The lobster just returned from an anger management course from Mayo Clinic.

I AM LOBSTER MAYO
Is he alive or dead?
Has he thoughts within his head?
Well just pass him there
Why should we even care?

Nobody wants him
He just stares at the world
Planning his vengeance
That he will soon unfold

Mr. Lobster,
I enjoyed you deliciously as it was not the usual crap they serve. I am especially gratefully for the Mayo tidbits! Don’t be angrily, I promise I will early pay.
Not angrily at all,
Yours Mr, Mrs, etc

Don’t mind me. I’m just getting in touch with my inner lobster.

If they called me Mayo Tidbits I would be angry too…

Strangely enough the new line of Ginza Lion Kanazawa crustacean-themed mood rings failed to ignite the publics excitement. If only they’d used wasabi instead of mayonaise flavouring and extended the range of emotions beyond ‘angrily’, ‘miserably’ and ‘nauseatedly’, things might have been very different…

Well, I did call it a “bottom feeder.”

Oh come on Mr. Lobster. Just because they used mayo instead of buttering you up is no reason to get crabby.

- I am lobster Mayo with naughty tidbits. I can look at you angrily!
- Nice to meet you, Mr. Mayo. I am Customer anonymous. You can look at me as much angrily as you want. But after intentionally inserting you into my dark, wet cave, full of grave stones, strange enzymes, pollution and Bacterium, I will digest you.
Unintentionally.

‘Mommy, why is this lobster looking at me like that?’
‘Don’t be afraid honey, it’s just a little upset. Now let’s get out of here.’

The “angrily” part refers to your bowels after you’ve eaten.

You’ve heard of angry birds? No we have angry lobster…

The girl who went to the restaurant in a see through Blouse, only ended up getting a tit-bit.

Hilarious. The “puri-puri” in Japanese got translated as “angrily”.
Maybe it has that meaning. I’ve heard it to mean “plump” or even “fat”.
Better English translation: “Plump Shrimp with Mayo”.

Or better yet…”Jumbo Shrimp with Mayo”?

But that would be an oxymoron. Now THAT never happens in Engrish, does it?

The Chinese version has got kana, a worse mistranslation I think.

This is either Engrish, or the worst name to wrestle under ever.
