The movie The Titanic: From a Lobster's Perspective would be quite a bit shorter than the DiCaprio/Winslet version, but I bet those moments in the frigid Atlantic prior to being crushed by pressure were truly glorious for the lobsters who made it that far.
Such cultured crustaceans! It's tragic that we boil them alive instead of having them teach us French.
Deliciously tragic.

Be careful. Salivating could easily lead to public mastication.

Such a tremendous source of untapped revenue for local governments. I'm surprised it's still legal in the US.

From what I understand, the full impact of POTUS has yet to be felt in many quarters.
Perhaps this is on someone's agenda ?

Honestly, I think it's on everyone's agenda. They just won't admit it.
I must check the reports from our man in Washington, on the BBC.

Pequeño vals vienés
Frederico Garcia Lorca
En Viena hay diez muchachas,
un hombro donde solloza la muerte
y un bosque de palomas disecadas.
Hay un fragmento de la mañana
en el museo de la escarcha.
Hay un salón con mil ventanas.
¡Ay, ay, ay, ay!
Toma este vals con la boca cerrada.
Este vals, este vals, este vals, este vals,
de sí, de muerte y de coñac
que moja su cola en el mar.
Te quiero, te quiero, te quiero,
con la butaca y el libro muerto,
por el melancólico pasillo,
en el oscuro desván del lirio,
en nuestra cama de la luna
y en la danza que sueña la tortuga.
¡Ay, ay, ay, ay!
Toma este vals de quebrada cintura.
En Viena hay cuatro espejos
donde juegan tu boca y los ecos.
Hay una muerte para piano
que pinta de azul a los muchachos.
Hay mendigos por los tejados,
hay frescas guirnaldas de llanto.
¡Ay, ay, ay, ay!
Toma este vals que se muere en mis brazos.
Porque te quiero, te quiero, amor mío,
en el desván donde juegan los niños,
soñando viejas luces de Hungría
por los rumores de la tarde tibia,
viendo ovejas y lirios de nieve
por el silencio oscuro de tu frente.
¡Ay, ay, ay, ay!
Toma este vals, este vals del «Te quiero siempre».
En Viena bailaré contigo
con un disfraz que tenga
cabeza de río.
¡Mira qué orillas tengo de jacintos!
Dejaré mi boca entre tus piernas,
mi alma en fotografías y azucenas,
y en las ondas oscuras de tu andar
quiero, amor mío, amor mío, dejar,
violín y sepulcro, las cintas del vals.

Makes me think of The Mask of the Red Death by Edgar Allan Poe for some reason.

A blast from the past, HP. I haven't listened to The Moodys for yonks. Funnily enough, they sound a little more mellow than I recall. Just had to revisit ...
