and a few Brokeback bunnies and *poof*, you get the magic 1000+Posts Club thread  :laugh:.

(Now how was that for a summary? )


You are some crazy folks ;). I feel right at home .... ;D

Yes, what a thread! What a club! And we even have a sekrit handshake...LOL

(PS, the bookstore sold crab sandwiches...minor point except that strange Brokie in my dream--that's all he wanted to eat!)
