Italian-Americans - magic or otherwise - really don't like being called that, Gonz.
Just saying, like.

Is this a tortuous "guido" pun?

Did you have to ask?

I'm rather hoping I'm wrong and it's something clever.

It's a reference to the term 'guinea' which is a US derogatory term for Italians.
Came from "Guinea Negro" and originally referred to any Black or any person of mixed ancestry. This dates back to the 1740s. By the 1890s it was being applied to Italians-almost certainly because they tend to have darker skin than Anglo-Saxons/Germans.

I don't understand what you mean here.
I want to move to Main in america, because lobster there is considered a regular meat.

I just looked up lobster farms.
Apparently they eat each other making high density farming a problem.

Lobsters, just too damned tasty.

( Kroney, Tue 16 Aug 2011, 11:33, Reply)

Good fun trying to catch them on a dive, too.
Tricksy little buggers that they are.

Yeah', that's totally true.
They've very aggresive, and often inside the lobster-pots you'll find they've killed each other.

I think on pay-day this month I'm going to buy a lobster and cook it for dinner.

One of my neighbours is a fisherman
who sometimes flogs us lobsters for a quid a pop.

And stands in the front of the boat barking at dolphins.
