Before this, the most Boston thing I experienced was driving through the Big Dig and suddenly being overwhelmed with the delicious smell of roasted lobster… and then finding out that literally overhead, Boston’s largest lobster distributor was on fire.

Boston (and the whole area) is so lobster-centric that I only occasionally admit that I much prefer crab to lobster.

I’ve ridden my bike through that intersection many times. It is an unsurprising place for an accident.

There was a jailhouse riot in what is now Marblehead, Mass over too much lobster. It was the original ‘chicken of the sea.’

About the only way they could make it more Boston would be to have the pursuit end up on Storrow Drive.

Lobster is a sea cockroach, yuk. The only reason I can see why people eat it is that is a conduit for butter and lemon.

The irony is that people eat spiders in this universe, too.
