More sex and violence than “True Blood”?
The book “The Secret Life of Lobsters” has more sex and violence in it that most episodes of True Blood, and has the added benefit of being slightly less embarrassing to trot out in conversation.
Wait, less embarrassing?
Anyway, I love this. Sports Blog Nation uses The Secret Life of Lobsters as metaphor for a college football game between Stanford and USC. It goes on to say:
The researchers profiled in the book observe what happens in their lab when they arrive one morning to find their biggest lobster gone, and the remaining smaller lobsters suddenly strutting around the tank like prize peacocks. The videotape from the night before told the tale: it showed the biggest lobster molting, and then waiting helplessly at the end of the tank while the smaller, bullied lobsters crept along the bottom with murder on their mind. If you haven’t watched the fourth quarter of the Stanford/USC game, you’re missing some quality lobster vengeance. USC, wracked with injuries on defense, inexperience on offense, and an ungelled offensive coaching staff, lay crippled at the end of the tank, and lobster Harbaugh was all too happy to take advantage.
