18	* LetMeGetThisStraight: At the grocery store, Pickles asks a seafood worker about cooking lobsters.
19	-->'''Pickles:''' Okay, hold on now, so you're telling me that you put these little guys in boiling water and they shriek, and they turn red and they die?\
20	'''Worker:''' Yes sir.\
21	'''Pickles:''' That is the most metal thing I ever heard in my whole life.
