I never knew, but now I do from the WP article, about the story of Lobster Mom. For some reason I thought it was a caregiver who ate all the lobsters (?) but now I learn its a drunk DH who released the lobsters from a tank , love it , does anyone have the post. ?
I'm an old time UBer and I had never heard that story until yesterday's wp article! It sounds like it must have been an amazing thread! There is a more recent UB lobster mom, though, who had put out 7 lobsters for 5 guests (which guest count may or may not have included her friend's nanny) and the nanny ate 3 of them, plus didn't even eat the legs or knuckles.
I vaguely, vaguely remember the original lobster post though I'm not sure anymore if I've read it in real time or if I heard of it because it became UB legend, But, yes as pp above posted there's another lobster mom who complained about friend's nanny eating too many (or and at all). I'll also never forget Chone and Chone's mom.
Poster above: I only vaguely remember Chone. Please refresh my memory.
Chone was a very extra spelling for the name Sean. I don't remember anymore how the thread developed in detail, all I remember is that it was hilarious.
Nanny hogging lobster is the story I remember
Wait - is this the nanny eating 3 large lobsters thing?
I recall the nanny ate too much lobster at a Hamptons party, I don't recall any drunk husband as pert of the story.
Basically what people said above. The main Lobster Mom story is that OP ordered enough lobsters for everyone but the nanny ate multiple lobsters and so there weren’t enough left for the other guests. OP got flamed by many people.
I found it JUST before UB closed down! The formatting is horrible, but it is here: https://web.archive.org/web/20160813011847/http://www.urbanbaby.com/topics/55602130
