AAARRRRR MATEY!! Let's capture the land lobster booty!!

You'll note that when evil geniuses try to take over the world, they
always have very exacting requirements for their evil scientific
facilities. His land lobster breeding pen is perfectly set up to
produce thousands of land lobsters ready to carry out his plan of
world domination.

Yes he likes to watch land lobsters doing it!! And he signs:

LAND LOBSTER! YOU DON'T HAVE TO TURN ON YOUR RED DARKROOM LIGHT!
LAAAAAAND LOBSTER! YOU DON'T HAVE TO SELL YOUR SAUSAGE-LIKE
TENTACLES TO THE NIGHT! LAAAAAAAAND LOBSTERRRRRR!

HE ADMITS HIS PLAN FOR WORLD DOMINATION!

This is also why I am trying to destroy rats, so that walking sausages
will walk around ready for the eatin'.
