Lobster Death
Fellow b3tan Kip and I once tried to make lobster for dinner, which was all well and good except for the killing of the damn thing. It just would not die! We stabbed it through the back of its head with the knife and did the wiggling around thing but the poor bastard just kept moving its claws and shuffling around the chopping board. It oozed weird lobster juice and as we'd cut its face in half it was doing that weird jaw snappy thing like the bad guy out of Blade II. It was horrific. We eventually gave in and threw it in the pot, hoping that the heat combined with the really disfiguring facial injury would finish it off. Ten minutes later we lifted the pot lid and it was still moving.

I swear the whole time I could hear it screaming.

It was fucking delicious though.
