Chad (or Betty, really), I'm confused by Jordan's explanation that the "lobster to go" aspect of the N-S story was just her own embellishment told to friends.

When I read that, I reached for my July 13 N-S, still here in the house, to double-check my recollection. Yeah, that Regas receipt, complete with date, time, and itemized charges (as well as a notation as to the skimpy tip left) appeared as a photocopy on the front page.

It sure looks to me like the receipt tape details four lobster tails, total. What gives?

Two per meal equals four?

"Plus, he knew down the road that he’d need me.”

For what? fashion advice? Surely not for wholesale vote procurement. Isn't there something unamerican about that?

Shoulda gone to Chandler's...

I just called Regas. One lobster tale, 9 oz. goes for $48.95. Two tails, 18 oz. goes for $77.05.

I love lobster, but 18 oz is alotta lobsta.

Maybe Diane took one tail home in a box?

I can't believe county government has come to this!

Don Bosch called it "The Lobster that Ate Knox County."

You know, a company (Regas) hasn't gotten this much unanticipated publicity since Tim Burchett sold mulch by the interstate... If I owned a used car lot, I'd be giving away a free lobster with every car purchase. Think of all the marketing possibilities...

I hope for his sake somebody needs him. (Maybe somebody needin' an uhl filter. EDIT: Maybe he just sells an uhl filter within a package that includes a whole set of tahrs, but I would not buy a used car or anything else from him.)

Knox County definitely does not.
