Whole Foods may stop selling lobsters

Houston Business Journal reports that Whole Foods may stop selling lobsters:

Whole Foods Market Inc., which operates four stores in Houston, says it'll stop selling live lobsters if a more humane way isn't found to buy and sell them.

Personally, I'm waiting for a humane alternative to boiling them alive and eating them, but perhaps that falls under unavoidable suffering.

Salonyms

Salem has an unique ability to splice words together and form her own meanings:

Hilarious + Embarrassing = Hilarrassing | Characterized by or causing the great merriment of others at the expense of one's self.

Probably + Maybe = Paybe | Probably, perhaps, most likely.
 
Phooey + Poop = Phoop | Used to express disgust, disbelief, or contempt.

Speaking of disgust, my mom doesn't really care for the word poop when used in that context. So, she was the one that tried to get Salem to say phooey, instead... thus phoop was spawned.

I think Mom dislikes phoop even more, because it exhibits a form of rebellion. I agree, but also tend to believe it shows creative flair and is paybe preferable to saying crap.
