They put it in the pot over the fire and the water's boiling away and then the lid starts rattling and aieee the lobster's crawling out.

But I should point out they moved out to the west coast immediately afterwards and never looked back.</p> <p>I KNOW WHAT YOU COOKED LAST SUMMER</p> My parents were on a camping trip in the northeast on their honeymoon and they’d bought a live lobster to cook.
